How to stop world from resetting on load?

[Eoin Lynne]

We dug a tunnel through mountain. Next time we loaded the game the tunnel was gone. How do I prevent this?

Only the land inside the flame's influence is saved

Build an altar in range of it.

place flame altar along the tunnel path inside the mountain and make sure you cover entire path. everything outside altar range resets.

Near as I can tell there are only two possible solutions, but probably will not help you.
1. Dig your tunnel through ore (clay, copper, salt etc) as these mine-able resources do not respawn, so they will not fill back in on relaunching.
2. Put down a base fire and upgrade it so it covers the area you dug out. Any regular soil/stone/rubble will rebuild themselves outside a base.

They do respawn.

nah sorry, ore, and even quest items, respawn ~every 3 hours, or when you restart the server. only viable option i can think of is to place altars long the length. preferably upgrading them to cover more range each it takes fewer. i feel real mixed about the world resetting, its good so you can base near good resource spots and never need to cope or find other spots. a good spot is a good spot. and i dont have to keep my cheesy mountain stairs looking good, cuz they'll be gone soon anyway. but its extremely annoying having to re-dig a staircase or tunnel every time. i usually go over mountains and stuff instead of under, cuz its easier to skyrim-walljump up most mountains and pickaxe the few spots you cant.

Depends where things are located. When you build too close to important locations, the important location will reset and override the parts overlapping your base. Things naturally reset outside your base to prevent finite resources and to restore world damage. You can also go back to locations and kill bosses again to collect resources.

This should be an option in the game setup settings.

There was a bigger, more detailed thread about.

100% persistance would come with severe drawbacks. Like savefile bloat and increased loading times near heavily edited places.
