Basic Info:

Platform: Playstation 5
Issue Type: Gameplay
Game Mode: single player
Server Type: PvE
Map: exile lands

I did my first use of “creative mode” yesterday after resetting my save file on single player at exile lands after loosing my two year old castle to create a small version that Will house one player and 20 thralls.

When the moment came to place the first elevator, the game was not letting me to place it and gave me the warning that there’s no valid area to place it.

I had the same issue tonight in single player

There could be several reasons/potential fixes for this.

  1. You require more stability at the top or bottom of the elevator;
  2. Remove and replace the foundations and ceilings and other nearby objects. Sometimes you can build things in a spot and only then put things near, build order can make or break things;
  3. Place a foundation and/or ceiling where you want the elevator to be placed, then remove that block and try again. I often get spots i suddenly can’t place something, but when i place and remove a different building piece it’ll then recognize the area as a valid placement block;
  4. Unlikely this is your issue but nonetheless: have no followers near whatsoever. Not above, below or anywhere near;
  5. Alignments of anything connected to the elevator’s travel path. Whatwith the ‘Fence Foundation’ pieces and some select bazaar items being able to create deviating snapping points (for example:Fence foundations can create a lower snapping point and create a layer when placed against foundations), something might be in the way even if visually it should seem fine.
  6. Last but not least, have you perhaps built in the same area before and are now redoing a build? I’ve had instances where the old snapping points still applied even though everything was seemingly removed. It may take a server restart or some fiddling to fully remove your obstruction if this is the case.

Hope any of this fixes your issue.

I tried everything I could but no result. This issue has appeared on me for the first time. I was always prepared a elevator tube with the walls, two door frames and the elevator 's doors opened with their auto close switched off so they can stay open and the elevator to be placed.

And from elevator, I use the vanilla ones.

I had this issue, also. Could not place the elevator in creative mode. Left creative mode and the elevator placed just fine.

I tried that to, the issue was persisting .

Hello!

Our team is having some issues reproducing this.

Could you please give us the following information:

  • How tall is the elevator you are trying to make?
  • A picture of the place you are trying to place it.
  • Is it working fine if you exit creative mode?
  • Could you also make a video of you trying to place it?

Thank you for your help!

  1. The elevator tube for the elevator is 5 walls high from the ground floor to the first floor of the base (three walls for the ground floor and two for the upper floor).
  2. Sadly by my mistake I didn’t collected a video or picture before resetting my signle player save file on my playstation.
  3. Sadly I tried to place the elevator after exiting the creative mode and still the same result upon placement.
  4. I might not have a video but I do believe the issue that I mentioned in this previous report might be the issue for the elevator problem I have: Placement Bug with building pieces
