Trebuchets disappearing 👀

Conan Exiles General Discussion
1

Greetings!
I play on PvE official servers, and reaaally enjoying the trebuchet against al-Meyarah’s fortress.
The thing is, my trebuchets keep disappearing along with all on them :eyes:.
I haven’t found anything in the logs, and I moved it further away from the fortress, built it on one foundation high floor (as close to the ground as possible). Hey seem to have 100% stability.
What am I missing?, will the same happen to my ballistas?

Good hunting!

Update: the ballista didn’t disappear, but the ammo in it did :eyes::face_with_spiral_eyes::sweat:.

Do you have full decay timer?

3

Check the event logs.

4

My experience is that trebuchets do not always receive the decay timer of the structure they are on. Their decay time is set to the absolute minimum.

Why?

No idea.

5

I’ve seen Treb tops disappear after server restarts even with decay turned off. Though that was a long while ago.

6

Yes, it’s an official server

7

Nothing in the logs, checked twice.

Well, I think this might be it :sweat_smile::

All these years, even in pve servers it’s something like @Taemien and @Pugilist says.
They decay, maybe not in the next server restart always , but they decay. In my single player session my ballista lost all the arrows from the inventory, it stayed charged with a bolt in it but never shoot because it was empty. I know it doesn’t make sense. That’s my only effort which i quit really fast on chapter 4 waiting for the hotfix. The hotfix arrived yet i never checked. Thanks for bringing up @Wonka, i need this feedback too for my self :metal:.

Ive reported a bug on the foundation timer 5 months ago. its default 1 hour on official servers, and i lost my whole builindg on the same bug on official server.

Upon review, it appears that Siege Foundations that are on Build Foundations that are directly connected to the ground act as if they are not on Build Foundations.

Siege Foundations that are on Build Foundations at least two Build Foundations high, do get the Decay Timer of the Build Foundation.

I already mentioned this in one of Andy‘s posts (can’t remember which one).

For me (on PlayStation) it’s the ballista causing trouble.
Sometimes i‘m not able to interact with it AT ALL.
And sometimes i can only interact with the storage, but can’t shoot with it.
The bolts in the ballistas inventory also disappear for no obvious reason, maybe it’s server restart causing this. :man_shrugging:

I don’t have any struggles with trebuchets or their inventory.
(The shooting angle gets reset to 45 degrees after server restart, and that’s annoying if you don’t want to adjust them every time. But i can work around this by simply adjusting them with counterweight ONLY)

They’ve been disappearing for years, they never fixed it.
I always lose mine, its the only thing I lose
 apart from the stability loss of other things after updates.
