Barricading windows?

[MMAprodigy]

Can you barricade a pre-made house? I thought you could but it wont let me. I can build a wall with a window, barricade that no problem. But wanted to take over an in game building.

You sure can barricade a window yes... what building are you trying to fortify?

I'm having the same issue trying to barricade a house that already exists in game (POI). Got the materials for barricade (wood and nails) and got a hammer. Select Build mode. Select barricade. Red outline of barricade appears but no matter how i rotate or offset the blueprint it just says "invalid". Tried it on several windows, including those with broken and whole glass. No dice. Just says red. What am I doing wrong?
Another oddity is that the door locks itself whenever I go away from the base. Have to unlock it with a picklock every time. Not sure if thats related.
Have set up various other tool benches, 2 water collectors, a spawn point etc no issue.
Help?

If you can hop onto our Official Discord and provide any images/video of what you're having trouble with we can help you more directly as this seems to be an issue with the window sockets. You are also the second person to inform us of the doors closing and locking in the past 24 hours.

Unfortunately, there really is nothing that can be done in terms of a hotfix right now, Yozza is away on vacation and he's the only one with access to push out fixes, but that doesn't mean we can't work on it while he's away. I can see if MK can take a look at the building sockets in case there's an issue, just need to see an image of the house you're talking about. I'll let Kai know about the door locks and see if we can replicate it :)

For those of you reading in the future and in response to you, again, thank you for posting on the Discord and for providing the pictures. With that one small action, you just allowed us (well, mostly MK) to not only find one house, but several which were missing the window barricade sockets on them. Thank you for that little bit of time you took to help us get to the issue quickly and it will be fixed in the coming hotfix once Yozza returns from vacation :) A community that survives together, thrives together!

Kudos to the devs for being lightning quick to respond to the Discord ticket. Looking forward to the fix!
