So, here are my issues:
1) Can't take screenshots: hitting printscreen & then going to MS Paint to paste it (my normal method) pastes a big black box. (Hitting printscreen outside of the game (as a test) worked fine with pasting to paint).
2) My workers won't build a lot of stuff.
a) I designated several foundations next to each other; the workers built them but there were walls in weird places. To give access, I tried putting a door on the south side of the foundation area; they never built it. (And I did try moving the door such that there were no intersecting walls, just the wall the door was on)
Ascii art picture since I can't screenshot:
_ = wall
| = wall
.. = where I tried to put door (the interior walls went away when they finally built the door (see below), but the color of the floor tiles stayed different, even after I put flooring in.)
Code: Select all
--------------
| || |
| || |
|____||___.._|
^ door placed in correct rotational axis, aligned with this wall, over top of the wall square. They never build it. (The '..' in my ascii art picture is where I put the door. Normal wooden door.)
When I moved the door to the north side of the building, they built it. Whats up with that?
Code: Select all
----------..--

|____||______|
b) I have a power station north of this building. I ran a line down through the building, and they won't build the last peice of it on the south wall.
P = power station
W = water pump
- & | are power lines, except for the rectangle part which is the building.
Code: Select all
P---|

They built all the way to the south edge of the foundation, but won't build the cable that goes underneath the exterior wall of the building on the south side. They did it on the north side no problem (and through the building no problem).
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help, very frustrated here trying to figure this out .
