Danger level bug when building

[Mittens]

When building an outpost for some strange reason the danger level will rise when I place down a trap, then when I delete it, the danger level remains the same. It appears the danger level raises permanently.

I like to balance my danger level to make the raid fun for players but this is really putting a spanner in the works as I have found I can literally build a tier 3 danger level base with absolutely nothing inside of it because the danger level is bugged.

i already reported this. It happens to me aswell.

I disconnected then came back and when i deleted 1 trap, it was good again. Hope it works for you aswell ;-)

Thanks so much for the help! I will give this a try when it happens to me next. Also thanks for also reporting!

I have also found that if you lay out all your traps BEFORE building all the blocks that make up the structure of the base this also appears to help. Once you have built the rest of the base, you don't want to add or remove any traps as this seems to cause the bug.

Thanks again for the help! Hopefully this will save me hours or rebuilding the entire base!

this is a really annoying bug. I like to stradle the line between dangerous and Brutal and it makes me afraid to make ANY changes. but I'll try the disconnect and reconnect method on my next build (I ended up giving up and going full brutal on the last map)

If you find yourself teetering on the line between two difficulty ratings be sure to push towards one or the other. If you leave it in that "limbo" area between the two it'll often bump up to the higher difficulty hours later.

In my experience reaching a higher difficulty and then removing defenses until it's at a lower difficulty seems to hold true to what it reports. So crank it up to Brutal and then work your way down to Dangerous. A defense that changes the rating will continue to do so even if you manage to trick it temporarily, it's just a matter of time.
