Bug: base kit stuck on "overlapping object can't place"

[Bio[redacted]]

For some weird reason my game won't let me place my base anywhere because it's "overlapping" and object, but I've tried placing it everywhere and it doesn't seem to work. I've placed placing it on a flat surface, at higher elevation, at lower elevation, an empty surface, away from any story objects, a few hundred meters away from where I planned, but its seems to be broken.

Having the same issue. Cannot get far in the game if you cannot even start a base :(

It can be the base building on uneven environments but, try turning the base building sideways. Sometimes when it's facing towards you your character is counted as in the way. It's a lot more placeable if you rotate it sideways due to the area it overlaps with your character. Hopefully they change that eventually.
Also...doesn't always seem to be an issue like when I first placed it, but after that it had to be sideways for me

some locations can't be built on, there was a day 1 patch that made it so certain areas can't be built on because it will block a spawn like a boss for example. Or if it's too close to certain nodes.
