@community Please help us.

Having the same issue with gate frames. Cannot place unless its on foundation pieces directly on the ground. If I build up beyond the base level, even if I have 100% stability, it just says “missing support underneath the gate”.
Im in pve official server 8068,Isle of Siptah map.

Hope this is just a bug and not a change in building.

Thank you for your reply!
I rewrote the sentence!

Yes, the gateway could have been placed in the middle of the ceiling, but that is no longer possible.

Same issue here unable to place gate frames

Funny that you can place gates connected by side to a foundation or another gate. But also here the gate must touch the ground. But it can also be lower the ground so you can make 3x3 gates :slight_smile:

I destroyed my entire base because i removed a gate to replace with another and couldnt do it. So i began rebuilding in another place because i tought it was the place that was bugging and now i just tried to put the gate again and no success, i lost 3 days of my life because of this, and now i saw this post ‘-’.

This must be fixed ASAP

The gate placement is rediculous. I have a base that is built up on a river. (Actually in the water.) The gate won’t snap to locations that were previously snappable, thus ruining my build. I am hoping this is an error or bug that can be fixed soon and not a change. This limits how and where you can build.

How long does it take for them to fix a bug reported here? Does anyone know?

This bug has been fixed in the update on February 21, 2023!

Thank you very much @community !
