While placing Stone Brick to form a path, I came close to a patch of Uranium Ore. Within 5 tiles of the boundary of the patch, the game closed without any warning. Upon reloading it, I tried other types of resource patches: specifically coal, iron, and stone. Summary of results: I don't have any issues placing Stone Brick down within the boundary of the patch or anywhere outside where there are no resources, but anytime Stone Brick is placed close to the boundary itself is when the game closes of its own accord. Exactly how close, I have not been able to determine but it is definitely within 5 tiles. I have not tried other entities which are commonly used to create a path, e.g. Concrete and Refined Concrete.
