Don't Starve Together

Less Placement Blocking [DST]

Thanks for your help, I ended up figuring out what the problem was. I had two copies of this mod, one in the directory you alluded to, but also one in steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together\mods, which I think would be the folder for manually installed mods. Perhaps the game gives priority to this folder over the steam one. Anyways, I've deleted the duplicate and done a full reinstall as you described and all is well :)

If the out-of-date prompt is appearing even after re-subscribing, it's possible that steam workshop could somehow be getting stuck on an older or cached version of the mod.

If you're on Windows and see a folder named 1430042811 in Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\322330, deleting it should hopefully resolve this issue. Aside from that, I'm out of ideas.

I tried releasing a "dummy update" in an attempt to stop workshop from getting stuck.
let me know if any of this helps!

I can also confirm what the previous commenter has said, birds will still block the placement of buildings with this mod enabled.

Hi. I keep getting a prompt telling me this mod is out of date, despite unsubscribing, manually deleting the mod folder, and then resubscribing. So it should be a fresh install and I should be using the latest version. I think this has only started happening since you pushed the last update.

Have you updated to the mod's latest version? I haven't noticed any problems while testing.

Not working now

So, I know this mod is several years old given the most previous comment was 3.5 years ago, but you can stack almost 81 anenemy's in a single tile. Geometric placement you can put one on every single mark it gives you. Its pretty wild for spider farms!

I am SO GLAD that I remembered this mod exists. Trying to play Webber after his rework and without this mod I could NEVER build anything when my spiders are around and I don't want to dismiss them just to build a freaking wall lol
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! <3
I will try using this on my Wurt server later too because merms are also great at disrupting my pinecone planting. <_<

@唯有熟尔

When you get a crash screen, there should be a number in the crash message. like workshop/219512719 for example

That number is the workshop ID, and it can help you find out which mod is causing your crashes.

Hey, i've been using a personal updated/modifed version of this mod for some time now. Would that be okay for me to upload it as an updated version of your mod?

omg i dont know what to say becase its a very very very good mod
Cline 16 Nov, 2019 @ 10:52am 
seeing your code, this would be very similar to the function that checks for traps, but instead you change the the AddTag("noblock") to changing the radius to a value of 1 (thats the radius that wall check for other walls)
Cline 16 Nov, 2019 @ 10:47am 
Hello! I was wondering if you could make walls have a smaller radius for other structures? (you can place walls close to structures but not structures close to walls)
The Stoneaxe 17 Aug, 2019 @ 5:39pm 
ok i don't know what happened but i uninstalled/reinstalled and it's working now
The Stoneaxe 17 Aug, 2019 @ 3:02pm 
hey this mod keeps crashing my game when i play, i'm guessing it's because of the new update since like none of my mods have been working since then but i figured i'd mention it

reducing the mouse hitboxes of many objects could also help, eg it is nearly impossible to place gunpowder next to a sleeping deerclops, because of his big hitbox (same problem as described below), therefore I already increased the range of gunpowder.
Serp 15 Jul, 2019 @ 10:20am 
thank you for your response, but I fear this is not what I mean, although I did not understand yet what the mod does.

Easiest example of what I mean is when you want to pllace something behind a tree. The tree is blocking your view and your mouse. You have to rotate to be able to place sth.
But eg when placing saplings it can get frusttrating, cause you are able to see behind a sapling, but your mouse does not go through. In the following 2 screenshots you can see that there is only a very very small mouseposition where I can plant it, while a tiny mouse movement dont let me plant it:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1805006558
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1805007250

So a solution could be, that in case there is only one valid action, the mouse prefers this one. So when hovering the mouse over an tree with a sapling , the only valid action would be to place it behind the tree.

I will also post this at Stacking Enabler mod page.

@Serp Have you seen CarlZalph's "Stacking Enabler" mod? I think that does what you're looking for.
Serp 14 Jul, 2019 @ 4:46pm 
Are you able to improve this mod (or make another one ort optional) that also things "in view" do not block?

Let me describe it:
There is something directly in front of the place you want to build sth. the placement is not blcoked, you are able to place it there. But because sth is standing in front the "build" (or plant) action wont appear. You have to rotate the camera to be able to place it. And in case many things are around that place, even rotating the camera wont help, although it should be possible to place it there.

Great, really helps :)

@TigerInuzuka I didn't see any mentions of tumbleweed spawners in the code, so it's probably not this mod which is causing your problem.

I'd recommend spawning a few tumbleweed spawners around your map's dragonfly desert, It's a cheaty solution, but you've been dealt a somewhat gamebreaking hand of cards.
FoxBits 29 Oct, 2018 @ 10:28am 
(the command I used in the console is c_gonext('tumbleweedspawner') taken from https://www.reddit.com/r/dontstarve/comments/3c8rgz/is_there_anyway_to_figure_out_where_the/ )
FoxBits 29 Oct, 2018 @ 10:27am 
Ugh. I just had a world spawn without tumbleweed spawners. I explored the entire map and couldnt find them so I tried to teleport myself in the console to the closest one and it said there were none. In DST this is terrile since that's the only way gears are renewable AFAIK. I'm too wimpy to fight clockworks to find out if they respawn. Is this normal to have such a shitty worldspawn that you will get 0 tumbleweeds or possibly a bug from this mod?

I think it's funny because I never look at the Steam Workshop for Don't Starve, but the picture on this addon alone made me want to see it more.

@Gameatronic9000 Added tumbleweeds to noblock list!
Gameatronic9000 8 Jul, 2018 @ 9:12am 
i have one small request for this mod, tumbleweeds.
i don't know what my luck is, but i like having a base near a source of tumbleweeds, and it is so terrible for basebuilding as they block structures like a crockpot blocks structures.
other than that little footnote, this is one of the most useful utilities i have ever used. thanks for the utility.
