Do fishtraps decay?

Just wondering if fish traps decay since there is a cluster of 20 by New Asguard on our official server that have been abandoned since the end of May and have never decayed. The clan was gone within the first month and these things never decay.

yes they do and no they Don’t.
yesterday i went on collecting my fishes at the mounds and half of my traps were missing while the other half was still there but with 0 fish in any of the remaining traps, It’s a proof they should have disappeared as well and as they haven’t they’re now bugged imo.

Just want to precise these traps were placed there 2 days ago and they were already decaying at the end of the first day. No foundations were placed underneath.
So it’s hard to answer your question with accuracy, see.
In theory yes they do decay apparently, but in practice several hidden factors might be involved like with many other weird things in this game anyways.

On the official PVE (oceanic) that I play on, yes fish traps decay. I’ve not yet seen any that have remained from clans and individuals who have long abandoned the server.

However, you are not the only person who has posted on the forums that they have witnessed fish traps belonging to clans/individuals persisting long after the clan/individual has stopped logging into their server.

So yep they are bugged … I suggest that you provide to funcom the server ID and ingame co-ordinates - which you can get by with the key combination: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+L …and once you have copied the co-ordinates repeat that key combination to get them off your screen so you can play normally. And perhaps a screen shot if you can take & link it. This way Funcom will have a specific location to look into to figure out why the code is breaking for some fish traps but work for most others.

Fish traps and palisades will never decay if a building is erected close to them after the base of their original owner has decayed.

aw that really sucks

yep same here, placed 20 fish traps and next day half gone

to get them to stay longer make a small building close to them, so the fish traps share the building’s decay timer. Just by themselves they have a short decay timer (eg 24-36 hrs or less) even if a lot of them together.
