I have no doubt there are people who already know this. I did not, and I'm sure there are plenty of other people who don't know this either. I purchased a base bank amenity. Claimed it in the store. Selected it to activate it under my base items list. Went to my base, but it didn't show up under decoration mode. After going back and forth on a ticket for the issue, posts on Facebook, and messages on Twitter to the Daybreak Help team, it was finally discovered that I had to put the bank on one of those special purple circles (when free placing items ISN'T unlocked). Like I said above, I am sure tons of people out there already knew this, but I'm sure there are also plenty of people who don't. My suggestion is in the item description to simply state to place the item in the purple circles in your base.
Personally I feel like the Bank and all other amenities should be able to be placed anywhere like you can do with Armories.
I still cant beleive they sell the amenities when we had to fight to get the collections for them. But it would be nice to place them anywhere. But would prolly mess with the limit on how many you can put out
I agree. There was nothing in the item description saying you were limited to using the purple circles.
One of the replies I got when I put in a ticket was indeed that you're limited as to how many amenities you can have in your base.
