Clipping NPC Animals Killing My Followers

Clipping mammoths kept lagging into my base, I didn’t realize it until now when I noticed my Blacksmith bench said to acquire a thrall, and I was unable to do anything about it a few days ago, a mammoth killed my T3 Blacksmith… found it in the log, fortunately, I was able to get her back, but if this keeps happening, Funcom is going to start respawning my followers that I now have to keep an eye on because they don’t just work at their benches anymore, they wander around.

Single or multiplayer?

Multiplayer on an official PvE server

So first, FC won’t replace anything on Officials regardless if bugs are the cause.

If you don’t care for LS (I don’t) then lock them up. You can place them in encased 1x1s. Turn everything off for thralls; benches, doors, furniture, etc.,… then they’ll remain stationary. If you add layers or put them on a second floor, they should remain relatively safe.

There’s a few other things you could do but this should be the best workaround for now until Inflexion is able to fix the clipping/going through doors (known issue).

Which is a shame, if the cause is their bugs, they should do just that…

Well, I used to like leaving my benches running when I’m not online, etc. so I don’t have to wait once I get back online. Right now, I have the doors locked so they can’t go in and out of doors on their own. So far, I’ve built a huge wall around my base to keep the mammoths outside the wall, more or less. So far, it’s been working.

Yea, I might have to size up my second floor and move everyone upstairs behind a locked door.

They will keep your benches running, their effect is ranged now.

So basically, what I should do is put them in a locked room like a jail cell. lol
