Giants: Please add place anywhere

[redglasses]

So when 100% of your community wants a feature I guess the logical thing to do is not add it

[AndyPandy]

Giants have to be aware of this need, they should just add it, or tweak something for the next patch. It kinda makes alot of other mods unusable too not having it, whats the fun in placing a pallet rack or a tool box in the middle of the yard? !

I recently fired up the Pacific Northwest Map on my PS4, sold off the starting farm buildings and silo. Then annoyingly found I couldn't place any new objects back in the starting farm area because apparently everything "Collides with another Object".

I had the same problem. Luckily for me I only sold off 1 building. Was too scared to sell the others thinking the same thing would happen. Now I know. We definitely need the place anywhere mod on console.

i literally don't even try to build my farmyards anymore because of a lack of this feature. It's so frustrating not being able to place what I want where I want.

The placeables got yard around at the release of the game and I understand the reason: to colour and to change the yard around the new building.
But after the release of Landscaping Tool, no one needs anymore a yard connected to the building. We make the yard before and place after only the building with triggers.
Please, add place anywhere!

And here is a perfect example of why we need place anywhere

[Guil]

Almost certain it's too close to the road.

[Phigo]

Almost certain it's too close to the road.

If that is the case the borders should be Different. That is not really Close to the road and a building on that spot should be allowed.

But I think it could be the tree which collides with that object or maybe it is the path the pedestrians use. Unfortunately we cannot see what creates that collision. Maybe an area where something collides with that object should be red and on sides where nothing collides the mark should be green?

I don't say the last (and only) solution is place anywhere but there are Problems and they Need to be solved.

[redglasses]

Nope I put a smaller thing there that was even closer to the road after, it was that little slurry shop. The problem is that barn right there.

[Rasping rabbit]

If that’s an alien Jim mod is it because the build icon was colliding?

[redglasses]

I've had the icon collide with other stuff, and trust me it wasn't just that building, when I tried to place the slurry shop it was giving me issues as well

[Tylercheesey1986]

And here is a perfect example of why we need place anywhere

100% agree, no way would that collide with anything once built. We need place anywhere in an update, even if it did cause issues with pedestrians walking thru or trees it would be easy to sell and replace a little further away.Imo at the moment we struggle to use many great placeables due to the dreaded "red outline"

[farmerdonnie]

is the place anywhere mod put out by giants ? or a modder ? must be a script issue maybe i dunno

[Guil]

It's a modder.

[Derplodactyl]

This mod has caused me issues in the past, one of which Guil helped me to correct.

From my experienced, when you place sole items too close to others, or when you place things too close to roads, the game can just lock up. It's not common, but its fantastically frustrating.

Whilst I absolutely agree the current system on consoles is a little ridiculous, there must be a reason why it's like it, and going against that may cause issues we aren't aware of. I think, at the very least, the collision zones should be made smaller.
