building a base or house with raw materials

[fate1122 8]

How about collecting wood,nails,and such to build a home in any shape or size. you could also use a shovel to dig a basement. it would work well with the base defense idea and the blood moon idea to have zombies attack it.

I like the idea of being able to build a base and what also be cool is if people could sabotage the bases...

I was thinking this earlier and was happy to see it was posted on the top of the fourms. definitly a good idea.

I thought about it too.

It could be abused to block doors and roads, just like barbedwire, but there's a simple solution : being able to build the house only in the forest. The game can already check if you're standing in a forest when cutting tree, so it can also check when building a house.

I remember in the Ultima Online days, when players were able to build houses in the forest, there were entire players-built villages outside of the NPC towns. Except in UO we could cut trees, and maybe we can't remove trees in real time in Arma :/

i think they just need to keep the same spawn mechanics as tents and they will be fine tent positioning nearly impossiable to exploit.
