Structures that cause 'Enemy gate or foundation too close to build' pop-up

[Half_Decay]

I've played this game for a fair while now on multiple PVPVE servers, and I recently built a decent sized base close-ish to a base that used to be owned by my old tribe (until a merge glitch changed that). Was just wondering which are the structures that cause the enemy foundation/gate to close to build near dialog to pop-up, because from what I understand it is foundations and gates that cause this perimeter... Unsure if any other structures cause it, e.g. do pillars and/or walls on top of fence foundations? Any help or guidance would be appreciated :)

dude i have no idea about this either. it's pretty frustrating and nobody seems to have accurate info.

For example, people say that pillars don't stop resources from respawning, but still stop players from placing structures the same as a foundation would.

Then I built a pillar and put a wood roof on top and all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ resources stopped spawning in a huge circle around it.

same happened with water pipes. people said they don't block the spawns, but now nothing spawns in a huge radius along the pipeline. WHY.

also, why haven't the devs released an accurate tutorial about what effects different strucutres have? It's pretty ridiculous, ESPECIALLY when new players have no idea the trouble they are causing when they litter wood foundations and garbage everywhere stopping spawns.

It is any structure except maybe campfires/boxes. Any other structure you'll get this problem.

the problem is we don't know the exact distance.

Foundations blight everything a full 75 meter radius around it.

people SAY fence foundations are only like 15 meters, but I'm not sure about that.

people SAY the same about pillars (15 meters) but now I'm seeing full 75 meter blight around my damn pillar structure.

It's pretty annoying because I recenlty built a hidden treehouse from metal pillars becuase multiple people told me that pillars don't block tree/etc respawns. Now, i'm nervous as hell for some noob to come along and clearcut underneath it, exposing it all for everyone to see.

I HATE THIS BLIGHT GARBAGE. If I stop playing this game, it will be because of this.

pillars do not block the growth as a matter of fact we have used pillars in and around our base to allow our entire base to return to its original wild state (it looks beautiful) platforms foundations gates all stop resources though and its 75m

that's what another guy said, but it doesn't explain why a pillar with a cieling on top is blocking spawns.

also, what do you mean by platform? cieling? ramp?

Gates (or at least behemoth and metal ones) do not block resource spawns. We have metal nodes on the red obelisk mountain that spawn literally inside a few of our gates. It's kinda annoying, actually, because you have to open the gate in order to mine the node. Metal rocks have a strange hitbox.

Just seems that noone knows to be honest... Having to blow a full 8x8-10x10 stone base with at least 25-30 pillars is fun.. Grenades just seem pathetic, having to use at least 150 to just get the foundations was bad enough :'(

See I thought this too, I have my base ALL on pillars I don't use any foundations and I have no gates nearby. There is no respawn at all around the immediate area of my base. So I think there is an issue.

Putting a roof on it will do it. Just place single pillars to protect your resources from scored earth

A load of sh**e!! People have just planted tiny little walls/fences everywhere. I am sick of dying cause I can not build a fire anywhere in this game lol
