I want to prevent a player from placing a certain building under certain circumstances. Collision mask is not precise enough, and the on_pre_player_built_entity event does not exist. So I have to listen for the on_built_entity event and the destroy the building and refund the build cost.

Has any other mod solved this problem?

If you don't mind waiting a month for 0.17, you could ask to see if on_pre_player_built_entity could be implemented.

That's what the on-put-item event is. It literally fires before building an entity and only before building an entity.

Thanks for the hint, it seems Nexela is using the same approach as me because on_put_item doesn't work.
