As a Solo Player took me pretty long with to be proud of my first Vault. So i placed it yesterday on ground lets say 4 foundations distance away from my temple.
Today i log in - Vault gone. I had of course placed valueable stuff, all t3 production in it.
Now it is gone.
What did i do wrong - or what did Funcom did do wrong. Because if it says - decay 300 hours then it should not be gone after 24 hours!
Server: Official 1069 PvP
did check Event-Log - no information.
Frustrated a little. Because many hours gone due to me not doing anything wrong.
Did the server crash soon after or did a restart? Maybe the Database did a rollback or just failed to save the game data properly but that’s just a wild guess.
Otherwise the decay system borked you over and it just vanished.
Well there is only one thing to say for sure, it’s gone with everything inside.
Did you place it on foundations or directly on the ground? You should always build things together With 8-10 other pieces, otherwise items might despawn. The reason for this is so that players don’t place one Foundation here and there to claim a huge amount of territory as a strategy against trebuchet attacks.
Because if i place it on Foundation on a PvP Server - they only destroy foundation below my Vault to destroy Vault itself.
So it counters the idea of having a 600 000 HP Vault if they only need for example to destroy the below 7000 hp Foundations.
Are you missing any sandstones nearby? Could be a purge. If you got purged, it may not list all structures a purge destroyed. Whats was the biom of the vault?
So based on Purge Wickipedia i should be totally save.
Purge level areas:
The severity of the purge depends on the area.[2] Depending on server settings the maximum purge level might be capped.
Purge Attacks - Jungle is Moderate - so T2 Buildings resist easy the Purges. And Vault is far more HP then T2 Building Parts.
1, 2 - Low difficulty in the area around the southern river. (resisted with T1 buildings)
3, 4 - Moderate difficulty in the central area of the map, as well as the Jungle biome. (resisted with T2 buildings)
5, 6 - High difficulty in the Highlands biome, Snow biome, and Volcano biome. (resisted with T3 buildings)
Buildings destroyed by Purge Enemies are logged in the Eventlog.
And you’re definitely not safe. That text is misleading, even a “low difficulty” purge can destroy T3 buildings. It just takes longer. Which won’t make a difference when you are offline.
I am willing to bet it just despawned due to lack of other structures. Place the foundation low, barely above ground, then place the vault on top. The foundations underneath will not be reached by much bomb damage. And even if some go, there will be enough for the vault not to despawn.
My Purges are imps attacking.
