[2019] Seems pet/thralls decay and die even if base decay is off

Hey there,

Since this happened in a private server, are there any mods installed?

To alter the decay settings for pets and thralls, you should edit these two lines:

ThrallDecayTime

DisableThrallDecay

If they’re not present in your ini files you should add them manually until we include those settings in the GUI in a future patch.

Hey @Kwalya
That is rather unfair, as that comment was just to ensure this line is present in a settings file of a server that could be affected by a myriad of circumstances outside of our control the same way we try to ensure some basic steps in other issues as general assistance. We also stated a few times in the past that we’re working on implementing these settings into the GUI, as well as removing remnants of the hunger system still present in the game.
The fact that it wasn’t clearly stated in the patch notes clearly is on us, and no matter how massive the patch notes can be sometimes (which in this case they were pretty massive) we have to make sure every change is covered and properly explained, especially in cases like this one which is pretty important. We’re human, and sometimes we make mistakes.
