I built a house in my abeyance realm and its nearly flush with terrain at the entrance but elevated from the terrain in the back (no problem here, just to give a picture about why things happen).

In the back i built shelves with voyager chests in them to store my items and mats. At night some bound spawn and stand next to my walls and foundations. My companion inside the house aggroes on them and tries to hit them from inside the building. When the foundation is nearly flush with the terrain my companion will just demolish the wall and everything near the wall. When the foundation is raised and the bound are below my companion standing in the house, the companion hacks away at the foundation and when its destroyed everthing built on the foundation is destroyed without dropping loot or mats.

So basically my companion regularly destroys my building and I have lost 20 voyager chests and 4 shelves (in addition to 1 foundation and 3 walls). Some days ago I asked (via the form) to restore my abeyance realm, but no reaction from Inflexion. I basically cannot play, as I hope my realm will be restored to before the companion demolished it, so I cannot store anything in the realm, and just running endless vaults to amass Essences is boring as I still have some ascended realms to explore.

equip him with the hammer, then he repais instead of destroying

#

i typicly keep mine on the knife when not in a poi so he doesnt do things i dont want him to...like cutting down tress while im trying to stealth up on mobs:P

I just unequiped her weapon for the time being, but yeah giving her the hammer would be an improvement.

Build a portal or respawn at the base to stop enemy spawns

my front door is exactly 2 foundations away from 5 portals I built and next to them is the Fae Portal of my Abeyance realm, but yeah i will surround my next base with cairns and portals

Weird. Nothing supposed to spawn near portals. I wonder if they spawn in the distance and then run in

Thats what I presume, if they spawn near enough to "aggro" but not near enough to be in the "no spawns" area

quick tip: don't use the hammer method
tried it out, wall behind a shelf with chests was damaged, companion wanted to repair the wall ... by destroying the shelf and with it the 4 top most chests (those not standing on the floor) ... and then repairing 100 damage to the wall

I would relocate tbh. I've relocated from one side of the map to the other, took me about 20 mins using a few neat tricks that I haven't seen people discuss but idk if it's known for sure

#

relocating would not be the problem as long as i can get the game to correctly refund mats used for buildings
I will wall myself in, so mobs will be away from my house

Good luck! Hopefully, more NPC control is added so we can tell them to be passive or something that avoids them randomly doing stuff that gets in the way
