I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I ran out far enough from any cities to where I could place a deed for a wind generator. When I try to use it, I get the error "You cannot use this in your current state". Does anyone know what this means?

Thanks!

If you keep trying to place it in that spot, you'll get that message again and again, and then it'll pop up "Can'tBuild Here" eventually. For some reason it says that, but it really means you can't put the building down.

There are places on the map that you can't build on, even if you're outside the 1km range of a city. You'll have to look for a new location with high concentration to put it.

Next time you are ready to place one, first make sure you wait a few seconds after stopping to make sure it doesn't think you are still moving.

Then if you can't build in that spot, try moving around a bit. Check your overhead and overlay maps for anything else that might be nearby (POIs, etc). Eventually you'll find a place to put it taht hopefully isn't too far from you high concentration spot.

Stand VERY still for about 30 seconds.

It means you were moving, and the computer thinks you are still moving.

Although, combat, and swimming are also states, I think they get their own messages.
