direwolf20 - beacon UI disabled?

[GreenZombie]

So I've obtained "some" beacons and, given how generous dw20 is - enough gold for two full size beacon pyramids.

But the Beacon UI isn't (seemingly) picking up on pyramid of gold blocks its sitting on. All the buttons with the exception of cancel are disabled.

Any ideas?

I assume that you've filled in the pyramid of blocks to complete the full beacon? Have you offered up the ingot / gem required to activate the beacon?

The beacon sits atop a solid pyramid of gold blocks. 164 gold blocks. (3x3 + 5x5 + 7x7 + 9x9). The reagent has been proffered, but the UI remains disabled with the exception of the cancel button.

Yes I am getting the same thing, I have made a beacon base for 5 beacons out of iron and it is solid, this is what I get: http://prntscr.com/84kd1t

I got it working for me, I had missed a block in the roof so the beam could not exit. from what I can see they only modified the UI and the normal mechanics seem to be working for me.

Just confirmed, the bloody beacon needs to be able to see the sky. Glass is ok. Solid blocks are not.

Carpenters blocks also work. I made a plus-shaped hole and then fixed the land to make it look normal -- but with large lazers coming from the ground
