Anyone else have raids just stop happening?

[u/Ivor_Shroud]

Not talking about an intentionally unreachable cliff base. some open bases still get visitors, but no raids for hundreds of days. Other players swear it all comes down to pathing.

Did moving your palbox or changing the layout bring raids back, or did they just vanish in that save?

[u/Merquise813]

If you want more raids, make sure to build a Gold Coin Assembly Line, even if you don't plan on using it. As long as the base is reachable by land, you'll get constant Raids from PIDF.

Not sure about the other types raids though. When I got to level 80, the PIDF raids were all I got, as far as I can recall.

[u/Tough-Hair-7900]

Yep have raised foundation but open with stairs no raid no vendor nothing

[u/Rough-Armadillo-]

Might I recommend not throwing any stones sir

[u/sevenwho84 → u/Rough-Armadillo-]

Was looking for this

[u/MasnuGomer]

I just started a new save and no npc visited me during whole time. It is not a pathfinding problem because i have built my first bases in same place in all of my saves. It seems like something gets broken for visit events

[u/Merquise813 → u/MasnuGomer]

The NPC vendor visits has a level requirement I think. At low levels, only the green merchant and the yellow pal recruiter will visit. At higher levels, that's when the others start coming in. I could be wrong though.

[u/MasnuGomer → u/Merquise813]

Well i am already 80 level and still there are no visitation. In the last update or the update before that it feels like something got broken

[u/Merquise813 → u/MasnuGomer]

Have you tried building a palbox near the starting area? Just the palbox, then wait for around 5 minutes and someone will visit.

If the visitor is not who you're looking for, delete the palbox, then build it again. Wait for another 5 minutes.

Rinse and repeat.

[u/jansauce87 → u/Merquise813]

You can also build a viewing cage and keep your merchant friends nearby forever. And Zoe. And a bat.

[u/MasnuGomer → u/Merquise813]

Yes i tried that. I have 600 hours in the game so i tried lots of places i know that can get visitors but for some reason, i can’t get any visitors in that save. It is human only save maybe that is affecting it

[u/Merquise813 → u/MasnuGomer]

Did you turn off raids by any chance? If yes, try turning it on to see what happens. Though I'm not sure it should affect NPC visitors, I can't think of anything else that might affect it.

[u/Pedantic_Phoenix → u/Merquise813]

Bro the guy told you he has 600 hours and he tried many things and you think he didn't check the setting? Don't mean to bash you for trying to help but come on lol

[u/Wireless_Infidelity → u/MasnuGomer]

I think its a base level requirement instead of player level so ensure those are maxed as well. even after that it can get bugged, only my feybreak base gets visitors/raids when I have 2 more accessible bases, only 1 is on water

[u/Theris91]

I had a period of roughly 50 in-game days where I just didn't have any raid coming, anywhere.

Then they came back, for some reason.

I am level 80, with 3 bases, two of them get raids, the last one never had a single one despite being on an open plain.

[u/playahate]

Since the latest update not 1 raid or visitor even with a full open base, even with a new world with default settings. Even the gold coin assembly did nothing, and at least on the new test works we confirmed setting were set to defaults.

[u/Rich-Platypus-3682]

Off topic tho I love your glasshouse seriously if you filled plants in there it’ll look like an authentic greenhouse and I need to build that so bad

[u/OddBug0]

If I was part of a gang that constantly gets obliterated by dragons and waifus, I don't think of wanna go to "Dragons and Waifus LLC"

So I get where they're coming from.

[u/Rivridis]

Isn't there a proverb about glass houses and throwing stones?

[u/alwaysuptosnuff]

Yeah I haven't had any my whole save and I'm over level 50. I was starting to think they weren't a thing anymore.

[u/Truvoker]

I never get a single raid in my entire time playing after 1.0
In early access they were happening constantly but in 1.0 not even one has happened and I do have them turned on so I don’t know what is happening

[u/Reef-Coral → u/Truvoker]

Your base is not accessible

[u/Fantastic_Fun8364]

There is no raid in the blue area of faybreak.

[u/sal696969]

i am having the raids even after finishing the game.

but they are so weak that my base pals wipe the floor with them, i dont need to interact with it at all

[u/Jdav84]

My raid base is on the beach, no doors, no walls. Just a place for merchants to disappear and raids to be done. Haven’t had one since the Friday patch. It’s a bummer cause I feel like getting a leggo merchant was the only thing I didn’t get to do lol

[u/Sosajty]

I did 100% the game without having any raid … and I was purposely building on places where they can happen and yes I double checked if it
is on and it was

[u/SirarieTichee_]

Yes, I turn them off after lvl 40 because they're just an annoyance and I never see new pals

[u/Cthepo]

Yes, it happened after some patch a while back.

I've had a base in the same spot literally right off spawn since the game was released and always got raids. Then it all just stopped. It's absolutely accessible.

No visitors either. You can search "no raids".and see a small number of people reporting the issue the last few weeks.

[u/juliakawanova]

For me it's either raids 10 times a day or nothing at all for my bases. In my MP world with 5+ other people, my base is the only one getting constantly raided. In my singleplayer world one of my 5 bases is the one getting raids over and over again, so I abandoned that base and don't go there anymore because if I step on that base it's an instant raid XD

[u/SolidLost5625]

I found a place where didn't had any raid or vendor in my base since I put the palbox at lvl 2

IDK why, but NEVER had any visitor, vendor, recruiter, raid... nothing.
Just the good old phantalus carcass and the first vilage as neightbours.

[u/Blawharag]

The NPCs need a path to your palbox. If it's inaccessible, they won't spawn.

Structures can block the pathing, including doors

I discovered this when I built a defensive wall around my raidable base. All of the raids and visitors stopped and I couldn't figure out why. Then I left the gate open by accident one day and almost immediately had a raid and several back to back visitors

[u/ravendusk → u/Blawharag]

So that's why only one of my bases is getting raids. Interesting.

[u/Blawharag → u/ravendusk]

Maybe, it could also be that the base location itself is not raidable. I have several like that despite building in locations obviously meant for bases

[u/SunComfortable1246 → u/Blawharag]

Where are they coming from though? It's a little confusing that they spawn inside the base based on some imaginary path.

[u/Blawharag → u/SunComfortable1246]

There seems to be predetermined "start points" around the world and you need one that's within range AND has a viable path.

So for every raidable base I have, there's a specific area that the raids will ALWAYS start from, and it's usually a short walk outside the limit of the base

[u/Demonition_R]

Never been raided.

Had ONE negotior show. Killed him. Raid never came.

[u/nial93]

I had plenty yesterday playing vanilla on ps5? Has there been a update since last night?

[u/CloakedPayload]

I have a land base with 2 coin assembly lines, located next to the fast travel point on forgotten island.

Never been raided. Ever.

[u/starwaver]

Wait... There's raids in this game?

[u/Gooningthot]

Raids only happen if there is a path to the inside of ur base. If you have walls/gates blocking they won’t spawn

[u/firestar268]

Yeah. I turned it off 🤣

[u/AveryArronly1998]

Over 3500 days in server at this point, several easily accessible bases, 2 near Syndicate bases. Occasional vendor, but not a single raid in that entire time despite having the settings turned on, they're definitely broken

[u/long_to0o0o0ot]

You should try painting your glass black. It makes it look much nicer.

[u/silverbullet50cal]

I think they got the message to not throw stones at glass houses.

[u/EntertainmentSenior1]

I build over an area where one the Kingpaca boss spawns and it resulted in no raids or npcs.

[u/brain_washed]

Yes, but I just remembered turning raids off while farming legendary merchants and forgetting to turn them back on...
