require flag to be built before any base elements

I keep finding bases without flags because new players dont realize a flag is needed. I think this is something that needs to be fixed.

It depends upon what kind of base. If you lock a in game house or garage you don't need a flag for the locks to work! You only need a flag for player crafted gates and cabin doors!
On pve servers with base damage off and with playervplayer lock picking turned off, players can put flags inside their cabin and the base is secured!
So I say no! to this for these reasons!

i mean this guy had locks on his base door, crates, lock protection, i tried to do the right thing, went to the nearest pois looking for nails so i could build him a sign saying "u need base flag" but couldnt find the nails and i needed those locks...

official servers are rough now loot wise.

That would have been a disservice to him/her. If the base has no flag then somebody could, if they knew about the lacking a flag, build a flag outside the wall and presto, all the locks and base belong to them. Except for vehicles and chests on the floor of course.

Hey there OP, this might be one of the things that will enter the final tutorial once everything is finished up. Also please do note that it's possible some of the bases you encounter are missing flags because it's possible they were destroyed (either by someone overtaking the flag and then destroying it or destroying the base building element that the flag is placed on).
