Hey all,


I have a deed for a mineral harvester and everytime I try to place it it says "can't build a building here" or "can't place in your current state" (or something like that). What am I doing wrong? I go away from the city limits far after I'm prompted that I am out of the city and place it on level ground. There are no nasty beasts around either. Do I have to have a full acion pool? A special skill? I have eng 2 and suvy 3. What do eath of these messages mean? I've been trying to place for 2 days now....


Thanks!

You need to be on relatively flat area(ie not on hills,crags or POI) make sure ther are no spawns or MOBS around. As for the not in your current state...I think its a delay factor. Wait a few secs and try again.



Surrounded? Hell that's right where we want them!

For the "can't place in your current state" message, try issuing a /stand command before trying to build the harvester. For the "can't build here" message, you have to just keep looking for a place where the harvester is allowed. Areas with yellow diagonal stripes are off limits.

Yellow stripes Ah? Have to try that. I also noticed that the messages are usually close (geographically) together so maybe I am just in a bad area and the program is getting confused.
