Balance Breaking Faction Bug

[Treron]

tldr: You can't claim the chunk right next to a border making border bases impossible therefor making a large base twice as hard to build. This only makes factions more of a grind than it already is I hope this bug is fixed asap so I can start working on my base.

(I only tested the north wall so I don't know about the other borders but I would assume they are the same.)

So since the reset happened I've been playing factions, farming and saving up money to build a cactus farm/base. Today I saved up 70k and thought I had enough money to start on my base so I clear out a flat area near the border and get ready to claim only to find out you can't claim the border. When you go up to it and try to claim it said that your claim is outside the border so I tested out if you can build in this area that can't be claimed and you can. So what this means is if you made a border base people can still raid you from the one side that you can't claim basically making border bases useless I think this is a bug and I hope it is fixed because border bases are a huge part of factions.

Either let us claim outside of the border or right up against it please.

If you think it is a bug, report it as a bug report here: https://snapcraft.net/support-tickets/open (change department to bug reports)

Also, I think there is a reason why it won't let you claim next to the border. Probably because of lag reasons.

How would claiming next to the border cause lag? If anything it would reduce lag because bases would be smaller

True, but if you claim next to a border, then if a person walks into the restricted area (where you can't enter the border) then it won't work. I don't see why the people need to claim near the border.

I don't know what you mean by this

If you don't play factions much you might now know this but in factions when you want to build a large base you usually build it against the border because the border protects your base and you only have to build walls on one side. Corners are also valuable and fought over because walls are 4 times as easy to build. They are a big part of factions and makes base making easier.

Oh, okay.
