Base Building: Construction limit at 700 objects - Why?

[mypixel]

Hello,

First of all, yes I can understand that the more objects a player / server creates, the more resources and performance is needed.

But now I ask myself the question. Why is there a limit of 700 objects in the game?

I am given the opportunity to build a base from a very large selection of objects in the catalog, which I can design as I wish. I can build upwards, to the side, have only 1 room or 50. There are objects that are more suitable for a front garden, while others make it possible to build high towers.

I started with the latter until I realized that there is a limit of 700 objects with the second expansion stage. So my idea of building a large, or rather the largest, knight's fortress is gone.

Funnily enough, base building is aimed precisely at building crazy or beautiful houses. I mean, there is a competition in the game.

Long story short. Please increase this limit, thank you.

PS: Not everyone is satisfied with a small house on the edge of town.

You are in the 0.1% of whiners with their invisible "incredible" creation. Can we have a screenshot of the biggest knight fortress advancement maybe ?

My apologies your fortress do exist but there is no way you are stuck there. Could you show me how much of the 700 objects this takes ? Shouldn't even take half of it

Why not just re-evaluate your build to work within the limit? Push it to the max, but have it tied together nicely. you have to consider that your base isn't the only one being rendered and de-rendered. It starts to become a lot of work for the machines of people who use a wide range of specs to play the game. You could ask why of any number. 700 is an odd choice, but that's just your build pieces, not decorations, crafting stations, etc.

So that bases don't get so huge that they lag everyone around them.
That's my educated guess.
Also, my base is HUGE and I'm nowhere near the limit.
Try taking out the small stuff that you don't need for overall aesthetics.

Hello,

yes, that was also part of my consideration.
Building the towers smaller.
Leave out the columns.

Then I would save about 250 objects.

But then I would only have a small fortress ;) and without the columns the whole thing would look very plain.

My goal was to build the biggest and most realistic fortress with the existing catalog of objects ;).

I repeat again, with expansion level 2 the game suddenly gives you much more range from your area in length width height. If you were to make full use of this new length and width, then the height might be 2-3 stories high due to the 700 limitation. Nice, uh not .

Very surprised it took 700, i have seen bases much bigger. I believe the problem is that everything count as 1. If the much smaller walls were like 0.5 max building would be a bit easier in your case.

There is definitely some work on the devs part to make those projects achievable outside of eternal land. Hope they do something about it and see your fortress in it's full glory.
Cheers!

I get whispers outside my door every day. People walking my porch, or even climbing into my windows to tell me they like it. Why do you need such a huge establishment? Could go smaller and make just as much impact.

No wall decoration or floor, haven't made it that far yet. Because of wipes; not concerned.

I can't imagine that you saw larger structures because I had reached the height limit ;)

[Puskai]

Yeah, it should be double

[Underdog]

You can get more than 700 if you get certain specialisations.
