Was probably a base design from pre patch. There's gonna be lots of that for a few days not really worth it right now
Yeah I dont really see this a problem (once discovered and understood).. although perhaps this change should of come into effect next week with the forced wipe..
Realistically, all you need to do, is ensure that each floor, has a building cupboard.. obviously your first level will be your first tool cupboard, as you build up, you will need to ensure that your 1st becomes your last.. so as you build up, destroy and replace the tool cupboards.
I tested the tool cupboard changes on my test server and I must say, I think this balances out the loss of ladders. Meaning that each floor can be "taken" by finding the tool cupboard on each floor. Once I have the tool cupboard, I can move up to the next level and repeat. This also means anyone building on rock bases are no more safe then one on the ground. Also means bases built on pillars, relying on elevators or removalable stairs, is just as unsafe unless properly safe guarded with tool cupboards.
I find it weird how people are considering this to be a problem and want to changed. Would you rather us go back to rock bases and diving board towers?
This is the best of both scenarios imo. We still are able to protect against some things, but can't make a base unraidable.
If this were changed like so many of you are asking, that would mean all you have to do is make a third floor elevator up in your base, and you're now unraidable. This would be terrible.
Currently, you now have the ability to ladder up side someones base to raid them; otherwise everyone and their mother would be going to unraidable route which is complete bullshit.
I don't see this as an issue on the condition that the higher tool cupboards take precedence. So there would be a sort of "strength meter" to the area effects. On the same level would be top strength then one level up would be lower, that way a cupboard on the floor above would negate privileges on that level granted by the tower below. That means if someone gets into the ground floor of your base, they aren't granted building privileges all the way up and would have to work their way up. Rather than just breaking in the ground floor then laddering up the outside to the top that is.

no base is unraidable use rockets on rock bases simple bases 3 lvl up use rockets
So I haven't had time to experiment fully. Does the cupboard radius only cover one floor at a time now or does it extend up and around 40m?

From what I've seen it extends up and around like it used to, it's just the downward coverage that's been removed
Actually there's 0 point in building up. Once the raider (asshat) takes your first floor and destroys your TC he is free to grief your entire base from below. No point in going up!

I didnt tried this myself but maybe you could build your master cupboard on the highest floor.
I absolutely hate the changes...

Go back to the old one and put ladders back, I am ready to stop playing now that it changed...
Well the ultimate goal is to get away with removing the tool cupboard eventually.
The funniest thing is that if it were not for players being complete ass holes and greeting bases we wouldn't need the TC in the first place. Now they are all crying about how it's killing the game. The truth of the matter is that the player base is infested with dick heads
Give the master toolcupboard a lot of hp (like a quarry) and make it lockable with a code lock.
