Red standard armor dissapearing on placement?

[solarapple]

For some reason I can't use red standard armor in single player creative. The only way I can get it is through loaded blueprints. I can't place it using templates, area build, normal build, not in build mode, etc. It disappears upon being placed. Is there reason for this?

Have you been deleting any files or messing with Configs?

Your best bet is to click the repair installation button.

I've seen this happen randomly in creative mode. You place a block and it vanishes. The same block can be placed from your regular inventory while not in creative. Restarting the game solved the problem.

Did the problem persist the next time you loaded up the game?

sorry for not responding, I reloaded the game and the problem stopped. This has happened before, and the only things ive done is disable spawning and increase the area build limit.

Yeah it's a weird bug in creative mode. It affected shield capacitators when it happened to me. Not sure if it's reported in Phab, I did a quick search and couldn't come up with anything. Perhaps Lancake can confirm if it's been reported or not.

It's not reported but you're never sure till you know how to reproduce it. It could be related to another issue, I use creative mode all the time in multiplayer and never noticed this before. Is this perhaps a singleplayer only issue?

Yeah I have no idea how to reproduce it, the three times I've seen it (only once for me), it's been a different block every time. It has happened in both single player as well as multiplayer. It's only a minor inconvenience and seems to be fixed by restarting the game. I think I might have used suicide to attempt to fix it as well but I cannot say for certain.

Well, something similar happens for 2 things:
- You mass place X blocks but you don't have that many, a portion of them will get removed afterwards.
- Obtaining slabs as a standalone block (by using admin commands), placing them will auto remove them almost immediately.

In both cases it's the server that's checking what the client does, and disagrees with it. The first time the server says you can't place that many blocks since you don't have enough and it removes them, the second time the server doesn't allow you to place standalone slabs so it also removes them.

What you 2 experience sounds like the same thing to me. Something causes the server to not like you and removes any block on placement ^^
When you have this, does it happen for every block you have or only for a specific one?

As far as I know it's only one specific block. Placing the same block outside of creative mode works fine.
