Can't paint double conveyor walls [Concrete]

[Bran Dragon]

Hi fellow employees,

I'm trying out the paint option for the first time and apparently I can't paint the double conveyor walls. When I try to paint I think it paints the holes but not the concrete itself. I can paint everything else but not the double conveyor walls.

I tried pointing at the concrete with my helmet touching, removing my lifts, belts, sampling a painted single wall and selecting double from there to try and get the color in

Now i'm left with a grey spot on my painted walls xD https://prnt.sc/_axLIo2Q5lpr

Is this a know bug? and is there a workaround you peeps found?

Thanks a lot :D

Ok LOL definitely a bug, found a double conveyor wall that did take the paint, copied it and put it on the wall where I wanted it: back to grey lol anybody got any idea's on how to fics this?

(and do the devs read these threads? ;))

I just tried it and I was able to paint a single home conveyor wall but not the double or triple. When you point at the double/triple conveyor walls I notice the outline seems to be only the space inside one or the other of the holes as if the only thing I am painting is the empty space and not the wall itself. When I point at the single hole wall the outlines the wall itself not just the hole.

As for the devs reading here. I know one of the community managers does all the time and I am sure if he sees something note wrothy he will pass it along to someone. but its probably better to upload a bug report on the bug tracker.

I found also that if you build the same conveyor hole wall above the one you failed to paint then the paint appears. I think you mentioned that as well but I didnt understand what you were meaning.
but what you build above needs to be identical style conveyor wall for it to work. it might also work building left right or down but I didnt try.

Thanks for the tip on building above. I also had the paint reappear randomly, which was weird, so I just went back to the basic color for now ;)

I hope the community managers see this one then :) Hope they get to fix it.

I never even thought about painting concrete...I guess I thought it was unpaintable like some other materials or something as I never even tried until today. All in all I think I prefer concrete to look like the default concrete.

I've had this happen a few times with "special" walls/elements for no real discernable reason. Sometimes it's because the walls are doubled up, but not always

@Huren I wanted to change the color more because my storage facility was looking like a very bleak factory xD early 50's like lol

@Savarast Doubled up I can understand ^_^ this was even after removing the wall and placing a new one lol

you may have 'double built' ie built 2 in the same place. try deleting it them build it again, if you need to delete it twice that will tell you.

[Huren Ogeko]

I was able to recreate the bug here without double building. I even found a solution to get the color to stick after the bug happens.

[Bran Dragon]

And like I said ;) not double building and even removed the walls to see if I could paint it afterwards ;)

By me too, can only the left "holeframe" from the double conveyor wall, paint. Hope it will be fixed. Also i have flickering on roof (have a red roof and black window at side and the red is flickering through the black)

if you read the posts above you will see this is a visual bug only and the item is painted. you just need to reload or paint above or to the side to make the visual to show up. but it is painted you just cant see it right away.
its a minor bug that likely will get fixed by default when the engine upgrades to ue5 and if it still exists its something they will deal with before 1.0 but after update 8

@Huren Ogeko just noticed it XD Loaded the game and it's painted. Wanted write it here, but you're faster (and the posts above) *g*

The dev stream is in like 30 minutes on twitch. maybe someone can ask them if update 9 engine upgrade will solve this bug.
