Full replacment of the issue. It seems my directional drop is totally broked worse than i thought. I actually can’t drop in any of the cardinal directions and it missing those locations, such as trunks entirely and instead dropping under or beside ovens/trunks is actually the issue.

Maybe there is no space left on the tile or perhaps something else is going on. Try using advanced inventory to put it there.
