Can't Place An Outpost Hab

[zapow]

I'm working on placing a new outpost but for some reason I can't place a hab. I'm not is a restricted area since I was able to place a beacon and other things like mining, power, etc. When I try to build a hab it places like normal but then when I try to build other items like an airlock the hab vanishes. This also happens wlth any hab related building.

Has anyone else had this happen or know why it is happening?

Are you on a habitable planet? Perhaps there's an animal in the way? Or it could be an NPC.

Outpost building is very finicky. Anything from a rock to a plant can hamper or impede. It's not Conan Exiles bad where you can build an entire base or building and not be able to slot the last piece bad.

But it's not good.

You just have to keep moving your hab until you find the right place. if you can, I recommend building your habs high as you can. Plants and rocks will clip through later on if you give them the chance. The game says their gone when you place the hab, but they will be back.

I stopped buiilding outposts but when I last did, I built the Landing Pad (big round) at a suitable height and then built an Airlock as close as I could (so that the ladder clipped gone) Then just built the Habs off that. Didn't always work right, like I said. Its finicky.
