beta_grumm 16 Posted September 30, 2019 - PC version 1.05 - Official Public server, 1st person view. (I've heard these are difference hives than the 1st/3rd person view servers) With pristine shovel in hand, I see the option to left click to select a placement for the garden plot. I left click, and see a gray transparent image of the garden plot. I move it around to position. I left click to place, the gray image disappears and nothing happens. No garden plot is placed. Same thing for a fire place. I have it in my hands, go through the same process, click to place and nothing happens. Is this functionality disabled on some servers? Is this a bug? Am I doing something unintuitively wrong? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beta_grumm 16 Posted September 30, 2019 Interesting. I'll give that a try. Usually the UI specifies to hold if it is required. I don't think it does specify that for this action, (I remember checking for that) but I'll try again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there is the slightest bump/slope it won't place. (Vanilla) You could use the place everywhere mod. But im not sure since i dont do mods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beta_grumm 16 Posted October 1, 2019 Confirmed. You guys are right. I was confused by two things: 1. I had read online that it could be placed anywhere and I hadn't noticed that placeables have two states: gray, and white. 2. After you left click the first time, there is an option to "Click to choose placement". Since I had technically never positioned it over a valid area, I never saw the "Click and hold to place" option and assumed everything was valid and all I had to do was "Click to choose placement" Quote If there is the slightest bump/slope it won't place. This is very true. It's actually quite picky. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
