I can't explain the frustration of taking the time to painstakingly layout fence and watchtower kits perfectly, only to NOT be able to build what I've laid out. No intersections, no overlaps. Every kit was placed legitimately. Everything is square and flush. And yet, I can't build. I was only able to post out one of the watchtowers I laid down, out of 5 in total. They just don't want to build for seemingly no apparent reason. What's worse is that I took the time to cut down and attach the logs and everything. Why even bother letting me put the fence kits down in the first place if it just wasn't gonna let me build? I built this EXACT build before the new update no problems. This is infuriating please fix this ASAP!!!

I built this EXACT build before the new update no problems
Hello kpxcreate.
The system is now much more strict in regards to various clipping issues and nearby structures, therefore some builds will not be viable as of now.

@Geez, I think the problem is that the game lets you deploy fence kits and build the base out of the wooden logs, but you won't find out that you can't construct anything further until after you've already started.

The problem is twofold.
First, The game doesn't tell you that you're not going to be able to build until after you've already placed your fence kits, placed the wooden logs inside of the fence kits, built the posts up, damaged your shovel, and by the time it's all up you realize that You're not going to be able to build what you've just laid out, you've already wasted loads of valuable time. Not to mention, you also recover less resources when dismantling. Not only that, but it takes like twice as long to take down a fence kit. So building has now become a headache.
Secondly, clipping issues are not coming into play here. As I mentioned in my original post, we took the time to perfectly lay everything out, making sure nothing was overlapping or intersecting. This build is as straight and square as you could possibly make it. We literally spent the better part of 2 hours making sure this was the case. So, while I'm aware that the building system is a bit different, still, for no apparent reason it seems to not work as intended. And it's ridiculous to say that clipping is the issue because I've seen people build gates inside of houses and locations where it clips right through stuff. There is nothing visually impeding me from building this.

I've had this happen to me, incredibly annoying and there is next to no reason as to why they added this to the game.

This bug is really a problem. FIX ASAP. I would not consider this an improvement. I've now REBUILT my base 100 times and wasted SOOOOOOOOOO much time trying to get shit to build. PUT ME OUT OF MY FUCKING MISERY
