Blazing Braziers

[JohnSnow]

I have a few questions about blazing braziers, but wiki have no information and search the forum also gave nothing.
First. I have 4 braziers. Three on a personal claim, one of them full of coal, the second is empty and the third has 20% hp. Fourth stands outside claim, but within range of other brazier. Which of these braziers are in the cluster?
Second. I have town claim and personal claim overlap. Several braziers stands on personal claim, several on town claim. Will PC braziers react on crimes against TC?

Regarding the four braziers: They have to be on claim, over 50% health, and have at least some fuel in them to work at all. I'm not sure what you mean by 'cluster'. Any valid brazier will attack a criminal within its range. If more than one brazier is attacking, the per brazier damage will be lower, but the overall damage will be higher.

Regarding what braziers react, any that are on a claim of any kind should react to a nearby crime. It didn't used to be that way but it should be fixed. If it's not working that way, no one has reported it.

Under "in cluster" i mean mechanics of damage reduction for every brazier depending on number of braziers around. Thus, with the first case, only one brazier will shoot and its damage will be unchanged?

He means, how is the diminishing returns calculated for braziers? Does it matter only if the person they shoot is within other braziers' range? Do all braziers just shoot in sync and the server then counts the number of shots fired, and reduces each counted one appropriately? Guess that'd remove the need to check the states of each brazier for damage calculations and only check it for triggering firing mode when the crime is commited.

Braziers will react to any crime in range, as long as they are over 50% HP and have fuel, no matter where they are, be it on another claim or no claim at all,
BUT: if a brazier is not on a claim AND protected by walls, it's useless.

Yeah, but wiki says "This damage is reduced when within the range of other Blazing Braziers." So, if raiders build some empty braziers outside, my braziers will do less damage.

No, this only counts for other active braziers, in range and shooting at the same target.

No, this only counts for other active braziers, in range and shooting at the same target.

Thus, in each of three cases dude will receive same damage per hit?

Yes.

[edit:] Awesome artwork!

Many thanks. It is difficult to understand all this without help.
