I have a build with 4 beacons from 4 alts. All 4 alts assigned their beacon to the same guild and gave permissions and coin collect permissions to the guild. 2 of these chars (char A and D) visited the build every few days, the other two chars (B and C) didn’t visit the build since it was plotted two weeks ago.
Today I’ve collected footfall from all 4 beacons with char D, then used another alt (char E) and walked over all 4 beacons in this order: beacon A, B, C, D. After that, this is the footfall that was generated from char E:
Beacon
Footfall
A
80
B
77
C
79
D
80
There was the open question if footfall decays if the beacon owner does not visit his beacon every 7 days but the guild does visit it. This is the case. If you don’t want reduced footfall, the beacon owner has to visit the beacon every 7 days. Your guild coin collector does not suffice.
Char D did walk up to the beacons every few days and press the E key to interact with it out of curiosity. A, unfortunately I’m not sure if it only entered the plots of the beacon or interacted with his own. B and C stayed on a different planet.
Edit: I actually did expect it to not decay. That’s why I didn’t took more notes.
Well that’s because people who continuously visit your beacon give less coin until the timer reset which I think was 5 days and then again goes down. Where as someone who visits once a week will always give max amount of coin.
