Hi. I am one of the people who have had this happen to me on at least two occasions. Both times it triggered it seems was when like Alexa said, someone was making a very large purchase of LGF from my LGF Store at HQM Quarry(When they buy my whole stock I wasn't being paid. This happened around 2 or 3 times in total where I was left confused wondering if I had looted the scrap already before realizing what was happening and then reporting it to Alexa. This bug caused me to lose estimated between 50-60k Scrap in total. I am not mad about the loss of Scrap as my Customers still received their products they purchased and that was what was most valuable to me, making sure they got their products. The people who I discovered that bought from me all told me they bought large quantities that also exceeded 10k in scrap. I guess I missed the windows being offline of finding it laying in my Vending Machine Building Floor, as one of the people said he had bought a mere 20 minutes before I inquired about if anybody had bought my fuel. At first I thought someone had somehow gotten TC Access and was emptying my Vending Machine somehow, so I purged the list, changed the codes and everything. Then it happened again and this was the time where I found the individual in chat who informed me he bought 20 minutes prior. I then started looking at my Vending Machine seeing if there was any loopholes in the items I was offering and buying to allow people to con me out of all of goods. Once I realized my business setup was solid with no flaws and it happened again, I was confused fully, so I inquired to Alexa and well here we are.

^ you need to go there to file to get the things lost from Store Purchases, as Death is the ONLY person who refunds Store Purchases that disappear from issues. Not stating they'll indeed give it back but that's where you need to start. Also you need to file a report there with any kind of proof on the person who you're making claims as being abusive.

This. Also wasn't referencing the island on the right, but the island behind your base that you blocked off while blocking off the river.

Actually, during last wipe Admins went around and disabled the broadcasting of all empty or unused vending machines and the lag drastically reduced, that's how we know.

You're fine bro. I understand your frustrations, even after 3.5 months here I still have a couple of frustrations with how players treat things, but like Aurora said, we have to do our part as the stand-up players. I wasn't trying to be rude or anything to you was just pointing out that the post did exactly what you said you don't do. hehe

That's quite a mindset you have there of not informing of something because it's "snitching", so then I question you why make the post to begin with if you aren't gonna share details in fear of being a "Snitch".... How can staff fix an issue if it isn't reported and they aren't everywhere at once to see things. Answer is they can't. I just fail to see a point to make a post that is essentially "snitching" which you claim not to do, but then refuse to give additional info after already "Snitching" to begin with. BTW: I'm just using the term Snitch in my sentences since you used it. Not referencing you as one. also: you can send the info to an admin "anonymously"....

yeah you see the wall cut across the river at the top and the rest of the base is encased to the output to the ocean if you look at my picture I circled more zoomed in.

So to touch on. The LGF Stores at Quarries, I own and operate one at every quarry, I constantly log on 5-8 times a day to refill all of them due to them being emptied multiple times per day, it's not due to the fact of a bunch of stores, it's due to the fact people set the norm at 100-70 scrap per 500 for many wipes and the start of this wipe, then someone builds a new shop and now it's set to 50 scrap, someone else creates another shop at 49 scrap and someone else then creates another at 35 scrap per 500 for LGF this wipe thus screwing over everyone else forcing them to drop their prices to compete over and over again. The issue isn't with the amount of stores, the issue is with the people placing stores and entering a market with the goal of running everyone else out of competition instead of joining in unity to set a set price together. The stores at the quarries would be in stock much longer if the prices were higher, but once again... Player made competition to force a wipe out of the competition just ended up hurting every business in the process and those business that came in just to run out competition and hurt the pricing can't even keep up with the demand due to the cracked out wholesale pricing... I have thus reverteted back to my original pricing since the people trying to ruin the pricing can't even keep a simple stock and it appears I am the only person constantly refilling my store. To your opinion on cloning and people reselling it, So should the like 50 Orange Juice companies that came after the first orange juice company stop making orange juice because that 1st company made a method first? Should Clothing Companies stop making clothes because Fruit of the Loom makes all kinds of shirts you want that look similar to the $500 Kanye Shirt minus all the holes? You can't ever stop people from selling something and taking credit for other people's work. Also Cloning and Genetics are so easy I don't see a point to this being a problem in a PVE Enviroment.

https://i.gyazo.com/ec9fa9da85aec76af3cb398a00feb0fc.jpg this is the part I was referencing blocking a whole river into the ocean.

Minus blocking the whole exit of a river into the ocean and blocking people from being able to access the island behind without swimming, not a bad setup.

It is actually against the rules to camp any monument locations and pointed out often by Admins. If you have footage send it to a member of the Admin team from your server of choice.

I play on Scourge, not Pure, however.... I think Twigs should have their upkeep increased substantially to where it's on par with Wood so people are forced to upgrade at least or stop building random buildings they abandon with 150 days of upkeep worth of wood for their twigs. Doing this would also decrease the amount of people spamming TCs everywhere just because it's basically free to place the foundations for it. Would also combat the people who spend hours building a base and log off and are like "Where's my base?" because a random spawn helicopter leveled their twig mansion while they were offline.

It's a free economy, if people want to sell for more than Outpost/Bandit and people are willing to pay it, so be it. Just like console resellers, you can buy a PS5 at Gamestop for cheaper than you can buy from a random guy reselling one in his personal store right? Putting vending machines for us to vendor to admins instead of players just defeats the purpose of even having an economy. The issue is mostly in the number of vending machines people operate to sell 4 items or they're just empty for "the looks". I think if we can expand the storage of vending machines to allow more slots and list more items from a single machine would be better to reduce the vending machines as opposed to placing more admin machines on top of the machines that will always exist. If you look a large amount of machines that are up are just empty, if people stopped broadcasting them the lag would decrease substantially.

this would be cool to see.

POG POG POG

this. lol

Seekerm has been playing less and less lately tbh, not his groups fault they know how to advance faster since they are a group who has played for a while. Also, thank you for admitting to still Sleeping Bag Camping Garrisons once again this wipe so I at least know and can let the others who are annoyed with it too to not bother once again this wipe if you're online. Enjoy wasting your time and pointless networth TPing to 10 bags to try to find it first. Didn't you build a Community Centre this wipe to promote Community Interaction? so why do you still camp experiences of monuments and refuse community interaction at those monuments for the other players who show up wanting to join in and that you're claiming you want to help but once it's time to do something that isn't use a piece of hardware that you placed on the ground at a base and requires to split loot you are no longer interested in team play?

I mean notice how they change it and you cry that you can't see them anymore to TP to them and how solo players will never get to do them, I have multiple videos of people and talked to a lot of people and funny enough you're the most Recurring of the people who TP to their sleeping bag 5 feet from the garrison and beeline with their C4 ignoring everyone else, run to the back wall and avoid the whole purpose of a garrison for your 10k scrap and you have people who show up and ask to join in and then you just TC yourself in and take all the loot without saying a word or even acknowledging people. Soooooo tell me.. when you were one of the people who hit it more than anybody until these changes, how does making it so people have to search for it for a chance instead of one person Sleeping Bag TPing over and over to them make it unfair? I mean literally every person who shows up sees your name and sighs and talks shit as they walk away because you camp them throughout the wipes and they know to not even bother trying to talk to you about it because you'll just ignore them..... you ever thought about that part? Ever thought people may have noticed until this change you were literally the biggest camper of Garrisons on US Scourge? LOL

I do road scrap/monuments until I can either afford or craft some large planters, by then someone has made genetics for 3G3Y in the time I was farming scrap and couldn't dedicate the time to do it myself. I then transition into Hemp/Berry Farming and just slowly expand off the profits and never look back. Every wipe I buy around 20 Pump Jacks, 6 Recyclers, and 3-5 Test Gens all for scrap and still swim in the scrap. Pickles can suck a fat one imo. Never gonna bother placing a composter in a building I own ever again. Didn't even bother with them minus like 5 composters last wipe which I quickly removed. I think the changes to the TC of Garrisons are great as Garrisons are there for the crate loot just like everything else that requires explosives to attack. People need to quit looking at things at a profit margin of min/maxing every single thing they do in a video game and just learn to have fun. Imagine how much more fun you'd have doing a Garrison with friends for fun instead of just TPing to your sleeping bag within spitting distance and blowing the back wall out avoiding all the turrets and literally skipping the whole point of the garrison. At this point it's a free 5k HQM and Garrison Lights for people who are more advanced into the tech trees than the starting players. If you're already at that point of the game why do you need to get 10k scrap for like 1000 scrap worth of C4? Also humors me that the people who keep complaining about the changes to Garrisons and that it giving more people a chance to do one, are all people I've visually seen spawn at a sleeping bag in front of me within spitting distance of a garrison as I'm running to the garrison and they just pop up at their Sleeping Bag c4 in hand beelining ignoring any conversation or attempt for other people there to join them. hoping they can clear it and TC themselves in and TP away with the loot before anybody else gets there and sees their name not even realizing I'm literally right behind them until I say something to them. Hell, I even had someone show up to one as I ran out of C4 and was waiting for someone to trade me the last 2 I needed to finish the wall to the TC and they ran up blew the wall & TC, dropped their TC blocking me out and took all the loot and TP'd without saying a word to me. The issue isn't with the Garrisons, it's with the people who seem to need to camp them like it's a weekly reset for raid gear in an MMO to grind their useless networth higher than someone to say "I'm more rich than you because I grind harder." We've seen it time and time again and pickles are even an example. Something is put in place, people find a way to abuse it, it gets changed and everyone is like OMG HOW WILL I FUNCTION THIS IS SO UNFAIR MY SCRAP IS IN JEOPARDY! Also to stating this is unfair to solo players and gives groups an edge, maybe if the prior time invested was spent trying to do it with the endless number of people who approached asking to join but they instead get ignored because the min-max is more important than the community experience, You'd probably have a group of people to do Garrisons with on the norm, giving you increased chances of finding one and getting one, but alas everyone only cares about how much scrap they make and how much they're worth and don't want to share anything with anybody.

For those of us who don't have the DLC Pack and have to track down someone every time to make us more, kinda makes me feel like a burden. FeelsBadMan. Like I can get the pool DLC Stuff from people no problem and they don't decay, but then I keep having to ask people for Boomboxes, etc.

Is there a way we could potentially get the life of Boomboxes either like doubled,tripled, or just decay disabled potentially? crafting A new boombox every like 30 minutes or having to carry multiple for long treks is kinda crazy.

would be pretty cool if certain item crafting was locked behind progression instead of just speedrunning Workbenches.

I also had been refunded for losing 2 levels off a level 10 PJ yesterday and Lost those 2 levels again as well as 1 level off my newer level 4 PJ. It seems when the server crashes even if it's a rollback of 15-20 mins the pumpjacks roll back 12-20 hours and also roll back that much fuel conversion/generation. I submitted a ticket for the refund on the PJs just wanted to also add on! Seems to only happen on the major server crashes where the whole server goes down.

The issue with PVP is, and you can look at any competitive PVP game in proof that, no matter how hard you fight to keep a clean and happy environment, no matter what, if you have people losing and losing items,etc upon. There will always be toxicity because it will be either the guys taunting the people who died or the person who died becoming a massive ball of salt. Also you have people who can barely follow the PVE Aspect and you expect to have them entrusted with PVP areas. hehe. I think it'd be cool if they implemented an area of the map that was something like a Paintball Field or something, where we can engage in PVP but you don't lose any loot on death, but you can make duel bets with players prior but even that would probably get abused and griefed.
