Hey there,

I have a T3 Set altar. I wanted to change its foundations from wedge foundations to normal ones. Pretty sure you could upgrade/replace existing normal foundations with foundations of another style (i.e. turanian, sandstone). Appears to work with other building types (i.e. artisan table).  
But in case of this altar, I can only place wedge foundations, not the normal ones, under it.  
I remember after a purge, having destroyed foundations below an altar and I wasn’t able to place new ones (few years ago).

As far as I understood, this post (especially the last few entries) explain the issue as well (pun intended).

> Game mode: Online official Type of issue: Bug Server type: PvE Region: America Mods?: No Edition: Steam Bug Description: Building pieces under Wells, Altars, and Wheel of Pain can be picked up, but can’t be replaced. Destroyed building pieces from purges also can’t be replaced. EDIT: This problem appears to have been reported before, maybe others. I’ll keep looking. Steps to Reproduce: Pickup a building piece under a well, altar or wheel of pain. Observe: Can’t place a building piece…

Don’t know whether this counts as a bug and wanted to ask if someone knows a workaround of some sort. Thanks!

UPDATE: I can somehow place them, when they don’t snap and built from there, so it appears to be some very weird behaviour, I can’t explain: the green part under the altar shows the next foundation I could place.
