Crows Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hi. So I play on official pvp and I've noticed that the PvE auto-decay timer effects us now too, which is fine, but I'm confused. What exactly needs to be connected to/by Dinosaur Gates so that they don't auto-decay? for example, I put down 6 stone Dino gates in a row with doors on either end (typical Griffin trap) and after about a week, it all auto-destroyed. I looked at other traps and theirs hasn't, but I haven't noticed that they've done anything special to keep theirs in place? Also, how do you prevent a pillar from auto-decaying now? thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowkyuubi Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Make sure you visit anything you built every so often because it will reset the timers, and to keep pillars from Auto destroying quickly you can attach to ladders to them ceiling tiles or attach them to a fence Foundation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yekrucifixion187 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Yeah on pillars attach ladders if just using a single pillar or a roof if part of a bigger build. For dino gates and other building pieces they need to be rendered in to reset timers not just logged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaZiE1986 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Seems a needless mechanic tbh. We have c4 to take out structures and a timer to demolish if not refreshed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptorjesus666 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 take a look here esp these 2 posts On 7-12-2017 at 8:53 PM, Ranger1 said: That would be the obvious choice for PVE play, or to simply join one of the thousands of Unofficial servers that will already be running Aberration. Sure, you can jump on an official PVE Aberration server if you want to take a peek first, but if you actually want to play there for awhile official PVE Aberration servers are not going to be the intelligent choice.

If you're speaking of PC play, you can use whatever hosting service you prefer. You might also consider that whether they open a few official servers or not is fairly irrelevant to Aberration having a successful launch. As with all of the other maps, the bulk of Aberration PVE game play will not be happening on official servers. this says everything about what official servers are, no? they don't care about you, they get to play on unofficial servers (as are the test servers) where lag, and the likes do not exist that's why they don't fix anything "but hey for us it don't lag" they enabled orp on pve = massive issues with breeding (dinos going in stasis and not eating leading to dead babies) they enabled auto-decay on pvp, leading to loss of structures/dinos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beleive that is for isolated strcutures alone, as for bases with dinos, etc will last for 2 weeks of inactivity. (I checked this a long time ago, so high chance that i'm wrong). But as for pillars, i beleive you have to snap a foundation to them to prevent auto decay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crows Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hmmm alright, thanks everyone! Personally I think it doesn't make sense for auto-decay to exist on PvP servers. Not sure what kind of logic they tried applying to that decision. I hadn't visited my griffin trap for over a week because I was busy building and grinding for turrets and bullets, etc. Ah well... guess I'll stick to a different kind of build to trap griffins in, which hopefully doesn't decay. The griffin trap benefited the whole server as I left the gates unlocked for all to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
