Can't finish Bab's house

[foreground noise]

I've completed the blueprint within the boundaries of the town (as evidenced by the pump room to the left and the forge far to the right), but am unable to write Bab's name on the sign. This is the second time I've placed the blueprint and built the house, so I don't think it's a location issue. Here's a screenshot I took to show the location: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2142124431

Is it too small? I think I had this issue, I can't remember how I fixed it though.

No its a blueprint - you have to built it to the exact dimensions, using the precise materials it says.

If you can't assign Bab's name then it means the room doesn't entirely fit within the base boundaries. Even if the floor space does, the wall might not - whole thing has to fit. The room must be assigned to Babs to clear the quest, meaning it must be entirely inside the base. Can't assign rooms outside or hanging over the border.

Also, those three buildings are in the worst location possible - monsters mobs attack from that side, and they're going to spawn right about where you've put Bab's room, meaning they'll demolish it almost immediately (and they'll wipe out that Gladiolus forcing you to fetch another.) Really shouldn't build any further east than the rock you're standing on in the photo. (And with the hammer upgrade, consider adding more Umber Blocks to thicken the wall and provide even better defense.)

If I were you, I'd move all three rooms west, to the other side of that rock, just south of the Copper Bar. Khrumbul-dun is a very tight fit: you're asked to make a lot of rooms in a very small space; go to second story for the Forge, Pumping Station, etc if needed. You should make Bab's room first to be sure you clear the quest.

Babs house is not a blueprint

What!? Why would you say that?

After making the Pumping Station, Serge gives you the request for a dressing room for Babs, builder dreams up the "Bab's Bedroom" blueprint to follow, and you're granted the Dressing Table recipe to finish it off. And he tells you you need to go fetch a Gladiolus but use your Gloves instead of Hammer - because the Gladiolus is part of the blueprint. (People probably wouldn't include one if they didn't have to follow a blueprint.)

Not my video, but demonstrates what I just said:

I've beaten the game start-to-finish five times. And in all five of mine its a blueprint. Video above shows it to be a blueprint. And the TC has made the room exactly as shown in blueprint, so they've either used a blueprint too or exactly copied the layout from a photo/video of someone else who has. (But as you can't make or find a Dressing Table on Khrumbul-dun until these events, its impossible to construct the room as shown in TC's photo any earlier, so why wouldn't someone use the blueprint if they own it rather than using someone else's photo.)

Where is the proof that its NOT a blueprint? Are you using a hacked/pirated game or something? If you're misremembering, the Builderpedia's Blueprints section should have it listed if you've reached this point in the game.

Exactly. I just went to grab a similar screenshot from my PS4.

But thanks SapphireStallion - a PC version screenshot is more definitive here than a PS4 screenshot. Game content is nearly identical between versions, so I'd have been shocked if PC didn't give you a blueprint here (especially with moon haunter's image exactly following the layout)

I think the part of the house is located outside of the city, so you can't write name on the sign. You need to rebuild the house, and you need to check every side of the house are inside the city!

The house boundary issue is why I built it next to the pump station and (off screen, but it's there) the forge. Is there any way to tell where the town's boundaries are? Really not wanting to tear it down again.

The gratitude meter disappears when you leave the town borders the music usually changes and Malroth run to be with you from wherever he was too.

You have the blueprint placed outside of the city. Use gloves to carry the flower to a safe spot, mine out what you built (except the copper/silver bars). Then place it next to the copper bar.
