Dryke Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Currently, a soft reset will wipe everything in a player built container and respawn it with random items according to the container type. IMO this limits the value of a soft reset by undermining the concept behind a persistent multiplayer environment since anything players have accumulated that they do not carry on their characters is wiped out. Beyond that it opens up a huge potential exploit on any MP server where soft resets are used regularly; players can build hundreds of crates and loot them at will with every reset.

Johnny Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'm sorry about this, but multiplayer is in its early stages. BUUUUT, we're hoping their working on that right now. I have a feeling bandits with bases will be annoyed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dryke Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Agreed - it's early in MP, and I don't mean to imply any particular urgency to the issue. I just wanted to note the suggestion and hope that it is either already planned or will be added to the list of planned things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silents429 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Oh its planned I am sure, Multiplayer in general at the moment wasn't planned, kinda formed out of a "Oh look theres a REALLY easy way we can add this" and then they added it.Originally we wouldn't have multiplayer for another couple months or after NPC's.

Dr_Cox1911 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Sorry for digging up this old thread, but is this still the case? Does a soft reset really clear all playermade containers and safehouses alike? If yes, then it seems pretty useless to soft reset a server.

EnigmaGrey Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Most of the lag I experienced when running servers was from people hoarding hundreds of thousands of items in a small space, in player-built or moved containers. Soft resets allowed me to take care of that problem and encourage loot hunting anew, without deleting their bases. Otherwise, I don't really know why you'd use it. If you just want to clean stuff off the ground proper, Connall made the item removal list toggleable between whitelist and black list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
