I’m currently working on a small addon to track keep progression and estimate when a keep may start losing progress due to lack of supplies.
Before asking, I checked the wiki, old patch notes, and a few forum threads, but I still cannot find a precise and current explanation of how the system works. The information I found is useful, but either incomplete
From what I understand so far:
* Supplies are the main factor used to maintain keep progression.
* BOs matter, but losing all BOs does not seem to cause an instant reset.
* Supplies spawn roughly every 40 seconds around controlled BOs, depending on involved guilds in zone.
* Older patch notes mention derank timers, supply decay, minimum BO requirements, and values that could be adjusted server-side.
* Some sources mention that the derank only happens if the realm has less than 1 BO and has not returned supplies “recently”, but I cannot find what “recently” means in precise seconds or minutes.
The part I still need to understand for addon purposes is the exact current logic.
Does anyone know the current rules for the following?
1. How long can a keep go without a supply delivery before it starts losing progress?
2. Is there a fixed timer, or is it checked only on periodic server ticks?
3. Does delivering a supply box fully reset that timer?
4. Do BOs only affect supply generation, or do they also directly prevent/trigger derank checks?
I am asking because the logs I am collecting directly from the game are still inconclusive. I can detect some changes, but the behavior does not seem consistent enough to build a reliable timer without knowing the actual rules.
The goal is create and addon to display useful information in the State of Realm window, such as time since last detected supply delivery, current BO control state, and possibly an estimated risk/timer for keep degradation.
Any precise information, developer clarification, testing results, or addon-related hints would be appreciated.
Thank you!!!
