Problem description

i placed supply camp on flat land (took me a while to fit this out), which then built itself, i made a town hall as i didnt know 1 appears in supply camp, so now i have 2 lol.
anyway i go to place the town hall on flat land, use build tool and all is fine, then i click green tick and it says it is outside the colony?
i have this next to the supply camp, (not so the build goes in to the camp though), i cant place anything else until i build the town hall.
could you tell me what i am doing wrong?

Yup that's it! It's over 50 versions out of date though (for minecolonies), can you try updating?

You do need to get the exact version of Structurize that it specifies, not the latest one.

so there are no colonies already, hmm
are you using the build tool to place it? If you are try without it, if you aren't try with it

Usually the best thing to do is to place down the town hall block by hand, right click it and create a colony, then break the block again and place it with the build tool to get the exact style and placement that you want.

yeah it says use build tool, or place anyway, when i click place anyway, it just places the item, not a building, but then when i go to place builders hut, it says i need a town hall

You have to place the town hall block, actually create the colony at the town hall GUI, then place the builder's hut, then actually build the builders hut, then finally you can build the town hall. In exactly that order. (Well, technically you can delay actually building the town hall as long as you like, but you might as well do it then.)

thank you, that seems to have worked, its got like a fencing around it now that i can walk through, much bigger that the build tool said it was lol.
same with builders hut, it has created 1 person so far. i will try and understand the rest lol

This is not the advice that I have ever seen anyone in the mod give, unless there is a problem. Build tool for all buildings except the supply buildings =)

Just for the initial town hall placement. Once in a while it gets confused when you try to use the build tool to place it and you don't yet have a colony. Once the colony is set up, then build tool all the way after that.

Always make sure to create the building block for the building you want to build, and choose it in the left hand drop down arrow when you want to place it - don't let the left hand drop down say "decorations" it should say whatever building you are trying to make =)

Well, if it's working now, this can be closed
