Valguero castle
Please make this area buildable! yes, you can build on top of castle and towers but all that interior space, a lot of it with the house buff already applied, is completely wasted. it is not a cave entrance and completely empty of spawn points for anything. seriously thought the devs designed the place for us to build at till i tried building inside :(

I agree with this sentiment. All those fancy ruins should be open playground for the imaginative.

Yes, it does make it so others cannot visit them. But I am will to give it up on official because the benefit. I will never claim these. But to know someone got to build on one makes me happy.

BETTER ONE OF US GET IT THAN NONE OF US

There are also many of us playing solo on dedicated servers due to SP bugs where someone claiming a special location isn't an issue...

and you can still claim everywhere except the inside and have exclusive access to that castle (there are actually random spots inside where you can place a single foundation so can even turret the interior) :/ very weird.

wow, many thanks! This makes a massive improvement to building in general, all the places at my base where it didn't make sense that i can't build are all buildable too now and so is the castle as far as i checked so far XD any risks, dos or don'ts with that setting turned on? this seriously improves gameplay, thanks again :)

btw, putting it in Game.ini was sufficient in my case.

the only downside i see is you can now clip things in other things like putting a smithy in a wall but as long as you pay attention i dont see any issues with it

That happens regardless of settings.

Yup there are more than enough mesh holes already on Valguero. Changing the terrain collision on/off won't mean a thing.
