Skyfall Manual Structure Decay System

Skyfall PvX has auto Structure (and tame) Decay toggled off. Players can clean up PvP zones themselves. Breaking structure and killing tames at will. In the perma PvE zones its a bit different. There is no mechanic for any player other than the tribe itself to delete structures or kill tames. Obviously, as players leave our server, their assets (structures and tames) are left behind indefinitely. This clogs up the map and eats up the tame and structure limit. It also can interfere with new people building.

Toggling on Decay Structure after a long period of inactivity has unacceptable consequences. Many structures delete immediately offering no chance to refresh. That has not worked for us. So instead we have devised a web-based system in the Utility Dashboard. The player base itself is essential in this process.

Abandoned Assets Table

You must be logged into your account to use most utility modules in your dashboard(https://skyfallgaming.com/index.php/dashboard/). Any player can submit the tribe name and coordinates of any structure or tame they think has been abandoned. These assets will remain on the table for a few days. Eventually they will be in the warning stage where they are highlighted in yellow. At this point our system bot will post to the discord #abandoned-list channel and mention @everyone. If you see your tribe asset on this post, notify a Game Admin immediately. If not, a few days later this tribe asset will be highlighted in red on our table and that means deletion by an Admin is imminent.

Note: In a future update we may have a mechanism for players to “claim” a posted tribe asset as ACTIVE directly on the Abandoned Assets table.

Introducing Watchdogs!

The Watchdog program is one in which players help out the staff in improving our community. Players are given an exclusive role, here on our website, to access a private page with a few commands. These command buttons send text Alerts with audio alarms directly to the Game Admins. for a faster response. These alerts may be sent for instances in which the Server is unexpectedly offline or Hackers are spotted online.

You may contact Ramsonne on our discord to apply.

Ark Map Generator

Sample Ark Map

We have developed a new tool that dynamically plots points on the Ark Map at coordinates you input. You can also attach a text label to the plot point. This is an excellent tool for tribes to plot enemy and ally bases.

CONVERT the dynamic map to a static image that you can download to your pc or mobile device for sharing in Discord.
