    Building a base

    Tools needed.. Spade & a hammer. For each level on the watchtower using metal sheet you will need.. 4x wooden logs, 8x wooden planks, 6x metal sheet, and 40x nails. Using wooden panels instead of metal sheet you'll need 10x wooden planks instead of 6x metal sheet and the nail count will probably differ slightly. All the quantities above are for the PC version, they may differ slightly on console. With the lock in hand and on the "inside" of the gate you should get a prompt to add the lock, alternatively you can bring up the gate inventory and drop the lock in its correct place. On my server I run a mod called "Build Anywhere" which allows players to double stack walls and gates if needed but I'm not sure it would work on a vanilla server due to the collision bullshit they have in place.

    Bow in Dayz

    If it was on PC, you probably got shot with a crossbow. If it was on a console, then it didn't happen 😉

    Reloading BK-133

    Put the cartridges on the hotbar and with weapon in hand, press and hold the corresponding button to load the weapon ?

    which sniper rifle and why

    I swing between the Barrett M82 or the VSD depending on the situation. Both are great rifles and very accurate.

    Cars get RUINED crossing map border

    It has been documented somewhere by BI or a forum moderator, I remember reading it but can't recall where. Maybe Twitter or Reddit but it was some time ago.

    gas stoves bugged or just me?

    @Kirov (DayZ) Electronic ignition ? I always thought matches would be needed.. 🤣🤣

    Bad version,Connection rejected by server

    Either the game is a different version or one of the mods needs updating. Try getting the server running without adding any mods, then if it's the same version on client and server, add the mods back.

    gas stoves bugged or just me?

    Attach the stove to the gas bottle or gas bottle to the stove whilst holding either part in your hands. They will then become one item which when placed you'll be able to light with matches. Put the pot on the ground and empty the water bottle into the pot, add the chicken to the pot and put it on the stove. Watch the timer as it cooks and remove it after one complete cycle or it will burn. Burn't food will make you sick. 😉

    Cftools + DZSA - how to ignore a mod.

    You have @KillFeed_ServerMod in "-ignoremod" and "-mod". It's one or the other not both.

    Bring back Death Audio?

    @liquidcactus Where is that from ? Dayz SA or the Arma 2 mod ?

    Need help with serverTimeAcceleration

    These are my settings ingame and I think they work really well. Try them and see what you think. Server starts just before dawn and ends around 22:30pmish (dusk to darkness). serverTime="2017/09/01/04/30"; serverTimeAcceleration=3; 😉

    cooking food

    I've always cooked the meat I shoot, it's force of habit due to my server having working diseases. There are quite a lot of small shed type buildings that don't have windows and only one way in/out. I use these buildings to light a fire and cook my food as they shed no light to the outside world once the door is closed. Another option I use to cook the food/boil water is too do it in plain sight during the day. No one expects this and no extra light is emited from the fire as it's day time. When I say plain sight, I don't mean in the middle of the main highway on the coast etc. Never had an issue so far 😉

    DayZ Server Randoml Crash/StopWorking

    @FantWings OS : Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 10.0.17763 will more than likely be the issue. Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 or higher is the recommended version.

    Seeds

    They don't take very long to grow to be honest. Maybe and hour to an hour thirty to fully grown. kinda spoils it really but I bet Asda or Tesco would be interested.

    Seeds

    Water them once when you plant them. They will be gone at the next server restart, they're not persistent.

    Will my laptop withstand DayZ?

    Dayz SA will probably not even start with that hardware and if it does, you'll be down to around 1 frame per hour.

    Fire Barrels

    No need to destroy it. Just pick it up like any other barrel and move it. Make sure it's empty though.

    Base Building Issues

    Remove the posts with your shovel from the inside. The same for any other parts to remove, use a crowbar to take down wood/metal panels and wooden frames etc.

    Have anyone been driving the Olga?

    Check the gauge on the dash for the water level. it normally takes around 5 canteens to fill it.

    how to read server crash logs

    The ones ending in RPT will tell you what is happening on your server with regards to actual crashes. Use Notepad++ to read it.

    Cant find pliers anywhere!!??

    Check all the sheds you come across in gardens, I've found lots in those.

    Server Crash logs

    If there not interfering with the running of the server I wouldn't worry about them too much. If on the other hand they are causing the server to crash or become unstable then I would investigate a little deeper to find the cause. Looking at your mod list, it's more than likely one of those causing the issue.

    No loot after editing the types.xml

    @Frogman178 You will have an error (missing semi colon or bracket etc) in the types.xml file.

    No loot after editing the types.xml

    @Fun Automat Handy tool, thanks for the link. 😀

    make a promotion / lower the price of the game ?

    Minimum wage in the UK is age related. The older you are, the more you get. http://www.minimum-wage.co.uk/ The figure you quoted @Amazing Things is slightly less than that in GBP, as that is the highest rate. Pilgrim made some interesting points and in my opinion, the game is way overpriced for the cluster fuck it is. Are you looking to buy the game @Amazing Things or do you already own it ?
