Hold Prisoners Without a Base?

[sorcus]

Basically I want to be able to hold prisoners for training my guys without putting a base marker on the map and getting harassed by whatever the region's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are.

Is there any way to do this other than just carrying them on my back? Do cages create a base marker? Is there any mods for this? Or is the best course of action just to buy a house in a town somewhere and smuggle bodies in?

Yep to your last question- buy a house in town and build cages in it.

There's also a mod that adds more camping utilities and it has prisoner poles which can also be built in a shack you can buy in a city.

You could go to Bast ruined town in Bast zone to use UC's cages outside and get rid of those dwellers inside either storm houses for you to train your prisoners. You can use containers in their buildings. Just be sure to remember taking your valuables from their containers before importing.

Once you take out cannibal faction leaders their camps are usually hassle free to some extent. You can use the poles there. Otherwise buy a shack for 4k in town is about the cheapest.

Normal house will do , don't forget to close the door when letting him out.

Maybe you can use shift f12 menu to make a small house somewhere

I have a mod that allows me to build prisoner poles anywhere that is not a "blue zone" for no cost. I wish it wasn't QUITE that gratuitous, because you can spam them at any time and instant prisoner pole, but I've been too lazy to look into the mod and try to tweak it. What I think would be better would be: you have to get to a certain tech level to build them at all (not sure which one, but fairly low and quick). Then you have to have a "low level" work bench of some sort (the lowest one in my mod set is I guess the Camping Work Bench which requires 4 sticks, 1 tool, and 2 steel bars, IIRC). Then you can build "Prisoner Spikes" and "Bindings" at this work bench. The spikes might require a sheet of iron to make about 10 or 20 of them and they would weigh about 0.1kg per spike and take up a 1x2 inventory slot. The bindings would weigh nothing and take up a 1x1 and would be made either out of "nothing" or "almost anything" (not sure how the app handles ingredients, for example if you can specify lots of "OR" relations for ingredients . . .). These could be "built" at about 1/4 the time of an actual vanilla prisoner pole, and be about one-third as secure (so "Level 25" instead of "75?"). If you mount them inside of a structure they are half as secure.
Probably 85% of my clan(s) are recruited from prisoners: Starving Bandits, Hill Maruaders, Triangle Bandits, Green Katana, etc.. They are "free," and sometimes they are quite well-trained already! One of my best soldiers had mostly 20s when I recruited him and he was a scrawny Starving Bandit when we beat the crap out of him, i.e., "first met!"
