Bug Description:
Can’t place thrall at certain burning cauldrons and archer posts. The thrall can’t be placed at a burning cauldron and it gives the overlapping error. For archer posts, there is no highlighted green position given when trying to place the thrall at the archer post, and there is no snap to the position. Some burning cauldrons and archer posts work, some don’t. Can’t determine any difference between the ones that work and don’t.
Bug Reproduction:
Successfully place a burning cauldron or archer post at a crenelated wall. BURNING CAULDRON: Select a thrall, choose Guard, move cursor to burning cauldron. The green highlighted position appears, but Thrall cannot be placed at it, and there is an X saying overlapping terrain is the issue. There is nothing overlapping. (Note: I noticed that the green highlight was acting strangely, warping into long straight lines for a split second). ARCHER POST: Select thrall, choose Guard, move cursor over an archer post. No green highlight appears at all corresponding to the archer post, and the thrall won’t snap to guard at it.
More info for Burning Cauldron: Turns out I can’t place a thrall to guard at that location even if I remove the cauldron completely. And the same for a similar location where I was trying to place. So that bug isn’t related to the cauldron. Something wrong with two whole areas where I was trying to place thralls and had successfully placed cauldrons without issue. Something invisible is causing overlapping object error. Can’t place thrall for a radius of about 1 and 1/2 squares around the crenelated wall and ceiling tile. Reason unknown.
I doubt this helps, but when i encounter what you’ve described there was building overhead that interfered. I’d remove it, place the thrall and rebuild.
I noticed that when you place a slave NPC on an archer’s station, he cannot be placed if he does not have a bow equipped in his hands.
It sometimes happens that the archers fall through the crenellated walls and get stuck in their place , when I try to reposition them , if they do not have a bow in their hands , I cannot finalize the action .
Are you perhaps experiencing a similar problem?
Sure. Where my character is on the map, at about 9 or 10 blocks up from the ground on raised platform, is where there seemed to be a dead zone where thralls couldn’t be placed for guarding of any kind.
I resolved the issue by simply building my cauldron in a different spot, dropping from the side instead of directly over.
