SS dedicated Storage fix size ?
Hello,
Is there a solution so that the SS dedicated storage does not explode the size of the backup? We have done several tests and our results are as follows: a dedicated storage vanilla full resource increases the backup of 30Kb and a SS dedicated storage of 3.2Mb. This increase causes freezes on our servers when the .ark reaches a certain threshold.
Wildcard fixed this issue in September 2021: Community Crunch 284: Dedicated Storage Change, Evo Event, and more! (Instead, the dedicated storage box now contains a single item, and when you deposit items into it, we adjust the quantity of the said item. So instead of having 1800 stacks, you have one giant stack, if you will. Don't panic if you don't see items on the right-hand side, it is intentional! The items are still inside of the dedicated storage, it just works differently)
thank you for your help

Reduce the number of slots in each dedicated.

Don't store items that have spoil timers.

It's all you can do

Thank you for the answer. No fix is planned at this time to join the changes made by wildcard in September 2021?

Vanilla and SS storages are not compatible and comparisons between the two are error prone.

Anything that is planned for certain is on the roadmap.

The root cause is keeping track of spoil timers. The same thing will happen with other inventories with a high number of spoilable items.

WC didn't fix it per se... They worked around it by reducing the slot count and increasing the stack size. Virtually what I suggested you could do yourself.

You're welcome to checkout the roadmap to see if anything has been locked in though.

I have one more question, how to exclude items that have spoil timers in storage?
zerassar 17 Feb, 2023 @ 3:22am 
Tell your users not to store them...
Otherwise pull resource exclusions I think... but that is pull mechanic as well

telling our players not to store them...it's a good solution in a wonderful world XD but not a real solution. I mean excluding the resources?

Yes... And that is what I directed you to... But it also affects the pull mechanic.

sorry for the bad translation, what do you mean by exclude resources? is it possible to provide a list of items to exclude for SS dedicated storage?

As I said... Pull resource exclusions...Refer to pinned discussions

unless I'm mistaken I don't see anything that allows to exclude a list of items for dedicated storage of SS in pinned discussions
