Can building be enabled in Aberrations Red zone?
As the title says, I am wondering if there is any setting for unofficial servers that would allow for building in the Red zone.

So far I've tried adding the following to the Gameusersettings.ini, to no effect:
allowcavebuildingpve=true
overridestructureplatformprevention=true
pveallowstructuresatsupplydrops=true

Or would that go into just the Game.ini? Any help would be appreciated!

you can`t build in the red zone because of the radiation in Vanilla but maybe you can find a mod that makes it possible

allowcavebuildingpve=true: is for the caves where you can find relics
overridestructureplatformprevention=true: i think it allows you to use platforms more freely
pveallowstructuresatsupplydrops=true: just allows loot crates to spawn on your roof inside your base

I don't understand why we are being prevented from building at the "Ancient Device" region at the west end of the green zone. It makes no sense to me... because it is a great area to build but you can only build for a few yards into the very eastern entrance to the area.
This is the area where the huge emitter sits with a very large and long gantry leading eastward away from it... until it gets to an area at the blue zone where it becomes wrecked and twisted downward into the bowels of the map.
None of the known configuration commands seem to make any difference, unless one has been added that I am as of yet unaware of. I'm baffled.

hey dude try this in your gus ini

EnableExtraStructurePreventionVolumes=false

not sure if it works on abs

Good luck

Unfortunately, "EnableExtraStructurePreventionVolumes=" has no effect on building in the Ancient Device region. I set that to FALSE when I launched the first server in my cluster, and with each one since. I have no idea if it works for the Red zone.
I will cross my fingers for the OP.

Sadly, adding this did not allow building in the Red =(

They seem to be pretty determined to lock us out of doing whatever we want on our own servers.
I have noticed multiple changes from ASE to ASA. Things I could do in ASE but are locked out in ASA. The biggest ball-buster is the "whitelist" for assets on maps. If an asset isn't flagged for a map, you simply cannot spawn it on the map. PERIOD. It could be a blacklist, but the behavior is whitelist to my aging self.

In ASE at the launch of Aberration, I built my first place in that Ancient Device area, up on the upper ledge that runs around it. Now I can't. =(

Someone will hopefully create a mod to cancel that nonsense. =)

Here is the solution...

Open the Game.ini and add the following line under
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]:


bAllowBuildingInNoBuildZone=True


You should be able to build in the red area now.
