Building Bugs

So, I was trying to build some supports in a mine, and Bad Things happened. I had a wagon in the room, and laid out the necessary supplies on the ground. I attempted to "build oak supports". THis gave me a message, but used up the resources nonetheless. So I moved the wagon out. I tried again, I got a message. And it used the resources from my wagon again, despite the fact that the wagon was not in the room. Every time this happened, I received a bug error.

That being said, I just lost about 130 planks, and I think around 60 or so nails.

Eeesh, that shouldn't be happening.

Word of advice. If you get the red bug messaging the first time you enter a command, it's not going to magically change by continuing to use the command again and again. People do this constantly and I don't understand it.

BUG these issues the first time, and stop. Otherwise you have a chance to continue to break or waste your materials like in this case.

I'm out of town, but I'll look into this issue once I get back to where I can code.

Well, the reason I did it was I didn't figure out it was pulling materials out of my wagon first, so I was trying to see if it was something to do with the condition of the room (as in, because the wagon was there, or if it was the room itself), or if it was maybe the syntax. But I'll keep that in mind in the future.

I did a little looking into this and testing and was able to make a mine support without an issue, however it didn't use up the correct materials. So this definitely still has issues I need to figure out.

I also didn't use a wagon, so I'll test that next, as that may another issue all together.

I'll keep you posted...

Alright. Should I hold off on building supports until it's fixed then?

I've admittedly been tied down and havn't had the time I'd like to get this ironed out, so for now, continue to do so at your own risk. So, my apologies that this still isn't quite ironed out.

Oddly, I tested yesturday and made a support successfully, but it only used up 13 of my nails and none of the planks in the area. Bah.

So, feel free to try/test stuff, but it seems I need to rework the code section that counts/consumes supplies, and that could take some time to iron out.

It's alright. I'm just really wary about testing with it, mostly because carpentry requires so much prep work (which is why I was irked at the bug, even though it IS my fault for losing all of the things).

It's all Landion's fault!

Wait. Supports should use 12 nails I thought, not 13.

Mmmhrm.

Bad news is, this was totally messed up.

The good news is that it should be fixed. I basically rewrote the whole thing and Rias helped me figure out a tricky spot that was messing me up.

If you get any more bugs out of this, BUG it... and slowly back away.

Okay. I'll see if I can give building supports a try.
