    Summary: Invisible blocks interfere with building structure.

    Description: In the base I am building there are invisible and ethereal blocks of some sort that will not allow me to roof over my base. They don't seem to display as an entity or in any lists of structures and they block the placement of anything in the area.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1) I can't say exactly what caused it or when it started happening, but it could be potentially recreated with the same parameters such as the seed and coordinates of the base.
    2)
    3)

    are you trying to build near an Ore deposit or are their rocks/resources on the terrain? That's the only time I've run into not being able to build (or if I forget to turn the shield off on my base).

    For some reason there was a "ghost" resource rock under the location which was blocking you from placing a block in that location.
    We will try to find where the cause of this comes from (I suspect it was to do with you using the changemode command which has a warning with it in v1.8) but for now you can load in to this copy of your save & be able to continue building in this location

    Let me know when you have downloaded it.

    Thank you! I have downloaded it now.

    I had not changed my game mode until I originally noticed the problems and was attempting to fix them so I don't think that would have a factor in the bug, I could of course be mistaken though regardless.

    I've run into similar issues to this with a couple of POIs I've taken over. Adding things like a concrete landing pad extending out from it will occasionally not fill in one of the spaces and no matter what, you can't get anything to go in there. So the pad ends up with a hole in it. There's no visible rock, no visible plant, nothing. The game mode has not been changed either.

    I've had other instances where the hole does have a rock or a plant or something but the game won't acknowledge it's there when trying to harvest it away.
