Bug: Sand bags preventing structure placement?

[Curo]

I have a small base partially surrounded by sand bags. I can place structures outside the base, even near the sandbags, but not inside the base anywhere. There is more than enough space to place structures in the base, as far as I can tell. Image

yea that seems like a bug.

 

I was going to say it might be the grass tufts in there but then i saw that you were just trying to place a small sign.

 

that shouldnt be happening.

So I've been looking a little further into it. Doesn't seem to be a sand bag issue, but a hitbox issue in general. I first noticed it when I couldn't place a sand bag on clear land. After removing all my sand bags, I still can't place a crock pot anywhere near anything else.

In this picture, I'm trying to place a crock pot somewhere that would normally be fine. I could place it a bit farther up/right, but not where I was trying, or any closer to my first crock pot.

That being said, I was able to place another chest (you can see it next to my character) with no problem. I've so far encountered the placement issue with: sand bag, chimnea, crock pot, and sign.

Reloading the game fixed this issue for me. I was having problems placing a Palm Shelter in a spot that would usually be fine. After reloading it let me place it where it was previously not allowing me.

 

Somewhat related to this, if you hammer down a structure, such as an Alchemy Machine for example, it sometimes won't let you place anything where that structure used to be. Again, reloading fixes this.

I've had this issue before, not just in SW but in RoG as well, almost always during the rainy season. I'm glad to know reloading fixes it! But I hope the devs can fix it for both DLCs.

I've had this issue as well.  For me, it included drying racks, sandbags, and planting jungle trees.  With the jungle tree, I was trying to plant a replacement for one that I had chopped down and dug up the stump.
