[I’m building a treehouse in one of the spiral pathed trees in the jungle and I keep getting a notification when trying to place pieces that I’ll be blocking my spawnpoint if I build here thus making it difficult and impossible to build in certain areas of my base. There is no spawnpoint where it claims there is, my leaf bed is on the ground a ways away and nowhere near where I’m attempting to build a roof. I’ve tried picking up my bed and moving it, I’ve tried keeping it in my inventory, I’ve tried destroying it but nothing works and I’m still unable to build because of this spawn point.]
Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
Not sure if anyone else has had this issue before but I started building in a tree.
Placed a bed on a platform in the treehouse and got a placement error on the other side of the house.
Moved bed outside on a cliff nearby.
Still error in placement.
Destroyed all building pieces in the trouble area and starts over.
Able to build and continues to do so.
Reaches a new unbuildable spawn point area despite bed being outside nowhere under the tree.
Doesn’t want to rip apart the base again and is currently at an impass.
Try a different tree, perhaps? See if you have the same condition in a different tree…
Check your Z-axis (down to the ground, up to the sky). Perhaps someone else has inhabited that space previously, and has a bedroll placed somewhere that you haven’t identified yet, and it is preventing you from block placement.
I’ve already checked to be sure no one was building in the area, and if they had the error would be different. It would state the land is already claimed while my notification is Placing a structure here would block your spawnpoint. I don’t even have a bed anymore since I destroyed it so I shouldn’t have a spawnpoint either. I’ve already built a pretty big platform/start of a house so I’d rather not have wasted all these resources or use up more to build a second base in another tree that I may just tear down later.
If worse comes to worse I may have to move but I’d rather it not come to that since I’ve spent so much time and resources building this one.
I had this message often when I was in admin mode and flying doing a test-build …it’s an irrelevant error message … sometimes cause the piece you want to place has bugged out a little and you need to swop pieces.
or it can’t be placed due to instability. instead of a proper message it gives this nonsense one.
The pieces in question currently are wedge sloped roof pieces so stability shouldn’t be an issue, I’ve tried using different pieces in the same spot as well but the same error persists. I’ll probably have to start breaking stuff again in hopes it’ll reset the space.
