Not sure if this is the right place, so many different player base post, so i picked one. My question is though can I build a base on my own discovery server? I started one to play with my 6 yr old nephew and we built a space station (aka his Fort) but it isnt doing anything. It showed up. We can dock at and sell stuff it. I can use the commands to control things but it isnt using the materials and its health just keeps ticking down. Did I do something wrong or is it only an option for the official server?
Thats what I originally followed. I had the base construction platform with all the required ingredients, nothing else and he followed me in a heavy tanker i set up with the crew water food oxygen and the rest with the reinforced alloy. Did the command with name and password, deployed the base. Docked and set the tags so he could dock and sell what he had to the base. Since then ive taken more reinforced alloy, robotic hardware and hull segments but it still wouldnt repair and the crew wasnt using the food, etc. Eventually just blew it up with my liberty bc to start fresh. Just thought that maybe it had to be on the official server online since this server is on a pc not connected to internet running a lan server
From what it seems, there is something wrong with the current POB repair anyway. As I already pointed out on discord, some bases are not suffering wear and tear damage (for example Eldorado Station and BMM-Goldgeist), while others are (for example Sabah Research Section). It seems to still be linked to he "russia ban" and affects bases older than that date.
Furthermore, after the HP were raised considerably, a base that does suffer wear&tear and that has full HP (not being attacked either) and Reinforced Alloy stocks, will also eat up Robotic Hardware and Hull segments instead of only consuming RA. To the best of my knowledge that was not the case before. It's not really game breaking or bad for POB owners, but something is still weird.

Skorak, I just started building a POB, and repairs or construction doesn't take place if it's less than 1000 FOW. Also the construction time, despite having all 3 repair commodities is heckuva slow......

Approximately 15 days, from the 5% it starts on, to achieve 100% health (as long as it has all 3 RMs during that time).

When I redeploy another one tonight ill increase food to 1000. I still had it at 400 but reinforced alloy, hull segments and robotic hardware were all 9000

Yes, the W&T was disabled not long after the 'Russian Ban' and was put in to effect for all POBs at that time. Any POBs built after that time were not protected, as per the below Thread.

I have just done two timed checks on a recently placed POB.
I recorded the RA, RH and HS of the Base and then did a check after 10 minutes. Only the RA had gone down at the expected rate.
I waited a couple of more minutes and again recorded all 3 RMs and waited 20 minutes. Once again, only the RA had gone down at expected rates.
It might be worth checking at what rate your RMs are going down and report it to the Devs if it is not doing as expected.

And its a success. Thank you for the help everyone. Tonight I'm going to start gathering supplys for modules. Wish I had internet access to get back on official server but right now solo flying with my nephew will have to work.
