You said you were going to fix the problems with pillers all over the world and you guys still haven't fixed them? I started playing again since i heard about the structure plus and when I logged in still see pillers everywhere and it hasn't been fixed over a year. https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/articles.html/community-crunch-134-small-tribes-servers-upcoming-structure-changes-more-r822/
External link →There's no easy solution for this. Whenever you change the minimum requirements needed to establish land ownership people will just do that instead. So if it was 1 pillar before and we changed it to 4 foundations - people would just move to 4 foundations. Claiming land will be an interesting problem to solve for similar open world games with open building.
I think Atlas went a step in the right direction with land claims; a game like ARK could use a similar feature, only instead of claiming an entire island you'd claim a radius with a tool sort of like the dino leash.
Yea it's an interesting approach and I've been keeping an eye. Some challenges with that will be what determines the amount of land you can claim or the radius you get. Tribe size? Or can you just place several claim 'flags' down to make a larger radius? This will likely solve pillar spam but doesn't really address the land claim issue imo. It just removes the visual element of it. If that's all you're trying to address, it might work fine.
Hey Ced, just wanted to say that I appreciate your engagement with the community. It's a refreshing change and makes me feel Ark has turned a corner!
Thanks man!
