Wouldnt it be a good idea that if the ground lit up i slight hint of a colour where you trying to place a camp down. Or even a scanning device to shows where it is fesable to place one .

Nothing more anoying than running 3 miles away from your mission just to find a spot to place a camp, and even then you still not be able to place one.

is there something i dont know or is it everyone has this problem ???

You have to place the camp at least 1km out of the city, soI think that means 1 km from where it says "you have left (place city name here)". If you are really far away from the town, see if there are any buildings near you, you have to be about 100m away from anyother buildings, i am not sure about harvesters, I think it is the same. So when you run to place a camp make sure you are running away from civilization, your a scout, it doesn't take a lot of survival skill to "survive" less that a KM away from town . I hope this helped

You have to be at least 1000 meters away from the city limits. You can set a camp up to within 25 meters of another structure. I know I set up a camp amid some harvesters and it worked fine.

You also need to be on somewhat level flat groun. You can't setup camp on a hill, or really lumpy ground.

Also, you can put upcamp right next to harvesters. I have camped amongst a cluster of them. I think players buildings dont count, because a camp is a player building. It's only game buildings, such as bases, and caves you cant camp next to.

Some cities have larger no build zones then others.. Dearic on Talus for example, if you are on Talus.. move to corellia.. Talus is not a starting planet, really tough to get boot strapped there.. My first char i started there was having such a hard time making money.. move to corellia and boom things were so much eacher.. from camps to making money.

Ground really doesn't have that much to do with it, just as long as you are not on an extreme slope of a mountain. Typically, the game will level out the ground beneath you when you place the camp.
