I need help, fast..

[VodkaFish 38]

Hi, I am remodeling my base.  I chopped a LOT of wood.  I am in the process of tearing down a 2 story watchtower and I can't remove the top roof.  I have a wood cutter's axe and a hatchet.  Both are in good order, neither work.

I tried youtube.  I saw a guy tear one down.  I think he was playing from PC.  He went to the post opposite the stairs and got the prompt.  I can't get the prompt.

I need to get this done before 50 wood logs and lumber start disappearing.  The watchtower is in the way of my new plans.

I tore one down before at another base, I don't remember having any issues at all.

Any ideas?

oh lawd...   I'll have to go get one then.  I did not see any point to looting one.   I will start wall/watchtower and store the wood in the pre-build.  I think that gets flag protection.

Thanks.

when you decontruct something depending on which tool you use u lose a certain amount of breakage... crowbar gives u the least amount of loss of all the tools for that

Thanks for the replies but I looted a crowbar and it did not solve my problem.  Do the stairs have to be in place to the roof?  I don't think the guy in the video had his stairs up.

This sucks.  😞

Advertising/selling this game as a finished product should be considered CRIMINAL FRAUD.

After rebuilding the tower just so I could tear it down, after a hard reboot of my xbox, after looting for different tools, restarting the game, after hours with my thumb up my ass on the roof waiting for someone to snipe me, after starting  another watchtower just to protect raw resources, I got it.

and do you know what it was?  The second story roof had to be uninstalled at ground level, looking at the ground, nearly in the middle of the watchtower's foot print.  RIDICULOUS.  

Thanks BI.   If you're offering, I'll take that refund.

I'm certain this has happened to 100s before me.  Why arent they helping in the forums? Why don't they share known issues?  Because it might hurt sales?

"stable" update? Rotfl, that's a good one. I had to restart numerous times today because the menu button stopped working. I had to restart several times because i got stuck in walls while going up and down the watchtower stairs. I'm having to open canned foods twice, see a random toon when i log in, customize character work?

6years?

I had to really manipulate my character around in order to finally interact with a 1 story, but you just got to find the sweet spot.....its a pain, but do able.

you need a metal saw to destroy it, anyway you gotta go on the roof and try it there

it's gone now.   I had to be on ground level, looking at the floor, to destroy the roof for the second level.  makes perfect sense.

Ohh that’s hard to figure it out
