You have no applicable building materials for this con-site

Post by CaptainMidget »

I was building an Extraction Press using Plain tree planks, and when I got to 3 planks in, with 3 more highlighted green in my inventory it told me I had no more applicable building materials. I closed the site and reopened the construction sign, this time is put 2 more planks in and then stopped 5 and gave me the error again, with 1 plane-tree plank highlighted. Clicked build again, but gave me the same error. Moved away, re-opened it and I could put the plank into the sign.

Tried to recreate but put logs in first and then boards, no problem when building.

Sadly I couldn't get a screenshot, but I do have 5 error messages in my System for "somewhat proof" if you'd like :D

You had a crafting window open that was reserving items in your inventory so they could not be used for building.

That was my first thought but one was not open. :)

Pretty sure you had a crafting window open. No explanation otherwise. Can't reproduce, at the very least.

He said that there have been highlighted boards in his inventory, that sounds like crafting locking them. I have had crafting not highlighting materials in my inventory, and couldn't craft (no reproducer yet, so no report, reopening the craft window or - more often - dropping the materials and picking them up fixed it).

Could we get finally get rid of the locking of materials and just keep the highlighting?
