Docklands blocks itself when moving main building & modules, I click the Move button and then only click on the main building to move it & all attached modules to a new location along the same coast line (which is devoid of any other structures) and I get a "Free harbour area needed" error.
Sounds like the same issue Piers used to suffer from.
Hey @Nicholas_Steel
I'm sorry that you've had this issue on Anno 1800.
Would you be able to take a video of the issue, as it would be very useful to investigate your report?
Thank you very much.
@Nicholas_Steel Hey there, thanks for the update! I'm glad to hear you were able to figure out the situation. You can post gameplay suggestions to the general discussion category.
Hey @Asterix201252
Thank you for your great suggestion! This could be useful for other players experiencing the same thing.
Much appreciated
