Wrecking ball not usable after beeing used a number of times

Postby algam » Fri Nov 05, 2021 9:16 pm

Hi,

Since I did not found anything about wrecking balls having a limited number of usages I am adding this as a bug:

I made three wrecking balls to get rid of my pali. After I used them 5 or 6 times each, all of them no longer have "Wreck" in the menu after beeing assembled even if I wait more than one day. I tried disassembling and assembling in a different positions along the palisade a few times but "Wreck" still does not appear

Screenshot with position of the wrecking ball : http://game.havenandhearth.com/mt/ss/b60cc37e6ba579b6 in case somebody thinks it was assembled too far. With shift+ctrl this was the closest position possible.

Thanks

Seems to align with the visual shown in wiki https://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Wrecking_Ball

One issue that I think might be the case, you aren't supposed to put the wrecking ball so close that hitboxes touch, but leave some pixel's (much less than a full tile) worth of gap. See picture in wiki.

You can check for "Wreck" -option immediately after placing the Wrecking Ball. If it does not appear, try different distance from the wall. (If it appears and is clicked, it will give you the remaining time to dry using in-game time.)

You're targeting the gap between the two blocks of the Palisade:

So the Wrecking Ball doesn't find anything to hit.
Move it a bit to either side, it will work.

No gap needed, WB works fine with toughing hitboxes (it will even do gates when its inside the gate-hitbox - ie: overlapping hitboxes.).

That was it.
It is funny, 3 wrecking balls each assembled twice and each time I targeted the gap :D after already using them a lot of times to destroy more than half of my pali

Thanks meus. Thanks guys
