Foundations not stacking anymore?
What kind of logic did Wildcard use to remove ability to stack foundations and which mode can I use to fix their flawed logic?
Funny thing is, I think I might have used this mod back in the day, which allowed me for a lot more freedom with foundations.

Foundations could never stack on official, only on unofficial through the use of a mod.

Huh? I used to run a server with vanilla building, foundations staked... I thought that was removed to a dress the dupping issue..

Are you talking about "stacking" foundations, or "raising and lowering" foundations?
Stacking foundations comes from a mod. It builds up foundations full height at a time.
Raising and lowering foundations through the use of temp pillar and ceiling snap points shifts them just a little - useful for hiding beds, embedding storage boxes etc.

Im speaking of the inventory. Is the op talking about building foundations on top of each other?

The first large base I build, about a year ago. I had a lot of trouble with fence foundation, making walls look ugly and uneven. Ended up using foundations to keep the walls even to one another. Had to stack them underneath one another in some situations.

At that time you could have a foundation hang out in the air in similar fashion to ceilings. A year worth of break later and I seem to have to rely on mods in order to get a decently looking base up and running.

I have played this game since nearly day one and foundations could never be stacked on top of one another when placing them

^ This. Vanilla foundations never stacked on top of each other, only with mods.

You are actually correct, it was my mistake. I used a no collision mod two years ago, found it by accidental checking my mods subscription. Going to try setting server to use "bDisableStructurePlacementCollision=true" and see if I can achieve the same effect.

I know what he's talking about, he's talking about fence foundations. Yes, those can be stacked if you were trying to even out walls. The other foundations are not stackable. Just the Fence Foundations if you're playing official or without any mods.

Nope, talking about foundation stacking using pillar + ceiling trick. But this mod makes it much easier. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=854186603&searchtext=foundation+no+ground+or+snap+point
