Pve server - my building disappeared!

Game mode: [Online | Singleplayer]
Problem: [Crash | Bug | Performance | Misc]
Region: [Here]


Hello! I play on server #3026 Pve and my building disappeared! How? I don’t understand… my entertainers still dancing, but “in the air” and my pets are alive… so where is the building? And map room… Thanks for answer.

How long before your last log in/visit to that base?

You say online single player. May want to check your decay settings. Buildings decay after a set amount of time not being active (you have visited or interacted with the connected structures). Thralls work slightly different. They have to starve (at least until the next patch fixes that to tie into the structure decay). so they will be there until they starve out. Same for pets.

Max. 3 days. My friend from clan said to me about it… our clan is still on map, so I don’t understand… That’s an official server. I think that admin on server remove buildings for better “playing”? Ehm, faster I think… or not? Do you think the building won’t appear again…? :frowning:

There are no administration on official server.

So last update removes my building? I played for first time after last update I think…

Last updat was 3-2…so if you didn’t log in until 2-10 or later, then yes, decay system took the building.

Last update was 9th March… I was there 11th March after update, but my friends from clan were there almost every day… so I don’t understand where is the problem about that. Also I don’t know what means the decay system…? And why took me only building, not thralls and pets? And disappeared only 1 building - next 3 buildings are there! This building was a map room close to obelisk by Brimstone.

that was a hot fix. But yeah, if you were on 2 days after that, then something is buggy about that. What did Event log say?

I think nothing… I read about decay time a while ago - T2 build and less has smaller decay time, so maybe why disapeared this building first… or I don’t know. :confused: And does disable decay time work?

it should in solo. but if you are on a server, then server settings apply.
T2 is less, but if the build was decent sized, it still should not have been that quick.

The build was quite big… Maybe bug from update … but I didn’t know about decay system, so that’s my fault too.

Sounds to me like the sad truth is the building is gone. Whether it was a glitch or actual decay may be debatable. But you should take it on yourself to be aware of the decay timer for your builds. Craft a repair hammer and equip it. That will tell you the time remaining before decay on all buildings. The decay timer is not always 168 hours (1 week) if you don’t meet certain requirements for the building. That’s so people can’t just place a few foundations and claim land for a week. Buildings have to have different building pieces to receive a full timer, foundations, walls, doors, stairs ect. If you have a platform for a map room I suggest connecting it to another building with a full 168 hour decay timer.

Thanks for your comment.

My building are always missing but always come back they take 4ever to load in sometimes. I play on PvP server an it’s been hex lately with lag an things not loading in. If they don’t fix their servers soon they are going to loose what players they have left. I see so many players join n quit because of these issues. Sorry your building NVR came back did u check the event log to see if it decayed. If I need help rebuilding I wouldn’t mind helping take care and have fun :sunglasses:

I was going to say also, check your event log, it will tell you if it decayed.

Check the Event Log did it Decay or Lost stability ?

You were right. All things took decay system. Thanks you all.

This just happened to me on a PVE server. I placed something inside the building an hour or so before I come back to find everything in that spot gone. I know it’s not the decay timer because I play everyday for 10-12h. There is no way it could have.decayed in less than an hour. Lost over 100 yog food plus 100s of spicy food, raw meat for animals, potions… I love how this game gives you nothing and takes everything

That’s really weird because one of my 4 bases on the same server disappeared as well when I logged in a couple of days ago, map room and all. I always refresh all 4 everytime I go on and never leave it too long. The other 3 were all there, but one of them, same as you, just dancers and thralls standing around in mid air.
