Stacking Base Building Elements to Make Them Float (Advanced Base Building Mechanics?)

[76561198147873687]

I dont know how anyone can do this but how do you stack certain base buildings to make them float. For example sand blocks, I saw a video where they placed sand blocks in between two gates (airlock) around it as well as "ON TOP" of it to make it look like a tunnel when you enter it. Also, floating cabin in mid-air, like bro, how in the world can these people make that work?

Hop on discord and share the info you have with the devs. I saw a question regarding this yesterday and that was the devs request. I am sure they are very interested in the steps required to do this. That way they can eliminate said exploit.

Wipe coming soon as the exploit dupe gets patched out too (maybe later today even). So would be best if they nipped this in the bud too before said wipe.

stacking of foundations can no longer be done as far as i know due to the past 3 patches. it was probably built before those patches and then just maintained.

In fact i had much problems to maake my cheesy base, and floating items are very very hard and only on very few specific places possible

at least my experience

According to a few posts it's possible now. How it is I do not know myself, I just know that devs do not intend for that to work this way. And will patch it out post haste if they find it is possible and how it is done.

They've said a few times now there's no wipe coming until the large city is implemented in mid December. There will be no wipe today. They might patch out dupe methods, but wiping at the same time would be pointless. Testing needs to be done to confirm the dupe methods no longer work. Once they patch out dupe methods, it would only make sense to avoid the need for a double-wipe one week after another. Wait to confirm the dupe methods are definitely removed, otherwise ANOTHER wipe will be needed.

Advanced base building mechanics or so called exploits :D
Not encouraged and basically if we find any way of doing this, we'll patch it up.
If you know a way and report it to us, you get the gift of our eternal gratitude and +30 luck with your character :)

Then your formula is buggy, caused for me -30 luck

Literally everything I have seen.read contradicts that. AFAIK the wipe is coming as soon as the the dupe issues are sorted. I also see wipes as anything but pointless myself.

yes i send d1nosaur screen shots of things i have built like sky base and scumpire (which had 24 cabins in it)

Yea, I was wondering too if it was possible or just another exploit. I will be reporting it as soon as I found out how it works. Thanks for the info!

Wipes aren't pointless, no. That's not what I meant. I mean if they wipe at the same time they patch out known dupe methods, but the patch doesn't completely work, then we had a pointless wipe. They've said many times they want to wipe as little as possible, but as often as needed. They don't NEED to wipe when they patch out dupes. Extensive testing by us (EA players) is needed to confirm dupe methods are successfully removed before wiping everything. What happens if they patch out dupes and wipe at the same time, but patching the dupes wasn't 100% successful? Then we're right back to needing another patch and wipe as ASAP as possible. If they patch out known dupe methods, they need to wait a week to confirm the patch did indeed remove the dupe method before wiping.

I haven't played in weeks, so I really don't care if they wipe or not, personally... but from a logical perspective it makes zero sense to wipe in the same patch you remove dupes. Bugs happen. The fact that dupe methods exist at all is evidence of that. It's possible that a patch removing a dupe method doesn't actually work. Wait a week to confirm, THEN wipe, so only ONE wipe is needed.

not much sense to talk much about a coming wipe, currently we have a fixed date, and thats with the city

I still do not consider that pointless in any capacity. So that said not going to argue about it.

I don't put any large amount of time and effort into EA games where this scenario is inevitable anyways. If I am to put that amount of time and effort in I want to know it will be worth it. For me that is when the games gold and I am more than likely not on a public server.
