In general, deployables inherit the mode of the building zone they are placed within, and anything placed outside a building zone has no mode, which means it doesnt have protection and whatnot. One of the reasons for this is it makes it clear if a trap is dangerous or if a container can be looted, because if its not in a building zone its free game. The other reason is because if everything was protected, then no one would be able to destroy things and things would linger for a long time.
Now in your case, you have a plugin that lets people claim areas without a TC priv. Does the plugin that provides this feature have an API? If so, I could maybe pull that info instead of TC info in your case.
Also, can you share on more info on "all other extensions are throwing errors"? Do you have WarMode installed and do you have the latest version of all of the extensions?
