Constructing a paper mill

Post by davidc »

I am trying to construct a paper mill, but everywhere I click it tells me that it cannot be built. No other messages are given.

Are there any specific requirements for where it must be placed? I have tried different heights.

I've tried different heights, in trees, out of trees, in water, land, in the middle of cities :wink:

seems to be a waste of time. I'd be interested to know if its actually possible without using the editor!

Or try my scenario instead!

Yes it is. I've succeeded several times, but...it happens almost arbitrarily! I haven't figured out what the construction conditions are. And no, I have never constructed a paper mill at a location I wanted it at. ;)

This bug should be solved now; just compile a new version or wait for the nightly.

Good work! I assumed this bug would have been so common that it had already been mentioned. (Which is why I didnt comment on it before I noticed someone just had!).

Wasnt expecting such a quick fix, so good job!
