Just wanted to make a note -- you're carrying multiple weapons, hundreds of pounds of stones, and enough core wood to build the first floor of a log cabin, and you think inventory and weight capacity is too small. :/

sometimes. sometimes you have 1 piece of amber (.001 pounds), a ruby (.0001 pounds), a necklace, 10 gold, a pearl, a few pieces of thistle, ... < 10 pounds of stuff that would fit in a kids lunch box, but its taking up your entire inventory. I don't know the 'fix' for this issue ... diablo 2 style where items took up multiple slots if big and bulky or 1 slot if small was a disaster. A small item subcontainer would solve a lot, like a money pouch ... only put in vendor trash and coins, takes up 1 slot and has 10 internal slots or something. Or better, put a weight limit of 5 pounds on it so you can put in other stuff... feathers, etc...

That's because each boss triggers specific events. Read here for details:

I appreciate that - I've read the page before, it's just awkward for people like me who play mostly solo but join their guild groups on occasion because someone asks in TS if anyone wants to farm a specific resource, or group up to take down a boss for somebody. The inconsistency is explainable but still a little off. I have all the heads on my solo seed, but it still made the flow all crazy. And even after beating Moder on my solo seed but before Yagluth I never got the horde attacks event. It just stopped at never killing Bonemass on my solo seed.

Happened to me too. Only happens when you spend a while at your base, ie like when your building something there for a while.

Kinda annoying if you leave it as they do like to smash up things, but get out there with some frozen arrows and they wont know what hit em.

Its random. But you may want to build your home so it does not matter even if they come every 5 min.

I've had it happen 4 times in a row, over 1.5 game-days. Didn't stop until someone else logged into the server, then stopped immediately. It's definitely bugged somehow.

on singleplayer once every 46min you have 20% chance that raid can occur (and even if this "20%" hits... you need to fullfill requirements for the raid, like proper kills/biome/base)

I think that server has it the same way... but who knows

It may be a bug idk. I didn´t get "the ground is shaking" even a single time and I have already beaten moder. Seems weird that some people get it repeatedly and others don´t get it at all.

I get either Ground shaking or Smell of Sulphur in the air. Beaten Moder. Get it pretty frequently last few days, but then I've been base building last few days so.

My most often is the Skeleton Surprise. I get the Ground is shaking, the smell of the swamps, sulphur, animals, etc... all random, but more often than not, I get skeletons.

In my last playthrough I repeatedly got this raid even after killing Bonemass and Moder. Literally no other raid, like "foul smell from the swamp" or "cold wind blows" occurred. It was all troll raids. Very strange RNG?

An event tends to repeat itself if any player is outside the red circle when it ends.

@Gromarch Thanks for this. I'll see if it helps. Unfortunately keeping them inside the red circle means my base will likely get attacked as they're wielding trees.

You just need to be within the red circle, not the trolls. We have a rather large base and can still go outside our moats to kill them.
It goes for all events.

I beat all the bosses but Bonemass on my solo server, and Bonemass on a group server. I never got the drakes, skeleton surprise, or fulings attack my base (but fulings will spawn in the forest, for example). The non-boss events, I got Trolls enough time to have a full chest of skins, and Smell from the Swamp enough times to never need entrails ever again. My events are all jammed up. I've had multiple instances of trolls back to back, and I've had swamps last for five minutes it happened so many times in a row.
