Terrain modification failed

Everytime I try to put down a steam blueprint I get this message. How do I fix it guys

Is it a specific blueprint or all blueprints? Which mode are you placing it in?

Not OP, but all habitat blueprints do this if they're anywhere near anything like paths, buildings, water, etc. You're forced to place them several squares away.

What holliday50 said. Same for me. All the blueprints I download must be placed well away from existing paths and bldgs or I get that "failure" error.

I started getting that same issue after reopening a saved game. Even clearing an old path and trying to replace it exactly in that spot said the same thing. Glad to know others have seen this to

Had this issue with a habitat I made a blueprint of, even after I'd flattened the ground and everything.

Sandbox, all blueprints from steam workshop. All the blueprints frontier designed work fine it’s just the ones users create

In franchise mode at least, you have to place the blueprint so the yellow marker grid is not touching a path. I tend to remove any nearby paths & put them back after placing the blueprint.

I’ve had this problem with frontier blueprints as well! Its infuriating ://

I’ve had the same problem. Then if I continue to try and place it, my game crashes.

My guess is that you cannot place it because an existing path is close.
have you tried these:

• placing somewhere in the nowhere to test if it's a close path
• have you checked the three "disable collision" boxes in Settings/Game ?
• disable 'flatten terrain' in path options
