This may affect *you*

In this case considering it’s a private server, structures already present will remain, but no other similar structures will be able to be built after the patch. If you haven’t experienced any issues in your server recently, there shouldn’t be any reason for concern.

It has undergone multiple passes QA side and it was deemed the safest way to cover this issue.

Hi, an abuse with this kind of structure is the reason of officials server having very high ping, or crashing, or do not allow connection of players? in short to have official server not playable ?

It is one of the reasons some servers are having issues, yes.

Dear Jens, sorry for digging into it, but will fence foundations attached on sides of a wedge/rectangular or in between this be affected by this? For example having a pattern like this |□|□| seen from above?

Might not, but there’s a Testlive patch coming preferably before the Tuesday patch with this fix in it so players can get a heads-up of what this fix could entail for their constructions.

Your ideas as always come from those who do not play the game in the present.
If you experience problems on any servers, sort it out individually.
I played on three servers, no problem because of this.

Here’s a free advice on how to solve the problem: correct the possibility of building without deleting the structures already created.

On pvp server problems will be fixed very quickly. If there is a pve server with this problem (I very much doubt it), then solve it individually.

Now, as far as I understand, we are talking about the possibility to put a fence inside the foundations.
Question. If the fence is inside the foundation, then the removal will occur and the foundation and the fence? Or do you remove only the fence? I hope that only the fence. Otherwise it is a complete failure.

In addition, you have chosen a very convenient time. Now is the time of the academic session. State exams and diploma protection. Thank you so much for having decided to take on this right now.

IT will be both. they have been on this issue for at least 2-3 weeks looking for any way but the way they are doing it. They are erasing the structures all together, not decaying, destroying or destabilizing. which means they are basically scripting a wipe of certain coding.

The tone of your posts make it very unlikely you will get a response or any attention to your suggestions. In addition, it comes across as a personal problem, not one that would affect the community at large.

Personally, I would choose a different phrasing if I wanted to contribute something or get an answer, but that’s just me.

This is a complete failure from their point of view. The opportunity to put the fence in the foundation was before the release and after. Nobody said it was a mistake. I’m talking about 1 fence, not a lot. I always built a square foundation surrounded by 4 fences and 1 in the center. The whole base is on this basis. And now the entire base 50x50x120 should collapse because of this? You can not put a fence in the foundation, just remove the fence, where there is an intersection. The foundation should not suffer because of this.

And in general, the game is turned into a digger online, it’s impossible, it’s impossible. There is no freedom, there is no creativity with such a “solution” of problems.

there is just around 15 officials servers totally unplayable, i mean you can not connect at all or they crash every 5 mn; or come to 1931 or 1932 pvp server to have a taste. well if u can connect…

You DO present a valid point that should be considered. We do not have all the details that were hopefully taken into consideration, but I am curious why they didn’t just

I do believe that server crashing was only advantageous to those in competition with each other (pvp especially) and the prevention of future construction could be a viable fix with less collateral damage.

I do not know what you think. This is your subjective opinion. I am concerned about this update. The problem of many fences in one block must be solved. But the solutions are terrible. This is similar to the work of a freshman student. To whom it is necessary to solve the problem, but he reached the last moment. And he says that there are no other options, only this one. Excuse me. I see other options, only no one wants to consider them.
And in general, do not pretend)

I am present in this game from the very beginning. I follow almost everything that happens on the forum. I mean updates, developer solutions, debates and problems.
I can tell a lot of stories when the developers were definitely wrong. I have done this many times.
For all the time that I observe that there is a game, I see similar messages.
Reports that the developers see the picture wider, they know better, and more. In fact, everyone can be wrong. And no offense, but in the bulk, only from your people, you can hear something like that. And then everyone is distressed, but the developers know better and you quit the game.
Initially, the developers were happy for everyone, they tried to find the best solution that was good for everyone and found it.
But at some point, quite a long time ago, everything changed and they began to make decisions alone. Have the right, I agree. But this is bad on the human side.
Errors made by developers should not be corrected when it is convenient for them, but when damage is minimal.
If the damage has already been done, but there is no more damage, you need to leave everything as it is, and not break everything.
If the damage continues, as it is now. It makes no sense to break everything. Solving the problem on the surface. But they are not interested because it is difficult.
I am glad that they continue to work, but I am very disappointed with the results for a long time.
I was a very big opponent of wipes. Now, I hope and dream of him, to forget this game as a nightmare. Too many selfish deeds. With each update more and more.

You say, without knowing the reasons. I know what it is and it is absolutely not because of the fence and the intersection of structures. This is a certain point where you need to perform a specific action. So you can drop any server, and this is what most use.

Servers are constantly crashing or are just completely unplayable because of people abusing this glitch/exploit. Wiping it out as fast and as completely as possible is the best course of action they can take. If you built a base relying on exploits, you should have done so with the expectations that it would eventually be wiped.

As a builder I feel with you. It was the same at the time they canceled the possibility to put walls on foundations.

Then I found this great little mod from Multigun which changed everything for a builder. Now complicated structures and new designs were possible.

I don’t play without this mod anymore. Our private server is high end and we don’t have any performance issues
