Where can I find the server files? Got a link? ...And are they different on PS4? 🤔

Probably. Not very emotionally mature. LOTS of mental illnesses. 🤭 It's not his advice I have a problem with, it's his passive/aggressive condescending attitude. Derleth shared advice in a way that didn't piss me off, for example. Parazight should try THAT route, instead of trying to insult me. I'll only register that as garden-variety bullying and get pissed off by it lol; any actual "advice" flying right over my head lol. ...I'm not emotionally mature. 🤪

Weird; thanks for the heads up. ...This might mess up my OCD playstyle/continuity a bit lol. 🤭

You done yet?

Ahhh, that must be one of the things included in the recent updates on console. Sounds like what you're talking about might be a glitch; you shouldn't be magically displaced outside your base when a dynamic toxic zone is present, you should be fine so long as your indoors, or wearing the right PPE and gas mask if you happen to build in the woods. Hopefully the developers find a solution to the displacement problem. I have yet to encounter a gas attack. I've heard them going off in the distance, but I avoid cities; I prefer small towns. The cities make the game glitch too much for me.

Relatively new; I've been playing for over two years. I don't hide valuable items on my person, because I'll lose them if I get killed. Likewise, I don't hide valuable items in stashes without knowing they won't despawn if I forget about them. That leaves Bases as the prime location for storing valuable items; particularly a base with a flag to prevent shit from despawning. People don't generally take barrels and sea chests. They're really big and heavy, make you move slow, make you more vulnerable; generally speaking it's just not worth the time and effort. In the event some complete idiot does try to run away with a chest or barrel, revealing the pile of dirt, UNLESS they have a digging tool on their person at the time, they won't be able to dig it up because I don't keep the keys to my safe in my house. They'll have to go find their own. And then start digging up stashes until they find one that might actually have something in it, hoping their tool doesn't get ruined before they find it. Spoiler alert: They aren't going to. Lmao, and where do you store the valuable items? On your person for someone to loot, or buried somewhere anyone could stumble upon it? 😅 That aside, I keep all my farming, digging, raiding and other hand tools in a Base meant specifically for tools; way more than I need; lots of duplicates. Doesn't matter if those bases get raided. I always keep a pickaxe on me when I have stashes buried anyway; just nice to have a place to go to to get hand tools after dying without having to search all the sheds. ...Lmao...you do realize that if someone BURIES an item...they ALREADY have something to dig it up with. I'm starting to think you just wanted to pick an argument with me because you were friends with the Neo-Nazi I got banned lol. 🤭 Actually I play with my cousin and her friends. Decided IRL friends are the only ones I can trust. They're going to invite their trusted friends. Over time it'll grow. I'll send you a postcard when my vision has come to fruition. More petty insults against my intelligence. Building inside structures is completely possible. I HAVE actually done it. Admittedly though, I don't know what you mean by the gas bomb mechanic. Sounds just as expensive and time-consuming to put together as the Cooking Pot Bomb. Probably why it's never happened to me. Or maybe it's just a PC thing. I'm on console. I'll post a vid some time; it's easier than you think. You might just suck at the game too much to pull it off. And I never said they shouldn't seek a solution; you're trying to put words in my mouth. Regardless, it's difficult to believe that you actually give a flying fuck about the topic of this thread, and are merely here to try to start drama. You're username is a truly wonderful descriptor. 🙄

1.) Bury your valuable shit in your base and put barrels, sea chests, and wooden crates over the dirt piles. Don't keep any digging instruments in the base. Long-term, you can form a militia of trusted friends and set up watch-shifts so that there's always a couple people in the base to defend it against raiders, glitchers and swimmers. Building inside existing structures could be another option; doesn't really matter if they glitch into the Cherno Apartments, for example. 2.) I log out while swimming at the start of every life, then I log back in when it's dark. I like beginning each life soaking wet, freezing to death, with yellow hunger and thirst, in pitch black conditions. I like the extra challenge lol. If we went with your solution, I wouldn't be able to play the game the way I do. A better solution would be for the developers to just fix the game so that players CAN'T glitch through the map.
