Why can't dino and behemoth gates snap to foundation?

I've been building a larger base with 1x lenth of wall rooms as walls so I can have ladders to the ramparts above instead of windows to shoot from.

It's a pain lining the big gates up to the foundations though.

I can't imagine any reason they don't just snap to foundation corners like fences do since fences already show they have working snap points.

they DO however snap to fence foundations... how I line stuff up..

it is a bit of a pain in the arse but eh ARK.

Buld 2 walls, each 7 (?) fundations from each other. Equip behemoth gate. Stand in middle, look down, press K...

The strange thing is that when I push k it suddenly moves the door somewhre else and I can't get a good view.

Here is a trick but it's dumb that I would have to use this trick. Fence foundation can be layed along a walls side parallel to it and then you can snap the gate to that.

It's the best I can do in the weird snapping rules.

Hey if it works it works, nothing stupid about it.

Because since we know foundation has snapping points and we know the big gates do why don't they snap together?

If I had a good reason for this I'd like my workaround.

at the moment, the current ARK building logic is that gates were never intended to be built onto foundationed structures BUT into WALL structures... hence why Gates snap to fence foundations

that being said you can snap fence foundations to foundations. so yeah you can build gates into larger structures.
