Basebuilding persistence

[insolicious 24]

Hello.

 

I'd like to get a proper answer about the persistence system that is keeping up the player built walls. The Admin of the server we play on told us that walls and gates are supposed to persist for 45 days. If we consider tents and barrels, you are able to reset that timer with player interaction. Well, recently after the last server wipe being 53 days ago, there have been reports of gates and walls disappearing in players bases. Thus the question: How do you reset the persistence timer on walls/gates? Do they have to be rebuilt from scratch or is enough to interact with them? As in, put a plank into them and take it out. For reference, our gates were built more than 45 days ago from what I know, however, we upgraded them with metal sheets later on. Is this necessary to reset the timer? With the recent update to introduce vaulting, our base' building is very vulnerable to the vaulting glitch through windows, thus we invested many hours into building it up safe to prevent people from doing that. However, some of these windows are up quite a bit and we would like to know what exactly it takes to reset persistence timers, before going through rebuilding these from scratch. I'm not sure how quick there will be answers here, but I'd really like to get one within a couple days with brief explantation, before all our work was done in vein in case our walls or doors just disappear after a restart.

 

Best regards.

This is the way to do it. Although I would do it with nails instead of planks, little bit easier and nails take up less space.
