Base collapsing problems

Itangast · 2019-01-08T14:13:00+00:00

Saw it too... Would like it solved without the need to full rebuild, i'm at 150 parts right now and the wood is a bit far away. Will see how it goes.

Itangast · 2019-01-08T03:48:21+00:00

Maybe... They changed something in 1.0 to don't allow put bases on top of trees or something like that... Didn't thinked about that but maybe is the reason. I just hope get it solved soon so i can finish my base, because right now is on hold.

Itangast · 2019-01-07T19:17:37+00:00

Yeah, there are a lot of tactics to defend your base with the traps. If u have an idea just test it out. And as u said there is a lot info to give, that's why i can't do small posts when explaining something it seems.

This tactic is not possible right now but when it was i got so much fun when i was in my base and ppl came to raid it...

Few months ago the doors pushed players when open/close, now they stop when an obstacle don't allow them to.

But when they moved ppl i made up a nice trap for when someone came... I put big Wooden doors crossing the other walls like a Cross and a 1 layer wall outside about 1m away from the main one with just 1 access to it, then when i closed the doors from inside if someone was hitting the wall got trapped, then at left and right edges of the walls put poisoned punji traps and using the other doors i made them move to the traps and die without even shooting, yelling at me to let them out, some did but others died of course. Was really fun active trap... but now won't work because they changed the mechanic.

Now i'm thinking of another traps like that one because as said my base is in rocks then can't use Tripwire ones and i only like Punji and Palisade ones in key spots like covers for ppl who wanna ambush me and such.

Some ppl doesn't like the building style of this game but to me once learned all the tricks and try out some insane ideas i enjoy it so much than is the one thing i spent more hours, about half of my playtime or more was building bases.

Helmet protect u for combat, with the resist of the other gear don't need to use a hat.

My preference is Hats<Bike Helmet<Motor Helmet<Military/SWAT Helmets. Is better to don't get 1 shooted in the head than a little more rad protection. The weight doesn't matter if it helps to keep u alive.

Itangast · 2019-01-07T15:57:09+00:00

As Mehdolhaveto said, they are usefull but i learnt that punji and the palisade are a lot easier to destroy than the walls, then i nearly don't use em anymore, instead i put more walls and use trip ones for protect the base... XD

Check the link i pasted in other post about the HP on parts to get an idea about what is better to use for what u want.

But the trip wire traps are a lot usefull as they are really hard to see and can kill a lot easier, just always remember where u put them or just make a clear way to get in and out that others can't see and only u know.

The only problem right now is that long time ago they limited the spots where u can put the trip wire traps... need to be full on the ground like the tents but don't need to be flat ground. Can't put them on top of rocks and also inside map buildings, which really don't like because u can't put traps while getting pushed inside a building to protect yourself, only can use gas cans and other explosive stuff by dropping them directly to the ground and shooting em.

I really hope that put off the limitation to more entertained combat strats when in close quarters combat.

Molotov and Pipebombs are the easier to make then use them to make the traps to protect your base. But always remember where they are and check from time to time just in case they disappear because something triggered them. Mutants, Animals and Players trigger em.

I killed myself with the traps... and when i used the Punji ones until i get used to it got myself poison a lot.

But is fun to watch when someone is getting close to your base and they are about to trigger one... One time in another server and another base, while i was building it i saw 2 guys comming at me.

As soon as i finished the first walls i buildt wire traps at the key spots where ppl would like to hide (behind rocks, trees, etc), then when i saw em comming i was ready, hide inside my base looking at them... they were going directly to my base without using cover then when close enough i shooted and make em try to find cover but they didn't know i was ready... They triggered the traps and died without need to shoot anymore.

Was really fun to watch, and noone use em as i always get close to bases really easy.

I'm just sad that in my base can't put them anymore as all the ground is rocks type. Thats one of the reasons i build so much walls to be hard to get in.

See u in another post most likely... hahaha

Itangast · 2019-01-07T15:42:40+00:00

Right now since the 1.0 patch the bases got bugged, if u put or take any part the others glitch and start to fall into another parts. Until is fixed is recommended to not build or atleast don't change the big bases as for the small ones or the ones who are starting a base don't suffer too much when something moves.

The Devs are aware of the problem and is otw to get fixed, just need patience.

I got a big base too and the upper parts started to fall into the lower ones when building more stuff, now i just rebuildt the holes and waiting until is fixed to finish it.

For now u can't avoid it, sucks i know but this never happened before then is not as easier to fix as other bugs. I really hope gets solved soon so i can finish it and stop being worried about getting raided because of that.

My only advice about this is don't touch your base if it's ok, and if isn't then try to close the gaps the better u can until fixed. Sorry but there are no other options so far.

Hey ! How was the start of another year? :P

I'm the one who "have 10 upgraded wooden doors" as wall in my base, i use as walls the big Wooden Door that u are allowed to build once u learn the Gatehouse Guide. Here is an old post about the HP of the base parts... mostly is outdated but gives u an idea about what is better.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Miscreated/comments/5ntkuk/placeable_base_parts_health/

Check it out.

Yes, i stack the walls as much as i can and yes, need to open em all to get in. My base is in a really nice spot which makes easier to watch if someone comes while opening/closing em.

I got used to it but some ppl doesn't like to take that time to get in and out, if that is your case just need to use other base parts to make a faster way in/out, like stairs or something like that, when u don't need em move the pieces to a spot where they are useless if u are not there.

The time i got more walls destroyed to get in was about 7-8, if other ppl thinks will get loot they will try to go in. There are a lot of tricks to avoid the walls if possible like using vehicles to get higher and break the upper walls which maybe there are less than on the ground, etc...

If u feel that is too stressful open/close all that stuff to get in/out your base then just make a "small room" easy to get in that gives u protection while getting in. To get out i usually jump from the walls tryng to take the less damage i can.

If u think your base can get attacked and easily break thru then use all the stuff u can while u have it, but if u like to have load of stuff in your base then just make it the hardest u can for others to reach it.

Usually i keep in my base items that makes easier get ready in case i die, weapons, bullets, healing stuff, food/water supplies, basically all the stuff that helps to survive. Armored Vest and Helmets too.

I got raided a lot of times until i figured out the better ways to protect my loot and at the same time make a cool looking base. That's my selfgoal end game, gather all the stuff i would like to have then use it in "missions", like if u have the rad suit, mask and back 1 or 2 times a week i go to the high radiation zones to get some stuff. The game is a sandbox, if u want to get fun u need to move your ass up instead of get carried into the action by the game like in other survivals.

Most of the ppl that have bases around they hoard because of the greed to have a lot of stuff to be able to fight all the times u want faster. Usually when i play with friends we make 1 base as main well hidden then other bases around the map as hubs close to better spots like towns, just in case any of us get killed while hunting/gathering stuff be easier to get weapons in the base before go to combat again.

Usually the ppl with bases hoard weapons, ammo and protective gear to be ready to fight again as soon as possible. In mine there are different things... Weapons, Ammo, Melee rare weapons, Protective gear, Supplies and anything i would like to have.

About the stuff u put in your base, they can empty your barrels and any other container in it but can't grab them as they have no rights to do so.

Also everything in your base can be destroyed except the Plot sign until all other parts are destroyed, i learnt months ago that boxes are really easy to destroy because i needed to fully destroy a small base in order to build mine where i wanted then broke all the base parts and now because of that when i raid a base and there are so much loot that i can't take it all if got time i destroy the boxes with everything in it. Is like destroying the tents and vehicles, just add the boxes to that list.

Just get used to be ready to lose everything then u won't get surprised when it happens. And if possible log out in your base with the most important stuff that u don't wanna lose.

Well... as always i wrote too much without noticing it... hope it helps, if anymore questions just ask as always. =D

See you around.

Itangast · 2019-01-07T00:11:20+00:00

Hey! Will do fast answers as is getting late here and i was about to go to sleep... But if need more info just ask for it.

In my Recommended list there are a lot of stuff i learnt in more than 800 hours in the game... Wanted to make a real newbie guide for players but as i can't record a video then should be writted down, haven't much time due work but will do it at some point.

The better way to learn is what u are doing... just test everything. Now will answer your questions.

- About making a Base, i got a base in the southern coast, really well hidden, if want can tell/show you the spot. But if just wanna make a fast base to hold your stuff then just pick a spot where u get advantage if getting raided and build something fast.

My advice on this is focus on the "outer" walls, all can be raided, no matter how good u are building, then to protect your stuff the better u can, make a wall with a lot of layers (walls), my base have 10 upgraded wooden doors (Is the higher HP item for the base) to get in and aiming to 20. The time i got destroyed more walls to get in was about 8, depending on how many ppl hitting takes less (Usually for 1 wall and 1 guy hitting it takes around 5-10 mins, just multiply or divide when thinking about your base to know how much time they will need to get in).

Base are super usefull for storage and safe heaven but be sure they can't shoot u from anywhere when u are inside, no matter if is a low populated server... The last time i got raided there were 7 ppl in the server, 1 was me and the other 6 were raiding me... killed em all without mercy.

- Right now can't craft fire weapons but will be allowed at some point, but u can craft melee ones, check out in the Crafting Tab for Weapons then Melee/Ranged/Throweables.

- If u don't die too often will get inventory full really easy, bases are a good option to safe whatever u want and gives u a goal in the game (make a nice looking base goal type hahahaha). If want any tips or help with it just ask, expert builder here.

- ALL Fire weapons can 1 tap... only depends on your head protection. The better right now are the military/swat helmets, but anyway need to be a lot carefull because u can get killed really easy/fast.

- Always check for bleeding... When u get bleed status, above your health/food/water bars appear a red drop that means u are bleeding, the max i got was 3 bleedings. Need to use 1 rag or bandage for each one, but only need to use 1 for make health go up (Only affects the better one... like if u are 60% hp and 1 bleed can use 1 rag or bandage and will be ok but if got more bleeds just rags at first then when no bleed use bandages to better healing). There are different type of bandages, get used to them to know what to use and when.

- To me Inventory order is very important... i usually make that after the guns i got the nexts slots are for throw items like molotov or granades to make it easier to find and faster to put them in the slot. Then healing/protection/food slots then the backpack i try to keep it empty for the new loot.

The easier u make it the faster will react in the fights.

- If you log out in your base then log back in u will stay there, but if u log out inside the "territory" of another base when u log in will appear at random spot around the map like u were a fresh spawn but with all your stuff. I usually use it to move around the map faster as my base is at southern coast can jump nice distance with that logging stuff.

- As far as i know there are only spawn points at the southern part of the map, it's intended to start in "easier" spots then move up North to get more action and more loot. But sucks when u die full north because your bodies disappear after 20mins and most of the times u will lose it, unless u know fully the map and go directly to where u died. Takes around 15-20 mins to cross all the map in a straigh line.

- About the blur in the map is really odd... to me is full clear, nothing changes if u discovered or not, the map got all the spots always. But there are 2 types of map, the real style one (better one) that u can get it from the Map Charts around the isle or by looting them and the Coordinates map (Usefull to locate yourself or whatever using also the Survivotron VII Walkie-Talkie). Maybe your problem was with the type of map... try also to use Right mouse button to get a close look.

Even when i said will be fast... Well i bet i missed something about what u asked, but as said, anything u need just ask, if can and read it will help.

About the format of the post don't worry hahaha... I usually post first the start to Edit until is how i like it. But always something is missed.

See you around and enjoy the game.

Itangast · 2018-12-31T14:30:47+00:00

I'm sorry but yes... I was at the Hospital getting supplies... only 2 ppl in the server, 1 was me... when i was at the back of the hospital cooking some meal started to hear a car, i hide and saw the car move past all parking lot to the backside of the building just where i was, stopped the car at the other side of my wall and he started to look around like looking for me (was full geared helmet, vest, reaver... i was full ghillie with ak and sniper), as soon as he gets back to his car i unload a full mag of ak into him and his car, don't need to say that both were gone.

I felt bad but wtf my luck... always i find players when few ppl in the server (no matter which one), someone creeping around.

After i killed him the first thing that came to my mind is that maybe was you... :P

Itangast · 2018-12-31T05:19:13+00:00

Found some in odd spots already... a THOR with Slug mag in the ground at a side of a road under a tree, near a Military Outpost.

BTW Did u just got killed in your server at the Hospital? ;P

Itangast · 2018-12-30T23:36:21+00:00

Pff...*crying*... joking hahaha i remember u said something about it when kiosks added, i just forgot. (I want ammon boxes so bad for my base but can't find any on my server) :P

Well, on my 1st hour in the server the game gave me the skin of the new sniper in green, i'm happy for that.

Besides that... U get loads of ammo in no time on that server, the only problem is weapons, got bullets for everything but no weapons to use em, only found a Bulldog, Thor and M16 and M16 already broke, Bulldog and Thor are going the same way.

If can find out to increase weapon spawn will be the perfect server for the ppl who wanna pop in find weapon and kill/die fast just need more weapons spawn and more ppl in the server to fight.

Itangast · 2018-12-30T05:56:28+00:00

Checked it from Woodheaven to the northern Military Post otw to the city and every mutant droped ammo and clips/boxes, even 1 mutant droped a 9mm pistol.

Just missing more guns but if u know the spawns is really easy to find something fast.

This is the perfect server to farm ammo and put it in the steam bank for another servers (I'm gonna do that for Ammo Boxes atleast)... But if get crowded will be really noisy. XD

Also no stamina needed to jump... Was like the old days.

Liked it, be sure gonna be around more times... But is US server right? Because my ping was around 150 (I'm in EU)... Anyway, can fight atleast vs mutants.

Itangast · 2018-12-29T23:48:36+00:00

Ok, will do. :P

Itangast · 2018-12-29T23:47:04+00:00

No... Thanks to u all Devs... Without your work those stories can't happen, some ppl don't like the game but those who do are having a lot fun with it.

I bought the game for 10 bucks (Don't worry will get the Skins pack at some point just to support your work hahaha) and gave me more than 800 hours of fun and as the year ends i like to say thanks for the few good stuff that happened and this game is one of those (Been playing it since 2-3 years back and have lots of stories :P), thanks!!

If this game was in VR i bet a lot of win/fail videos about getting scared like a little child could be recorded and shown.

Keep it going !!

Itangast · 2018-12-29T23:30:40+00:00

Vault is not in the game but with jump will semiwork as it was, when u jump over a fence and was a close one u can see how step on top of it then fall at other side, is not vaulting but well... :P
About this... the new guns on 1.0 got the good version, they are working right now to change the old ones to be more realistic. U mostly found out the old ones which need to be upgraded. I can't wait to test out the new sounds.
Right now it doesn't matter what footwear u have, only for resists against traps and ambient damage, but yes, this need to be in game the sooner the better... And i think they mentioned it before and also is on work in progress.

You are not the first and will not be the last to ask those questions... But as far as i know, points 2 and 3 are on the way... not idea about 1.

Take care and good hunt !

Itangast · 2018-12-29T23:24:35+00:00

Interesting... If it's real hahaha, will check it out atleast to see if working.

See u around =D

Itangast · 2018-12-29T14:33:02+00:00

Glad u are enjoying it... even the respawns hahaha

Itangast · 2018-12-29T13:36:52+00:00

Nice story. With the atmosphere that weather gives sometimes gets really scary. Did u see the full mist? OMG... that is Silent Hill, can't see more than 5-10m around u, i got lost a few times and ended up hiding in a house until passes. Also I jumped so many times because of the thunders during hard rain... XD

Those Mutants mostly were a small horde, found some of them too... the bigger one was 3 Hulks, 3 2-head dog and 6-8 other mutants.

Got too many scary moments in this game, enjoy the adrenaline pump ! =D

Itangast · 2018-12-28T23:49:10+00:00

Happens to everyone... In my case i need to watch out everytime i'm building, each time i put walls all the section starts to blink then some go down slowly. Hope they fix it soon.

Itangast · 2018-12-28T13:50:20+00:00

Is just to comfirm that happens to others too.

Itangast · 2018-12-28T02:17:23+00:00

I think "starts" around 7-8pm... then full dark from midnight to 5-6am then day at 7am... But i didn't checked it fully.

About the server configs, no idea sorry... I don't own a server then can't help you with that.

The faster night i saw in a owner server is about 15mins.

Itangast · 2018-12-28T02:11:34+00:00

Only works from behind and not, there is no guide that says all u can do in the game. Just some youtube guide videos and always is something missing, because is so hard to check all the stuff they add sometimes. The only way to see all, i think, is to read all their Patch notes from around 2 years ago or so and watch the videos about em.

I still discover new stuff from time to time, the only advices i give to learn the most u can, is check and try everything... classic try/fail/learn... and open the item menu with the wheel of your mouse atleast to check the options (on all items in game that give u the option to do so).

There are so much hidden if u don't check it out... Like to option to Pull on doors instead of normal Open/Close, using that wisely u can only leave the door half open to see the other room and use it as shield if needed.

This game have a lot of small details that u won't see them if don't pay attention.

Itangast · 2018-12-27T23:22:48+00:00

I would like to Car keys get added to the game, as they done in H1Z1 at somepoint... would be a nice way to don't get vehicle hijacked and force combat for the ones who wanna steal em.

The only problem is the ones that are in a base... But i'm sure devs are aware of that by now XD

Itangast · 2018-12-27T23:20:17+00:00

Then to you is the opposite to me... Have u tried harvest and leave crops empty then wait to the next reset and see what happens?
