Illegal building constructions and Avatar Summoning re-enabled - Feedback and questions thread

@Thefuzzygrundle

NOONE HAS SAID THEY WERE ILLEGAL. ARE UNDER WATER VAULTS GOING AWAY AS WELL?

There’s no mention anywhere of vaults or underwater structures being affected. So no, they’re not targeted.

@TINK

When you say honeycombed have you used fence foundations in a cross ? This patch is going to hit my clan pretty hard too we have lots of reinforced walls but I understand why they are doing it

This is one of the main applications we’ve seen of this extra socket in fence foundations and it caused a lot of troubles regarding performance. Which is why it made it also very useful in defense situations. Apologies for the destruction, but we had to do something about it.

@TINK

Why does no one care there are tokens with no timers on still floating around servers?

Token timers will not be able to be cheesed either once the next patch hits live. You can check the full patch notes here.

@zerog

By the sounds of it, just the pieces inside of foundations will be nuked, so most structured should stay intact if held up mostly by the foundationd

Exactly.

@Thefuzzygrundle

Anything attached to that honeycombed foundation will be destroyed. Including the regular foundations.

That is not what it’s going to happen. Please check the announcement here.

@WhatMightHaveBeen

That is false. They are correcting a bug that allowed pieces to share a spot, and that was causing the server to crash via figuring out which one really should be there, and which should be destroyed. Yes, a side effect is it reduces the HP needed to get thru the same amount of space. But it is a correction to a bug, not a malicious nerf.

Yup.

@zerog

What are the accuracy changes?

You can check them out here.

I don’t know if this has been answered, but how about some tools for admins on PC and console? I would like to be able to knock down a base with a command or whatnot.

On PC and Xbox (with a keyboard plugged) you can destroy a cluster of pieces as an admin by aiming in their general direction and press Shift + Delete, or Ctrl + Shift + Del for increased radius. You can also look at one of the pieces, open the console command and type in BuildingIdentify. Then write down the building ID listed in the input console and type in BuildingDestroy <id>, where <id> is the number you got from the previous command.
