Recently encountered a series of events that lead me to believe buildings built in admin mode using ‘no building costs’ will not trigger the purge in single player.
- Built a base with cost. Purge started as expected. Decided to move and deleted the original base using admin commands.
- Built a series of large T3 bases around the map. Three of them were built with cost, two of them with ‘no building cost.’
- Bases built with cost triggered a purge when I was close by, bases built with ‘no building cost’ would not trigger a purge when I was close by.
- With full purge bar, waited around for at least an hour at ‘no building cost’ base with purge not starting. Visiting a base built with cost started the purge immediately.
- With full purge bar at ‘no building cost’ base, using admin commands to start purge does nothing.
- ‘No building cost’ buildings were built with at least 300 T3 building pieces, definitely big enough for the purge to recognize.
- Removed 150+ T3 foundations from ‘no building cost’ base and replaced them with cost. Same results, purge will not start.
- Deleted all bases except the largest (built with ‘no building cost’). Same results, purge will not start at ‘no building cost’ base.
- Disabled all mods, no result.
- Started new game, built same base in same location using stacks instead of ‘no building cost,’ purge started with no issue.
