Psure this just happens in lawless. I have the opposite problem. I built a nice treehouse outpost next to some trees that actually did kinda look like an extension of those trees. Then a server update happened and despawned those trees. Now my outpost looks kinda awkward and stands out.
I'd be really happy with something in between consistent for both types of zones, where resources/spawns only get cancelled by building directly on top of them.
