    SERVER NAME: n/a
    SEED-ID: 544717

    If applicable:
    MODIFIED PLAYFIELDS: no

    Reproducibility: Always (on affected save)
    Severity: Major

    Type: Terrain Placables

    Summary: Terrain placables not placable in certain areas

    Description:
    In the attached save game, terrain placables are not placable in certain areas around the start area (including, but not restricted to, the area around the front half of the base, and one of the back corners). Additionally, some items cannot be picked up in these areas (dropped items, pickable deco, etc.). Starting in a new game with the same seed and start options, this does not occur.


    Possibly related to this, the fridge and upper boxes in the first room (as you go in the door) in the base are inaccessible from the floor, and can only be accessed when looking at it straight-on (or within a relatively shallow angle vertically). Again, this does not occur in a new game with the same seed and start options. Note, though, that this particular part of the issue was observed in a prior game, possibly in build 3435, and has not occurred again until now.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Copy the attached save game to your games folder and load it in singleplayer or coop.
    2. Obtain any terrain placable, and attempt to place it in various areas around the base and generally in the start area away from the base.
    3. Observe that, in some areas, a red box appears around the placable to indicate it cannot be placed or no box appears at all.
    4. Go inside base, and attempt to access items in upper containers from floor and observe that these containers cannot be accessed.
    5. Jump while facing directly forward to access the containers, and observe that they can now be accessed.

    Screenshots, Crash Logs, any other Relevant Information or Download links:
    • Issue reproducable with affected save game whether started in singleplayer or coop on two separate systems.
    • Issue experienced by both players in coop game (myself and @elmo)

    Been seeing this a lot lately. Even caught it on stream twice today. Just shot about 3 blasts of a plasma blaster at it and they got rid of whatever it was. It has to be some invisible plant or NPC spawner. Funning thing is the di command cannot see it. I would add my save game to this thread but it's project Eden. If I catch it in a non modified playfield I will send you guys a save game and log file.

    In some areas, especially in the Crash Zone, you may encounter invisible 'growing Eggplants'. A report for this exists already. They appear to have a rather large area of effect where you can't place Devices on the Ground. On the other Hand, you may be able to place them but when you want to access, i.e., the Portable Constructor, the AOE of the Plants prevents you from doing so and shows a white instead of a Yellow/red visor.

    I removed them by harvesting them with the Survival Tool which shows them as ->
