For an insanely long time, you could place lockers and crates in chopped down tree trunks and when they regrew, you wouldn’t even know it was there until it happened. There’s a good chance Nelson will make sure this can’t happen from the start in UII, but similar exploits will exist and it’s a lot of work to potentially fix for a seemingly useless idea. Why bother taking back your base when you could just build another seeing as how wood is infinitely more available than raiding materials, leading to more empty bases on the map and more server lag.
Kylie did a good job finding another exploit a while back
Besides, what if I didn’t get a claim flag for my base before I have to log off? Should I lose my entire base if someone decides to put their own on top of my base in a metal box?
It definitely is, I’m just not sure this is the pivot it should all be balanced around.
