Coggage

I lost everything to this too. I was active all day IN my Claim, logged out for sleep, woke up to lost claim. Salvaged my stuff from boxes onto the raft and logged out. Three hours later beds destroyed, back in friggin' Freeport AGAIN. Not a word from the Devs. There's no point in investing time in this game if you lose stuff due to bugs getting exploited.

Jeezuz, sort this out. Logged out in PvE on my anchored raft with bed and supplies in boxes, logged back in in bloody Freeport starting with nothing AGAIN. With the Claim system screwed and this kind of thing happening there is zero incentive to invest time in this game, and that's coming from someone who loves the game! AT least my levels weren't lost, thank the gods.

It's a nightmare even on PvE. Something is happening where an Active claim, which should be totally safe for three days if you have been Active IN the claim, are being snatched in a matter of an hour or two of the owner logging off. I had it happen to me. I'm not bothering to Claim (like there is anything to Claim!) until it is sorted out. A perfect example is a guy called Youros on the Steam forum, who was ONLINE when he lost his claim. He logged in (so was Active) set sail to another island and 40 minutes later he lost his claim and his base was no longer his. https://steamcommunity.com/app/834910/discussions/0/1742229167225135915/?tscn=1546437595

Water barrels fill with rain even if you don't see rain. Open the lid to collect it, close the lid to stop it depleting. I haven't seen a Barrel fill when on a Raft though.

Yes, but being able to replace parts of my building in just a few hours when the claim should have been rejected because I HAD been Active? I'd been Active all night, just before he pulled this fast one somehow. I tried blocking him my Active claim which overlapped HIS shack and I was getting "Too close to enemy Structure". Three or four hours after that my beds were gone, too.

I was on a PvE server. Forgot to mention, sorry.

I never saw rain but water barrels do fill up with it. The rain is both invisible and inaudible, unlike rain in Ark.

I feel for guy who is offline and getting his shipyard attacked by a 270 Alpha Snake. It's doing about 325 damage per hit and the shipyard was down 20k hp when I left on my raft. I shouted a warning but got no response. It will be destroyed by morning. A shipyard. By a snake. That's crazy.

Dying, with 54.5k people playing right now. Many a game on Steam wishes they were dying like that... No Man's Sky, for example, pulling a puny 5k.

There's some kind of exploit going on. I was active last night, logged in to my shack this morning and some of the walls and floors were someone else's. This is technically impossible because they shouldn't have been able to build next to an "enemy" structure, let alone do this on an Active claim. My flag was reporting my claim status as OK.

Pve, Active last night, logged in and some walls and floors were someone else's. Claim Flag status green, even dropped a buoy near my shack before logging out. Logged in this afternoon, both beds destroyed. This is theoretically impossible on PvP never mind PvE.

I've never seen an Island yet that had Tameable Animals, as yet. Crocs and Snakes seem to be all there are, bar Vultures and the odd Scorpion. I saw a Cow once and felt a wave of nostalgia.

True, Aery. Built a ned on a raft to sail back and both beds on the island have definitely gone. Active this morning and they were both there.

All I know is it had to be a Buoy as the root cause. I was lucky, I had a shack and a raft and was playing solo, while some players on "my" island had big shipyards and massive buildings, obviously a Company. To be honest, it was a crap island. Crocs and Snakes plagued the place, there were no Tameable animals and even if there were there were no Taming Foods for the useful animals. No Metal either, although the Copper from Stones was reasonable. I think I'll sail on and explore for a better place.

Had to be. People have mentioned a glitch where they stop resources spawning but maybe this is new. What they did is theoretically impossible in PvP let alone PvE. Replacing building parts in a building which is in an Active Claim is very strange indeed.

Active all last night on PvE, I log in today to find some walls and floors have been replaced by someone else's. They dropped a buoy nearby. I am within 30 yards of my flag, still showing "Claimed" and I can't even build replacements and destroy his. One of my pin-locked boxes was now his, although he took nothing and didn't pin-lock it himself. He didn't really do anything harmful really, and it seemed like he was just testing something out or doing a "look what I can do". Moved resources to my raft, dropped a buoy of my own beside it just in case, even the the raft is also just yards from my claim flag and logged out. Logged in and I am back in Freeport, despite having a bed on my raft and in my building. I have reported the player and have faint hopes they may take action but I am not about to hold my breath. If he's done this up and down the coast, people have big shipyards and warehouse-sized buildings, so they might have lost a ton of stuff. I have screenshots of the player's structures in my own building, and have handed them over to the Devs.

I noticed they claimed (or replaced) a few floors too. I'm about 20 yards away from my claim flag and have dropped a buoy in the hopes it stops buoys right next door to me, for what that's worth. I'm in an area with just rocks so it doesn't matter if they don't spawn.

Similar thing happened to me with a buoy. They replaced some walls and floors but didn't do anything drastic. Most odd, as I was active there just a few hours before and no counter-claim is in effect even.

I want to move there NOW! Been after these forever.

Logged out last night all well in PvE, logged in today to find several of my walls, floors and one of my pin-locked storage box are someone else's. They were quite gentlemanly because they didn't pin lock it or remove anything. Weird, but could have been worse. They managed to place a buoy quite close, but how come they could demolish MY walls and replace them with their's? I wish it had happened to my PvP character because I could at least have done something about it.

Looks like they placed a Buoy maybe. Are these broken?

Logged in after last night on my PvE character and I'd died to a snake when inside my building, but I suppose nothing new about that. Two of my building walls are from someone else!!

Fire Arrows are incredible. I killed a lvl 70 Alpha Croc in 3 shots. Then I saw a lvl170 Alpha Elephant, and that went down in 3 shots as well. Even NORMAL mobs don't go down that fast! Anyway, it got me 12 levels and 36 Skill Points in less than two minutes. My Firearm Skill went straight to Flintlock Pistols in one easy move with 10 points left over. I hope I see a lot more Alphas!

Off to see the New Year in... Happy trails, good pirating and the very best of luck in 2019 to you all.

Don't piss into the wind.
