tarp shelter bug?

[FusionAP]

spent way too much time finding the one piece of tarp i needed, then when I finally got a shelter kit down and the materials added, it would go through the build animation, then nothing. moved the kit somewhere nearby and it worked, so i tore it down to try it again at the original spot. except it only gave me back 3 tarps and 3 long sticks instead of 4 of each. this has to be a bug, and is extremely frustrating since I spent so much time finding that tarp, which I actually traded with another player for. anyone else experience this?

thats intended to lose some materials when u tear something down.
what shouldnt happen, like u described, is deploying the kit - adding all the stuff for that shelter, just to get the canceled build animation. why let us deploy the kit in the first place, if we cant build it at that spot?
did that happen on stable? cos i had that happen just recently on 1.14 experimental. very frustrating - specially when u collect 58 (!) sticks for the sticky shelter for nothing.

yeah, it happened on 1.13. it actually canceled the build when I initially put it in the second spot too, but it worked when i stepped back a bit. if you run into it again, try doing that as the player body might actually be in the way.

i understand losing some materials, but an entire tarp? honestly, you should just lose everything in the shelter kit instead. it makes a lot more sense that, if you tore down a shelter you'd be cutting the rope and breaking sticks. you're not going to go slashing a tarp up. losing the shelter kit would be completely understandable, rather than something that takes (in my case) hours to acquire.
