Official , buildings are auto refreshing even when there is no clan members online

NO MODS,
official server

went to a base that belong to clan EMAB and i saw how the timer refreshed in front of my eyes, i quickly opened the player list and there was no one online from that clan. .

no idea what causes it. i got

not sure if it is related to vaults in the area, (this guys has tons of vaults.
i have seen other bases decay. now my question is… what is causing it to auto refresh?

Seems to be refreshed by anyone. Same thing on 2 PVE servers I’m on.

Yeah this is a very old issue which has never been looked into. And most likely never will. You have to work with it sadly.

Greetings Exiles,

Can you, please, name some servers where you have found this behavior to be happening?

If there’s a video where our development team can verify this, please share it as well.

Thank you in advance!

Yes, and it’s not new, I noticed it a few months ago ( and I think someone already reported it here).
When I was looking for a new place for a new (smaller) clan base in the Highlands, I stopped looking at the timer when checking out potential locations, and just check them once a week to see if the bases were still there or not.

I Will try to record this

I have seen this happening on 6157 and 1930. Both servers i play on

This has been happening a lot on official 1511 as well.

I don’t know what proof can be provided, a video or screenshots of a base reading 480 on the hammer then show the player list lacking any of the owning clan?

I could easily overload you with this information, it’s happening a lot. Meanwhile it doesn’t touch some bases, just saw a major one decay 2 days ago.

I don’t know how to repro. But i Will keep an eye.

What information you need besides a video?

Clan name , time and date . Server name ? I’ll truñu collect as much as possible

It’s just a hunch i have, but i had a thought the other day that it may have to do with either a bug affecting processing stations from time to time (Tanning Racks, Campfires, Wheels of Pain) where they upon activating suddenly convert everything in the inventory as if they were running since last use, including accounting for spoilage of the output product (try it with seeds+fibres, for example. I instantly made 300 spoiled gruel and an uncountable amount of regular gruel the other day), or the spoiling of items in building pieces’ inventories.

Items in player inventories when logged off only spoil when another player comes into rendering distance, rendering the player and their inventory even if inaccessible. If the same applies to placeables inventories (i am unsure if it does) then perhaps a change in the inventory of a building piece could perhaps count as an interaction or change of sorts and refresh the timer.

This happened to several bases on Official PVE 1500 last night.
I thought it was odd that so many bases were at 480 timers when I went by them, since there were not many people on the server. The next time it happened, I checked the player list but no one from that clan was online.

у меня наоборот , через несколько часов после того как я вышел из игры, в журнале событий база заброшена и обветшала, хотя я ее строил перед выходом из игры

I confirm this, it’s happening for few months now on every official server I play on. Some bases are affected by this, some are not, not sure about the difference.

I’m just jealous that my bases don’t auto refresh.

This is happening on Siptah, official PvE #6443. It’s been happening for a long time now and I put in a ticket to report it with screen shots and got no reply. Either Funcom doesn’t care or they don’t know how to fix it. Very frustrating when they keep pumping out new content but don’t address these bugs when reported by players.

it happens on both maps, because its a game bug, not specific to any map in particular.
