Crafter Thralls disappering / dying in homebase

Platform: Steam
Issue Type: Gameplay
Game Mode: Online Official
Server Type: PvE
Map: Isle of Siptah
Server Name: #6423
Mods: =MODS=

I have been playing on the official Isle of Siptah server #6423 for a while now and I have been loosing crafting thralls every day, even if I am not online.
It was happening at my starting base location (m10), and its happening at my main base location (l11) aswell which doesnt have any camps or major enemys nearby.
To make sure its not mobs wandering into my base I placed fighters at every mob spawn location around. All the crafting thralls have been equiped with good armor and starmetal weapons.
One of the thralls lost was a t4 - lvl 20 blacksmith that would be able to clear out a camp on its own.
Especially on Siptah where its quite hard to get your hands on a t4 crafter as a solo, this is quite frustating. Sadly I can not give any more information as the Event log doesn’t show the cause or location of the death.

Thanks for the help in advance.

P.s. there also are no player bases around so another players purge could cause this.

Hi and welcome to the forums :slight_smile:
Sorry to hear this is happening to you (as well) - this seems to be a major ongoing bug with the Living Settlements system. A lot of people are reporting the same sort of experience you are having. Hopefully Funcom is working on a fix (it can be hard to tell, so it’s worth every report that gets made). In the meantime, you may be interested in adding your voice to the unnofficial petiton to get Living Settlements turned off on official servers (again) until the problem is actually fixed. If so you can find it in the thread here.

Is the error code 2 ? At the end of death message ?

Didnt notice any death messages, I noticed the crafters missing when I used the benches again. The event log doesnt have any error code it just says crafter xyz died.

Mine often say something like “… died (2)” Have now lost 12 crafters (mostly named because what other type is there lol) and my level 20 Cim Zerker (first thrall I got on the server and my favourite) on one server and others on 2 other Officials . I’m not putting any more decent thralls out till they turn Living Settlements OFF. Far out Funcom, how much pain do you want to cause your community instead of just unchecking that box on official servers? It is not hard. DO IT.

the same with me. ofiicial server. it’s really sad, you invest your time and resources and after 2 days later the new craft slave is gone. even the older ones disappear little by little without a trace. so it’s no fun and I’ll distance myself from the game for now, otherwise you’ll only be annoyed when you log in that 5 slaves have died at the same time for no reason.

Try this fix

It should help

Unfortunately they are dying on ground floor, first floor, second floor with walls, even in rooms without doors and windows… I had bad experience with my taverna on Siptah beach - lost every T4 here, lost a bunch of T3. After i got new T4 crafters i imprisoned them into window-/doorless tower with elevator and tadaa - Io the Mad died today! No clue what else i can do to save them.
Edit: it is official game server, of course.
