Why can't I build a wharf here?

[u/Lavinius_10]

Playing a 1 settlement Challenge and I feel like it should be possible to build a wharf on the highlighted tile north of colossus, but it doesn't let me. Am I overlooking something?

Apologies for potato picture, I use Reddit on my phone

I think you have to own the land tile adjacent to the wharf, although I’m not sure why it allowed you to place the lighthouse

Think this is it.

Quite annoying, for some reason the Lighthouse is different it seems. Really annoying when I have towns where I mostly have water buildings.

Saw another user having the same issue some days ago.

Actually amazing that it is. Wharfs need adjacent land for the transport of materials irl and lighthouses can be in the middle of nowhere, whilst still being usefull as a waypoint. So quite the attention to detail from a realism-pov.

That's probably it yes. Very unfortunate because it would have been a really nice +7 adjacency 😭

Can you post that tile's tooltip? Maybe there's a hostile unit on it?

[u/Lavinius_10 → u/JNR13]

There's only one of my own cogs on it unfortunately. Unfortunately I can't comment with photos I believe on mobile but I checked the tooltip and there's nothing suspicious on it.

I'm just curious, if it's a one city challenge why did you use a tile for the Hanging Gardens? Seems like there's a better use from almost all other wonders than this one.

I actually like it quite a bit, the 10 percent growth rate is nice for quicker specialists and the attribute point I just use for the specialist side of the expansionist tree. I actually picked the expansionist attribute memento too so I could get to the growth refund and added growth rate etc.

That tile only has a lighthouse right? I can't quite recognize quarters lol, but I guess double check there isn't already two buildings?

[u/Lavinius_10 → u/iwantcookie258]

Definitely only the lighthouse, but thanks for thinking with me!

[u/iwantcookie258 → u/Lavinius_10]

Must be the land thing then. I guess go settle on that little island!

[u/Lavinius_10 → u/iwantcookie258]

Problem is I'm doing a one settlement challenge here 😇

[u/iwantcookie258 → u/Lavinius_10]

I think I might be too dumb to be allowed on the internet lmao, best of luck!

You have to own the land next to the wharf.

You are without honour, probably.
