Sinking Buildings

why do some buildings in some areas fall through the floor? For example, a small room near waste handling in ns_tannith that joins 3 vents is prime for stealth sieging that hive, then you can move down one vent and siege fusion. but in the first siege point you can't build a factory anywhere but in the vent that you go down into, you cant build turrets anywhere, can't build phase gates, they all sink and keep sinking. The one exception is a siege cannon. Really wierd.

    All I know for sure is that it has something to do with the ceiling height. Having a really low ceiling means the buildings you place will probably sink.

    Not sure, but I hope so. It is a royal pain as a commander or Gorge to watch your new building just drifting away through the map, taking all of those resources with it. If the problem can't be surmounted, I'd appreciate a 'You can't build here, not enough room' message rather than actually making the doomed structure.

    Its a brush problem with the maps. For some reason the buildings go through when the area should have a no build brush.

    Im not sure.

    I have a picture where an alien RT fell through the floor on nothing, luckily, it only fell partway through and was able to continue pumping resoures...

    The image should be below, it makes the limit just about, so I'm not sure if it will make it through...

    That spot, Cronos, is actually mentioned in the bug forum where a Frontiersmen resource tower did the same thing.

    Theres this spot on eclipse out side a hive (wont mention where), but tf and seiges fall right into the ground, making it impossible to build that hive. i pinpointed where the seige was and shot it about 50 times as fade and it didnt die. This wasnt just a once only thing, ive seen it happen in the same spot a few times.

    btw, it wasnt a low ceiling.
