[2020] MOVED: Why won't land claim block set in random gen world?

Originally posted by Ryan8438: Just started my first random gen world, having fun, cleared POI to set up first base. But my land claim block won't set - just makes a weird twanging sound when I try with an accompanying graphics flicker. So after this POI resets, my base will be gone. Am I condemned to be a base nomad, moving every several days? Or have to build from scratch?

Any ideas how I can make the land claim block work?

Assuming that you’re in single player, you’re probably too close to a trader’s protected zone.

Also, you have full control over if and when a POI resets (again, in single player). If you don’t want it to reset, simply never activate a rally marker on the property. The LCB is more like an extra safeguard to catch you before you do this.
