Greenhouse Roof won't snap to Greenhouse Walls...

[BlackDragon]

I'm building a greenhouse! Very nice one, too. I put down Greenhouse Walls all around, and now I just need to put on the roof... except the Sloped Greenhouse Roof pieces absolutely REFUSE to snap to the top of the walls. They keep trying to snap onto the foundation, or even the SIDE of the walls, but NOT the tops where they BELONG. The Triangular Roof pieces work just fine... but not the basic square ones.
I even tried building a staircase up the side in order to position myself better. Didn't help. If I'm high enough up that they can't snap to the foundations, they just turn red and claim there's no snap-points around.
Any idea what's going on, and how I can fix it? It's a huge pain - I worked really hard to gather the crystal needed... :(

You need to begin with a sloped left or right Wall on one end... sloped roofs want to snap on the sides.

[BlackDragon]

Huh. So they can't snap to triangular roof-pieces at all? That would make the stylish design I came up with (2x3 square foundations with 3 triangular foundations at each end) effectively impossible... >.< Maybe I can finagle it by placing a sloped piece and then going from there, then REMOVING the sloped piece...

[BlackDragon]

Well, that KIND of worked... which is what makes it particularly maddening.

Build a wall, sloped wall on top, use that as a snap-point and stick up the sloped roof bits, then demolish the wall-pieces. Result: SOMETIMES the roof stays put. Sometimes it immediately shatters. I cannot for the life of me figure out WHY. I do the exact same thing over and over, and on occasion, it works - mostly, it doesn't.

Clearly, the game has some kind of 'load-bearing' mechanic, but it's just as clearly rather illogical and inconsistent... does anyone have any insights?

Do you use S+? S+ has better pieces that fit correctly but even if you didn't want to use the S+ pieces, the mod still also has Demo Gun that may help you remove pieces without causing other pieces to break. The Demo gun can also reclaim pieces without breaking them so you can place them again if you need to. It works on vanilla WC made pieces too.

S+? I assume that means Survival Plus? I've seen it mentioned, but I thought it was a low-tech Total Conversion or something like that...

That Demo Gun sounds like just the thing for my construction-projects, though...

EDIT: I just got it! You're talking about Structure Plus, right? Looks brilliant - definitely getting it! (Though I AM a bit concerned about how it'll interact with the big-stacks mod I'm running...)

[crimsondrac]

Yeah, Structures Plus. It is a fantastic mod. I probably would have quit playing a long time ago if this mod didn't exist. It is a great Quality of life mod. S+ does not have any stacking built into it so it should not interfere at all.

Wont hurt or be hurt by stack mods at all.

Just be aware... once you start using a structure mod... you cannot remove it or you will lose everything you've made from it.

Having said that... s+ is *the* best imo... coupled with Automated Ark for even better PvE experience.
