Placement Bug Temporary Fix

[infektedsyringe]

So I've been running into a bug, in the beta, where sometimes I can't place anything (seeds, machines, etc). So there is my bug report... and here is my fix for people running into this issue.

Step 1) Go into house
Step 2) Exit house and viola

This has worked for me, but I don't own every computer on the planet, so your mileage may vary.

same here

Yep, same here. I'm sure they're aware of it. I sent in a in-game report as well just in case they check those.

I was having this problem as well. Putting it in a chest, going out of the chest and back in would also sometimes work.

I wonder if this bug is also stopping my hoe from working? I got it upgraded at the blacksmiths, and now it won't show the tile markers for where it's going to hit let alone actually do anything when I use it. The animation plays, but that's it.

Yes, it is preventing tool use and placing machines, and the cause is using fast travel or making offerings to the shrines. Just go in and out of a building to fix it.

Devs are aware.

So I actually discover what seems to make this glitch happen. I actually play on PS5 and was looking for a fix to this unfortunately it seemed like moving the mouse for PC players fix this issue but on a console we don’t have that option. But what seems to cause this issue is when looking in storage boxes or in your inventory. Depending where the curser/pointer finger is when you exit from your inventory or box it’ll depend how off your placement is. So for example if your curser is on the “auto” selection for organization when looking in a box that’s where your placement will be! So my recommendation is when you’re looking in a box make sure your curser is on the “backpack” section, first row, 7th box when exiting. Hope that makes sense and this helps any console players who google and end up here lol even PC players
