Up structure limits?
Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2017 12:59 pm
Hey guys, so wanted to hear your opinions on structure limits on the server?
Chucky and I hit structure limit the other day with the base not being to the point where either of us are happy with it. We hit structure limit last wipe before even putting any defenses up which meant we had to rip down all of the metal double walling, which as a new tribe was a bit of a waste of time and resources.
Coming to our base this wipe we went into it keeping it small with the idea of the stacking mod being in there and making it smaller and more compact enabling more defenses this time as well as trying to keep within the structure limit. This has again meant gutting the base, meaning compromising functionality and defense. I know of a couple of other tribes that have hit structure limit too and it's becoming quite a pain. One of the biggest issues is it's impossible to know when you're going to hit it, so you could be half way through a gun tower and then run out of variable structures before chucking the guns on.
I feel like the structure limit does multiple things currently, it limits base design possibilities, Chucky is the builder for our tribe and to say his wings have been clipped compared to what he would do on other servers is an understatement. The structure limit means taking up more flat space especially by the larger tribes, for example I can't have a giga pen up at base now so I will have to find a completely flat place to build one and as no one likes pillars it will be taking up a large space of flat ground that a new tribe could have built a full base on.
The next and main issue for me is defense, it limits the amount of species and turrets you can have inside and outside of your base. May sound odd considering how many turrets we have up at our base, but it's always good to have more and at the moment as it stands we can't really place any more, this to me goes against arks whole idea where you are supposed to build up to be the ultimate survivor so to speak.
Sorry for the wall of text but would love to hear your guys opinions.
PS. I know you have upped the structure limit from last wipe Munki, but I personally don't feel it's nearly enough.
