Can't change plot type

[Bakstabbah]

Been using RotC for a while now without much of problems.
This current issue of mine came after i updated to 3.3.1, there are couple plots in Sanctuary (Im using the base city plan) which i can't change.
I can only change the building plan but not the plot type for some unknown reason.
In every other settlement i can change plot types as i please but Sanctuary just refuses to let me do that. The whole change plot type button at the bottom i just gone.

Those couple plots in question are at the "industrial" part where most if not all industrial plots are.

Did you made those plots under a prior version where the foundation is included in the plot? Those can't be changed -- only the newer, foundationless plots can be changed.

That's because they have a foundation. You can't see it as the designer sunk the plots to far into the ground.

The Sanctuary city plan is from 3.3.0 version with current save, could change plot types on that and i can change them now too but not on certain plots after the update.

I just find it odd that other plots are changeable in the city plan, except those few and only in sanctuary.

Change plot type is now only available for foundation less plots. The switch is complete now, and to even be able to build ones with a foundation the option has to be turned on in the holotape.
And Sanctuary has I think 4 plots that didn't get updated.. long ago. LOL

But i havent build plots myself at all, im only using the premade city plan from RotC. My issue is that before the update i could change all the plots from industrial into farms etc without problems.
Now that i updated from 3.3.0 to 3.3.1 there are suddenly 4 plots in Sanctuary that i cant change, which i was able to change before. They are stuck being industrial.

The 4 in question have attached foundations.
They are part of the City Plan.

Now if you can't change the ones sitting on the 2 vanilla house foundations.. then that's a bug.

 

[Bakstabbah]

Yes they are those plots on vanilla housing areas which the city plan auto scraps and the builds / adds plots on them. Those plot types i cant change anymore.
During 3.3.0 i changed them without problems. Just clicked asam and change plot type. Now at 3.3.1 the change plot type option is gone.

 

[woodfuzzy]

Okay! Let me build it real quick.

 

[woodfuzzy]

You can only change the 2 plots that are on the vanilla house foundation on the river side. the other 4 have foundations.
If you see this when looking at the pole..

They can't be changed.
These can be changed.

I'll add it to my list to swap out those concrete plots - those were supposed to have all been removed a long time ago, but someone clearly missed them.

They are buried so would be easy to miss.

Oh okay i thought that i broke something with update, welp didnt pay attention to the foundation.

Searching a forum led me to an answer. Whodathunk?

Sounds like a good opportunity to dig into how the cities are made and submit a fix, if I'm feeling a wee ambitious. Time to start reading tutorials. Otherwise, I'm trying out the Industrial City add-on for the first time, so I can still make the plots specialized, even if they're not "advanced."

Am I correct in guessing that retroactively substituting the new foundations with separate plots attached in place of every instance of the old foundation plots would be totally disastrous? Maybe @kinggath could try it and I could cook some popcorn.
