Basilisk extended downtime 08/09/2017

There is a berserker rifle out there with my riflemans name written all over it!

Which is basically a showpiece unless you can get your hands on some 200+ damage Gorax shards...I made this one on the TC with 42 damage spider fangs

Always thought it should have been higher AP. 2 or 3 maybe.

[Fissile]

so...has it been possible to spell out BASILISK with all the blow bought with donations the last few days?

None of the Heat damage weapons in the game have any AP. FWG5, Berserker, Flamethrower and EE3 Carbine all AP0

an abstract data structure used in artificial intelligence applications to aid agents in pathfinding through complicated spaces.

Sounds like improved pathing of NPCs and mobs.

Dear goodness, I hope this stops the Tuskens at the fort from running through and shooting through walls.

My body is ready for update 7

[FWHJames]

Those Rifles Suck but yes I want one also.

I'm so excited! How long does the merging process typically last?

As long as everything runs smoothly it will be up within the next 24-48 hours but not sure how long they will have it locked.

Indoor/outdoor transitions still need work, so some of that will still happen, but tuskens should be a tiny bit smarter. Ft Tusken is one of the places I actually complained about when I was testing the navmesh system all over the world on Nova. So no, it won't fix everything wrong with the fort. It'll fix some of it, but not all of it.

Yes I can confirm this , there are still some problems , but it s much better .

Here's a random question... what do harvesters do during a 2-3 day down time? I have no Dev knowledge so I assume time just stops at the point of shut down and then continues once we are live again? Like someone's hit pause and then play again 3 days later?

Last of everyone's worries I'm sure, just curious

Actually they do exactly what they do while the server is up - nothing. There is nothing in the hopper until you open it, then the game figures the time (according to the server clock) since the harvester was turned on and calculates the amount of resource that should be in the hopper and displays it.

And since most server clocks are synched to UTC, the result in the hopper is the same whether the server was up or not during the preceding days.

That's actually really interesting! Thanks Chui :-)

My 2 cents - it's always a good habit to pull non-critical harvs before merges since you have no idea how long the server may be down.

Any news about the server? Havent seen any new posts or updates anywhere.
