Terrain cannot be deformed here!

[BlackThumb]

Notice how Giant's is keeping quiet on this (and other major bugs)?

Easy explanation, they don't have a clue what's doing it, and as I have said previously, they're hoping that the modding community will find a fix which Giants can then implement as an 'update' and make it look like Giant's actually fixed the problem/bug....

Way to go Giants to save money, bugger the players, it's all about the $$$$ in the end.

Cheers

It's better to use the terrain tools to flatten an area of land before placing buildings. It's more predictable and sometimes (not always) fixes the terrain error message. I found field 15 in Meadow Grove, which would have been great for a grain silo, wouldn't allow anything to go in, despite being a plain grass meadow that was fairly flat at the top near the dairy farm.

Jeez enough or the Giants bashing it's getting boring.

NO! Clearly people are fed up with them and they are getting mad. Giants haven't done ANYTHING on this topic, multiple times I have talked about this subject and not a single member of giants have commented on it.

The quoted comment was from November 2018, just after launch.

How long does this problem exist if I may ask

[mcatalyst]

I had to go through the testers to find this issue with Willamina Forest 1.0.0.0.

Turns out that the editor which creates the painted tip collisions through the map script is saving to mapUS.i3d.plcColMap.grle and the game uses mapUS.i3d.plcMap.grle for the tip collisions.

So if a map is based off Ravenport for instance. The game is using all the roads and rock tip collisions that currently exist in Ravenport which in no way looks like what was just painted for the new map. The only way to fix it is by manually renaming the file. Most modders didn't know that in the beginning and there may still be some that still don't.

Sculpting the land and Placeables can't touch tip collision lands so even if there is nothing there like a tree stump you still can't use it.

Pretty big bug in the editor in my opinion when its possible to have the wrong tip collisions just because the editor script doesn't know where to save the file correctly.

Uhmmm I have no idea what what most of the above really are .. but .. can u like create a mod or something that will fix for all players ?

No, the map would have to be updated and a new game would have to be made for console players IF the issue I mentioned is the same as the original issue on this thread. Otherwise the only other thing that would stop a Placeable is some other object being in the way. For instance an underground tree stump which console players can't see. There may be a bug in the Placeable system with the adding/removing/saving/loading situation that others have mentioned here but I have not experienced it myself.

Oh okay .. thanx alot tho lol ... but I really dont know what to do .. my map is like so cool and I worked long on it .. but yeah it wont change at the specific area ..

Sorry for my grammar mistakes .. Im not so good at english ...

That pi** me off as well, the collision on everything is a joke, even the hard placed roads, every building should me made to place on a hillside, it could be made with a wall on the bottom of objects to be as most barns or buildings from life will look nothing in reality is flat
