Vaults are not safe at all, Suggestion inside.
So I showed off my vault to one of our servers biggest enemies today as a sign of trust and he suggested I should lock it because there's macros that let you unlocked pincoded things in like 5-10 seconds.

I was like "what?"

So I know its third party and not really a hack, but vaults really need the option to be locked to anyone but tribesmembers, like a door. As it stands now, you dont even need to break them. Just can download a pin code input macro and get in to any Vault without any effort or ingame materials (grenades,c4 etc).

A small fix, but its a big investment for a small tribes and solo players (like me) to make one. It's pretty silly they cant be locked (they're vaults).

Kisses and hugs, hope this gets picked up.

I do think pin code input macro is some kind of hack. Add a 3 second cooldown to wrong inputs could avoid this successfully.

This is a very good idea. I would support that decision.

cooldown would only mean it takes longer, but it'll still be doable anyway. 4 digit only numbers passcode is just too easy. everything that can have a pincode should also have the option to stay locked.

This issue has risen before, one of the devs posted that they were planning on implementing a very long cooldown between guesses. So long in fact it would no longer be feasable to attempt to macro pin codes. I can only assume how long that timer will be. But hopefully the situation will be addressed soon.

Make it an incremental cooldown then, increasing with each consecutive wrong input. This would, however, allow a sort of DOS attack, then. Maybe shorter/constant cooldown for owning tribe members.
