How do YOU survive being logged out?

[Spanky]

So i'm wondering, how do you manage to keep your stuff safe overnight when you're logged out?

Lastnight i made a house (not a shack) with metal door, logged out inside my shabby 1 floor place and came back to...nakedness. So it seems people are willing to use c4 frequently, and it also seems quite common if people are willing to use it on crappy houses.

So yea, tell me how you successfully manage to wake up and still have your stuff overnight :)

Also; Do i need a huge house with doorways in each segment, to make them waste lots of c4?
Can i place multiple doors on one spot?
What is the best way to build to deter people from breeaking in and wasting far more resources than they make back?

Yeah I am working on making my houses entrances with a scuba/astronaught style two phase door system.. But apart from that I have no idea, bandits will find a way in anyway- Yesturday not only did they steal my house my friend and I built but they also blew up my shack down the road that had backup supplies :/

I'm thinking of building in a high radiation zone -_-

This type of scenario is precisely what is keeping me from buying this game. I really don't feel like starting from scratch on a daily basis.

Would be nice if they let you dig a hole (oh no I'm suggesting something similar to minecraft!) and just stuff you ♥♥♥♥ in it. Really would be the best way to hide your items to bury them in a spot only you knew.

good call! realistic too, bury that ♥♥♥♥ near the mossy side of a tree three clicks from anywhere in a place only you can find it... You should have to camouflage it yourself too so if you do a bad job somebody may spot it.

This is destroying the game for me. My buddies and I have to keep on starting over, its really killing it for us and were probably gonna wait till Beta. Ive played 10 hours and have nothing to show.

So if some Guys vlow up a Base and u banned them, is there a way to get the Stuff back? Are there Database? Whats with Nighttime when Admins are sleeping and some Guys blow up a Base and no1 is there to ban them?

My idea was to build a 4 story house with multiple walls inside each story (like the layers of an onion). Just 2-3 walls/doors per story would do it. Getting through the first 2 walls/doors would only get them into the bottom floor. They would need to do that 2-3 more times to get the loot.

On each floor there would be mulitple walls just like the first floor with only the top floor being an open floor plan. It takes 2 c4 per door/wall and I figured that if I could make them use 16-18 c4 charges just to get to some crappy loot on the 4th floor it would at least deplete them of their explosives before they get it. I've seen variations of that on YouTube but I'm not sure how well it would work. Once I buy this game around Christmas I guess I can put it to a test.

If people are happily using C4 to get at your stack of wood and pile of charcoal then C4 needs to be way harder to craft than it currently is.

I agree, but in the vids I've watched I've never seen the crafting option for c4 or explosives in the menu. I did see somebody get explosives off a downed player though but I imagine you need blueprints before you can craft them. How hard the blueprints are to get is beyond me and I believe there will be some changes made concerning their availibility it the future.

On a side note, you don't even need c4 to get through a door. A wooden door can be hit with a hatchet 125-150 times and it will be destroyed. A metal door is much harder but they can be destroyed like that as well. With enough doors though, it would take 1250-1500 hits just to get to the loot that way. I think that would be enough deterent for most people. Especially if there are other places easier to get in to.

The cargo planes drop a fair few c4 per time, although i'm not sure how often they are. But people can easily use the kits to learn the blueprints, then let their friends copy the item so they can then make it. It seems the explosives (c4+grenades, etc) don't take an awful lot of effort to make (sulphur and gunpowder and stuff...which are easily made), hence why people are using them so frequently.

I've yet to see someone post here on how they survive. Do all of us who have posted here so far just die every night?:D I'm about to log in after 10 hours away, i wonder if i'll be naked again or not...

I really don't want to have to farm thousands of wood just to keep my few crappy items safe each night :/

c4 is to easy to get right now apparently because of the rampant duping ... theres even gameplay vids on this board that have people duping the hell out of c4 to raid others bases (never shows him dupe actually but always has a full bar of stacks of c4 and when he runs low video glitches forward a bit and poof full bars again .. hrmmm)
