Can't Remove Rooms

[Schismm]

Was in the process of setting up the Pipe Water Generator but was having some difficulties with the snapping of the pipes.

So I wanted to remove the Stair room and replace it with a regular Room.

The Ship Builder highlights the rooms (a regular room and a stair room) red and won't allow me to remove them, i've tried repairing them, Removing the rooms around them, Adding additional rooms around them but regardless what I do I cannot delete the two rooms shown.

There is no Message such as "Cannot Remove", "Inventory Full", or "Remove Attachments" it just beeps when any attempt is made to remove them.

- build version: V16.0 build #32264

before removing a room, it is necessary to remove all objects and hanging equipment

Also, If you have a multi level ship. I have found some of the plants go thru the floor a little. That can keep you from building or removing rooms below them.

Yea, i made sure the rooms were empty, there is nothing in them, No plants touching them.

Having a similar issue - I can't remove the first room I build anymore - the one where I tag one onto the length of the airship when I first expand it. Also can't add a metal floor to it - I get a UE error every time I try. It's just that one specific room. Deleted the gamesave and tried again and it's the exact same thing in the new game.

Hi, this is an issue we're aware of and are investigating, but it proved very difficult to reproduce. From what we're seeing this mostly happens to catwalks and rooms, but it's possible that this can happen to any airship module.

Hi, I have a similar issue with a catwalk. I cannot delete the catwalk, I have deleted everything surrounding it but it still won't let me delete it. However I am allowed to build a catwalk on the exact same location as the existing one, but when I do that the game crashes.

The dev response above you literally confirmed that it's happening mostly with catwalks and rooms. They're aware of the issue and are trying to fix it.

I just had the same problem: several catwalks couldn't be deleted nor could I build a new room in that location. In my case creating a new catwalk in the same position and then deleting that new catwalk, worked fine.

FYI: I was a guest in a game that was hosted by a friend

Same here with a ladder room. Wanted to start building a lower level. Tried the ladder room first, then wanted to know how a stair room would look instead, but cannot remove the ladder room anymore. It was not the first room in the ship by far, but it was the first one on another level. For me it also was a multiplayer game. I was hosting it, but no one else was in.

This has always been a problem with ladder and stair rooms that are completely surrounded by other rooms. The game does not recognize the stairs/ladder themselves or the little glass platform as part of the actual room structure, but if the module is surrounded by other rooms then there is nothing else to hover over to be able to get the build tool to recognize the room you want to delete.

The only solution is to delete every single room that touches it, that includes any rooms on top of or beneath it. That will force the game to to put it back to it's default state of having the full frame with the Xs. Then you'll be able to select that frame to delete the room. If you aren't seeing the full frame with the Xs then you haven't deleted all the other rooms around it yet and you'll never be able to select it with the build tool.
