Building takeover

One of the things you could do on vanilla server, and you couldn’t do on our moded server is – taking over buildings from other players.

If you’re just starting it’s much easier to take the existing building from other players, then to build from scratch.

Main obsticle in doing this was the fact that every building part is owned by the player that placed it.

So, owner of the door frame is the owner of the door, and since you can’t open a door owned by some player if you’re not in his Tribe, you couldn’t take the building just by placing the doors.

Furthermore, those buildings ware not protected with offline protection mechanism when you would go offline

Well, this has now changed.

Bases owned by a player that are more then three days offline are now available for takeover.

You must be in cupboard radius, and have a building permissions to be able to take over the house.

So, if the house is closed you still need to break in, find the cupboard and then you’ll be able to claim it for youself.

Method you have to use to take over a building:

1. type /take in chat, and you’ll notice a “Takeover” icon on the screen
2. hit every element of the building with a hammer to rewrite the ownership of those parts to yourself
3. enjoy your new home

I’ve also implemented an icon for owner reporting. So if you type “/owner” in chat, you’ll notice a “Owner” flag on your user interface.

If you have any suggestions, please write in comments section bellow, or on our forums.
