| Issues with Base building (glitch?) |
|
|
|
I recently bought a base. I have enough prestige to buy new rooms and I have the 8x8 grid. But when I try to place a new room the room outline never turns blue. When it is one space from the entrance it says it needs to be close enough for a door. And when it is right next to it it says it's over lapping. Am I just missing something?

Are you starting with the Portal Room? That one needs to be present and is the only one that doesn't need a doorway.
Additional rooms will "auto-place" doorways if placed ate one cube distance from the first room. You can also rotate rooms (sometimes needed / useful) but I forget what the key for that was. I usually can find it in under 5 minutes, so it's amongst the first twenty choices or so :-)
A handy tip:
You can summon up your Chatbox while in base editting mode by hitting 'C'. You can then, (if you joined) pester AMPers with questions on the gameamp.com channel :-)

The main entrance room with the portal is already there. And when I place rooms one space from the first they are still red and tell me that they need to have enough room for the doorway even though the outline changes ti include a doorway.

Ok, two things can cause this.
1) There needs to be one square-distance between the two rooms, this is where the doorway goes. Doorways are really connecting hallways that way rather than doors in real-life.
2) If the portal is already in the first room, and I think it gets placed in immediately, drag it to the exact center of the room first. It can prevent doorway creation. Similarly, any decoration on the wall, or too close to it in any given room can block attaching a doorway/additional room to that square.
If that doesn't help, look for the doorway option. You can create one first if you like by attaching it to the first room. Then attach the new room to that.
Oh, and welcome to Gameamp! :-)

Also, make sure that the wall your trying to attach it through is empty and has the trim on the floor. Otherwise, it blocks the doorway.
