Bug Description:
*I can’t pick up building pieces. The option is just not there. I had it few patches ago when picking up building pieces came to Conan for the 1st time. I’m not shure when exactly this option dissapeard because I was kinda buisy grinding for building materials for my base. I quess it was patch after this option came to Conan. Maybe it has something to do with Funcom patching ability to pick up building pieces from DLCs that you don’t own - I can only speculate. Anyway I’m building only with base game building pieces only.
Here’s proof that I still have this issue after patch 1.78 [2.8]: Conan Exiles PS4 - I can't pick up building pieces on my solo map - Exiled Lands - 1.78[2.8][PL/ENG] - YouTube *
Steps to Reproduce:
Start your Single Player map in solo mode [I, quess your world must be created from before building pieces feature even came to Conan]
Approach existing build owned by you and try picking up any buidling piece by pointing at it then pressing and holding Sqaure on your controller to try and find Pick it up option[if it’s there]
3.[Alternative] Craft a building piece, place it and try to pick it up by pointing at it then pressing and holding Sqaure on your controller to try and find Pick it up option[if it’s there]
Thanks for the reply. I didn’t want to spam forum with repeating itself topic but I was scrolling down topics and I couldn’t find any related to this. I’m using cloud and USB backups very often bro. Everytime I’m building something I’m forced to do backups. If I don’t like outcome of my build I’m going back to the backup I’ve made. With larger structures I’m forced to make a backup after a backup to save littlecof progress that meets my satisfaction. As for Admin Panel I never used it to spawn in building pieces or enabled no building cost etc. I used Admin Panel few times to:
I used flying and immortality to kill that boss that drops Yog’s Touch
spawn in Yog’s Touch axe and Master and Spikee Weapon Fitting because incoming patch was going to change stats of that weapon to worse and I was too noobish atm to even grind it legit
I increased number of Followers
I’ve tunred off Purges because I was in the middle of building my 1st decent main base on Exiled Lands, all my chests, fridges etc was on the beach and I’ve heard that picking building pieces is coming to Conan so I wanted to do my base in tier 3 building elements so I focused on grinding
I spawned in Grave Matter event items because event wasn’t spawning in Single Player after day 1.
I’m playing on official european PVE server 3033 and picking up building pieces along with latest 1.78 [2.8] patch feature - picking up Wheel of Pain - both does work for me in there.
As for Single Player I created brand new world today just to answer your question.
Conan Exiles base game data is based on two files:
User settings 3,15MB
Single Player/ Co-Op Data [Exiled Lands] 64,20MB.
After backing up both files on a USB and putting them on my laptop I deleted both on my PS4 to replace them with brand new.
Picking up building pieces [and Wheel of Pain] does work on a brand new world with brand new User Settings file.
I went further I did an experiment with combining old and new User Settings and Single Player/ Co-Op Data [Exiled Lands], here are the results:
old User Settings/ brand new SP-CO Data - I can’t pick up building pieces
new User Settings/ old SP-CO Data - I CAN pick up building pieces!
In all variations [even - old User Settings /old map] latest feature - picking up Wheel of Pain does work.
I also tried using Admin Panel to try to see if it will trigger this glitch but I was still able to pick up building pieces after quitting the game and running it again.
I asume the issue with picking up building pieces is caused by User Settings file. If you @Caroll are interested I can 7-Zip the User Settings file [3,15MB][or SP/CO Data files too 64,2MB]which I keep on my laptop and send it to an e-mail adress you will point me to? I quess only I can use this file as it’s bound to my PSN username, but you are developers of the game and I suppose you prolly have your ways to examine it anyway. It could help to figure out why this is happening and maybe help to find a solution to this issue so it can be included in one of the next patch files to Conan. Many users who play Single Player won’t even know that creating new User Settings file can solve this issue so I quess including this issue in next updates is necessary.
Forum member @LordKAA was talking about work arround to this issue - by downloading backup from the cloud but he didn’t specify when this backup was made and which files did he download. When doing backups I usually operate on Single Player /Co-Op data file.
If some1 wants to fix the issue like I just did please make shure to 1st create both new User Settings/ Single Player- Co Op Data file so you can adjust settings like Follwers limit numer to one you have currently on your old map [Single Player Co-Op Date file] to prevent loosing pets or thralls etc when putting your old map files onto your PS4.
So to fix issue with picking up building pieces on your solo offline world follow this steps:
A) When you use PlayStation Plus cloud storage for backing up your game data:
Start your current solo offline world and go to Settings and write down all of your important settings that you applied to the game.
Make shure you do cloud storage backups manually [upper menu/PlayStation Plus/Memebership Managment/Cloud storage/Automatic upload/unselect Conan Exiles] or [upper menu/Settings/Manage Saved Game Data/Automatic upload/unselect Conan Exiles].
Hover over Conan Exiles game icon on main PlayStation menu and press Options on your controller/ Send/Download Saved Game Data/Internal storage/Select and upload/select Single Player Co-Op Game Data (64,20MB) files and press Send
go to upper menu Settings/Manage Saved Game Data/Saved Data on internal storage/Delete/Conan Exiles/select User Settings files [3,15MB] and Single Player Co-Op Game Data/press Delete
run Conan Exiles/create brand new Single Player Co-Op world and apply all changes from old world which we talked in step 1. then exit your world and close the app
Hover over Conan Exiles game icon on main PlayStation menu and press Options on your controller/ Send/Download Saved Data/ Cloud storage/Select and Download/select Single Player Co-Op Game Data files you previously uploaded/Download [when asked to replaced currently owned files select Yes]
Now you will be able to pick up building pieces on your solo offline world.
B) When you use USB pendrive to backup your game data:
Start your current solo offline world and go to Settings and write down all of your important settings that you applied to the game.
Format your USB pendrive in FAT32 file system on your PC then insert it into PlayStation USB port.
upper menu/Manage Saved Game Data/Saved Data on internal storage/Copy on USB device/Conan Exiles/select Single Player Co-Op Game Dats files/Copy.
go to upper menu Settings/Manage Saved Game Data/Saved Data on internal storage/Delete/Conan Exiles/select User Settings files [3,15MB] and Single Player Co-Op Game Data/press Delete
run Conan Exiles/create brand new Single Player Co-Op world and apply all changes from old world which we talked in step 1. then exit your world and close the app
upper menu/Manage Saved Game Data/Dats Written on USB Device/Copy to internal storage /Conan Exiles/select Single Player Co-Op Game Data files you previously backed up on your USB/Copy [when asked to replaced currently owned files select Yes]
Now you will be able to pick up building pieces on your solo offline world.
