Carpets not showing the build icon when I hover my mouse over them

The crossed tools (build) icon doesn't show when I hover over them so construction cannot go as planned. I've also used shift-build (bringing up the Engineer task) but Inu is not responding. The other items construct just fine (crafting benches, benches, and storage units).

How do I cancel constructing them? (I've already clicked the Confirm button unfortunately.)

Oh, that's an old one. From what i remember, people with engineer jobs do build it eventually, so I guess you could try and wait till they get their hands on that carpet, and delete it afterwards, but that seems to be a slim chance.

You should be very able to delete it from the Shift+F12 ingame editor, just make sure to save beforehand and be very precise while deleting.

Thanks Sol! I'll try that fix if the first one doesn't work.

carpets aren't buildings, that must be from a mod. It would cause a bug like that if the carpet "building" had no collision

Carpets are available from the "Random Furniture" research though. And - i think - they were even fine at some point, and got broken later.

Can confirm Sol's post.
In addition, it seems that a collision file is REQUIRED for a building to have proper collisions, unlike the FCS suggests. Carpets only have the mesh so they have no collision (not anymore at least).

So for now... avoid constructing carpets?

Or just build them right away with no delays, or rely on your engineers to build it eventually. And place them thoughfully either way.

Sorry for the late reply guys; RL and ISP issues got in the way.

Three patches have launched since then so I'll get back to you on this if ever I see this bug rear its ugly head once again.
