Can't get rid of floor rubble

[ROORnNUGZ]

I've read other threads on here and watched videos and I thought I know how to get rid of the floor rubble. I've been removing the old floor and then replacing it. I've managed to get some areas done but others just come back when I replace the floor. I just don't understand. Any tips I'm missing?

Are you trying to remove only damaged blocks and then patch the resulting holes?

You might want to try to remove bigger parts of the floor or the entire floor and rebuild it. To make this faster, use a ceiling shape to patch your hole, then remove the shape (right click with your hammer). This will remove not only the block(s) used to patch the hole but the entire shape. Then rebuild the floor. Repeat these steps until all your floor is brand new again.

The same technique works for walls, roofs, and everything else (except the structures that we cannot build). You can also use it to disassemble buildings to get building blocks (4x4 foundation works great for this).

If the rubble (or weeds) is still not gone (it usually happens in the corners or other intersections) you might need to disassemble all adjacent blocks (e.g. floor, nearby wall sections, columns, etc.) and rebuild them again.

yeah i have been removing larger sections and have gotten some areas cleared. I'll keep messing with this section. I also have some candles that won't go away.

Rubble is a terrain voxel, not a building block. So those little rocks work the same way vines on the walls do. There is probably a single block of terrain just outside of the blocks you're replacing, the can be virtually invisible sometimes so you can try using a larger block and then removing that to clean up the area, just make sure you don't also nuke something you want to keep in the process.

I've run into this kind of issue with so many games that I've made it a point to make sure my foundations are high enough to cover any kind of glitch like that. I like having steps to the entrances anyway.

I have this same issue with rubble. I can get most of it to go away, but not all of it. It's annoying, but I live with it. As for the "floating candles" - I just whack them with a weapon.

Good afternoon, you have a bug with the ghost boss
During the battle with him, my friend and I had to reboot the server 3 times
due to the fact that when you approach him close and drop up to half of the hp, he could teleport into the walls of his dungeon and you can't drag loot from there

Sometimes you need to delete the same section several times. Move your shape around a bit to cover more original blocks. If this fails just disassemble the structure and rebuild it (I had to do this with 1/3 of an overgrown church I was repairing). You can also try using a different material to cover the problematic areas and then delete them (I have not tried it myself, but someone on Youtube suggested it was a valid method for rubble).

Candles (any other objects) that do not show the disassemble option can be destroyed with weapons or pickaxes. I prefer to use hatchets and battle axes for this (they destroy things very fast). If your candles are too high, try a two-handed axe or build some kind of support.

When that happens, make sure you attack them but don't kill them in the wall.. Every once in a while they will teleport to another spot in the room, that will remove them from the wall, then you can kill them.
