Can't move placed buildings

[lilderrel]

I placed the farm and it was too high. Now I have this gap on it and I can't move the building. I was able to move the Huts and not the farm. Can anyone else move these buildings?

Nope. There are certain buildings and other placeables that have a note in the bottom left of the screen that says they can't be moved or removed once placed.

I must have missed that note. Since I was able to move the hut I just assumed I could move all the buildings.

Yeah I actually would have missed it too if I hadn't been studying screenshots from their presentation video last night.

I get why they don't allow it for the colossal trees given they trigger biome level changes to the world. But I feel like the buildings placed within the range of the village marker aren't as big a deal. Perhaps they don't want issues if a production/refining building is doing something when someone tries to move it.

A friend also encountered a problem where they can't build anymore because the game allowed them to place their mining village between a cliff and water with some space around, but for some reason that has made it so they can't add ANY more buildings at all and have had to completely restart the game and make a new save as they essentially soft-locked themselves.

If you're willing to get me your save file and email me that save file I can get you a new mining town marker or see if I can't fix your save. Try foundations to get more build-able area as well.

On PC:

To locate your save files browse to the following folder:

This PC --> Local Disk (usually C:) --> Users --> YOURUSERNAME --> AppData (might be hidden) --> Local --> Towers --> Saved --> SaveGames

The last save you opened should be playersave_#.sav if you sort your folder by date modified. Shooting you a steam friend request if you're interested, send me your save and I can either fix your mining town or get you a new mining town token.

I had the same issue i placed the mining village to a cool spot but can't build it's buldings anywhere near it but if u place down some foundations u will be able to build on top of that! so don't start again ;)

This is good advice and people should try it! Update11 makes foundations even more lack in how you can place them so you should be able to place them in many new areas as well.

Update11 comes out April 30th, fingers crossed.
