Maps crowded in bases?

[ivanoinala009]

Hi, i have two questions about maps in multiplayer SCUM

1. So im looking forward to buying SCUM
Buti have a bad memories from Unturned and their maps being crowded in bases
So im looking forward to getting an answer if SCUM maps are crowded from bases or not

2. Also in Unturned maps had alot of random objects placed by players all around the map so im wondering if its the same deal in SCUM

Thanks to everyone that responds!

SCUM's map is very basic and provides only your own player's position. Devs have said in the past that it is on the list for a rework including possible zoom features, marking positions, etc. No timeline is given for these changes and I think it's likely low on the priority list until after 1.0.

Most people use scum-map.com on a second monitor or alt-tab to it. SCUM Admin Helper also has a good map with lots of features.

Ok I thought you were asking about the map as in the screen where you view your position. But I think you're asking about player built objects left all around the server?

Player bases decay over time and will despawn if not maintained. This keeps things mostly clear of other player's stuff.

The only semi-permanent impact is player locks on world-doors, which can become a problem.

Oh thats nice (builds decay)
If its not a problem for another question
If lets say you are a new player on a official server, is it hard to find a base spot (Is map crowded with other players bases)

finding a place for a base isn't a problem at all, both secluded and with a good open view of surrounding areas. Even if you want to live near a point of interest like a town, you'd probably find a good choice of places to build. Besides you always have an option to claim civilian houses.
As for how many bases are on the map, it depends on a server and they are usually not evenly spread. In my experience you'll have like 3-4 bases per square. If you just run somewhere, there is a high chance you'll see maybe one base on the way to your destination.
I should probably add I play on pvp servers only, I don't know how things are on pve servers.

Thank you guys!

The map is very large, there is enough space for everyone.
But there are problems why little is being built now.
1. Cheaters
2. Lock picking system.
This will 99% disappoint you. If the developers don't fix these two things before version 1.0 comes out, the game will disappoint a lot of people 100%.

best part of the game (in my opinion) is PvE currently. It's far more relaxed and newbie friendly , extremely when you find good community PvE server, you can look up for ones with mechs and others without mechs on server,i prefer pve without mechs where mechs still appear as Event

You shouldn't worry about the issues that you've mentioned in the post. The map is large enough so that you shouldn't have the feeling of bases being all over it. Also, players don't tend to leave random structures around the map so it shouldn't bother you.

We're working on it and want to bring the issue of cheaters to a minimum and ensure that our players are safe from them.
