Shelter 69 🔞[ADULT NSFW]: How to Move Rooms to Locations That Have Been Built on Previously?
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: try a double move.
What you need to know
When transferring rooms in the shelter, you might run into a bug where previously occupied spots block new placements. Even though the target location looks completely empty, the game still registers prior construction there and refuses the transfer. Because there is no official fix for this issue yet, you must rely on community workarounds to reset the tile data.
Step by step
- Select the room you want to place and attempt to move it to a completely different, neutral location first.
- Once the room is successfully relocated away from the problematic spot, try transferring it back to your original target location.
- Alternatively, take any random single-slot room and move it directly onto the stubborn spot.
- Move that same single-slot room back off the spot to clear the tile history.
- Attempt your original room transfer again to see if the location now accepts the placement.
Tips
- Try the double move method if the standard transfer fails on a previously built square.
- Use a single-slot room to test and reset stubborn construction squares.
What players reported
I am trying to move a room to an empty location but because I previously build a room there even though its technically empty it doesn't let me transfer
What players suggest
try a double move. Move room to another location and try moving to target location again. Or Move another 1 slot room to that spot and move it back and then try.
