I cant place blocks even at different positions, and light problems

[aidengreenr]

Nothing is in the way of where I'm placing the blocks but it still wont place. Also not all of the lights function for some reason. even when I turn them on or off some of them wont function, and I had the power supply on. I like the game after all though.

Hi, save with your character placed in front of where you can't place a block and share that save here so me and Veteran players can load to help you find the cause with solution.

Oh and just that world is bugged...

[aidengreenr]

it's like the battery's aren't somehow connected to all of the lights. A screen wont turn on like there's no power. but there are battery's in the bulky first part of the ship.

Looking at your build in that save, if you hit alt-F10 and open the admin menu, select 'entity list' then 'grids' then 'sort by 'distance from players' and look at the bottom of the list to see the closest ones, you can see that the structure is in 3 separate grids. I suspect somehow during the build your mouse pointer was off or something, and not all the blocks were attached together, so that is your problem.

If you place a control panel somewhere you will be able to see what active blocks are on that grid, or in a test copy save you can select and cut/paste each grid to move them apart and see where the disconnects are.

Indeed, Rox is right, your creation is cut in 3 separate parts :

Roof
+
Main grid
+
One armor block detached

I was able to see the problem by aiming at your creation and hit Ctrl+C

and noticed the missing parts on pasting the copy.

Conclusion = Not a Bug


Advice
Make sure you aim at the Main grid floor or wall when you place new blocks so they can "Merge" together properly.

Info +

Also can happen when we delete blocks :

-> The roof detached because you deleted important blocks that were holding it.

=
Mutligrid colliding that prevent you from placing new blocks because a floating grid is in the way.
