lost storage house in sector 5..it just vanished

[Stewartville]

I have 3 mason structures in sector 5 close to the stone mines. I destroyed a mine an I realize there was space to build another structure by the stone...I thought the storage building would block the stone mine being built in searching for a new mine. What happen was It vaporize my storage building instead and built the mine. I lost a license and I lost the resources... Don't care about the resources but I do care about the lost storage house. I do believe there was 100 storage increase but...I still don't have a storage building to increase. I am clueless on how to make the storage house appear so I can build it up to level 5...

What I have done so far:
I reboot system to clear cache. HELP!?!:confused:

Not sure what is happening here. Would you be able to provide a screenshot on sector 5 and tell me where your storage house was exactly?
It would also help if you could tell us:
How many Storage Houses and what level?
What's the level of your Mayor's House?
What's your max storage capacity?

Rebooting you computer doesn't necessarily clear your cache. If you need help clearing your cache, look at this page (http://pcsupport.about.com/od/browsers/f/clear-cache.htm) (scroll down a bit to see the links per browser and select the link naming the browser you use to play The Settlers Online)

This sounds more like a graphics issue. If you do indeed have 100 more storage then from what you say I would suspect the mine/quarry image is over the top of the storehouse image.

You're not really meant to be able to build on top of a Quarry spot:

but often you can:

Unfortunately, while a Quarry will usually build under the building with no problem, when the Quarry collapses the building goes too. If it's a regular License building from the build menu it really is vaporised and you should get the License back. If it's a Deed building bought from the Trade Office with resources or the Merchant with gems it goes back to the Star menu and can be rebuilt somewhere safer.

Since yours was a Storehouse I'm afraid it really is gone and must be rebuilt from scratch but any extra resources stored there may indeed remain, they often stay for a time even when a Storehouse is removed:

The 1,500 over my limit of 36,100 is from a level 3 Storehouse I blew up before building the new one. (Curiosity you know. :rolleyes:) I wouldn't rely on that though, building a new Store fairly quickly to hold them is, again, much safer. Even better is to build the new Store first but like now that's not always possible.

It's not a perfect answer to the problem but I hope it helps a bit.

Disclaimer: It's probably wise to keep in mind that while the discovery of the things mentioned above is often accidental building on a Quarry spot is pretty clearly not intended and the return of a Deed building to the Star and excess 'ghost' storage may be iffy so if anyone is considering using them consistently it's 'at your own risk'.
