Location Obstructed.
Hello, Currently renovating my house ontop of the baseball after sometime away from the game, i can play down walls down without a problem. but i want to place a window-frame but it say's Location Obstructed.

Note i've switched too a doorframe as well as picture will show. But can someone help me figure out what i'm doing wrong here. :|

Best I can figure is that it looks like maybe the roof is interfering with the placement of the window/door frame. May need to delete the roof (and potentially the wall to the left of the window), place the window, then build the roof again.

Sometimes the game can be finicky in that it wants some objects placed before another one when building even though it should be perfectly valid like that. I think I ran into a similar issue on my most recent base I built and doing the above fixed it.

I also just remembered that for my baseball base I had an issue of my staircase from the ground (and the floor attached to it) never properly meshing with the floor built off the baseball. I managed to mostly fix it but if you're working with something similar it could be that the floor and what's on it from one area isn't properly meshing with the other. Just throwing ideas out there, idk for sure.

The same thing is happening with me and placing chest there is nothing wrong the the location like nothing is interfering but still says location obstructed. Note i am in building a tree house on the oak tree so may be support but it has never been an issue

This is a recent issue with the latest patch (or two), and already known to the Devs:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/962130/discussions/0/4358998952356405065/

* You can (usually) tinker around with placement order 'n such to fix the problem, or
* Some percussive maintenance (ie. punch things) has been claimed to work - YMMV
It's crazy, but punch the places where you want to place the chest and see if it helps...
If not, you still got to punch things, so win-win.
there has been a tweet about this couple hours ago, they are aware and working on it
