Can't place golems?

[ZY-CL4P-TP]

I'm having issues with being able to place golems I just crafted. The ground and even player made structures are not counted as a walkable surface for some reason?

I am having the same problem.

Do you have Less Building Placement Restrictions mod installed? I am wondering if it's causing that problem

Ive had the same issue in the past, with some placables too. I play on official pvp server so zero mods.

Are you getting any error messages?

I've seen this same issue. Zero mods installed. But it's like the non-walkable surface thing is very intermittent and I can place him if I can get a click in between the checks.

If I had to guess, I'd say maybe the golems are positioned in the UI just ever so slightly under the mesh, so it thinks the ground you're placing him on is invalid.

That error is caused by something behind them interfering with them. I play with mods and get it all the time when placing thralls. When I went to place my Golem, his rear was hitting the wall behind him, and his left arm was hitting the wall to his left.

I have no mods, and no error messages other than "must place on walkable surface." The golems are just *insanely* difficult to place - they don't seem to consider floors to be a "walkable surface" and I pretty much just have to slide them around on bare, flat ground and *hope* there'll be a square foot somewhere they'll consent to consider "standable."

Single player, mostly default settings, no mods. It happens with iron and stone golems (can't test with crystalline without cheating because I've never found enough parts to completely build one.) I do not have "less building placement restrictions" enabled, and also do not have "ignore stability" enabled. So any building restrictions should be essentially vanilla, barring some weird interaction with x2 resource harvesting and slightly *increasing* the default respawn timers.

The error isn't that the golem is clipping anything - the error for me is that they just are NOT placeable on any constructed floor, foundation or ceiling. And will only barely tolerate being placed on bare flat ground, even if nothing is near them at all. It feels like something is screwed up with the collision box for them when they're in "placeable" mode. Of course, it feels like their hitbox is kind of screwed up just in general - depending on what weapon they're built with, they seem completely unable to attack "reptile" enemies like snakes and crocodiles.
