Can't Pick Up Auto-Turrets/Traps/Etc. Outside of Land Claim Zone?
Solo offline game. I am noticing after I build a blood moon base outside my now exclusively storage and crafting stations base that I cannot pick up blade traps, auto turrets, etc. They are fully repaired and I cannot get the option to pick them up on the hold button action.

is this really a thing or is my game bugged? I can pick up all these items in my land claim zone without a problem. On my outlying base I can pick up robotic sledge turrets just fine though.

You can only pick up workstations and electrical items inside your land claim zone.

The robotic sledge can be placed and picked up anywhere.

If your crafting base is self-built or a very small poi, you can just leave your sleeping bag there and keep your land claim block at your horde base. The sleeping bag prevents sleeper respawns as well, but the area is smaller. A base you built yourself won't need sleeper respawn protection, and a small poi should be covered by your sleeping bag.

If your crafting base is inside a medium to large poi that you cleared, placing a land claim at your horde base may mean you get sleeper respawns at your crafting base that you will need to clear when you go back.

These two bases are right next to each other and the initial base is an appropriated POI house in a town whereas the blood moon based is in the next door yard space between another house.

Can I just shift land claim blocks as needed? I don't need to do this a lot on my Bm base since I'm only still just perfecting my prototype design and may need to shift things around a bit in order to try and better perfect things.

Yes, you can shift whenever you like. When you place a new claim block at your horde base the first one will deactivate. It will still be there, but it's broken and can be easily removed. When you want to shift back, just place a new claim block and the horde base block will break.

As seven said, you can shift whenever you like.

As i said earlier, if the poi you converted into your crafting base is not small, you may have to clear sleepers again in your crafting base after placing the land claim block at your horde base.

Depending on just how close together they are and on how large they are, it is possible you may be able to cover both with one claim block.

Go to the multiplayer settings before you load in the next time and increase the claim size to the max. If you hold either e or r (can't remember which) while looking at the land claim block, it will have an option to see the boundaries of it.

If the 2 bases are very close and not too large, put a claim block between them before you put it at the horde base. Turn on the boundaries and see what's covered. If you don't have enough coverage, just drop it at the horde base as planned to move stuff around.

Ok thank you for your replies. I have it figured out now. I didn't try to increase the land size yet but I will probably just go with that next time.
