I think it’s supposed to work out to like 10-15 squares. Most of the time it does, but sometimes it bugs out and only goes a couple spaces. I’d prefer it went out to more, maybe 20-30. But yeah I have noticed sometimes it cuts you off after a couple spaces, especially with the construction hammer.
More and more often, it won’t pull unless I’m like 2 foundations away. They need to up this dramatically. We need reliable pulling from any chest out to like 25 foundations radius. Make it a server setting, client setting, or both… if it’s a lag problem.
Almost sounds like its bugging out to PVP raid time distance.
So I made major progress on this today. I removed about 35 storage containers from my base, and instead stuffed it all into vaults. Now I can build WHEREVER I want. I’m talking out to like 60 or more foundation radius from storage. I set my storage values in server ini to like 10,000… but until I removed a ton of my other containers… the server value was ignored. Now it seems like it’s responding. I plan on taking a count of everything and doing more testing… but I am redesigning my base around 8 of those massive vaults instead of relying on tons of tiny boxes.
I noticed the problem when I all of a sudden couldn’t pull from storage when I walked near my double carpenter benches and double blacksmith benches where I also had 5 dryers clustered. I deleted 1 carpenter and 1 blacksmith bench, and removed all dryers… and BOOM, I could all of a sudden build anywhere I wanted. I could also magically now access ALL of my inventory from ANY bench in my base.
So whatever this issue is with pulling from storage, it has to do with other benches and storage.
Some bug… or some arbitrary “limit” that funcom put in and didn’t tell us about. I’ll be doing more testing and will make a comprehensive post when I have more knowledge of what is going on here.
I had seen this mentioned a few times so I went around my building area, that I built around vaults (that doesn’t pull from those vaults) and removed or turned off a bunch of storage and stations. Did not change it for me. Though I am also unsure if just turning them off works. If I have to remove more though it will only erase the reason I built it that way.
What do you mean “turn them off?” Removing them is the only thing that worked for me. I have 14 vaults… and like 3 other storage boxes. Otherwise, NO other storage anywhere other than in crafting benches and furnaces/etc.
I get on vault and chests a distance from around 8 foundations, far to little
hit the gear in any storage and click them to not be pulled from
This was happening to me. At first I thought it was the Vault specifically, but it is happening with all containers. Also, for me, it is only happening with the construction hammer. I can pull from storage fine for personal crafting and from benches. Worse, it was only happening to me on the private server (no mods), and other players were not seeing that happen.
