So I just made a structure factory, and I can't place it anywhere, even in open spaces!

Is there something I need to do further to place it?

HELP!

I know it seems weird but oddly enough the structure factory is the most difficult structure to place in the game. You need to have perfectly flat land to place on or it just won't work. I wanted to put mine as close to my shop as possible and when another player moved a PA Hall he had nearby I thought this was my chance. Surely a structure factory could go anywhere a PA Hall could right? Wrong. Now my structure factory is about 600 meters away from my shop because it was the only suitable spot. =(

Structure factories take 2 lots rather than 1 like other factories so if you're used to using other factories then this might be a gotcha. Also, are there any MOB spawns anywhere in teh vicinity?

I occasionally run into the "you can't place a structure in your current state" (or whatever) error message that I can't figure out but it goes away in a while. Might just be nearby MOBs but I"m not sure.
