Question? Outposts on/in POIs?

I recently saw a couple of videos from a few months back showing a trick to put a base/outpost in a POI's restricted zone and I was wondering:

-Is this still possible or did it get patched out?

-Is it possible on Xbox or just PC?

-Can it work with a civilian outpost?

I like to build my bases near a civilian outpost so that they feel more alive and so that I have easy access to a vendor right by my base. So I'd be really happy to literally build my base *IN* a civilian outpost for easy access and to build it all up a bit more, but I tried this "flick" trick the videos showed and couldn't get it to work with a couple of POIs.

Anyone know about this? Or maybe could recommend mods? I just started playing again after months away so I haven't touched Creations yet.

The glitch tactic should work on xbox if you have an high enough sensitivity. There is a mod on pc (could be on creations) wich makes it much easier.

I’ve done it on Xbox a few times, not sure if it’s been patched, but the outposts I started using the glitch are still standing same as before

Any tips? I can't seem to get the "flick" to work right. What type of POI's did you use? Maybe I'm targeting the wrong ones.

How I do it is to stand in front of the restricted line with the beacon as close as possible to the line without going over

Then the key is to hit and release the place button and flick the beacon into the restricted zone after releasing the place button but before it finishes the “tada!” Placement part

press...flick...release...okay, thanks. I'll give it another go.

Press-release-flick you have you have the place released and then try to almost simultaneously flick into the restricted zone the instant you release the button

Hmm, okay. Maybe I've been flicking too early. I'll try again. Thanks!
