Forces me to put down object at base of tree

[Bunny]

I've been trying to put down a boat just behind my drying racks because this way I won't have to walk around it. It just happens that I can't see the space behind the drying racks because the top of a pine tree covers the spot. But that normally didn't used to matter. I'd click where I wanted the object to go behind the tree and it would go there. It won't. I keep walking tiles away to the foot of the tree and putting the boat down there.

Testing on other trees I get the same problem with a spruce and a willow. If this is a new change it is going to play hob with hiding stuff behind trees. It'll be okay for spruce trees, but they are the only ones that are wide at the bottom. I'd also kind of like to put things down where I want to put them down.

I can't see a rationale for this that would call it an improvement, so I am posting it here in BUGS. : (

Known bug.

is this from the recent change loftar made? apparently now if you are carrying something and click an object it will place the thing you are carrying next to the object, which i don't really understand the rationale behind...

Maybe it is meant to be easier to place things as close together to save space? It would work, I suppose behind a house.

I wonder what happens when there is already an object placed at the base of a tree? I think I will experiment!

Sorry about posting a known bug. I didn't see this problem yesterday and I didn't see anything recent in the bug forum.

As a makeshift solution you could use Gilbertus' custom client. It let's you hide trees completely so you can click on the ground as if they weren't there.

i couldnt find the bug thread, so i revive this one. The bug is still there, also in gilbertus client, and i had to chop a tree to be able to make a road
