i see all sorts of time limits on other player's structures but not mine.

also, i didn't log in for a few days one time and my character died by some dino it said. is your body still in the game(and can be killed) when you log off? i may have logged off outside my hut.

Depends on the server setting if buildings will have a timer i think.

Yes, your charakter is still in the game (unconcious) so better make sure you log out inside your house and all doors are closed and locked (pincoded)

For your second question, yes, your body stays in the game when you log out. So if you're not inside a structure when you log out, something can come by and kill you. Even if you are in a structure, you can still be killed if someone aggro's a dino nearby that's capable of trashing that structure (such as what happened when a friend pissed off a bronto that was close to the thatch house we were using).

As for the timer, for structures it depends on what it's made of. I'm only guessing, but I think thatch is only about 3 or 4 days, wood is something like a week, and stone is around two weeks. As for your animals, make sure they're kept somewhere wild animals can't reach them, and that they have food. They also have a timer, but I have no idea what it is.

There are 10 types of people in the world. Those that know binary, and those that don't.

They fell asleep in their house and fell through the floor. As for dinos they have the same timer as the wood structures

If you build with Foundations, you wont fall through the floor. Its a game glitch. What you likely see is someone who either built a raise platform with pillars, put a ceiling on top, and when they logged off, they glitched through the ceiling.

The way to do this is make sure where ever you log off, you log off on a FOUDNATION (Thatch, Wood, Stone, Metal). Its okay to put buildings on ceilings, they wont glitch through them. Birds wont glitch through ceilings either. But all other non flying creatures will glitch through a ceiling.

Hope that helps.

You for sure fall through the foundations I know for fact this happens. I also know for fact that animals fall through foundations. Stop spreading misinformation.

I swear, next people will complain if they make a game with a sequel in mind.
