Unable to place item due to some invisible build barrier.

Ran game, created new build in creative mode on farm land, was able to build okay, however I got this invisible boundary where i was unable to place item, no red box or anything.

Sorry about the random youtube video, I didnt record video for this.

Usually a POI has 2 blocks where you can't build anything because that space is reserved for the flag where you start a quest.

No. I have just started the game, Ive not triggered any POI.

You can build either side of this block np, just one single block, I have been advised on facebook this issue is specific to building on Farmland.

I even used the DM mode DEV digger tool to remove everything and then filled it back in with land filll and the issue persists.

The blocks I mentioned are always there if there is any POI located there, you don't need to trigger it.

If farmland is placed there as a POI then this block would be there. POI doesn't mean there must be a building on it. POI is just a pregenerated collection of blocks that can be placed somewhere like stamps can be placed on an envelope.
But it could be a bug, I just wanted to provide one likely explanation or thing to check for. We'll see, eventually a tester from TFP will look at your issue and comment on it.

From the pics it doesn't show they are in a POI as it just says Pine Forest instead of the POI name, unless they are just one block outside the bounds of a POI.

Is it just that one space you can't place a block, or is it the one below it as well?
 
I'm guessing it may be the buried supplies tutorial quest not active in your quest log? If not, we'd need to know where it was. If you could, remove your mods folder and make a new game save on that same world, go back to it and then see if the same collider exists there. But, we definitely would need to know where this is (could be a poi that isn't a full poi so it's not showing you the name of it, lots of those are used for world gen)
 
I'm having a similar problem. I'm in Navezgane Fire District #3 in the bedroom and there are 2 spaces that won't let me place anything. Is there a way to use edit mode or a dev tool to work around this? In the picture it is one space on top of the other in between the building cubes. It's too deep into the poi to be the quest marker. I've removed surrounding blocks and recalculated stability, but didn't fix it.

Hello All:

After reviewing your image, jdm311, I believe the issue with that spot is due to the plate used as the wall in that area.

With that said, we don't have enough information at the moment for us to further review or reproduce the issues mentioned. If anyone has further information, such as screenshots, logs, POI location information using the (F11 screenshot in-game), please create a new, separate report for those so we can investigate.

Thanks,
Dollie
 
I've run into similar issues in previous alphas - one happening inside a POI house. Destroying blocks on either side let me suddenly place a block that was refusing to be placed, though.
 
On a few occasions I notice something similair, the cause turned out to be a miniscule floating block. Placing a build block on top of it made both collapse and solved the problem.

Yeah, those are easy to not see and prevent any building. If you have destroyed any blocks in the area and find you can't build somewhere, look VERY closely for any specks of block floating in the space. They can be extremely difficult to see at times. Or just destroy blocks around and below it and if there is something there, it will fall and you can build there.

Easy way to find those is just going around with a building block at head height, the change of colour gives the problem away most of the time.
