No warning, wait half my base is gone!

Hello Everyone,

We need a message to appear when our thralls and animals are getting killed! This should be a warning system for us when people are trying to raid us.

You could also make a warning appear if people build close to your land claim or if people loot your stuff but that might be to much.

What do people think about this?

Sounds okay to me. Chances are you’re going to be too far away. You will still get a warning in that case. It’s hard to code it otherwise afaik.

This would be a bad idea in my opinion, because a warning on

  • building too close to your land claim can be abused to reveal other player’s bases.
  • looting your stuff would remove a stealth element which people may like.

I would prefer some kind of special thrall which runs to his master when a base on the other side of the map is under attack. including a distance related delay. I’m not a fan of none immersive stuff like popups or notifications of events which are happen miles away.

no. with such a message it is way to easy to spot other players. I’m also not a fan of the landclaim message with player names you can see if you run over the map with a foundation place brush

same as the first point. if you have a thrall nearby the thrall should inform you. no thrall → no warning because no one saw the theft

Yeah, i can definitely see some good points there :slight_smile:

I just want to point out that in all other survival building games you do get a warning when your animals or creatures get killed. You even get the players name on your screen when some one kills one.

We have one. The tattle tale event log you can use to drill down what base if you use it right. Just have to be persistent in checking it if you are on PVP. Purge gives 10 minute warning. So no, no more warnings please. It is bad enough if i accidentally hit triangle running by an open fish farm that a war starts for the 50 fish i took out of 1000 they have not even harvested their selves.
