Can no longer build fences, only platforms.
Reviewed, UrgentPublic

Description

Since updating to 1.08, I dismantled some of my wooden fences, which were completely built, in favour of replacing the wooden panels with sheet metal. This was successful on a few of the fences but I cannot complete my last 2. I haven’t changed anything inside my base from when I originally built it so there shouldn’t be anything in the way of the fences when I try to rebuild them. I have attempted to strip them down and completely restart the fence but the more I dismantle, the more I cannot build again and I now only get the option to build platforms but I should be able to build frames. I have added 99 nails and 20 planks to the fence but have had no luck.

Hello AvidGarlic91198.
Is this official server or unofficial one? and was there any server restart since 1.08?

Hi Geez,

Apologies for not being more specific, it is an official server so there’s been multiple restarts. Also, I’ve found that it not only doesn’t allow me to build some fences that were previously built on 1.07 but if I build a fence on 1.08 and dismantle the panels or frame, I am still getting the issue with only then being able to build a platform. Some of my friends on the same server are experiencing the issue as well. The problem mainly arises when I build a fence behind or in front of the original fence, I’ve tested building far away and close but both seem to cause problems.

Same thing happens to me on official when upgrading to sheet metal. I've had to tear down the entire fence and rebuild it.

Hello again.
There have been certain changes to basebuilding features. Currently the building system is much more stricter when it comes to the clipping of the walls. If there has been even a slight clipping on the walls that you have built previously, then the system would not allow you to rebuild the walls/frames now. Which is why we believe these issues appear now upon the 1.08 release.

Geez
