Land Claim (all)

Base[ | ]

The land claim is essential to building a base since most structures cannot be built outside of a land claim. Each player may have up to 3 land claims. A base is made by the first land claim and is expanded by building adjoining land claims. Claims that do not touch are considered separate bases.

Access[ | ]

The player who builds the claim is the owner and has full access to the claim. The owner can allow other players to access structures on the base by added them to the list in the land claim interface.

Decay[ | ]

In order to prevent abandoned bases from reducing the available real estate from active players, the game has a base decay system. The base will begin to decay if it has not been visited within a certain time frame. Anyone with access to the base can reset the decay timer simply by travelling anywhere inside the claim area.

The decay delay is based on the highest tier land claim in a base. A base with both a Tier 1 and Tier 2 land claim will have the decay delay of the Tier 2 claim. Visiting anywhere within the size of the base will reset the decay delay for all land claims on that base. Each base must be visited to reset the timeout.

Destruction[ | ]

If the base isn't visited at least once before the decay timeout, the base will have a 24 hour destruction delay period. All structures within a base that is being destroyed take periodic damage until everything is gone, including the land claim itself. An owner or player with access to the base who comes to the base while it's being destroyed will stop the destruction and reset the decay delay, but whatever damage that's been done must be repaired.

Considerations[ | ]

No land can be claimed within 2 tiles of a reserved space, such as cliffs, oceans, lakes, and ruins.
It's generally frowned upon by the community to build a land claim on a Meadow since meadows spawn many useful resources that should be available to everyone.

Tiers[ | ]

Only Tier 1 can actually be placed. Each higher tier can only be an upgraded version of the previous tier. Each higher level increases the claim size, structure points, and decay delay.
