@DrwHem

where do i go to see these decay timers?

Use a repair hammer and look at everything.

[Abcsam]

Well i guess what i am asking is it working as intended?

[ExNihiloish]

No. It’s not. Hopefully soon.

[Abcsam]

SEVERE BUG: Disappearing items

Decay system is borked. I don’t know about disappearing items though.

Chests Disappearing

Hi I am having chests disappearing everyday…at first was not that bothered due to 8 may release day yipeee. However these disappearing chest are happening when I get things out and when I go back they are gone. So far today lost two and have been on for about 20 min. In total lost 9 chests since Saturday (New Zealand). I verified files numerous times. Uninstalled and reinstalled Conan same thing is happening. So its a major bug. Other players have the same problem and worse there stations are…

Chests Disappeared on PC

I notice that this has happened before after an update and well it has happened again for me. Pretty pissed as I had a lot of stuff disappear that was hard to find, makes me a bit bitter as we get closer to launch. It is not all my chests, it is just one or two and I can’t see a reason for it. Is this problem looking like it will be fixed? Or even why it happens?

Freestanding Wheels of Pain vanish when server restarts

Game mode: Private Server (Vanilla) Problem: Bug Both Wheels of Pain and Lesser Wheels of Pain that are placed without foundation under then vanish after a server restart. We do not have decay on, and there is no event log. Dont know if Greater Wheel of Pain is affected, but we expect so. Repro steps: Construct a Wheel of Pain Place Wheel of Pain directly on terrain without placing foundations first. Restart Server.

Vanishing items

I made a Furnace and Artisan table this morning. Tried to go to main menu and the game crashed. Logged in now and both the Furnace and Artisan table are gone. There was a nice little lootbag with the wood and iron that was in the furnace before login out.

I’ve seen quite a few more than this, too.

The launch build was mostly the same as what a lot of us were playing on weeks before official release. The testlive build. It was broken then, so it’s still broken.

[Abcsam]

so the first 3 are from two weeks ago before lauch the guy talking about wheels going poof said they dont have decay on so thats not a decay bug and the other guy is talking about a wheel to so i am assuming its all the same problem. I cant find any posts saying the timers are not working.

Decay timers Not FIxed among other things

The decay timers are not working i am staring at foundation spammed from trolls on day one and they only tick up in time not down. went from 2 hours to 42 in 5 hours, without them being int he area. only say to do it is to stare at it with a hammer to have the time tick down but it seems to reset on server restart back to 33.

Building abandonment issues

Hey Im having problems activating building abandonment on my server. When ever I activate and save it takes a few moments and all the buildings on the server explode and disapear. As a side note if anyone know how to make Time restricted PvP work on a PvE server It would be awesome.

Yeah I know there are more that talk about decay issues but sometimes people don’t use words to make them easily searchable.

[ExNihiloish]

Also, sometimes people have decay on and aren’t aware of it. In singleplayer/co-op, normal mode says decay is off by default, but it isn’t. So stuff starts disappearing for no apparent reason.

Here’s how it works, you spend hours or days harvesting and building, then while you’re asleep new players come and clog up the server population and either build crappy unimaginative box houses near you, or you cant get back into the server for days, and when you finally can get in, all your stuff has been demolished.

So, you go join a newer, less populated server, you spend hours or days harvesting and building, then while you’re asleep new players come and clog up the server population and either build crappy unimaginative box houses near you, or you cant get back into the server for days, and when you finally can get in, all your stuff has been demolished.

So you find a newer, even less populated server. you spend hours or days harvesting and building, then while you’re asleep new players come and clog up the server population and either build crappy unimaginative box houses near you, or you cant get back into the server for days, and when you finally can get in, all your stuff has been demolished.

So you just start playing solo until the new PVE conflict servers come out, and you hope upon hope that you dont spend hours or days harvesting and building, and while you’re asleep new players don’t come and clog up the server population and either build crappy unimaginative box houses near you, or that you can get back into the server and save your stuff from being demolished.

[ExNihiloish]

Yeah not being able to log in is a problem too.

[Abcsam]

Ok thanks guys think i got all the info i need

[Ran-san]

It WAS a Decay problem. I had set up my server prior to Launch Day, and when I wiped it for launch, it apparently reset the Decay settings. It defaulted to “on”, which wiped our freestanding wheels.

[nicky2tymes]

Does logging in reset decay timer? Or do you have to physically interact with each piece?

[Namilla]

I believe you have to come within range of the structure you built for the decay time to reset for the connected structure.

[Turkeysammich]

From what I’ve read, it starts to decay after an hour of not being around it, but I still havent been able to find out the rate or how close you have to be for it to reset.

[Masmassu]

I Thinks its repar hammed distans so to say…

[Turkeysammich]

What is the range that the timer starts to refresh? I read it was 200m, but also read that 1 foundation square is 1m, and a 200 foundation block radius is far to big and is not the correct distance.
