structure being blocked

[CM Gabriel Angelos]

hello i have a issue on abera where im being blocked from building in the most bottom part off the map( the actual underground with black pearls) and i have found out whats blocking me the rock drake nests are is there anyway too disable this blocking like with supply drops and the caves if so how

There is a command line argument for servers... ?EnableExtraStructurePreventionVolumes=true
which enables "extra" no-build zones around critical resources on a map. This was added to prevent players from building in important resource zones such as metal deposits, beaver spawns etc.

If you own the server or have admin rights, check if this argument is in the execution line of code for shhotergameserver.exe

If you are in single player, disable the feature in the options window.

I don't know if the rock drake nests areas are covered by this, but it's worth a try. Just remember to change it back if it doesn't woek.

if its the enable extra structure prevention volumes its already turned off since its not got a wing in the square and its both server and sp but im not admin on server so i wanted too find out if it would work on sp before i telll admin about it
but thanks for trying mate

Then it's not an option. You just aren't allowed to build there. They probably don't want players to just place an outpost and bed there for a quick safe zip trip to the bottom. Its why the devs "discourage" players from placing a hut with a bed, 12 turrets and a generator right next to the artifacts in caves.

Pick another spot, maybe a little farther away.

The whole lower section of Abs, right from the top of the ramp to the drake nests all the way down to the nests themselves, is all a no-build zone which is unaffected by the build zone configs. Which is a real shame, as there's some fantastic places to put a base down there. And it's not like it'd be easy to live there either, what with rads and drake swarms. For eg, I wanna put a base down here, but soon after taking the screenie I realised building was blocked:

The above being said, there's nothing stoping a player from building a mobile base on the back of a paracer (Abs ones are immune to radiation) and walking it down there. You'd need some strong predators with you to fight off rock drakes, but it could be done.

still really dont see how its any off WC's bussiness whether 1 build a base somewhere or not as long as its not a official server

If someone made an aberration map extension that disabled the no build area, if thats even possible, than that could be a potential fix for players wanting to live in the danger zone. I can see some reasons why WC made it a no build area but leaving us with no option to enable building for personal clients and servers is a little dumb in my opinion.
