0.63.149840 - DayZ BE 5131992 Cannot build a watchtower
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I spent about 45 minutes collecting the materials to build a watchtower. I placed the watchtower kit on the ground in the dirt and on the concrete. I added four wooden logs to the watchtower kit. I used a shovel to try building up the first floor. Neither location allowed me to build the watchtower.

Event Timeline

It is possible. Try standing directly over the logs and moving around, looking straight down. I got the prompt to pop up like that.

Suggestion for devs: The area that the popup should appear should be larger though, perhaps when the cursor is within the corners of the kit?

Thanks for the suggestion. I did try that. Not sure if it's in the video I uploaded.

Go to the 20 second mark. I saw the icon appear there for building the base.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate it. I've got over 1,000 hours in the game and struggled with this. Imagine how many people coming back will struggle.

@Geez may be close this ticket cause obsolete?

Yeah this can be closed. The problem was that the proxy for constructing the base was too small.
