For over a month I have been unable to redeed my cloning center. I've moved it three times prior, but it is now stuck in its current location.

The message I get when I try to destroy the structure is:

"Please remove all items from the structure's interior before deleting it."

I had 2 fountains and 4 backpacks in the cloning center. I removed them all, but it still thinks there are objects inside. The CSRs told me to close my ticket because all city structures were bugged and it would be fixed next patch. Well its next patch and my shuttle is fixed, but this is still borked. Anyone else experiencing this? Can anyone on test center do some tests?

As happens all too often with the customer support in this game, the CSR you spoke to doesn't know what he is talking about.

There has been a bug with Cloneing centers for a long time (I presume it still exists) which causes items dropped in the building to teleport to a location somewhere inside the cloneing tube. It seems to happen when you use a /Move command on the furniture to try and position it.

Since you often cannot see the item that has teleported to this location, you cant pick it up.... and since cloneing centers (like all city structures) have no radial commands to control items, you are screwed.

i found the only way to fix this was to explain clarely to a csr that there was an item stuck inside the cloneing tube. The csr located and removed the offending item, and then i was good to go.

It's a pitty that the cloner sufferes this bug.. because it makes it extremely difficult to decorate the building without messing it up.

You're right about the bug - when things move in a Cloning Center, they get sucked to the spot where cloned players appear - but there may be a workaround.

Stand in the tube, look up, and try some /target commands. If you remember what you had in the center, you might get luck. Try /targ travel for the packs (or whatever other kind of pack you had in there). Look at an example of everything that was there elsewhere in town so you're sure you have the name right, then look up in the tube and try /targfountain etc. Be patient.

If you successfully target something, type /pick at the command line. (Make sure you have room in your inventory.) This will grab it from the structure. Rinse and repeat. Just don't /move anything!

Submit a new ticket.

I had this same problem just last week and submitted one and it was fixed very fast. Some of the CSRs don't seem to know what they are talking about. Re-submit til you get one that does or ask fora supervisor.
