Hello, I'm having trouble building the "metal extractor" building, I'm creating a blank map in single player mode, and I can't build this building, nor using the tooltips when I go to a building site and select a building and give a build order. Help solve the problem, please.
#Can't build "Metal extractor" building

it has to be placed on a metal spot which a blank map wouldn't have?

the metal extractor building needs to be built on certain places (on metal spots), which can be seen by pressing the F4 button, when I choose where to build this building, I can’t build it, despite the fact that there are enough resources and space

you said you're creating a blank map, what's the order of operations that this happens in, you loading it like a normal map or after all the lua scripts have loaded during runtime?

I did not go through training, I learned to play through a single mode with AI

is the blank map a map you added to your maps folder or is that something you generated in the game during runtime?

launched the game, selected a 6×4 map, added AI, pressed "start", waited for loading, selected a starting position, gave the order to build a metal extractor building and is not being built

I did not create maps, but downloaded those that are in the game itself

you didn't do anything wrong, i just have no clue what might've went wrong
drifting ibex
to you to throw off a log file?
carmine spade
i believe that button should give you a zip folder with your game logs, i can see what loaded and failed to load in there once you upload it here

Here
if you need to know what operating system I use, then I use Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
carmine spade
so, this sits outside of my current area of knowledge but i think your gpu just isn't compatible with the game and somehow mexes not placing is just the first thing to show that through sheer luck
drifting ibex
in other words, is my laptop weak for this game??
carmine spade
yea
drifting ibex
but sometimes the game allows you to put a metal extractor 😂😂
carmine spade
to explain that, there's a script that snaps mexes to metal spots, some maps rather than metal spots are just metal
said script fails when it tried to draw the stuff related to it moving the placement position
there are things that bypass this script such as right clicking a metal spot, or using the area_mex command

clear, now the main question, in my case, is it possible to solve the problem?
