    Hello Exiles!

    We have a pretty juicy patch for you for PC today! We plan to bring down the official PC servers around 5PM CEST/12PM ET. This patch will also go live asap for Consoles, barring issues with certification process at Sony and Microsoft.

    We really want to thank you for your feedback, patience and ongoing support while we address issues and improve the game. Please keep posting bugs, feedback and issues you encounter, especially after patches, here on our forums.

    Also a quick note on the infamous “Light Armor Journey” Bug. The fix for this will go to testlive with the over 500 additional changes that is scheduled for next week. We know that you have been waiting for this for a while and we apologize for the delay!

    ADDITIONAL DECAY SYSTEM EXPLANATION FOR ADMINS
    We’ve added a couple of new server settings that allow server admins to configure the decay system so that it considers buildings of a certain size to be insignificant and should therefore decay a lot faster than regular buildings. As long as there is no placeable involved.

    The server settings are:

    OverrideDecayMaxBuildingPieces

    , default value 6. This means a building with 6 or less pieces will get its normal decay time overriden by the time specified in the following server setting

    OverrideDecayTime

    , default value 3600. The amount of seconds it will take this building to decay into abandoned state, and it will then stay in abandoned state for 10% of this time.

    What the example of the default values, any building with 6 or less pieces will go into abandoned state after 1 hour. And then completely decay and be destroyed after 10 minutes in abandoned.

    (Anyone can demolish an Abandoned building by interacting with it)

    It will not get this overriden decay time if there is a placeable, like a bedroll or a campfire, near the building. And it will instead work like before.

    This is a quick thing we added to combat the “mine-fields” of pillars/foundations placed around the world to claim land. But we’re looking into better approaches.
