Console Error/Vanishing Placements

Multiple instances of players placing objects and them vanishing when attempting to place - I finally caught the console error below when it happened to someone placing a recycler. Seems to have only started after the October update.

I noticed few more people reporting same thing unfortunately I'm not able to replicate this on my test server, this is 3rd time I'm testing it and every single item from default config is working just fine.  Unless someone can provide me with access to server where this is happening I can't really do much. 

Changed Status from Pending to Can't Reproduce

Same happening here David. I can't replicate it either, it's completely random. Only things to go on are the different terrains players placed on and that the server saved just moments afterwards. I'll keep trying to find some commonality between reports but so far I've got nothing just yet. 

Mine's happening with minicopters:

Same issue......this has worked with no issue for almost 2 years....
On 5 attempts, 2 succeeded and 3 failed with this exception when placing.

When the error happens, the exception is throwing at this line:

       if (placeable[item.name].NeedsTCAuth)

========================

When placing a craftable water pump from CraftMenu - here is the config from CraftMenu Blueprints.json:
 

"box.wooden": {
      "Name": "Placeable Water Pump",
      "Image": "waterpump.png",
      "SkinID": 2682449233,
      "Category": "construction",
      "Tier": 2,
      "ResearchCost": 300,
      "Resources": {
        "valve2": 1,
		"fluid.switch": 1,
		"wood": 600
      } 
  }

And PlaceAnything - Entities.json:

"Placeable Water Pump": {
    "BaseItem": "box.wooden",
    "SkinID": 2682449233,
    "Prefab": "assets/prefabs/deployable/playerioents/waterpump/water.pump.deployed.prefab",
    "NeedsTCAuth": true,
    "CanBePickedUp": true,
    "AdjustHeight": 0.0
  }

Well it's mystery for me as well why all of the sudden it's throwing random errors meanwhile I can't replicate it on my server at all. I added catch method so when error does happen, item will be refunded back to player so they can try placing it again. Unfortunately that's all I can do for now.
