are you right next door to a trader? Sometimes they overlap with the trader protection zone. If so simply walk away with it active til it turns green then place it so it covers your base still.

I guess I was. Problem fixed. The trader protection zone seems larger than before. huh. Thanks for the idea.

you can lower the land claim dead zone as well. this will allow you to place your land claim closer to the trader.

It's more that the traders in general are closer to town now so it's more likely you'd run into the issue., They used to be off in the woods by themselves.
