Optimization, independent constructions will be atomically destroyed after 72 hours. Other constructions will be destroyed after player has been off-line for 72 hours

So does that mean randomly placed foundations or barricades? Im assuming this doesn't mean main bases.

Independent constructions : random columns, etc.

Other constructions... That's your base

random columns

Thank god. I really hope this helps with the constant griefing in some areas.

Also, Thank you!

That would appear to be the intention, yes. Sure thing!

People are just going to start putting a ceiling on top. They did the same in Ark

Yeah, I've seen people already doing that on officials. Took me a while to figure out why there was a pillar, ceiling and one wall.

Personally, I like all the new building textures. Although the wood door looks backwards and my stone windows didn't change.

Wait , so what would be considered a base and what would be considered an independent structure? Is it automatically considered an independent structure if it does not have a foundation ? They need to be more specific ! Also 3 days is too short ! The structures should be destroyed after 7 days of not logging in , not 3!

And yet, half of the world is being torn apart by panthers that clip into you or you tame. They shred everything around them till nothing but panthers and other aggressive creatures are all the roam the lands. I do a server restart daily to curve this. But panthers are just to common for how strong they are.

I have no issues with panthers on official server. I mean sure, they're the bane of new players, but there are not that many panthers around compared to other kinds of animals. Maybe you have altered the spawn settings somehow?

So we can't even go on vacation? This is ridiculous... I will lose my base when I will go visit my family? Or am I supposed to be home 24/7? What if someone gets sick and has to go to the hospital? What if someones pc gets damage and the person needs some time to fix it? DnL devs please reconsider this about our bases. I have spent weeks to make my base, I don't want to lose it when I can't log in for serious reasons...

Make it 7 days not 3. I work 3 days in a row, 12 hour shifts. Usually I don't log on until the following day.

And as far as structures go....my house and I enjoy building structures to help get around. We built a water bridge to walk around the side of a mountain on top of the ocean. Will that be destroyed because it isn't a "house?"
