SpartanLGND95 31 Posted January 7, 2021 When might we expect the next bug fix update? Might it include a fix for the issue of not receiving a new Protective Barrier after deleting both character progress and world? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Snellgrove 1451 Posted January 7, 2021 Not receiving a Protective Barrier again is nit an issue, but as designed, because otherwise players could set up a PB on a MP map, then restart, get a new one and still have the old one on the MP map. Because of this and other reasons though we are reworking the whole barrier system and should ve changed in the next couple of updates. Definitely on the next Major update (not the upcoming Goodie Pack) there should be a change already addressing this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiritchaser28 920 Posted January 7, 2021 I'm still up for the idea of unsummoning the barrier and summoning it elsewhere. Especially if a person finds a better map they like. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mid endian 37 Posted January 7, 2021 If player griefing is an issue then, player generator can be restricted to Islands only you start. The main issue is the use of the demolition hammer. Having it tied specifically to the player generator that you can lose very easily, creates an obstacle to revising your creation in the new exploration mode. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimbuck 746 Posted January 7, 2021 What annoys me is that i lost my barrier after a forced restart because my session was unreachable after i was kicked out from a timeout issue. The island i had started on and built a base there and the explored islands nearby all disappeared. The games unplayable if you have to contend with griefers wrecking unprotected bases etc .. and your ships etc being vulnerable to theft ...or your base simply disappearing ..or you get forced continually to restart after a connection timeout or some other server issue. If we have to wait 2 months for a fix ...well a lot of us will be out of here before then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ocnoglittle 760 Posted January 7, 2021 Maybe we could also change the demo hammer to work anywhere on a single player map. ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And have it only work in barriers on multiplayer. Edited January 7, 2021 by spiritchaser28 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mid endian 37 Posted January 7, 2021 Two things I see that can help with this problem. Allow ownership of different structures and ships. Second, allow host to set a toggle that can restrict the destruction of structures and ships. This can give more control against griefing should the host of that area set it like that. Also having ownership of buildings, means no need for a demo hammer. You would be the only one able to get all the parts back on it, unless you share it with another who is helping you on a build, or give ownership to another. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6Cowa6Bunga6 55 Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) wihtout being able to use the demo hammer it makes it very chore tasked when you want to revise or correct mistakes. Edited January 8, 2021 by 6Cowa6Bunga6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Adam, I just want to mention that this piece of "new" wasn't communicated very well in the upgrade. I've seen several instructions on how to start a new game, but nowhere in those instructions was it mentioned that we wouldn't get a PB. This is misleading since we always start a new game with a broken PB. I think people would have been more careful if we had known we would ever only get 1 PB. I realize you are planning on looking at this, but please take into consideration that this caught most of us completely by surprise. Is there a way to rectify this now? And going forward, we'll know we won't get another one? The lack of a PB is a very limiting issue, due to griefers and adding considerable difficulty in capturing blueprints of new builds or correcting errors in current builds. Thanks for listening.

mickeymcd1 0 Posted January 9, 2021 I lost my PB do to an issue out of my control. All of my saved data for the new update was lost on 01/05/2021. I logged out on the 4th and when I logged back in on the 5th all of it was gone except my ship and what was on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandy We are looking into it and figuring out, if we could somehow "gift" specific people (who deleted their game by mistake) another Protective Barrier. Will let you know. Thank you for the feedback and very sorry for the inconvenience ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mickeymcd1 0 Posted January 11, 2021 I did not delete my game. When I logged out on the 4th it was still there and when I logged back in on the 5th it was gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think we would mind, and that way they definitely get one, without the ability to spam them. Or maybe an NPC to talk to that can give one more barrier ?
