FlagrantVagrant Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 S+ building question, red indicator vs green indicator Not sure if it's an issue to post questions about this here, since it's about a mod, but it requires pictures to explain. I'm not sure this is a mod issue or just a building game issue, maybe having to do with map design and the ground. No clue. maybe someone has a better idea as to why I can build in one place but not right next to it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even tore down part of the wall and built in a different direction hoping to avoid whatever is in the ground preventing me from placing supports.

Volunteer Moderator GP Posted June 19, 2020 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted June 19, 2020 Are you building in a spot near where a supply drop comes down, or near an obelisk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on The Island map, around 70lat 33lon, on flat area overlooking the swamp and the redwoods. I have never seen a drop there, though there are drops to the east of that position, but they are quite the distance away. I play Single player- local/host setup. I did a 'cheat ghost' and there was nothing under the ground to interfere with building. Is there anyway to see if drops happen there, some command that indicates where drops are located?

Volunteer Moderator GP Posted June 19, 2020 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted June 19, 2020 You can look at this map, although doesn't look like any supply drops, but possibly explorer notes. https://ark.gamepedia.com/Explorer_Map_(The_Island) You could also try putting this in your GameUserSettings.ini file under [ServerSettings]. PvEAllowStructuresAtSupplyDrops=true Then go back into the game and see if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlagrantVagrant Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 LOL beat you to the link! ill try that setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlagrantVagrant Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 The setting made no difference. If i remove the supports, i can place a foundation anywhere in the same area. I"m just trying to avoid having to deal with foundations for a fence if I can, and since the ground is uneven I'd rather use the fence supports vs the fence foundation.

Then in that case I only have one more suggestion. Assuming, as you are using S+ that you have no foundation support required set as true? If so that will mean you can have a wall hanging there attached to the next wall. So I would suggest trying this: Place a ceiling on the end wall you have now, then place a ceiling next to that so that it covers the area you are trying to put the fence support, then put a wall underneath. Then remove the ceilings. That will hopefully resolve that issue, and maybe keep doing that until you can place fence supports again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using S+ as it is and have made no intentional changes other than your suggestion from earlier. I tried your method, and while i was able to put down a subsequent wall, i was unable to attach a support to that wall. Any manner and means of attaching walls, pillars and foundations didn't result in anything useful. So i decided to let S+ fate do what it wants and built part of a wall based on what S+ fence foundations would allow in this ridiculous situation, as you can see in the attached image. Every nonsensical angle is the only one of a couple of choice angles at that point. I was hoping to avoid building the entire thing upon a foundation, but it looks like that is my only option since S+ is not playing nice with the terrain. The red line indicates the starting wall.
