Materials consumed when block placement fails due to obstruction
Submitted
When attempting to place a block that is obstructed and therefore cannot be built, the game still removes the required components from the player’s inventory. The block is never actually constructed (only a blueprint/ghost appears or placement fails), and if you delete that blueprint/ghost block, the components are not returned. This results in permanent loss of materials.
Steps to Reproduce
- Start a game and make sure you have enough components in your inventory to build a specific block (e.g., armor block or any other block that can be obstructed).
- Aim at a location where the block cannot be built because of obstruction (e.g., another block is in the way or there isn’t enough space).
- Attempt to weld the block so that the game shows the “cannot build” / obstruction state, but still allows you to weld a blueprint/ghost.
- Observe that:
- Your components are removed from your inventory as if the block was successfully built.
Here is a video to show what is happening.
