Door problems.

[Valden21]

Started work constructing a new house today. Got the foundation laid, got the front stairs in, got the walls up. BUT...I can't place a door on the wall. I try to place a door in front of the stairs, and it stays red, so I can't place it. This seems to be the case with any of the doors available to me. Why is this happening, and how do I solve it?

use Ctrl+Shift+C, then type "moveobjects true"

this command ignores the building restrictions so you can place objects where you otherwise would not be able to.

do the same to disable it "moveobjects false"

keep in mind that if you hover door placement over other doors/windows they may look like they are in the wall. Just grab the door and place again to fix it.

From the sounds of things the problem is the fact that the game has a 1-tile area at the top and bottom of staircases that are considered part of it and the door is intersecting that.

As Falka said, MOO would be usable to allow it to be placed, but it may be finicky and take a few tries. Be aware though that this can sometimes cause pathing problems when MOO is used to allow traverseable areas such as doors and stairs to intersect.

Would building a porch solve the issue? For instance, what I replaced some of the foundation with deck tiles and set the section of wall that I want for the front door back from that?

placing a door in front of stairs can be tricky.
You need at least 2 free squares between the stair and the door ( 1 for the stair, 1 for the door)
You can use the console to force-place the door but you'll have pathfinding problems.

That'll be it, then. I was trying to put the door right at the top of the stairs. Thanks!
