How come lightbulbs don't always work?

[Gwame]

I've placed a bunch of wiring and lightbulbs around the house I built, but only half of the lightbulbs actually switch on. Any ideas?

Some connections don't always work I've found. Make sure all your wire paths are connected and if they are then try multiple different wiring routes to the bulbs that aren't working. It's strange.

i notice wire doesn't connect across logs that are cut down in size.
for example if the roof is elevated on 1/4 logs

So if the foundation is up a custom quarter log height, will behave the same?

I think the wire just doesn't attach to less then full logs. so you can't wire short logs. or stone.

let me wire sticks for patio lanterns tho

Yeah that could be a problem especially for those who like to build sub level between rocks or something. Definitely sounds like the mechanics need a fix or enhancement.

You likely built a blueprint house, correct? If so, take out and place back the wooden beams between the roof leading to your lightbulb; the beams your wires are running on.

It should work afterward. Something to do with blueprint shelters. I had this same problem about a month ago.

My house is built on nothing but full logs. It's not fancy, its square. Not sure why I can't get it going.
