Can't build on water

[Salty Sonic]

I get it, sometimes this is understandable, and the water is too deep or whatever but... The lake at 88,-424 should work. The foundation height SHOULD by all means allow for it. Game says "nope not ground is water" this really upsets me because i was gonna just let my pals farm out a ton of paldium fragments here, but nope, can't foundation on ground. I mean here's a literal example of why it should work [ibb.co], the foundation bottom is clearly touching the bottom of the water area so theorhetically this should work.

I wish they add so can build water.. I have base near water but cannot build water and enemies can just get inside my base that way even I have walls.

They should do other water stuff too like aquatic plants and diving.. Fishing would be nice too..

is it safe to remove the mod after i build my stuff?

I wouldn't use building mods like this friend.

For the one reason you base can die when the game updates if the mod isn't also updated, not to mention any other unforeseen problems

This mod requires Cheat Engine... Kind of you trying to help others, but Cheat Engine ruined the online of so many games that I refuse to use it. Would be nice to have an alternative.

That's also a good point. Mods can mess up your game when the game gets updated but the mod doesn't, this ruined a build for us in Valheim once. Best to play without mods until the game fully releases, if you care about your current world / save.

There are 2 versions. One is for cheat engine and the other is a standalone version that can be run from anywhere, but it is Steam only. Yes it is an .exe but it works and nothing is sus about it. Mod is updated to the latest version too.

If the game updates and the base explodes/dies, fine. It is 'early access' I much prefer these options to be included in the official release. Hopefully the devs will look at the mod section and implement as many as possible without changing the game drastically.

it's not too likely to crash a game, all it does is remove build restriction, but for all intents and purposes, that item is legit added to that location that you built it. It MIGHT trigger whatever "anti-cheat" features there are, but so can other mods, because I have no idea wat "anti-cheat" actually entails. So I wouldn't use it on anything official.

I did find that one shouldn't rely on the air building when it comes to bases. Pals tend to want to use the lower elevation as pathing when there's 2 different "grounds" available(mid air foundation), which causes them to get stuck trying to go "down" when they can't.

but you can build on lava
