How do I disable the inability to build where I want?
Playing on SINGLE PLAYER on the center, went to a place I remembered was a decent place last time I played; went to place a stone foundation to the message "Can't build here" or something similar.
I assume its to stop people from building near the nearby metal nodes. But I'm playing on SINGLE PLAYER set to PVE...

Oh whoops, I forgot I need to be considerate to those Pegos and give them access to the metal node I was building in a general (but not even close) vicinity to. My bad!

How do I disable this so I can build upon the land where I want to build?

Not sure where this setting is in Single player, took me a while to Figure out what was going on with mine as well, as I could not build near a water well.

I have a server Hosted by Nitrado, and I had to make sure to UNcheck

Enable Extra Structure Prevention Volumes :
Use this to completely disable building in specific resource-rich areas, in particular setup on TheIsland around the major mountains.

EDIT: found in my GameUserSettings.ini:

EnableExtraStructurePreventionVolumes=False

Also, if you want to Enable building near supply drops, Enable:

PvE Allow structures at supply drops
Allow building near supply drop points on PvE

EDIT: in GameUserSettings.ini as well:

PvEAllowStructuresAtSupplyDrops=True

Hope this helps

Thanks! Although I really shouldn't have to do this to be able to play the game my way in a singleplayer game.

I am playing on steam under host non dedicated and can't put foundations in water or can we not do that still?
