    Literally never had this happen. You guys must build very weird. Never lost an animal in any base I have built. 

    Double wall, double gate, done and done, you can make a wood box, then stone foundations around it, then a 2 high stone wall around it, with a stone gate on the outside and a wood gate on the inside, you will have zero problems unless you let the animals in yourself.

    Well, your stone wall just became a problem for those in the tundra didn't it? 0 sap.

    what exactly is the point of building stone in PVE anyway? Just build a small stone fence around your base to keep animals away, it isnt like you actually have anything to fear, no one is going to attack you. You can literally just live in wood or thatch, as long as you have a 2 high stone wall around your base.

    Wrong.  Animals can destroy wood and they will chew on it for hours until they destroy the block or you kill them.  Furthermore, animals can spawn INSIDE buildings and walls.

    And here I was thinking that the FOY was going to be the dumbest fucking thing this dev team would do.

    Wow.  Just... wow.

    I have no sap and no metal nodes anywhere on the island where I live.  And because of wildlife's ability to destroy wood, I'm left with little choice.

    Atlas, allow me to introduce you to an old military term.

    Im almost certain they mentioned in a stream the possibility of that being implemented (Im referring to shops outside freeports). But in any case, there are many freeports, whether they will all have seperate shops i dont know. Just keep on top of your repairs and dont linger

    Well that brings up another amusing one.  There's 4 freeports in each freeport server.  Am I going to have to put a trader on each one?

    And there's already been a discussion on this.  The best idea was to give an hour or two in a freeport where decay doesn't kick in at an accelerated rate.

    Whether anything suggested on these forums sinks in... well, the response we get is pretty dismal.

    It's actually 1 virtual server, this wouldn't take a full server to run especially since you can technically host a server on your own device.  So you could probably very easily do at minimum a 2x2 on a decent server(4 virtual servers) depending on what the actual ram/cpu usage is.  I've seen some screen caps that have quite a few instances running.

    Ok, so if we assume some relatively cheap servers with each running 8 grids allowing 10 connections each instead of 150, we're still looking at $20,000 ish to run a full map, just the server hardware.  Ok, that's cheaper than a Hyundai.

    I'd hate to try to administer all those VM's tho... jeezus.

    RAM gets up to 8 gigs when launching (Ofcourse dependable on the map), so you can do the math if you know the amount of grids you want. 

    Isn't that just the client?  I would assume the server wouldn't take nearly that much as it doesn't need to load most of the resources.  Does it run on Windows? Because there's 2 gigs gone, or does the server run on a Linux server which is going to be much faster.

    Either way, assuming it's 1 server per grid (which I doubt) that's 225 servers.  And then I'm guessing there's gotta be a fast database server somewhere to keep track of all this data and then, there's all the networking hardware.  

    I dunno @boomervoncannon , when you said less than a new car, were you thinking Bugatti???

    That's to rent I mean to buy

    Like I want to own the server 

    Well, that depends. You can buy a cheap server for around $500-$700 US.  But there's a lot of unanswered questions.  Like does the code need 1 server per zone or does one server handle multiple zones, etc.  And after that, you'll be looking at the broadband fees to allow all those connections... and the time it would take to maintain all those servers, both hardware and administering them.  You seriously wealthy with nothing better to do with you money?

    As much as many of the solo players hate me saying this, but why not join a company, and just make it clear to them you are a mostly solo player not looking to deal with the BS of a lot of the mega companies?

    Because even companies can be griefed off a server...

    Because you can be banned for the actions of one member of your company...

    But most importantly, because everything belongs to the company. Even if you do convince them to let you play solo in a company, nothing is yours.

    You act like calling people babies and kids is a huge insult.   All it's doing is showing your simplicity.  Look up simpleton on Google... you might learn something about your self.

    @Dollie You said we were free to message you. Since I'm guessing @Jatheish is still suffering jet lag, here it is: This post is a perfect example of the types of exploits that need to stop happening. I'm seeing posts almost daily about how weight exploits, pillar exploits and SotD exploits are being used to grief players. In PVP, you should expect to lose everything you have at any moment. In PVE, this should not be happening.  I have heard nothing from the WC team for weeks about what's being done to stop these exploits and this OP deserves and answer as to why this is being allowed to continue and why he feels the need to quit this game as a result.

    To those PvE players like the OP of the other thread, who are bored right now, I can only say...watch the Mod page.  It's early, but I am pretty sure that Mods are coming.  When they do, find a good unofficial PvE server running those mods.

    I'd be happy to with one big exception.  Too many times in other games I've spent countless hours building my creations only to watch them all vanish with the flick of a switch when the server admin decided to stop paying the bills.

    Therefore, with your explanation I have 2 choices.  I can either play on a private server with the persistent threat of it disappearing on a whim or, I can be WC's whipping boy and keep what I create until such time as they stop working on the game (at least 2 years according to them).

    Of course, there is a third option of me starting my own server which would cost me more money out of pocket for a game which I'm still unsure was worth the discounted price I purchased it at and even then, I'd likely spend more time administering the game than playing it (something I did with a Space Engineers server I ran.)

    Sounds like I'm between several rocks and a hard place.  But if it means I keep to keep playing the game without fear of an admin flaking out, I guess I'll just be the whipping boy.

    Oh, did I forget to mention the admins who use the admin commands to give themselves advantages?  Sorry, almost for got that one.

    *edit* and I also forgot the other pain in the ass of running a server.  It's when you do set up a pvp server and play as well.  If you do manage to 'git gud' and start kicking ass on your server you're definitely going to be branded a cheating admin even if you don't and soon, you'll be playing solo anyway.

    I'm assuming that since the vast majority of your post are intended as insults then yea, apparently you do find it fun, or you're massaging your ego by pretending you're oh, so superior. Which is it?

     With no research done on the numbers, it stands to reason a larger percentage of easterners overall embrace cheating over westerners. 

    If you're not going to do the research then how can you tell me that it's a reasonable assumption?  If you're going to convince me, use facts, not your opinion or hearsay.

    For one, who cares, its a different market than ours, and a different country. Not everything available in one country is available in all others.

    And it WOULD remove most of the cheaters.

    Ok, well, Britain is a different market so let's lock them out. Besides, their cooking is lousy (Steak and kidney pie? Gross!). And we know the Germans are very different... I mean they drink beer and, omg, eat processed pork (Wurstsalat?!?!).  So let's lock them out. And since we're blocking Germans for drinking beer and eating pigs, let's block the French because they drink wine and make strange food (Crêpes Grand Mariner???).   And those damned Aussies and Kiwi's, they're not even in the same hemisphere as everyone else so let's lock their upside down butts out (Besides, they probably cook marsupials).  Oh and the Canadians.  Let's slam the door on them too because they're WAY different... right?  I mean my god, when a microphone died during a US/Can hockey match they all stood up and finished singing the American national anthem (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHSaHRd4Q48).  Blasted traitors.  Block them!  And the Americans.  The whole planet knows they're self-righteous assholes, right?  Just block them and we'll have a much friendlier server. As a matter of fact, to make sure I have the PERFECT gaming experience, block everyone but me!

    Ya know what.  The sooner people come to realize that we are all living on 1 planet... not 7 continents, not 195 countries, not states, not counties, not provinces, not towns but ONE PLANET... the sooner we can stop worrying about the politicians blowing our asses to hell. Whether it's the Chinese specifically hacking/exploiting, I have no proof.  Am I pissed that it's happening? Oh yes. Have I heard of other nationalities cheating? Yep.  Do I support an Oceanic server? Yes, but because of pings times, not politics.  Blanket blocking an entire country for the actions of some is what a politician would do. I like to think myself better than any politician and support what WC is doing. Specific, targeted bans.

    And I'm going to assume, though I too have no poof, that the OP got banned after due consideration by WC and it wasn't a case of blanket banning an entire corp for the actions of one.
