Can't designate rooms despite meeting requirements

Postby Rheves » Wed Jun 21, 2017 3:59 am

I am trying to make an office, I cannot. It's 4x5, it has a chair, office, desk and filing cabinet. It is indoors. Screen: http://imgur.com/a/OvxPo

I have a similar issue with my holding cell: http://imgur.com/a/9bTVr

The game doesn't list what requirements are missing so I don't have any idea what's wrong with my rooms and no feedback on how to fix it other than the listed requirements I already seem to meet as far as I can tell.

Those are not buildings, those are just four walls around an outside lot.

To designate most rooms, they have to be indoors. To make in indoors area, use the foundation tool. Drag the entire area with it, not just the walls.

I used the foundation tool to go around the perimeter of the prison though, I have to use the foundation tool for any walls inside the greater foundation too? What are the point of walls then if they do not create indoor areas or allow specific rooms to be created?

Again, don't just paint the walls with the foundation tool, that'll just create walls. For an indoor area, you have to drag the tool across the entire area you want to be indoors.
