Circumvent no-build radius for supply drops?
I just was wondering if there was a setting to disable the no-build radius for supply drops on an unofficial server.

I run an unofficial server for myself, just a private server, and the base I built on an island has a supply drop on it that obstructs my ability to build my dino courtyard wall and its a pain in the ass.

I just wasn't clear on whether this is able to be disabled/circumvented on an unofficial server, and if so, what setting needed to be changed to do so.

Thanks in advance. I realize there's a pretty good chance this is just static right now, with no ability to alter it but I wasn't sure since I'm kind of green at altering settings yet.

As a side note I use ASM to manage my server. Again, thanks in advance.

Such a dumb-ass decision by WC what was the main reasoning behind this dumb setting?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ preventing people from getting to supply drops.

But, as far as circumventing it, it might be possible with a mod. Though I don't think one has been made yet.

Yes, the setting is in the patch notes... lemme see here...
* Prevented building near supply drop points on PvE (unless ?PvEAllowStructuresAtSupplyDrops=true)

Put that in the Gameusersettings.ini I think, or as one of the ? launch lines.

Example:
start ShooterGameServer.exe "TheIsland?listen?ServerCrosshair=True?AllowThirdPersonPlayer=True?MapPlayerLocation=True?MaxStructuresInRange=100?PvEAllowStructuresAtSupplyDrops=true" -UseBattlEye

Alternately set your server to be pvp.

Naw it was pve actually. On PVP you can still build on the supply drop points. The decision is stupid I'll give you that, but it actually was for people who where purposely blocking off the supply drop spawns so only they could get to it, and it would only spawn at certain locations. Narrowing the possibilities to only a few spots they could get to it and would prevent other players from getting to

My mastercraft longneck I use for tranqing would beg to differ.

Are you on a modded server or are you talking sea crates the ones that drop from the air are worthless unless modded.

We do have mods, but none that affect the crates, and the longneck rifle can spawn in yellow or above loot crates that drop from the sky. Its fairly rare, mind, but it can.

Not sure why people can't figure out why they stopped building on drops on pve servers yup I have three that affect my base and community center I'm just thankful they did not auto dustruct around them. It is not
wildcards fault people go to pve and act like it's a war zone but at least they are finally getting around to trying to stop griefers
