Overide Structure Platform Prevention not working?
I've been trying to build auto turrets on my quetz's platform saddle. I've laid foundation but I can't get them to go. I've added "OverideStructurePlatformPrevention=true" to the servers gameusersettings.ini and went into the command line and made sure that the option was checked. But when I try and place the turret it says must be placed on floor. Anyone able to help?

Anyone got any ideas?

I am not sure if this will help as I have not tried it, but in the patch notes the first one the deves put was like this OverrideStructurePlatformPrevention=true it had two R's not one.
Edit: then the second one they put was OverideStructurePlatformPrevention=true the patch notes can be found here.

They misspelled Override and never corrected it..

if you type it like this OverrideStructurePlatformPrevention=true you can place a turret on the platform saddle I did, I tried it on the Quetzalcoatlus or Quetzal. Also I only tried this on single player.

Edit: I tried it with the minigun turret. Like GhillieInTheMist said it was misspelled, and not corrected.

Thanks guys. I went in, changed that and I'm rebooting the server now (Was watching UFC 200 so just now getting around to trying this)

Sorry Guys, I just tried the auto-turret with the OverrideStructurePlatformPrevention (2 r's), on a paracer platform and it doesn't work. This is after the flyer nerf, I was thinking of building a really quick paracer and give him a bit more D...

I just put "OverrideStructurePlatformPrevention=true" without quotes under [ServerSettings] in my GameUserSettings.ini on my dedicated ARK server and it fixed placing Turrets on my motorboat.

Note: You have to incorrectly spell Overide with two r's. ( Override)

**************Example**************
..\GameUserSettings.ini

[ServerSettings]
OverrideStructurePlatformPrevention=true

**************End Example**************

Current Version of my Server: V268.255

Props to Fleet Unity for the fix!

I dont think u need to add the line. There is one there already. Try removing yoir added line and finding the original. Change it instead

Ghost Feb 23, 2019 @ 11:22am 
Only if u have that setting enabled in the settings.

Just done this in my server settings because I am unable to put transporters on mountains. This isn't working for me

You guys are all dumb... You guys know that Override is correctly spelled with two "r"s right? Jesus...
