For what do you use the 1st private server?

[Muppet]

It is very useful for me cause I can find everything, no one can stole that item or kill your mob but i realized that there are no power armors on spots where public server they spawn, why?

Also i know i earn less score not being in a group or others in group cards bonus.

Then, is an error to play in the private server or do you use it like me?

Power armour should spawn on private servers, it has for me at least.

I tend not to use private servers unless I have to complete all the weekly and dailies very quickly, otherwise I just go onto public.

You can start a public team on private, only problem is that you are the only person in it, but it does count for most of the do stuff in teams, unless they specify that there must be other members in it, or require you to go to their camp or what not. But for kill xx creatures while in a team, or complete events in a team it will work.

There are a lot of mild reasons to do a private server but there's a reason it's more of a luxury and not a feature everyone gets.

Private servers can be really cool if you have a lot of friends that play the game too. The server will stay open as long as 1 player with FO1st is on it even if the one that opened the server session is offline, so like if you theoretically had friends with FO1st in a bunch of time zones, it could be open 24/7 outside of maintenance and always only used by your friends. Not everyone needs 1st, just 1 person in the server has to have it at all times. That's a very niche scenario but it's possible.

Yeah, comes in handy to do some challenges that might require to do some server hopping to get it done. Or to get to some specific, 'rare', loot (i.e. a scorched head in a jar, stuff like that to put on display in your camp). Anything that could otherwise be missed out on in a public server.

I also like to use a private instance to build a new camp in peace. Or just to chill with friends.

I used to use it to just play solo, now I mostly use it to complete daily/weekly challenges that require picking up items or killing X enemies and such that others have already taken from the public world.

1. Most don't spawn guaranteed

2. You already looted too many this day, the game tracks what you pick up and at some point puts that thing on cooldown, oversimplified speaking.

Never used it and propably never will.

For me getting aluminium and copper on the workshops. No need to server hop to find one where all are free.

Also as we are 4-6 people playing, we can be sure no one messes anything up, like radaiation rumble starts and either a high level who only cares about killing for xp starts instantly or a noob starts instantly.

Also hardened mass and glowing mass. Bomb Whitespring and no need to hurry to get the kills and the loot before someone else kills alll the glowing ones.

Farming specific npc spawns, some spawns have static start locations when servers start and on public servers that could be any time and on private thats when you start it so you know where some npc's are.

Transfer stuff between characters, farm workshops, build camps in peace.

[BizarreMan]

Transfer stuff between characters is about it.

look.for some reasons not everything is where it can be, either maps are spawned with rng involved or are copies of live maps, we dont know.

[Wack-A-Mole MLRS]

I'm on it 75% of the time now. Do my dailies and Weekly and fix my camps and explore. Then I come and shop and play. Mostly Hiding until the new player level up enough so we have allot more at the events.

Depends on my mood or what I'm wanting to do. Private is nice when I want to mess around with my camp or farm a workshop and not have any distractions. Occasional daily stuff depending on what it is.

Custom worlds is nice when I want to experiment with camp stuff or trying new weapons without burning up resources, or just screwing around for no reason other than just because.

[Calistrasza]

I use my private server to do challenges that require me to take over workshops. Otherwise, I never use it.

I use the Custom world to try out camp builds, otherwise I'm never on it.

[Yawgmoth]

I use it to transfer stuff to my mule alts
