Cannot Lower Foundations (on raft)

[gioiosomarie]

Hey all. I just loaded my single player game up since the Crystal Isles drop, and can't seem to get my foundation/pillar lowering trick to cooperate . It looks like it wants to, but when i click the mouse, it snaps back level. :( Has anyone else hit this wall, or is it just me? And did you find a solution?

I have the same problem... when I place it, it just pops back to the same height

Just use a single foundation. Place your foundation, then place the Column. now remove/pickup the foundation but leave the column. Now place the foundation next to the column and it will snap to the column height since that is the only structure available to snap to.

You were likely using two foundations and the second foundation keeps snapping to the first foundation instead of the column.

i learned a way of doing it thats sooo easy and hasnt given me trouble at all.

step 1: make a stone fence foundation, a pillar and a stone/metal foundation.
step 2: with the sail turned ON line the fence foundation up with the middle of the raft pointing at the sail mast then walk forward so the mast is going through the 2nd hole on the fence foundation and place it. then u can turn the sail back off.
step 3: put the pillar on the end of the fence foundation in the middle of the raft.
step 4: when u place the stone or metal foundation next to the pillar it should pop in the exact perfect position and height :)
step 5: delete the fence and pillar.

Dude you are a f###ing genius! You should totally do a video on YouTube. Everyone uses the long way method and yours is the best answer! I'm so lucky I ran into this comment!
