Rancor Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 VENT: Have industrial forge on 4 ceilings held by pillars. I couldn't access the forge from the front so I demo the ONE ceiling closest to the front and BOOM RIP forge Something so massive should have a larger snap point, I can place small items 80% over hanging from a catwalk but the forge has a single tile support? P.S. Noob moves sucks #ARKLogicFail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinter321 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Is it the case with all large structures that they are only connected to one point? Sucks to have lost a forge dude, they not cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancor Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Seems some large structures have limited areas that count for placement. But with things like storage boxes the full bottom counts for it. I had 3 ceilings under one side and one ceiling in the front, to which the single ceiling in the front was doing all the holding. Just frustrating and illogical ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrist14 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I placed a metal behemoth gate on top of a plant turret, the species x was right in the middle where the doors met. The plant turret died from lack of irrigation or whatever so I demolished the crop plot, and the ENTIRE metal behemoth gate got destroyed. Not even just the doors, the gateframe too. Such a stupid waste of 3600 metal. So I feel your pain lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe I got lucky there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I probably should've opened the door but I didn't even consider it being a possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drinkinthepink Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 You can just place the forge on a 1x1 ceiling which is itself placed on a single 1high pillar... can access it from all sides and below, and it doesn't hinder movement since you can run underneath it. You can have multiple forges that require no room on the base level, you can even put smithys directly below the for easy ingot transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyB Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I hate that you can place the forge and if it's too close to a wall it will be half way out the building and can be damaged form outside, had to demo a few forges because of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also helps for placing forges on pillared 1x1 ceiling tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried this but I guess it was not centered enough because I couldn't access it from the front, just everywhere else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
