(Bug) concrete or brick foundations not completing

Postby RE4PER » Sat Oct 17, 2015 4:25 pm

Hi guys. I've recently started play PA again, but my progress has been halted less then a minute into the first game. When I lay down concrete or brick foundations, a red marker always appears saying requires entrance? The builders will lay down a bit of groundwork, build a wall and then leave it. When I demolish a hole in the wall it continues to say this? I have also tried building the foundations in two separate parts (one wall first and the rest next to it) but the same issue occurs. Any suggestions?

By entrance they need a door of some sort. Under objects you can find normal doors, staff doors and jail doors. Normal doors everyone can get through, staff is only staff, and jail doors only guards can get through. There is also a double jail door which is extra secure and takes so slots. Place the door on the outside layer of the building and it will finish the rest.

Hope this works for you!

This is a feature, not a bug!

Why don't they change the warning message to the more blatantly obvious "Requires Door"?

It isn't as simple as that. For 4 walls, super basic foundation, yeah, you need a door. You can then remove the door (after foundation finishes, I do not recall if it can be done before completion) and the hole still counts as an entrance.

If you take your 4 wall basic building and add on to it on one of the walls, all you need to do is bust down one of the wall squares and there's the entrance that the new foundation will recognize (note that this is for when the new foundation does not overlap onto the existing wall, but is adjacent to it; if the new foundation overlaps a wall or portion of a wall on an existing foundation, that wall or portion of a wall will be demolished, which will count for the new entrance to the new foundation).
