Dedicated Server Settings - Allow Building in Supply Drop Location?
I'm trying to locate the setting that would allow me to build near a supply drop location. I built a base. Something changed and now I can't build in half my base because there is a supply drop location nearby. "Too close to supply drop location" is the message.

I tried making supply drop locations spawn at random points. I allowed placing structures that clip, but no luck.

Anyone know? I've been reviewing these settings here: https://survivalgamingclub.com/ark-survival-ascended-server-configuration/

PvEAllowStructuresAtSupplyDrops=true
PvPAllowStructuresAtSupplyDrops=true

In your GameUserSettings.ini you can have both in there even if your server is one or the other, or just add the one you need 😉

For single player on XboxSX this worked for me.
>GAME RULES>World>PVE Mode OFF
Not sure if that is the same here on Steam.

hello for these two command lines:
PvEAllowStructuresAtSupplyDrops=true
PvPAllowStructuresAtSupplyDrops=true

in the ini file below which line should I put them? thanks

put them in your gameusersettings.ini under server settings... yes it actually worked... i did it after the patch from yesterday... works just fine... where i could not put down foundations i had no problems after that in SP... im thinking it could also work in the nitrado servers also if put in right place.

When modifying the ini files, MAKE SURE your server is down when you do that, because the server will constantly overwrite the ini files while it's running.

This worked for me! Thanks for the assistance.
