Can not build in base

[Due]

I will try and describe my problem as short and simple as possible:

I'm in my base building, having a good ol' time. I fly off or teleport somewhere and do stuff. I fly or teleport back and now I can not build in my base area anymore. I have to quit to title menu and enter my save to be able to build.

My base is on an island, I have parts between the base computer and buildings (extend the area), and I have also moved the base computer.

Do anyone know what is up with that?
Thanks

Normally, when I read this, the player had two bases that overlap.

I only have one.
I tried to build a new base computer the first time I noticed this, but I was not allowed to place it because of existing base.

It's a bug that has been in the game for years. Sometimes the extended area of bases doesn't register when you return to them. Saving and then reloading while at the base fixes it (until it happens again).

I saw this during Cursed {last time i built a base}. Basically it was not letting me snap stuff together like buildings or foundations etc ... let me build just nothing wanted to snap. Probably the first time I saw that {as a perma-novice builder}, but a reload worked.

Ok. Thank you guys. If this is a bug I guess I can not do much about it.

Yeah, this is why I stopped working on my settlement expansion... most times I would go there to build stuff then the nearby base radius wasn't extending into the settlement correctly...

I just have a standard procedure of saving then reloading whenever I'm going to work on a base. I do it without even checking if I need to, at this point. It's just faster to save/reload then to head to the base radius to check if I even need to.

Also check you haven't hit V and stopped snapping, or at least screwed it up. I will categorically deny having done this in the past, and probably in the future.
