Game realy needs it. 5 digit combination lock. Why?

Recommended Posts

I know about the plans of the developers (not in the near future, however) to change the mechanics of building in the game.
However, there is one thing that needs to be added to the vanilla version as quickly as possible. Yes, it's a 5 digit lock.
And it should be in the vanilla version of the game. We don't want to use mods or we can't if we are console players. 
A 4-digit lock is not a reliable defense for your base.
Players very often use programs, macros and scripts to crack these 4 digit lock. However, they can be afk while the script does it for them.. It takes about 1-2 hours for 1 code lock.
Players now crack 4 digit lock instead of destroying the building. This is a real problem.
All my arguments are based on the experience of administering a vanilla server with 70 people full online every day on PC. Over the past 2 years I've noticed that a 4 digit padlock is not enough in vanilla building.
I hope I will be heard.

Interesting.  Are you saying the developers have distant plans to change base building?  Could you link a source to this information?

As far as locks go, I would agree.   4 dials are pointless.  Staff has said codelocks are not possible because of "reasons" but have only cited lore related reasons.  Which is hilarious.  The reality is that we need something like Codelocks because the game is not stopping the cheating that is currently breaking the mechanic on official servers.   Plus it's a huge quality of life improvement, in my opinion.

Indeed.  The vanilla game could use a codelock.  I know on every server I admin, the codelock mod is essential, even use it for a bit of storage as well.  But I also have a specific raidsaw that can be found very rarely on our servers that you can use to cut a lock.  It's all about balance.
