There are too many Creatures with platform structures on this ark!

[Inigo Montoya]

Anyone know how to fix this? People can't build anymore Bronto bases.

Thanks,

Perhaps this is because you have more than 10 Bronto's / Plesio's with platform saddles?

According to your post you have the platform saddle limit set to 10? so if the one you are trying to build on is the 11th (after you altered this) this could be the reason why?

We have that setting "MaxPlatformSaddleStructureLimit=15.0" - try this? I type this response from lack of information, I have no idea what your current .ini file has set.....

We've tried the following settings:
MaxPlatformSaddleStructureLimit=5000
and
MaxPlatformSaddleStructureLimit=10.0

Not only does this not work but we've had people kill off their platform brontos so others can create new ones, and they can't. Eventually our server will be down to 0 platform dinos.

We haven't had any complaints of raft building/creation. This is ONLY for land animal platform structures.

This variable cannot be tied to both. Feel free to log into the server yourself, we have hundreds if not thousands of rafts. http://arkservers.net/server/70.186.146.133:27080

This is something that needs to be addressed.

This is a serious issue that is detrimental to the gameplay for allot of people. The Devs should be working to fix this or at least give us some indication that they intend to!

they did already. Check patch notes prior to when they added PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier=1 and it's related one that allows for more platforms altogether (for private servers)

"PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier" is exactly what it says, it's a Per platform structure limit. (The structure limit on an individual platform is increased).


We need a variable that increases the cap of dinos supporting platform structures on a server.

sounds like to me, you guys need to go out and start killing some brontos.

edit: oh i see, there is a limit on the platform too? nm, lol.

Added a [ServerSettings] server option "?PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier=1.0" that can be used to increase the limit of structures on dynamic platforms.

"PerPlatformMaxStructuresMultiplier" is exactly what it says, it's a Per platform structure limit. (The structure limit on an individual platform is increased).

there is one

Read the patch notes as I stated

MaxPlatformSaddleStructureLimit=

It seems like you bypassed the threshold with rafts and now you are effed because you can't build platforms. Rafts are created as you place them, so they are ignoring the cap, however it seems they count to the cap all the same. They need to give us a way to destroy/remove rafts we don't need anymore. We have dozens of them on our server that just sit in the water unused because people built them to test it out but don't actually want to use them.

I'm not effed about anything.

I just want to increase the game experience for those that play on my servers.

If you know how to fix it I would really appreciate it.

This issue only affects high population servers.
I can understand why it isn't a high priority for the devs but there are servers out there that can support higher than the default values. Make it an option.

oh i dont mean "effed" as in a perspective. i meant your situation is effed up until they give us a way to fix it! sorry for that. if you are on a private server you could have an admin remove boats and see if that helps, but im pretty sure the rafts are the issue because there is no check to see whether or not one can be placed. hope that clears things up a bit. we are having same problem on my official pve server and we are trying different ways to get rid of rafts, to no success, im going to try explosives on my own raft later today since metal tools wont hurt it.

There is a cap for now, as we're testing out a lot of new code, and there's a very high chance these bronto bases will absolutely destroy server performance.

So for now, we're limiting them, to see what kind of impact they have, and then we'll be making adjustments based on that.

- The Right Hand

So you introduce the new Plesi saddle and limit the number of saddle bases meaning I grinded away and cant even use it. Seems clever

It's not a problem of having too many rafts, we can build and place dino platforms on them no problem but we can't actually build on them. Rafts we can still build on. I've tried changing the MaxPlatformSaddleStructureLimit to 50000 and still it doesn't work. Like others we've demolished many rafts and dino platforms but still not a single dino platform can be built on...

[Inigo Montoya]

Still no resolution. +1
