Build Limits

[theboving]

So i have build a warehouse 2x6 a master house 4x10. Also build all the little houses Like house, medic, cantina and pleasure. Now i cant build the control building because of build limits. What determent build limits. The reason i ask is that i needed fundament to all building to avoid seeing ground trough floor. Anyway need more build limits.

Just to claryfy its single player. But i agree with the problem on servers
Need to explane its Single player and i have no Control Building yet.

I wasn't aware there even was a build limit. That's kind of upsetting.

So far I have the control building, canteen, and I'm building the recreation center. 2 quarries, 1 log cabin. My base is a 5 X 4 two story stone structure, with a greenhouse on top of the flat roof, and a solar panel. And I have a ton of stone foundations to level off the terrain, along with some walls for defensive purpose around the outer edge. I kind of stupidly built on a slope next to a river, so I have had to build terraces to have enough flat terrain. Too late to move everything now.

Now I'm worried I'm going to run out of build limit. Why have all the toys if you we can't build at least 1 of everything? If I do hit a build limit, I'll probably laugh about it and just stop playing. Building the base is the only reason I'm grinding away in the game.

Are you playing on a server? From what I understood from another thread here, only one control center can be built per server. Which is just ridiculous, imho.

That is UTTERLY ridiculous. So only the first person to start gathering NPC's can benefit? The warehouse tab of the control center is where you collect the resources from the NPC's.

That's just goofy.

Indeed it is. Apparently (this is just hearsay) it's something to do with the NPC's coding not being able to handle more than one control center or something to that effect. Which is a stupid reason to begin with.

I'm no programmer, but to me there seems to be a very easy solution : when anyone is rescuing an NPC, ask said anyone to 'assign' that NPC to a certain control center for which they 'work for'. And the control center would have been automatically named after the person who built it.

It's been posted here and on the discord many times. The current system only allows the construction of one control center per save. Normally you would build the control center first because you can't rescue NPCs without it ....

I don't mean to hijack the thread here (I'll be done here after this :), but if you could, please tell me the devs are planning to fix this?

And perhaps even why they did it this way in the first place?

I don't think I'm gonna put up the server for me and my friends if it's gonna stay like this.

Hijack away, it's all good.

I'm actually interested in this topic, even though I'm only playing single player.

The NPC rescue/town building thing is a pretty cool feature, and the #1 reason I'm still engaged and playing this game.

I've rescued 3 npc's, and I have nice little medieval stone village springing up around my main base. I have productivity up to 12, so I get about 5-6 batches of ores, and wood. I have 2 quarries and 1 log cabin. Every time I get ores like iron, aluminum, silver, or copper I get 9 units each time. That's enough for 3 ingots. Saltpeter, coal, and other resources come in smaller amounts. The logs and wood products are kind of pointless, but it helps with having stuff to burn, turn into charcoal, etc.

For the longest time, getting random chunks of aluminum ore from the NPC's was my most dependable source of aluminum ingots, aside from scrounging metals out of cars. I didn't even know there was a mine for aluminum.

I could be wrong but my guess is that, like a lot of things with the game, the core of the NPC system was developed elsewhere and then purchased for this game and integrated by the dev. The system only allowed one control center and I don't know that the dev can change that. He may be able to but he hasn't given indication that he intends to so far - but if enough people raise/endorse it as a suggestion it may happen

Alright, fair enough. Thanks for the response.
