Spots directly adjacent on Village Idol sides cannot be levelled even though the village idol does not touch any of these squares.
Wondering if this is intended behaviour or is fixable... It seems like a bug because I am able to level and modify all other adjacent squares, but the ones on the sides.
The depressed, blue spots in the images below are the squares I'm referring to.

Re: Unable to level ground around Village Idol
Might be the hit box on the sides extends a touch into that spot so that you can't access it. If that's the case, try dropping soil on the depression and letting the ground absorb it, maybe that will help level it?

Judging by the images, it definitely does.synntax33 wrote:Might be the hit box on the sides extends a touch into that spot
So, it's time for the perfectionist to be "depressed and blue" >.>

Village Idol takes up 2x3 according to the wiki => http://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Village_Claimsynntax33 wrote:Might be the hit box on the sides extends a touch into that spot so that you can't access it.

Don't see how the idol hitbox could extend over the paved stone and block both sides if it truly is 2x3. I tried Shift + M2 to replace the dirt as well as the drop suggestion, but no dice. RIP

It's also worth noting that you must have a paved 2x3 area to place a village claim. If the claim hitbox were to extend over the paving, I wouldn't have been able to place it.

Re: Unable to level ground around Village Idol
Could be a couple possible things here. Should be easy enough to fix once jorb or loftar get a chance to take a look at it. There was a bit of a change to the way hitboxes work a month or two ago, and this might be the first time this problem has been spotted. Could be an issue specific to the village idol in that patch viewtopic.php?f=39&t=68173#p857035 :
