I had to go out at least 1800 m from Kor Vella to place my harvester, before I got clear of the "Building is not permitted here" message. It'd be nice to have a survey tool to check for where you can build.

kasuta, don't you wish we'd had access to that building distribution map sooner?

Personally, I'm just puzzled why Theed and Keren on Naboo appear to be the only cities that have a rectangular exclusion zone, rather than the circular zone every other city appears to have....

Yep, Kor Vella has a large no-build zone. Check out that map of the building distribution that they just put up on the main website. At any rate, the building is not permitted message definitely means you are not far enough away from the town.

Although it will usually say "Cannot build close to spawn." There's also a no build zone close to most shore lines. If you see stuff built near the water, chances are they took the only spot(s) available.
You also need semi-flat land to build on. I'm all for an actual Land Survey tool so we can tell where we can build without having to run all over the place and get:

You cannot place a structure in your current state.
You cannot place a structure in your current state.
Building is not allowed here.

Worse yet is when you go into the placement mode and there's no where you can build!

I think if you cannot build due to a nearby spawn, it's not that you will get a message, but that the area will be yellowed out.

Flatfingers, I actually don't mind the building distribution, fortunately I've found a little spot where pretty much only I can build so it's kind of secluded, which I like. But I was shocked to see on that distribution map that someone had actually built farther west than me--apparently way back into the mountains! I give that person two thumbs up for finding that spot.

Don't you just hate it when you find a 75% resource concentration and can't deed a harvester, because you get this message?

Well i do. I can understand the cap for buildings to prevent player cities from spawning near an NPC city, but this cap is too high for harvesters. It is currently at 1km if i recall correctly. How about changing this to 300m for harvesters? That way people will be able to mine higher concentrations of resources more often, because it seems like SOE likes to place the highest concentrations near NPC citiesmost of the time.

This would also mean there would be more available of each resource, thus the prices will go down and we'll get a more stable economy.
