I am having a recurring problem where I go into the build menu and whatever I try to build just passes through everything, including the ground. Since it isn’t touching anything it returns a steady ‘can’t build, illegal position’ message. It isn’t every time, more like ‘frequent enough to be really annoying, but infrequent enough that I can’t really isolate what conditions are unique when it happens from when it doesn’t,’ which is annoying in itself. Reported to ZenDesk. As a side note, when Zendesk asks “are there any files HG might need?” the options are basically yes/no. There needs to be a “Lord I hope not cuz I don’t have any” option… ---

This annoying bug has been present since worlds pt 2, I feel your mild irritation 🙂 It also effects exocraft summoning too. I’ve been trying to keep track of what is triggering it, I feel I went a long time without it happening there for a while and then recently it’s been re-ocurring again. Closing the game down seems to fix it but it is pretty annoying alright. It seems to have a few side effects > [@Cannot Delete Base Parts](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/cannot-delete-base-parts/8544): > > Just added some of the new ruins pieces to my main base and found I could not delete them. Then I realized I cannot delete anything. I warped here from the Anomaly so I hope it is the issue and will straighten out when I reload. Will try it in the morning > [@Exocraft Placement Bugs (Worlds 2)](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/exocraft-placement-bugs-worlds-2/8540/4): > > This is also effecting things you place like Signal Boosters and Save Beacons, they phase through the ground and dont adhere to the ground terrain. Luckily you can turn free placement on and have them half buried in the ground or floating in the sky, so still placeable somewhat. The save beacon I placed this way I was unable to delete, recolour or move in the build mode editor, it could be picked up as normal. Edit: Okay it’s all build items, base computers, floors, none of it adhering to su… ---

However, if HG determines they need a file from you, they will email you and give you the step by step directions for finding it. I have had them contact me several times for this. ---
