Game mode: Private
Type of issue: Bug
Server type: PvP
Once a player’s base is protected from damage via the dynamic building damage system, the protection is not removed until a server restart occurs.
- Configure your server to allow for PvP and building damage to occur with no time restrictions.
- Configure your server to use the new Dynamic Building Damage feature with a period of 1800 seconds.
- Create two accounts using the steam family share feature.
- Log into account A, build a base and give yourself a minion you can set to guard out front. I recommend a feral dog named Dogmeat.
- Switch (log out of A and log into B) to account B and position the character close to the base of account A.
- Give account B some bombs as you’ll need those to test later.
- Switch to account A and run around a bit just to make sure the game knows you logged in.
- Switch to account B. Run over to the base of account A and attempt to face-punch the minion. It attempts to kill you.
- Run away and hide.
- Set a timer and wait for thirty minutes while remaining logged in.
- Run back to the base of account A and attempt to face-punch the minion. It no longer attempts to kill you and you can punch it in the face with no consequence.
- Place and detonate a bomb on the front door of the base. It does no damage to the base or the minion, but does damage the avatar of account A (this is fine).
- Run away and hide.
- Switch back to account A.
- Run around a while so the server knows you logged in.
- Switch back to account B.
- Run back to the base of account A.
- Interact with the minion again. It still does not kill you and more face punching can occur.
- Run away and hide.
- Restart the server.
- Log back into account B.
- Run back to the base of account A and attempt to face-punch the minion. It tries to kill you.
- Run away and hide.
- Run back to the base, place a bomb and detonate it. Note with satisfaction that the base is damaged by the bomb.
- Run away and hide.
- Send private messages to account A calling them a scrub and telling them they suck for building a base that was such an EZ raid.
