Problem with placing walls

[Malhavok]

For some reason, the game wont let me place a wall to finish a room. From the screen shot, you can see a noticeable gap. What am I doing wrong?

I assume it's a bug as it happens to me too. But I found that if I place another wall and hover over the connecting corner where the wall exists, and then hit R for rotate, it will rotate the new wall into the empty spot and I can then place it.

you are doing nothing wrong.
There's no way to close the gap.... rotate with R, with the mouse, hover here and where..you have just to wait :-)

It's not a bug, you have to rotate the bottom corner wall into a corner piece, just press right click while holding a wall like you were about to place the last one and you are done. Two walls can not occupy the same tile, the bottom walls occupy the inward tile and would overlap in that corner, so you can't place a second wall there. It used to let you place a wall there and then they would merge into a single corner wall, but that would waste one wall, and if you broke it down you'd only get one item back. I guess the dev decided they didn't like that, or got suggestions from players to do it a different way.

So not sure I followed this on how you spelled it out, but this indeed worked for me..it forced it into a corner piece. Appreciate it

Definately buggy. This is a picture of doing what was mentioned above. This is a 3 wide side, but as you can see, its actually 4 from the front, but inside its only 3

Thank you, brother. I was going crazy trying to fix the gap in my home

finally..after days..sure i'm quite dumb but clicking right button mouse while holding the central button it's very very unusual.

sometimes if you break a corner wall i thinks its there, if you have the build board use the pick axe to break walls icon, over the corner wall and hit the r key, it will change the wall you have highlighted between its different versions

It's not buggy, I'm not sure what you mean here. Walls take up an entire tile and they always occupy the "upwards" side. The bottom interior tiles of a building will be occupied by the walls, while the top outside tiles of a building will be occupied by walls.

IE If you make a 3x3 house, there will only be a 2x2 interior space to place things because the bottom tiles are occupied by walls. This isn't really an issue because the walls occlude what would be in that tile anyway.

This is what I mean, this is a 3 wide building, but when I had to do the trick to get the right bottom wall to click up, it made the front of the building 4 blocks wide. Notice, I cant center the door. You can see the front has 4 and inside only has three. I dont think thats intentional...unless I'm missing something.

It is intentional, that's not a 3 wide building it's a 4 wide building. There is a tile along the bottom left/right walls that you can't walk on because the wall is in the way, but you can put a floor there and it is part of the building. Technically the building occupies 5 tiles wide, that floor workshop right outside the building, you can't move it any closer to the back wall for the same reason you can't fit a 4th bed inside.
