If people abused this like this the developers will have no choice with a charge the rest of us cubits in order to do the reclaims in the future so if you want to screw everybody feel free to go ahead and take advantage of it. But all you’re doing is screwing everybody in the community in the long run. So if you’re tempted to do it please think of that because down the road it’ll hurt you too along with the rest of us. Please don’t abuse it

ok, then I mined it all out and forgot about it. Didn’t use that beacon for a year or so.

Ideally this game will eventually get bigger, which means all possible exploits will one day get exploited.
That said, I don’t think people “exploiting” to carry home a bunch of rocks or gravel is a big deal.

I do not think so either. However what the Developers think is what matters.
Perhaps @james @SamF @Leahlemoncakes would publicly respond to this question and how the view it. If they are OK with it which would mean no negative repurcussions from a future update then “have at it” as like I started off with: I agree with you @DKPuncherello that this is not a big deal

Why you all see this as a exploit?
I see it helping function for removing beacons and getting items. This new feature should reduce another “exploit” related with warping and switching home when moving items off.
I would still personally have proper sub bases on planets with processing plants there than use reclaim function for moving items to main base.

We explored the concept of using a Reclaimed beacon to rapidly return blocks home and concluded it wasn’t an exploit.
Whilst there is a persistent meme that the devs want to spoil fun and maximise grind, the opposite is actually true.

I think thats the point.
I saw so often people just unclaim and regenbombing their stuff, because the time to get all Blocks back with a Hammer wasn’t worth for them.
I “love” every block i have collected and always wanted to take all blocks back after expiring a Beacon, so it is a huge improvement for me, to have the possibility to get all my beloved blocks back at once.
It also avoid, that i have to grind again all the stuff i already collected before.
Just a small sad effect, now it is not possible anymore to feel the joy, to find an expired beacon and find some treasures in half regenerated buildings.

And yet… I’ve done several reclaims now, about 12 I think, and each one of them had a few blocks in there that I most certainly did not place. Not many, a handful, but still. One even had a copper seam block in there! I could’ve stored some stuff in storage at one of those places but am quite positive I never did store a seam block!
I think at the edges there can be a block or two that can be mistakingly be moved to reclaim storage. Like if you remove the grass you also get the soil block in reclaim even tho you did not place that soil block you merely changed it’s appearance which is already enough…

It seems there are corner-cases, but I don’t think can be taken advantage of. It’s the first thing I tried and I couldn’t harvest using the reclaim system

So there is the answer…reclaim to your hearts content if thats your thing… the rest of us will not be punished in a future update for it…so All Is Good!

I am not sure, but DUGUP blocks might have come around farming update.
At least seams came quite late possible to gather so maybe earlier plotted resources plotted got treated as DUGUP when seam gathering got into game.

I mean as long as this is available to everyone, it doesn’t pickup natural resources and it has a time delay I’m ok if people do this.
But I don’t think it’s a big deal to pick up a bunch of permanent rocks in a beacon lol.
Most of us mint or gift them on shop stands just to get rid of them.
That right there is a different story.

like i said in another post, the issue i see from this is more immersive wise than anything else.
Maybe in the future you could rework that feature so it fits the immersion of the game like using an item to make the beacons item warped to a said storage you prior placed in the world somewhere something similar of what the ender chest mod does in minecraft.(Manual reclaim part)
I think for now it does what it have to do and protect people that miss to fuel their beacon without losing a major part of their progress.

As background - we did originally call this feature “Rift Storage”. Where your items could be returned via a special rift storage.
But then how does a new player (or any player) get the Rift to make the storage if they’ve lost their beacon?
So thematically it was better but logistically it didn’t make sense.
But yes, clearly there is zero theming with the system at the moment.
(But maybe the Elder gives you the rift storage? But what happens if you drop it in lava? Lose it? Trade it? Drop it? So many fail cases! We concluded it was better that the “rift storage” was never held or in your inventory. Function and instant access trumped theming here.)

My meaning was more about it transfer to an already placed “rift storage” block by example in your home beacon. I am talking about the manual reclaim and not when a beacon dies.
Similar to the portal, you can create a token from that “rift Storage” block then use that token in the beacon you want to manually reclaim so it goes to that “rift storage” block.
This way you could send the item to the “rift storage” block you want.
As someone who manages to misplace items Thank You!

This doesn’t sound new-user friendly though. Some newer users have difficulty figuring out how to place a beacon and fuel it - a lot wouldn’t know what the token was or what to do with it.
Edit to add…maybe there could be a “reclaim” bag of goods that would appear in the sanctum?

Ohhh yeah!
Imagine:
You take down your 2000 Plot Building, that you don’t like anymore and want to rebuild it entirely. Your shiney Rift-Storage in your hands looks good… but just now a friend cross your way, want to show you something… another one start chatting with you to ask you, to go to a hunt, while another again want that you handtrade some stuff…
Somewhen, somewhere you droped your shiney Storage to the nearest Storage you had in front of you.
…Hours later you run 10 times through all your Storages to find that crazy shiney Rift-Storage.

was thinking the rift storage would be in the sanctum
they can’t do this since sanctum is local, it could be easily hacked/cheated.
