Base Stability System Concept

[RainOfPain125]

Hurricanes should not be a thing. That’s incredibly stupid.

Ignoring the whole hurricane concept (that was just something that gave me this idea. And speaking of, earthquakes would be cool, too. Imagine if all Unturned buildings, even map ones, were subject to damage, and could fall apart or turn into a decayed state?)

@AtleSt

introducing stability to the building system would increase the intelligence of building designs and stop people from building skyscrapers just because they are harder to raid.

I agree

@AtleSt

i like this suggestion but it would be cool if it wasn’t just a straight copy-paste from rust.

Very similar to my Apex Legends voice-lines and pinging suggestion, if it isn’t broke, dont fix it. Rust’s system is a good example, and never did I say “do a direct copy”, just using it to serve as a foundation (haha, get it) or basis of the concept.

From my point of view the suggestion rain made is extremely broad and can be taken many ways, I took it as yet another non-specific rehash of a common sense idea, it’s understandable that it could get pidgeonholed into something that would be controversial, but if you only read the post itself, it’s pretty normal. I like big tower bases as well, I just don’t want to see skyscrapers or other weird things, and a system that prevents this is a good thing. Again, due to a massive lack of details, it’s pretty trivial to argue/discuss this outside of interpretations, because of how broad the suggestion is.

I kept the suggestion broad on purpose so that you guys may converse about how you think it should be, or better yet how Nelson thinks it should be. I think lots of suggestions get blundered and forgotten because the suggestors go too into detail to the point where nobody except themselves can agree with it. For my future posts I want to keep things short and sweet, and so far I’ve received excellent results.

@P9nda

I like the overall idea. I dont think skybases should exist as they are probably going to be overpowered with the new raiding balance.

I agree, skybases, at-least in their current state whereby they need no foundation with the ground are overpowered and should be abolished.

@HoldBaker

Official servers likely won’t have /tp and /home.

The problemo with 3.0 is that Nelson completely disregards modding when he makes official additions to the game, with rare exceptions like Sentries on vehicles (which was a mess on creative servers). In 4.0 I think all systems and mechanics of Unturned should be a true/false system whereby, for instance in this argument, Base Stability can be set to false and then building skybases for /tp /home servers is possible.

Even then, yes, I’ve seen on some occasions groups build skybases on vanilla servers, however more commonly I’d see smart groups do things like this -

All it is, is just a floating defensive platform above Zavod which gives them the ultimate advantage over the entire area. It is connected by a single large metal plate to the ground. Had there been a reasonable stability system this would be impossible.

@HoldBaker

Particularly if you are a person who plays on the official servers.

And this is pretty exclusive, not something we want to do in the community, do we? This is the same line of thought I exposed in the “official servers encouraging p2w” post. It goes along the lines of -

“if you wanted the fair experience then you should’ve gone out and bought the pass to play the official servers”
