Structure information

[MeatBag5150]

So just a quick question, sense I've not been paying attention to some of the patches. Another player in game mentioned a structure limit, so I looked up info on structures in a few posts trying to find out if there is a limit to how many pieces a base can be built from. Is this a thing now? The player mentioned something about bases now being limited to 500 structure pieces.

If this is true, is it for the entire map, as in you can only make a single base of 500 pieces or less? Or is it more of a per area on each map? If anyone has the actual details in a link or just has accurate information, please link it or reply.

Edit: I should add that I am asking about info for the older map, Archos. If the new structure limit has been added to it or not.

Thanks.

Yeah there is a limit on new map. Limit varies though, 500 being the smallest and 5000 being the largest (I've seen). Each area of map is different on how many pieces can be placed.

For pvp this could be awesome, having houses fight for land "could" make for fun pvp, but with hp changes on structures it won't be to tough to wipe players out completely.

Not sure about the pve servers tho (if your late getting into a server it will be tough to find land I would imagine).

I'm not on the new (SoF) Gaia map. I been playing on the Sacred Path Archos map, sense EA launched. Do you know if this effects the original content as well, or if this is just the new map on Gaia?

I won't play the new map unless you can use your original character, with the portal idea they pitched in the stream. No way I'm starting over again, going round after round with established houses, just to get a foothold on a map, where I can't even bring what I gain, back to my main fortress on Archos.

That all just seems pointless. Especially sense Archos is suppose to be expanded at some point. If you recall the massive greyed out areas of map you couldn't choose from at the login screan before SoF launched. Sacred Path was suppose to just be the starting area, and that was confirmed. Things do change, but nothing has been mentioned about abandoning Archos' expansion.

Anyway If the structure limit on Archos isn't in play then I will just get back to expanding my fortress. So far the structure I am planning on building is sitting at 4000+ peices, and I have plans to add to that.

It will be a very large fortress...my idea is to build something close to the scale of Minas Tirith, (the White City), from Lord of the Rings. Not because I want to take the whole map, I just think on a grand scale when it comes to fantasy structures.

I'm not going to try and control what anyone else can build, I just don't want to put in a ton of effort only to have it be removed by some idiotic mechanic.

According to the official announcement, there is a limit to structures in PvP for SOF based on dividing the map into zones. I do not know what the limit is numerically, but every item you place counts against the limit. I assume the zones are what the game lists in the upper left corner of the screen. The announcement I am referring to is: https://steamcommunity.com/games/529180/announcements/detail/1691556695844362173

@ Apex Predator.

Thanks for sharing, but the annoucement info is not what I am looking for. The details I am looking for is strictly for structure limits, and if there is any limits on structures in the older content, the Archos map. If not, then I can could care less. Not unless they are going to make that happen in Archos later. I don't want to build a massive fortress, if they are going to add a update that will remove over half of it, do to structure limits in a particular area.

Thanks for responding, but not really what I was looking for. I've already looked through that information.

No current limit in archos (it's pretty much the same as it's always been plus or minus a cpl bugs ya know). They could implement a limit there but I can't see it happening and it has never been mentioned to my knowledge.

From the looks of things archos will remain the way it is, without the hard caps on areas.

Edit: I've heard there has always been an 8k soft cap on individual structures in Archos but can't confirm this

There is a limit withing a a radius, but I was unable to get an answer from a mod or dev regarding this issue. Someone suggested a count similar to Ark, but I never played it. So yes there is a limit and why someone can't respond with what it is is beyond me.

Also, throughly understand your point on SOF and staying on Archos. Since the whole thing starts again on release, that is a lot of leveling to go over and over.

I would love to know the answer to this too.

I can't confirm exact number on limit, but at one point when building a massive fortress we began to receive an error that structure limit had been reached and nothing else could be placed. It is in the upper echelons of numbers so 8k could be about right. The limit included not only your building, but also all the items you have placed on your base.
