Foundation building

Conan Exiles General Discussion
1

I apologise if this isn’t in the right section. I have only just started the game and I need some advice about building a foundation. I have build a line of foundation pieces (the foundation is for a fence that will be build when the foundation lines are complete), and have gone as far as I want to in that direction. Now I want to create a right angle corner, to continue the foundation in the new direction. I am trying to lay the first piece in the right angle, but the game wont let me snap to the end of the last piece. Instead, the game is snapping the new piece halfway along the last piece, so instead of the new piece running perpendicular to the last piece to form the right angle, it now looks like an + (with the left and top points of the + sticking out). Is there a corner piece that needs to be crafted/attached first, that I am overlooking? If it helps, I am playing solo offline and on the PS4.

Are you using foundation fences? I don’t think you can do what you want with them. you will need to place foundations first then attach the fence foundation to the outside of the foundation. If you can post a picture we can help more.

There are a couple things that could be happening here.

  1. Check to see if you can place a foundation directly under the last foundation piece. The game allows snap to foundations, as long as there is some connection to landscape. With uneven terrain, the connection to landscape is easy to lose, so you have to snap under, then beside, some foundations.

  2. There is an ongoing bug that causes you to be unable to snap to random foundation pieces, in random directions. Destroy the last foundation piece, rebuild it, then see if you can snap at your right angle. This is a bug, and it wastes resources, but it is unavoidable until they fix the bug.

  3. There is some sort of obstruction in the way. Some of this is a random occurrence (possible bug), since you can often build over some of these obstructions, but it is often the issue. Check for resource nodes, animals, etc. the last type of obstruction is an “unbuildable” area. Move away from your structure in that direction, and see if you can start a new structure close, but not snapped to, the foundation. Some permanent areas and buildings are designated as “no build” zones, such as the Relic Hunters city.

Let me know if this helps!

that would be a nice improvement
