Base symbols

Recommended Posts

Good morning,

Does anyone have a link to what the symbols mean in the base building ? I'm not sure if i need a metal sheet or to build a fence.

Kind Regards

on pc you dont need metal sheets to build a fence, only planks, cut tree trunks for posts and nails.

You can use metal sheets though.

Step 1
2 logs (4 logs for the tower) => use the Shovel

Step 2
Nails and planks for the skeleton of the fence => use the Hammer or the Sledge Hammer

The walls can be created with wood planks or metal sheets

 

You can add the following items (from left to right in the "Accessoires" category):

  • Camo Netting
  • Barb Wire at the bottom of the fence
  • Barb Wire at the top of the fence

You can transform you fence to a fence gate with a Wire (after the metal sheets) and add a combinaison lock (not visible on the screen but it's just after the wire).

As side note does anyone know if if you build something like a cart to carry things from else where? I carried a bit of sheet metal by hand. .... It took forever 😂😂.

Obviously having a car helps. If not, a big back pack with nothing in it. You can carry a couple of tyres or big objects in one and still run. Full Jerry cans totally rinse your stamina though, even in a back pack

Hi,

i didn't realise you could carry stuff like that in a back pack@DayzDayzFanboy , definitley think you should be able to build a cart mind. Maybe i'll try to build a car 😂

I've been playing this game for a while and with some buddies. Out of all my buddies, all the hours playing, distance traveled, and locations looted...only 3 of us have ever found barbed wire. If you are trying to build a base, what's even the point of adding barbed wire to one dense if the barbed wire is so rare to find. We've looked all over between military and civilian locations and its beyond rare to find. 

You're not supposed to dupe and really harcore players cry about server hoppers, so what are you supposed to do then. Play the game for 2 years straight and maybe have enough barbed wire to cover 5 out of the 15 to 20 walls on your base?

I'll be honest with you, barb wire is rare and it's a fact. Currently, barb wire is pretty much useless, it's not going to be a layer of protection for your base anyway ^^'

And about the dupers and hoppers all I can do is to tell you to join a private hived server to limit all of those issues. I know it's sad but all we can do is to play on a private server and/or modded server until the devs tweak the base building issues...

That will be pretty hard, this is the Xbox-section of the forum and there is none of those in this version of the game.
