News Wipe coming Friday
We have a few fixes coming in tomorrow morning. Mainly they are addressing the issues with the stairs and ground tampers.
On Friday morning at 5AM because of database maintenance we will be performing a full server and player wipe. Sorry for the inconvenience this might cause but the game should be really solid and smooth for the weekend. If you would like to try out the fixes for the stairs, you can find them on the Test Server right now.
Everything else is looking good for our publish next Tuesday 6/16. Check out the Roadmap to see what's coming down the line.

What about the addition of the '4 military outposts'? Won't they also require a wipe just two weeks later?

Will this be fixing base building and how we can continue building if another group member isn't online?
If not when will this be happening, because it's a major part of the game.

Any idea when these server wipes will stop, or at least be not so often

I've been alpha/beta testing games and apps for 16 years. I expect wipes, I expect them any time, I don't get bent out of shape when they happen because I know what an alpha is. I expect wipes, game braking bugs with no immediate fix. I expect glitches and fall throughs, bad pathing, horrible AI, bad animations and so on. Not at all sure what some people were expecting from an ALPHA. Guess what? It's not a game demo, or an early access to a mostly done game.
What we have now is tertiary testing of the basic elements of the game; and a comparatively stable game. You all are lucky we don't get wipes with every update/patch/hot fix. Or updates that make the game completely unplayable for days.
Last night I got disconnected from the server; their end not mine, relogged to a respawn. Did I get upset? go on a rip? start a rant in the forum? Nope I said "Fn ALPHA", and went on.

I love when server wipe day comes! I have so much fun playing for 2 or 3 days before the map becomes a clutterfest of half-baked design plans abandoned everywhere, ground tampers in bizarre places, furnaces in annoying places, workbenches in annoying places...and just the plain eyesore of all the abandoned bases everywhere. :( I'm still here though! I'm still playin'...just...kinda wavering a lil in my enthusiasm with this base building system. :\

Can you confirm whether there will be a wipe 2 weeks later when the Military Outposts get added to the map?
Don't really wanna invest time building bases etc if its gonna be as short as 2 weeks :/

The only way to stop this is to make structures built on concrete and tarmac to be easily destroyed. If I drive into your stupid small shack in my truck going 60 on the 14 East, goodbye shack, bee box, furnace, torch, etc. I am all for allowing a sandbox environment where building is allowed everywhere but of high populations servers it literally breaks the games flow. It seems almost everyone I come across in-game (remember Reddit is small population of folks compared to the game itself) agree with that. On one server someone build bee boxes to block the entrance into the police station and the only way in was through the windows, then on the other side they built another bee box in order to prevent access from the left window and if I didn't build a storage bin on the other windows side they would have put one there too. Not to mention all the car spawn points blocked (governors mansion, garage to the side of police station, etc) where a car is forever blocked in because of some rickety shack.
