[Resolved] Beacon bug, I think?

Edit: Anybody reading, ignore all this now, solved, I was just clueless. As usual, lol.

Just want to say first this doesn’t bother me in the least, wasn’t even going to bug you all with reporting it but then figured that if it happens to anybody else, probably might need to be in your bug collection, so I’ll put it here to play it safe. You all have plenty going on I’m sure, file away for whenever.

Some sort of issue going on with my beacon where it isn’t loading info last day or so (and Boundless Worlds seems unable to pick me up on the rankings now), knocked the status down from Village to Hamlet though my beacon alone is 471k, and it shifted the Warden of the settlement to one of my friend’s alts, EgoraII - though I can’t check the settlement rankings with this I know that her prestige was far below mine and not much if anything added since this happened.

Screenshot of the load error below. Once again, not a complaint - all hail Queen Egora II (I’m not the leadership type anyways). I even told her I wasn’t going to bother you all with putting this here but now I worry that perhaps you’d rather know of these issues so putting it here, thanks for all your work!

Edit: Probably not related but if it is, I’ll add this to be safe. The only real change I made around the time this happened was adding a bunch of plots, expanded to a new area. I do have a knack for breaking things, sorry…

You get zero footfall in this state.

You’re beacon bridges multiple settlements. That’s not a bug, it’s a feature…

This even can happen between your own build if you have multiple areas with > 10k prestige connected only with a single plot wide/high road.

On Settlement Details there is reading reason why loading is failing, but it could be still unclear for players when bridging is happening.

It is happening because some beacon has narrow plotted road (I think current rule is 1 plot wide)

I think beacon is having issue like this

Red beacon is on bridging mode because of green and blue settlements (screenshot)

There are better explanation and visual examples on forum why it happens.

Ah, ok, thanks!! Figured I might have done something to mess it up. Good to know! That is what happened then - one area I plotted, I led to it with a narrow path. Whoops. Well, should be an easy fix later. Appreciate it!

Mods, go ahead and lock, apologies!
