Summary0000687: [3.718] Cannot place structures/turrets while paused or resources out.
DescriptionGrabbing 3.718 I started up a new game and as I do, I paused the game to build my initial defences.

Except I couldn't build anything. Everything behaves as normal, the 'plop' sound effect plays, the structure displays on my mouse cursor as it should, if I hold shift, the structure stays on the cursor for me to build more, without shift it goes away after clicking to place.

I then unpaused the game and everything worked fine.

This bug is more really, really annoying then game breaking but I'm going to be hitting it all the time due to my playstyle and it's new to this version too.

As odd as this is, could someone else please confirm they are seeing this?

I tested both in a new game and a save from a game I started in 3.717 and it happened with Energy Reactors Mk I, Science Labs Mk I, Tractor Turrets and Basic turrets Mk I. I didn't test everything, but every structure I did test displayed this bug.

(Edit) More details as follows:

With the game running, I'm trying to build more turrets but with my crystal bottomed out and running a large negative crystal income I cannot place anymore turrets with the same behavior as my opening post.

Note that it happens more with the large negative income. With a negative income hitting -2000 I couldn't build a thing at all. With my negative income only -100 or -200 (or so) I could usually build my structure.

I would keel over if I couldn't build while paused; I'll get right on it ;)

I can confirm it happens -- annoying as heck, for sure. Not sure what is up with that.

Possibly it instantly dies because of an inability to start self-building? Not sure.

Well, looks like it is tied to resources somehow.

With the game running, I'm trying to build more turrets but with my crystal bottomed out and running a large negative crystal income I cannot place anymore turrets with the same behavior as my opening post.

Note that it happens more with the large negative income. With a negative income hitting -2000 I couldn't build a thing at all. With my negative income only -100 or -200 (or so) I could usually build my structure.

Note that with my crystal bottomed out, only structures that require crystal display this.

Edit: I can still build basic turrets and sniper turrets without issue because I still have 40k metal in reserve and those structures cost 0 crystal.

Do you have enough energy for them?

I've seen the behavior with a completely fresh start placing a single tractor turret; I'm on it.

Yes, I have 40k free energy at the moment.

As per my edit to my previous post, it's got to be resource related somehow.

Keith and I tag-teamed this, and it is now fixed.
