Can't Build, Anywhere

[maestro]

For some reason, I can't place a Save Beacon, Signal Booster, Base Computer, or anything anywhere.

It just says "Invalid Position" no matter where I try. I tried reloading, getting in and out of my ship, etc, nothing.

press V to unlock the thing that allow you to place anywhere, i have the same bug and other bugs with the building system since the update.

Hmm. I'll try that, thanks. If I can't place a Signal Booster, I'm kinda bricked on this new save I started last week as you need Artemis Path done to even think about the new content lol

[maestro]

Oh, and NOW it suddenly works for no discernable reason. lol

Having the same issue. Nothing can place properly. Restart the game and it works temporarily where I currently am, but then breaks again if I go anywhere else. Same thing with trying to summon exocraft or pets.

Once it started working for me, it's continued to work.

Probably some intermittent issue hopefully they get it soon.

I confirm that, object snapping is broken. Some place fine, some goes underground thru all the textures. Cant place a sofa in a living module but can place a beacon.

My laptop was under repair a couple of days, and the next NMS launch introduced Worlds Part II with "a new terrain system". Now I can't build anything as everything is in "Invalid position".
Also at a raid mission after a couple of waves of flying teapots it says "Sentinels searching" and I can't see any. No more sentinels - no indicators. Even the wave indicator drops from four to two dots.
This update seems seriously broken after just an hour of play.

I keep having that issue too. The big walker either vanishes or falls through the world. If I just it says 'detected' though but the walker never shows up:(

Quite likely, what fixed it for you was the act of closing the game and re-opening it to perform the fix in the link.

Not saying it is a bad thing to do what's in the link, but it's probably incidental.

I myself never used NGX and have personally observed how closing the game and reopening it fixes the problem, at least for placing exocraft and portable machines.

I couldn't build at any point since the update, so many days and many restarts of the program. Also never used NGX, it was installed automatically, i didn't even know it existed until i looked.

Huh. I was misunderstanding what "NGX" was myself, until I looked it up just now.

I was assuming that "NGX" was the "Nvidia Game Experience" which is that stupid bloatware they try to ship with your graphics driver that you have to manually tell it NOT to install that likes to automatically screw with your graphics settings even when you don't ask it to.

But apparently it's some kind of AI BS?

Oi.

I'm going to assume that my card (a 3050) is too old to run that, and so it's disabled by default? That or my graphics drivers (which I only update when I *NEED* to) simply don't have NGX because it's a new thing?

It doesn't cause issues for some people. The easiest way to check is just to go to the folder location and see if it's there. no-one chose to install it and it installed without doing a driver update. You wouldn't know if you have it unless you go look at that location.

Didnt have problems with start-up but could not build without free placement since worlds 2 update. Worked for me.
