Double-check that there isn't any tree - or even a small bush - where you are trying to add the middle section. It also has to snap to the pre-placed back or front barn sections. I do not believe it has to be rotated so a specific side fits to either the front or back, but you could try that out.

As far as hunting spots go, the devs have said that animal spawns are random except for the safe zones around the ranch and shops.

I am having the same issue with the back part of the barn. Always red. I can add many middle sections to it but no back section.Appears read. No trees or obstacles around.

Has the ground raised or dropped from the starting side of the build? the buildings want to be at same level, & if ground height changes too much in the area, that may be causing your problem???

Also got the same problem with building my barn.
Got the front, with doors.
But can't place middle section nor back section.
Would not like to tear down the thing, as I will loose all the materials used.

did you put the front on top of foundations???

I'm having the same problem... Have you found any solution to that or did you just rip it down?

Nevermind, I think we figured it out. Looks like you can only have 2 mid sections. If you have more than 2 mid sections it'll let you add even more mid sections but it won't let you add an end

[jpeteq]

You can add as many mid sections as you like. If you're sure the ground is clear, make sure YOU aren't standing in the way. I've had that happen often when I'm trying to build something.

If you're looking for a good place to hunt, drive to the hardware store and carry a cooler with you and run - it's too rough to drive - up the hills between the store and the lake. There are usually 2-4 bears that spawn up there.

I have put foundations down that are wider and longer then the barn I want to build, I then set the front blueprint but it will not let me set middle.....no trees anywhere around. Any help would be nice, this would be my second barn but first one on foundations.

Edit: so i went in and deleted the foundations and now it allows the middles to be placed, on ground....so this must be a bug.

did u try spinning the middle section 180 degrees? it was red for me till i spun it. it may be a middle section but it still has a direction.

If I am right, I did not see any solution to the issues and thanks to my mom I finally was able to finish my barn. And I wanted to quickly share it here with the rest of the farmers here ^^. When you build the front or back of the barn on foundation pieces, you have to build the mid sections on solid ground. Sometimes your farms may look like they float in the air... weird right? RIght... After you finish the barn, you can however place the foundation back including under the mid sections. Just make sure you leave the ones you have placed before out. So that the others will connect right on it. I hope this information will help you all ^^.

I read the comments and did some playing around on my own. Here’s what I’ve found:
The front and back sections both need foundations while the middle sections do not. But to keep things in line I put down foundations until I got the size of barn I wanted. I put on the front section (took up one line of four foundations) and removed the foundations that would have supported the middle sections. The back section likes to have TWO lines of four foundations under it so I left those on the ground. Put up the middle sections and they snapped in easily. I ended up moving the back end up a bit but it finally snapped in once I realized that starting a line at the other end of the barn got my lines crooked so it wouldn’t snap in easily. Set down one long line of foundations to run the side until you reach the end you’d like, leave the last two rows of foundations and remove the rest, then the middles and back should click in easily.

Foundations? Barns don't need foundations
