Base Building Guide
Server Rules for Building
- 1 Territory per player. If you’re in a group, each member may still claim their own base.
- Vanilla structures are allowed. Use sheds, barns, and houses creatively.
- No unlimited resources. Nails and sheet metal cannot be purchased — find them in the world.
- Respect PvE. Bases are for survival, storage, and creativity — not raiding.
Getting Started
To begin your base, you’ll need the basics:
- Planks: Found at sawmills, lumber yards, and scattered buildings.
- Nails: Loot industrial sites, garages, and sheds.
- Sheet Metal: Rarely spawns at industrial and construction zones.
Gather enough materials to craft your territory flag, then place it to secure your building area.
Customization & Style
Homestead’s BBP system lets you add personal touches to your base:
- Plaster Kits & Wallpapers: Customize your walls and interiors for a unique look.
- BBP Structures: Build advanced walls, gates, towers, and more.
- Vanilla Building: Reinforce existing structures with BBP pieces to create hybrid bases.
Storage & Furnishings
Your base isn’t just walls — it’s your stronghold. Make it functional with storage and display options:
- Wall Lockers & Gun Mounts: Show off your weapons while keeping them secure.
- Storage Crates & Barrels: Store bulk resources and loot safely.
- Furniture & Decor: Add immersion with working furniture pieces and interior designs.
Tips & Strategy
- Scout your location carefully — look for defensible terrain and nearby resources.
- Farm planks and nails whenever possible; they’re always in demand.
- Organize with lockers and crates so you’re not drowning in loose loot.
- Keep your flagpole maintained or your base will start to decay.
