No Snap Point
Sometimes I just am unable to place something, it says no snap point. like once I could only place box or fireplace if I was outside and try to wangle to place it inside, but inside it would not 'take' even though the room was big! And also with walls. For instance right now I just cannot place a wall in a spot where i had a wooden one but since all is stone I now have enough stone and destructed the wood one and trying to place the stone one. Will not snap. Relogged a few times, no result.

BTW how to get rid of something you want to place and it does not work, you can never get it off your hands, cannot do anything, stuck with it?

Sometimes you need to move around to get things to place . Try placing standing in different locations.

Just pressing the hotbar key again will put it away.

The order in which structures are placed can have maddening effects.
Example: Placing railings on a porch... the railings will snap to the porch floor even though they are running into the wall.already in place. But if you come back later and try to replace the wall, the railings obstruct the wall. You have to tear out the railing too.

Another example is trying to replace a wall segment at the junction of regular foundations on one side and ceiling on pillar on the other... the ceilings on pillars are slightly higher than the foundations and can make replacing a wall a nightmare.

When trying to replace a wall, you have no control over what it is trying to snap too. Is it trying to snap down from the wall above? is it trying to snap inline with the wall next to it? is it tring to snap up from the floor? Maybe its' trying to snap aligned with that pillar in the next space.

Further... WHERE you are standing can have an effect on how a piece wants to snap.

Sucks doesn't it.

You should watch either Phlinger Phoo's soloing the ark series (great tutorial)


Or GG Fizz or Aaron Longstaff both are vanilla builders.
