Terrain Modification Failed...

Does anyone have a work round as its stopping me lay any more pathways of any sort and its basically ruined my game. It wont let me join any path along my main path im just getting "terrain modification failed" so I cant even make a new habitat because even keepers paths dont work. I have tried deleting the main path but then it wont let me re lay a path there. I have tried raising the path and flattening the ground. Ive tried different check boxed in the path settings... nothing I can think of is working. Power and water wont connect either. I planned to have a boat ride down a river and I cant get a path there. I put this path down before the last update and may have used the snap to barrier setting. Just having looked at that it seems to have changes from a check box to a drop down... has this broken all my paths?

Its happening all round even where the barrier is further back or there is no barrier ... but i will try that now and see if it works. Thanks for the suggestion.
 
Um, okay, another possibility:

I know you've tried different path setting options, but most of these "Terrain Modification Failed" errors are caused when the "Flatten Terrain" option is turned on. And it does not necessarily have to be active on the new path. Maybe you created this main path with this option enabled? It can cause trouble everywhere...
 
Its not on now, but it could have been on when I put down the initial path, trouble is if i try deleting some of that path I cant lay another where it was, so I have to click undo to get it back. I just moved all my barriers in all round and that hasnt worked :( I cant think what else to do

OMG.... Thank you!!!! so with the barriers moved ... now if i delete the path I can replace it without the flatten terrain checked and it works... Thank you so much :)

Yes, I have just entered my next (and last) suggestion - moving more of the barriers and possibly further away so you can replace the main path without this option enabled.
You're welcome and I'm glad it worked :)
