I really like the idea of this mod and have had it for a while but of the probably 20-30 watch towers I've built since installing it probably one 1 was the one from this mod. The reasoning is that it doesn't allow placement close to other buildings such as walls for example and has many more restrictions when it comes to placing on uneven terrain. I realize that the vanilla watchtower has these same restrictions but adding a slopeless patch for this would go a long way to making it truly better imo.

have any of these issues been fixed, is the mod still being updated?

I am having the same problem as Zombiewhaffle. Crafting benches can't be placed on 2F-3F because they "Must be placed inside a building." The roof and 1F do not have this issue.

For some reason, this tower won't let me place any interior items on the 2nd or 3rd floor. Any item that can be placed outside works fine but beds and the like just don't work and will give the generic: Item must be placed inside, even tho the roof works fine. Any ideas?

@Nin I would try placing it somewhere where it doesn't crash, then using the dev tool to move the building where you want ti, then recalculating the navmesh and colliders(I think that's the 2 things I'd always do. I haven't played in a couple years, but few people know Kenshi as well as I do).

That will probably work, might not, but it's worth a shot.

Anyways, I like this idea, it makes using towers more viable.

it's just this mod's tower, any other building or structure is fine and the vanilla watchtower works too. I just found out that is just one specific spot (and for some reason it coincided where I wanted to put the tower) where it makes the game crash.

I'm trying to build it on top of the hill that is north to the rebel base on the border zone. The vanilla tower works fine there but this tower immediately crashes when I hit confirm. However it works when I place it anywhere else. Could it be the weird pathing around hills? (cause I'm trying to orientate in a specific way, and it just happens that the entrance ends up facing the edge of the hill)

Hey Nin, I went in to game just now to see if it would crash for me and it does not. Does the game crash when placing other buildings or just this building? Does the Vanilla Watchtower place fine?
It should be pretty much impossible for this mod to conflict with anything so I don't think that's the issue.

whenever I place it and confirm, the game crashes. I can't think of a mod that could be conflicting with it. Any ideas?

should be fine yes

Can this be added mid-save?

gg

that's pretty cool, I was just looking at this mod, then I like saw a patch mod or whatever for your more dogs mod, I had no idea that you made it. Very good jobs on both

Yeah don't worry it's just a suggestion, your building is already awesome.

Take your time, burn out is serious.

I've started making a flipped version but its more annoying than I first thought so it might be a while before it's ready if I get it done

Would it also possible to include a flipped version of the Watch tower like in this mod : https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2672839646 ?
It would be awesome as I use them right next to my gates alongside station house to have a nice killbox in my bases

Hell yeah we are interested :D Watchtowers are awesome, but by default a little clunky. & I look forward to finding out if the patches are possible. I took a cursory glance at GenMod & it seems to be texture based from what I can tell. I don't know about other mods that add new looking watchtowers. I would imagine ones like the mod that makes a Watchtower that spirals in reverse would be a new mesh. But everything else should theoretically be textures.

I'm glad you guys like the mod.
As for a patch it's definitely possible but I would say it depends on how the watchtower color swap is accomplised. If it's just a texture swap then the patch can be made very easily.

Would there be anyway to make a patch for this to work with mods that add other watchtower colours?

My love-hate relationship with the watchtower has turned to love.

Great job! Keep the Steam reward! The game needs more mods for new buildings, I hope this is not your last mod :)

Good mod, very good
