[GP] Guybrush Threepwood 626 Posted April 11, 2019 First of all thank you for increasing PvE structure decay on settlements from 4 days to 10 days. However, @Dollie @Jatheish we have been here before with the issue of holidays. The average holiday in the EU is 2 weeks. 10 days will be fine for the majority of the time, but when I chose to take some 'me' time on holiday i'll likely return to no base or structures. I don't understand why these decisions are constantly being made that pretty much screw over solo players. The resource structure that you were going to introduce would have solved this entire problem, yet you decided not to implement it for some reason. Can the structure decay be increased to cover the average holiday that EU takes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good landlords can get rid of spam in 24 hours. I go on holiday for 11 or 12 days and lose everything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kummba 164 Posted April 11, 2019 The game can never support every playstyle! Be creative! And i will be starting solo too, planing to stay so, but how knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if you plan to start and stay solo, explain how you will be creative when going on a 12 day holiday whilst staying solo? I'm not going to have some random house-sitting for me ingame.

Kummba 164 Posted April 11, 2019 If i will not have claimed an island (u can claim polar for that): I have some steam friends that dont play the game anymore! They can do me a favour (ONCE). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 246 Posted April 11, 2019 They could set it up so that small structures collapse and get deleted after a few hours and largers structures remain in place for 3 months.. However, even that is exploitable. If a small structure was judged to be say 6 foundations connected then all the little huts, pillers with ceilings etc single pillers could be removed within a day say. Larger structures connected to machines like looms, shipyards, smithys etc could remain for weeks. So foundations with machines on them become something you want to keep, small structures with just beds in them or chests would be demo'd. That way people would need to keep everything connected via foundations ie a continual base. Any disconnected bases would need to be say a minimum of 9 foundations with at least 1 major machine or creative structure on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You only say that because you can't afford a 12 day holiday. I work hard for my salary and deserve to spend it on 2 weeks holiday, doesn't mean I wouldn't care about the game i've spent the other 11 1/2 months playing...

I regularly have 2-3 week holidays. It's annoying having to restart from scatch everytime I do. The point of a holiday is to relax.. then you come back to more than the daily grind.
