Purge not happening on G-Portal server?

[THE_Mann]

Purge is set to happen on our private Gportal server but no purge? is this a bug?

[Wotannatow]

Depends...
On the Exiled Lands map there's a large area around the west part of the river that is purge protected and they never happen there.
On the other hand, if you're using mods, one might cause conflicts that prevents the purge. In that case you'll have to disable and enable them one by one to find out which one(s) cause the issue.

No Mods and were all spread out all over the map, purges not even starting :/

Do you have building damage on? Im pretty sure without it purge cant happen.

A base needs to be a certain number of connected foundations before it is even detected by the Purge. I can't tell the number because I don't remember, but I know the Youtuber Wak4863 has a vid on the topic.

we have buidling damage on but dynamic off is that what it is?

also is there a console command to show like purge stats or info?

i can get a purge to spawn either , all 3 of us maxed out with huge base on the ricer at I4 on our server. The purge is on , the buildings damage is at default and on. We have a treasure room with over 12k in it and 4 pieces of treasure...just a maxed out purge meter for 2 weeks.

is this a fact? my base barely has any foundations and I usually just built on the ground because it's more reliable. does it matter if it's fence or regular foundations?

Since the age of war chapter 1 update I've not had a purge but the purge meter still goes up and I used to get them before the update. I thought it was because the devs are revamping the purge for the age of war chapter 2, so I didn't think anything of it.

No, it's connected pieces, foundations or otherwise, but it's true, small bases do not get purged.

@THE_Mann you didn't post your purge configuration anywhere.. Maybe it's something as simple as a misconfigured server.
For example a typical mistake people make is not realizing MinPurgeOnlinePlayers refers to PER CLAN online and not globally across the server.. so if you set it to 4 for example, no clans with fewer than 4 members can ever get a purge.

you were right!
I built a smallish house with mostly foundations in the middle of desert and it got insta purged. no crafting station or anything else in sight just the walls lol
meanwhile, my main base with tons of crafting stations and treasure/NPC gets ignored...
