Crafting, why not building?

[Phil The Survivor 19]

As well as performance issues there's also the issue of maps just becoming littered with player created structures.

Then what if only a few specific buildings were able to be "secured"?

For example, in Cherno there could be 1 or 2 securable buildings while in the wilderness you would be able to board up barns.

The point is not to make every building a viable base.

I agree we need more building,

Good luck,

As TeamMarshall said, more building, more sandbox type of game :P so you can use your imagination more...

People here have imagination? That's a new one.

I like the free open roaming of the game and how open everything is.

They could solve it in two ways:

1. Make it so in order to build a structure, it takes time and dedication, therefore limiting structures to dedicated players/groups.

2. If it has not been accessed in 3 days it crumbles, but is still accessible but not repairable. Then maybe another 3 days later it disappears.

Both of these could prevent "server hoppers" from building bases on a ton of servers and keep players dedicated to one specific server. I personally hope each server has its own hive, because server hopping was a huge issue in DayZ's beginning months. It would also prevent people from having one base on server with a ton of supplies and hopping to other servers to make outposts of sorts.

A single player version would be nice for this, if I owned a server I would add custom buildings from friends and other lucky people and upload once in a while

I think the SA would buckle with non instanced buildings, particularly when there's so much more to do!

I like the idea of fortifying a apartment or a house and setup a base there.
