my CAMP is blocked by another person :(

[Wastelander_76]

It say my CAMP is blocked by another person.I played without problem this game until today when suddenly my CAMP dissaperead with message: The CAMP is curently active ,CAMP is blocked by another person.
If i restart the game and come back in a few hours, i can recover my base or i must build another base in other place of the map?My CAMP was placed near the Gilman lumber Mill location.
Where is the best location of the map to build CAMP without having problems like this??Can you suggest me?
thanks,

What it means is that another player already on the server you are joining has their own camp in the same location as yours. Both camps cannot exist at the same time.

What you can do is either change servers to try to get your camp to spawn or just keep playing and not worry about it for now. When that player quits you can then place your camp.

Also try not to build in popular areas like nearby to the Wayward as this will increase the likelihood of someone else building in the same spot. Also we can now have multiple camps. So have a second camp built in another location and switch to that one if your first camp is blocked.

When the message pops up it will ask if you want to move your camp for free. Do not click yes. Always click no. By clicking yes your camp will get packed up and made into a blue print that will be all but impossible to place down again in a different location.

The blocked message appears when you join a world where someone already has their camp in the same spot as your active camp. Provided you don't move your camp module, your camp will appear just as it was the moment you join a new world with that spot free (usually as simple as quitting to the main menu and joining a world again).

As for the best place to not get blocked, usually anywhere not near vault 76 or the general whitesprings area of the savage divide will be free.

Which means go back to the menu screen and enter the world again.

Or, Activate your second Free C.A.M.P. and hopefully that is not blocked. A Fallout First Tent or someone camp could be on or near you camp, you have 2 free slots, and if you did the Free Vault Shelter Quest, that works with all your camps. You can change camp slots, between slot 1 & slot 2, and not have to move your camp. You can change between the 2, after a few minutes. But, if you put down the C.A.M.P. object with the slot that is blocked, then you will have to reset up your camp. Just Activate your Second slot, and find a less used area. Put up what you need, or just duck into your shelter. Build out as you have the resources. Camp slot selection is on the Map Screen, in the upper left.

You can minimize by sticking to out-of-the-way less-traveled places, avoid mining deposits and world event areas, etc. One of my least-blocked camps is nowhere near any world location, which actually makes it convenient for fast travel, but it is near that crashed vertibird in the very far north of the SD/Mire border region, so even that gets blocked occasionally.

Even what you think are the most out-of-the-way places will have someone else building there, so best to just deal with it - swap camps or hop servers.
