Captain Jack Shadow 488 Posted January 2, 2019 So a foundation can't clip into the ground? Uhmmm...they always clip into the ground. So how much can't they? I mean, the top of this one clears the ground. Wait...I guess they can. No, I guess not....but wait... It CAN...and it can't...those empty spots are empty for a reason. How about a wall? Can it clip into the terrain? It CAN!!! Wait...no, it can't. What about the foundations finishing into an existing Behemoth gate, to complete close off the structure so the bad guys can't get in and kill the tames? Surely this will work, right? No! So wait, what about a ceiling? No dice! You know, as I look at the picture below, I realize that games should be fun, and challenging... ...not frustrating. There is no reason to prevent the basic structures from clipping into the terrain, or other structures. Containers, and crafting stations, beds, etc...yeah, I get why those should not, but this is just beyond ridiculous. If this just has to be, then alter the way you do the S+ mod inclusion. Use the S+ TEK shield as an example. It can't be picked up when it is damaged...even one point, but it can be picked up anytime it is not, and done so with a point and click tool for reaching the high stuff. Do the same here, so when you learn 80 to 90% into the build that the terrain there is fubar, you can pick everything up and start over someplace else. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Jack Shadow 488 Posted January 3, 2019 Does anyone know of any reason why they shouldn't allow for clipping of building structures? We need to understand that building structures are different than things such as beds, supply containers, mounted weapons, crafting stations, etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talono 434 Posted January 3, 2019 I agree, it works in Conan Exiles and gives nice possibilities for building, closing cave entrances and so on. In Atlas buildings must stand free of the mesh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dorf 73 Posted January 3, 2019 I cant wait till modding takes off. It's like they went back in time 4 years. I just started building, significantly, today and I'm missing basic things like ramps. EA is the real stuggle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can cycle different types for most of the building blocks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dorf 73 Posted January 3, 2019 I tried a roof. It wouldnt snap to my floor. So I snapped it to a railing and removed the railing and poof it broke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hit T when you have the roof placement active and change it to a ramp. I just check, the ramp will snap to floors but the roof itself doesn't.

I'm familiar with the t function but it wasnt working for me when I tried earlier. It might be the landscape causing issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As the OP was talking about, there is some serious strangeness with what causes placement block and what doesn't. Not really surprise, the exact same was also true in Ark. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesnt show it well but it was right before the small gate doors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found placing a lot of items; especially foundations and ramps, goes much better in 1st person view, sometimes nothing you do in 3rd person will get it to snap in place but soon as you scroll into 1st person snaps in insrantly.

Have you tried removing the railings and placing the ramp/stairs first? Other than that I can't think of any reason it wouldn't snap based on that picture. You can also try hitting Q, which cycles the available snap points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
