Can't place wood ceiling: can't place on floor

[Bryson]

I run into an issue with building my base on singleplayer. The above message is coming and I don't get what it means. I could build on the floor and placed some bed etc on it before but since the last patch it is not possible anymore.

I thought it might be the maximum amount of structures but 1. isnt there another message coming? and 2. I put it up from 6000 to 8000 structures so this should be fine.

Anyone an idea what else this message means?

if you are running any mods that are not updated then you can have this problem

Normally you are not supposed to put ceilings on the floor, that's what foundations are for. If you are running a mod that enabled you to do so, go ask the mod creator directly.

You are building on a beacon zone, it has a huge radius, you can't place anything close to a beacon zone since last patch(you can disable this if you are running your own server or singleplayer, if you got the issue on official = good luck looking for another place to build)

O.o You've always been able to place ceilings as a floor. That's how so many of us build on uneven ground.

[SourPatchRedd]

which ini is that?

[Bryson]

in singleplayer the game.ini which is in the ark folder HD-name:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\windowsnoeditor

I did this and also:

(Disable PvE)

I don't really care if my singleplayer is PvE or PvP. That worked for me.

Still don't get why PvE/PvP has any influence on where i am allowed to build (especially in SINGLEPLAYER - default disable all restrictions!) but its working now.
