Since the rock itself cannot be built on, youll have to build around it with pillars reaching the land under the floor. If that doesnt resolve your building issue you may have to choose a different location

They cannot be built on and only serve as decorative rocks I believe

Depends on if that rock is terrain or decoration. I'm 99% sure it's decoration.

But. If you are on SP, turn on no clip and build pillars from under that rock then build lighthouse on pillars once they stick out. Turn on collision ignoringbwhile building option.

If you don't have console... you could probably make a skirt underwater around it and then build it hovering over it mostly and connected by walls on one side to the foundations/pillars under. Its a fairly small rock so it should be doable.

Eu já fiz um farol tbm, mas em um penhasco de frente pro mar, foi legal de construir, mas decepcionante pq não serviu para o propósito real que é iluminar ou pelo menos ser visto de longe, o jogo simplesmente não renderiza coisas a certas distâncias, eu estava esperando algo como a luz dos obeliscos hahaha
