TiiaAurora 43 Posted April 13, 2019 So if you now build on an unclaimed island, settle up to maybe get it claimed and someone else is faster. What happens to your buildings? Someone said they are going to transfer ownership to the new island owner, which seems crazy to me, cause why should I build on unclaimed then? Did someone had it happen before or how are the rules? Just for me to know where to invest my time for my starter base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea but someone from our old alliance build on an unclaimed island and when it got claimed by someone else he said all his buildings switched ownership to the island owner. So I wonder if that is a bug or intentional. Also does every item have a 24h grace period or is it just the initial first one and after that your buildings are safe?

What about when a new person put a flag down or takes it over, does that 24hr timer reset to the new owner? If it does they can demolish whatever is there within their 24hr period. I don't know how it fully works because i've settled on lawless again to be safe, I don't want to build only for someone to wipe out hours of work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you take an island over and the building have been there 24 hours and the owner has been there in past 4 days you cannot destroy the existing structures.. You cannot get rid of old pillar spam that the prior owner put down either, until they have not been on for 4 days., Edited April 13, 2019 by José Gaspar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately I did not get to test that in PTR. I would expect it not to be protected, but I do not know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As i read it after 10 or 12 hrs it is only demolishable by you, unless it changed. Its all in the patch notes. Edited April 13, 2019 by travis843 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
