Hello everyone.
We hear you, however such implementation is not straightforward and currently we are investigating our options whether this is possible.

I posted comments about this during the stream yesterday every 2 minutes hoping to get a reaction. Got nothing. And I’m assuming they either don’t know or don’t care at this point. I haven’t bothered playing the game for the last few months because of this very issue. It’s completely ruined the game for me. 😞

March 2024 and both fireplace & garden plot boosting are still rife in the game.

Are we able to get any kind of official confirmation on why the devs wont just turn off player collisions with these two items, just like they did with barrels. I see no reason why players must be able to collide with these objects as both should always be on the ground.

I’m not sure what else to tell you. It happened to me last night again. I was playing. The server had a restart which effectively logs me out. When I logged back in after it was done the sky was fully purple. It’s seeming to be less than 80% now but it’s still happening and many people have confirmed it’s happening. Not just me.
