Flag poles Huh what?

Yeah I saw that too, I assume it is like you have claimed that 60m radius, so while that flag pole stands you don't have to keep interacting with items so they don't despawn. I like that idea myself

[Sams]

Yeah they explain it pretty clearly in the blog.

We are adding a new base object - the flag pole. The goal of this object is to make the overall base management easier by having one central object, which, within a given time, refresh the lifetime values of objects within its radius (currently set to 60 meters). The flag itself can be found in 27 different variants and it is used to activate the flag pole itself when raised. With each lifetime refresh tick, the flag position lowers, meaning you will still need to keep an eye on your base, but you will no longer need to run around all the objects and manually refresh them.

Although I don't get how you get your hands on the pole? Flags are looted but do you craft the pole or what?


edit. oh "a base object". So apparently you craft it.

[Deaths]

I think you may craft it with a tool similar to a fence kit or tower kit, sticks and a rope

Thinking you just react with the pole in some fashion to reset the base in it's entirety.

same as plot poles were in the mod, they claim an area to be built on and only the owner can build or remove stuff, some servers the pole can be stolen by other players

I'm sorry this is all wrong, flags don't work like the mod in any way shape or form.

Literally read the experimental update post. The flagpole is ONLY for resetting the interaction timer on base objects in a radius

Are they tall enough to attract a crowd of 'friendlies' to your otherwise well hidden base? Or too tall to craft inside buildings?
Could they be also considered as freshie catnip? Geez, the list could get pretty long :-)

You may be thinking of Epoch or another spin off.... or a heavily updated vanilla mod, i know they did expand the base building when Rocket went over to BI and stopped working on it.

The classic Dayz Vanilla only ever had tents, sandbag walls and the barbed wire with that visual glitch so you saw a big flash of white where it was placed :)

Ahh yeah i forgot about those 2, i heard that after SA they kept going adding a lot more items to it, like pretty much all the props. Saw a vid of a guy building with shipping containers, maybe feels a bit much that :)

The proper origonal Dayz mod didnt have any of that. Those big bases made of wood were part of epoch or overwatch "mods of the mod" type things. I still play SA like I did the mod base wise. Dont use big wood walls but just rely on concealment, sticking single tents (maybe a barrel) as deep into a cluster of trees as i can :)
