Forgotten Base layout
Haven't played in a while, I'm told that since a patch a few worlds back when a forgotten base is killed the layout changes after the ruin expires. Is this correct?

". . . the layout changes only when it is used to create a player base." Umm, that is not my experience. I think the layouts change every time a FB or a Camp or an Outpost respawns. Players have to plant one of their bases on the spot of a good layout to prevent respawning in order to hold a layout until they are ready to drop a new base on it. I have a garbage layout because I killed a FB and merely put a marker on the spot to hold it until I was ready to drop a new base on it. But, before I could do this, the spot respawned a new FB and when I killed it and dropped a new base on the spot without checking its layout, I got a garbage layout. (And, no, I did not drop my new base on the wrong spot.) I have not checked this with Camps and Outposts, but expect the same to hold true. But, maybe this happens only with FBs. Or, maybe only if the FB, Camp, or Outpost is killed and then respawns. Or maybe only if it disappears w/o being killed and then respawns. Or, maybe . . .
