1st and 2nd base doesn't work while I'm on the road

[Die Böse]

I have built a second camp with pals who can also look after themselves but nothing happens while I'm away, they are frozen and when I port myself there it takes a few seconds and they come out of their rigidity and start working. .. (I rented a nitrado server)...can anyone help me by chance or is this normal? I have the feeling when we played without a rented server and had a 2nd base that it worked even without me being there

Did you try putting them in the palbox then taking them out again? That usually "resets" them

[Zagreus]

same problem 2nd base freeze always :(

[Die Böse]

it seems it is not only a problem in the second base... i can explain why now thats a problem :(

[Die Böse]

I don't even get messages anymore when I'm out and about about "depresso is taking a break"Restarting the server doesn't do anything, even taking the pals out and putting them back in doesn't help :( that's so annoying

Would this not be a rendering issue? You are so far away its not loaded in till you teleport over?

[ApeToe]

From what I can tell this seems to be a game optimization "feature" that freezes everyones bases until someone comes near. You can see for yourself when you login the first time and everything lags as its rendered at the same time the pals are receiving their logic to start moving out of the pal box. Other peoples bases are also in this frozen state until you come near.

It seems that the only thing that actually persists while you're not near/offline is the egg incubation, even incapacitated pals timers dont tick down until you're online.

NPC is constantly bugging out. Very annoying that it needs resets so often.

[Stellar Remnant]

works fine in single player. :D

My 2nd base is an Ore farm and it doesn't function unless I'm close by.

I normally go afk for 5 mins while the turtles do their thing and then I collect and teleport ore to main base for processing.

We have this problem on our server too. The main culprit are the server restarts. Any time the server restarts it derenders all the pals. We just make sure to go to each base and render them again and that gets them active. I'm not sure if over time they'll eventually derender on their own since our server has 7ish people, so kind of hard to test with the frequency of the restarts.
