You can claim an existing building by claiming the doors of that structure. Simply look at the door and hold F to see the option "claim this for _ fame points".

As Space Tomatoes said, you will need fame points to claim the main building doors, but this won't be enough to protect yourself - you will also have to make fortifications on windows and locks on the doors.

Ouch.
First people lose base after base to no flag now this poor person figures a flag is how you claim a house.
Can you guys either unify it so once you learn one the other makes sense.
I mean what would really make sense is no flags.
Anyways I hope there is a comprehensive solution to the confusion for new players.

Maybe the locks can be used to establish the land ownership, instead of flags, otherwise we'll be right back to people just climbing over palisade walls with watchtowers. Not sure how the programming would go, though.

I think this is a good idea.

If you claim a building by spending Fame, what does that get you? Curious what happens to the containers? Can you use the cabinets etc to store stuff, or do they still reset/respawn. I assume you can build inside of it...chests, etc.

DONT CLAIM DOORS LOCKS ARE TRASH. DONT BUILD BASES, ITS A JOKE ON YOU.

only bury a box somewhere. also dont play purely nomadic without bury boxes you will weigh far too much and run around like a fat kid. its encumbered gameplay that really gives scum the walking simulator reputation, but since bases and claims are trash you are kinda F'ed. if you fail to follow these instructions you will be deprived of time and energy and find only mild enjoyment and anxiety in exchange of.

Does this still work? Even in PVE? It seems there is none of the locations you mention here (e. g. house at lake) possble to be claimed anymore :-(
Do I need any prerequisites? Any special skill? Anything in the inventory?

This changed a few patches ago.
Now, you no longer 'claim' a door with FP.
You now simply craft a lock and then lock said door.
No FP needed...
