Cowgirl Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 So I discovered last week some time that a tribes dedicated storage is ready to demo, but the rest of their base is not. The rest of the base will have full timers. It's really weird and I was wondering if anyone knew what might cause this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPraetorianx1911 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Probably 1 tek dedi that isn’t attached to another. I believe correct decay on dedi with just 1 it’s 12 hr decay, with 2+ it’s 80 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonark Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Decay timers only reset when the item/structure is rendered in. If the dedi is out of render distance from the base, and they haven't made sure to render it in then it's timer will keep running down even if they've logged in to reset the timer on the base. I doubt it's a snap issue as it should auto decay after 12 hours not just allow demolish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keynote378 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I found a dedi box with 312 stacks of hide in an open base, ready to demo. I got 312 stacks of hide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask the 2 tribes that gifted me 40,000 shards this last week because of that very mistake. Pro tip: don't leave your replicator out in the open with a single dedicated storage right next to it unsnapped and full of shards. Someone will notice eventually.

I understand that with single dedicated, and thats why I always put atleast 2 more. But last week some strange dilo happened. Few people, including me, logged in to find few dedi are missing. They were outside base, filled with e dust. Is it possible that server screwed us or ?? I mean it isn't big deal, I lost like 100k, just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it isn't big deal, I lost like 100k, just curious It depends on the servers in question maybe. It wasn't me , I only found 2 on 2 separate servers w/ shards. But there was a bunch of valguero servers which lost 4-6 days being rolled back that far. It could depend on when you set down the dedicated storages, if they were recently placed and your server rolled back.... who knows what you were doing at the exact moment the server was rolled back to. Putting a dedicated storage onto a foundation or ceiling tile doesn't count as snapped for the dedicated storage, they must first be snapped to another dedicated storage for the timer to extend to the 80 days. Otherwise, they are continuously going back to 12hrs after you log in, and count down when you are no longer around or online. I can't think of anyway to break down a pair that's snapped on PVE aside from waiting out the timer after a tribe quits. My tribemate recently noticed his replicator took some damage and looking them up we realized they can very easily be broken by mobs, I have not heard of that w/ the storages and their info page does not list the same vulnerability as a replicator does on its info pages. Leaving a replicator out in the open on extinction or genesis is beyond stupid from what I've read on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always take it and leave them a note on a billboard nearby. You can secure it from someone else from taking it, someone will eventually. The owner will definitely know there was a problem after they see it missing. Until then, they will be oblivious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left billboards near their main base telling them they need to snap at least 2 together and why, if it is still singular I might do that tonight. I thought about it before, and I thought it was only 8k metal, so totally doable, but then after a better look I realized it was almost 100k, the super tricky part is even if they have their door for the base closed you can get in easily because there are missing walls.
