Our Manor Lords guide will help you understand some of the reasons that flexible plots can’t be built and how to avoid or fix them.
Flexible plots are how you’ll build burgage plots, marketplaces, and farm fields in your Manor Lords town. It’s a pretty intuitive (and satisfying) process with the edges of the plots snapping to roads to make organic shapes. Sometimes, though, it just doesn’t work.

Flexible plots are how you’ll lay out some important parts of your town. It a simple enough process — you just place four point to define the corners of a shape (some sort of quadrangle). Where it gets more complicated is the (clever) way it fills in the gaps and expands the plot(s).
Flexible plots snap to roads by default. This makes them fill in all the space available around intersections and other buildings or plots. It’s also where things can get a little messy — remember, Manor Lords is in early access. Sometimes, your flexible plot will turn red (telling you can’t build it) while you’re laying it out. Other times, you can place all four points and then the build button just never lights up. And, sadly, the game doesn’t actually tell you why you’re not allowed to build your plot.
Before we dig into the more complicated and weirder reasons this happens, check to make sure your plot doesn’t cross a road and that you have the supplies you need to build it.
