Further details- I was offline one night I have to live in Lawless because of the fiasco that is claims and lack of land after weeks looking The boat was anchored next to my shipyard - which was undamaged Everything on the boat was locked so no easy water exploit, etc

I don't know how on PvE your boat is supposed to be destroyed while anchored at shore overnight - and the details don't tell you anything. Did we have another bug with SOTD attacking shore or ?? SOme details in the logs would be nice and better yet not have your stuff poof while you are offline.

It was in the notes but doesn't seem possible. Did it miss the update?

I am not sure the game designer in charge of PvE but they are either incompetent or ignored in prioritizing issues. Fireplaces, smithy's not being lockable? Boats sinkable via dropping items on a boat by random griefer? Probably a few dozen other tricks. No reporting ability to moderate griefers in game? I respect that WC wants to play to the alpha tribes in PvP in Ark. I hoped that Atlas had paid attention to lessons learned and would react in Atlas. So far, not planning on any DLC for this game. Too much time lost with no recourse in game due to the lack of anti-griefer tools.

Piling onto this thread. PvP is the domain of the griefers, not PvE. I know WC loves their PvP players over PvE but you are shutting down a whole segment of DLC buying customers if you go after only the testosterone driven PvP users. Blending the two together would be fine - give an area to scratch some PvP itches, sure. Not in a fireplace or smithy though.
