Hakushi	on: 02 Feb 2013 [08:07] Share: Star picture Translate» In one of my cities, I built a level 2 rare building requiring 9 cells. I realized it wasn't the best place for this building and I decided to move it 2 cells to the east and 2 cells to the north. The area is free so it shouldn't be a problem but when I try, I'm getting this error message: "You cannot terraform under a building!" I'm not trying to terraform, I shouldn't get that message. Anyone else tried to move a rare building and got that kind of message?

Hakushi	on: 02 Feb 2013 [08:41] That would be the reason, the building would overlap with itself on 2 cells. If I would get back the drafts, I would demolish the building and rebuild it where I want it but I'm almost certain the drafts once used are gone and I won't try it. Thank you for your help.

When you first built the building, did you have enough free spots around to make it a 9-cell building if you did not place anything in those spots? Also, can you send a screenshot of the area you with to move it to (please include the grid). You will not get the drafts back if you demolish or downgrade (Do not know 100% but seems logical to me).
Hakushi	on: 05 Feb 2013 [07:25] Here's the link: http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/6731/sscity.jpg On the image, the third option is where I'll move the building if the main option is impossible. I tought it would be possible to move it even if the building itself is still there. Isn't the building getting moved to a new location, it shouldn't be blocked by itself?
crimson	on: 06 Feb 2013 [00:51] updated: 06 Feb 2013 [12:17] hmm, strange. maybe it is blocked by itself? If it is, it's bad coding as I can't think of a reason why not to allow such a move. You can do a simple test to confirm and maybe even fix the problem. just demo your stables. it's rather cheap to build back, an not very intrusive to your game-play while it's being demolished and rebuilt in another location. Or you can send a support ticket in to see if moving rare buildings is even an option or if it's blocking itself... [Edit\| Well, it seems overlapping itself is bad. You must demo the stables if you wish to move the rare building. I talked with a developer on this and they said that they will fix this problem in the future, however, its not really high on the to-do list]
