Brother i feel your pain, I had the same thing happen to me with 95% of my meds and resources. I must of lost 40k-50k of avain meat alone plus all the herb meat and other things i use. In my case i think I had less than 48 hours notice and there is nothing the CSR will do about it.

Ouch. I dont know what your expecting though. 72 hours is a long time and if you forgot to pay the maintenance, thats the same as forgetting to pull the trigger in combat and dying and asking to have your item decay reversed.

I wouldnt oppose them giving you your items on show of compassion if they could, but understand it was your own fault.

By the time you received your email probably more then half a day had passed. Depending on how good your factory was it could of been longer.

But yeah the email should of went out to everyone on the admin list. Thats a design flaw. One easily made but should never be ignored. FIX IT.

But if this was your pride and joy project then why did you forget to pay the maintenace? IF all this work was put into it why did you overlook something so important? Maybe an email saying that maintenance is running out would be better so you wouldnt of forgot.

Put it in the top 5 issues Guru is starving for issues.

I have 5 factories, 5vendorsand 3 medium houses. I didnt intend to be away for 3 days. If...by my calculation it had sent me a mail when it dropped below 100% I would have had time

Its not my pride and joy, losing any of my houses or 2 of my other factories would have been equally as bad (indeed my weapons vendor would end this characters game if lost).

I just think from 0 warning to death in 72 hours is too quick. Irresepective of anything. I was on on Sunday. There was no smoke, no fire...no visual queue.

My business partner who is joint admin on all of these and 7 other mining installations got no email no visual queue either.

I just think its harsh.......

I'm glad y'all said something.

I had forgotten to check on one of my factories. Yikes! 1 minute of maint left.

Oops.

Take care,

What sucks and what I think he is geting at is a few months ago I would get emails immidiatly if structures were damaged. Multiple emails. 50%. 43% 41% 36%

Lately I have noticed absolutly NO emails. Had forgotten about 3 BER 10 I put on a nice phrik vein and hit a few weeks later to find em all at around 20% with never an email to warn me.Wish it was like it used to be...

Ah, I see.

Can anyone else confirm this as a bug?

Take care,

I just let a house decay that I no longer used. I got many emails as it ticked down every 3 or 4 percentage points.

I have gotten emails at 25%, but not before there is that much decay. If we get emails for every little thing with a vendor (most of them unnecessary), then why aren't we getting emails for structures?

It would be nice to have email once per day. One email could summarize what has happened with vendors, and one email could summarize what has happened with structures. The structure one could just be how many structures are at 100%, and how many are at less than 100%. We'd still have to figure out which one had dropped below 100%, if any were noted, but at least we'd have a chance of saving something.

Wow Hallister

I think you're onto something. And I'd love to see a droid you buy called a servobot or something that requires master droid engineer to make. And if you ask it about your structures...it tells you how every one of them is doing. And you can use it to put maintenence or power into structures. The changes will take place in an hour but "status" at the factory will reflect what the result will be when updated if checked before the servobot gets there. And to make the DEs happy...one servobot can at most service two planets.
