Notes
The player decided to move their colony and didn't check any documentation on how to do it. Honestly why should they? Harvested their townhall block and placed it in a new location outside the colony borders. The block appears to place and then vanishes.
Things to consider when evaluating:
- they did not know about the new mechanic where you craft a townhall block and then place that outside the colony borders to establish a new colony
- instead they naturally assumed that picking up the townhall block and placing it down somewhere else would change the colony to a new location
- it's probably time to change the code that sets the colony center from the first time to any time the townhall block is placed
- and probably shouldn't have to require making a new townhall block to move the colony, however or maybe a corollary have the townhall block once placed become unmineable like bedrock and that when an attempt is made to harvest it, a message appears telling the player the proper way to move the colony is to make a new townhall block and place it outside the colony.
