       Base Building Question
   DIR By: Second Class Elitist
       Date: September 5, 2016, 1:33 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Spent a lot of time looking but couldn't find anything specific,
       so thought I'd ask before the A15 reset:
       When base building in the PVP zone (or, I guess, also the PVE
       one) is there a requirement that your base be visible?
       As in do you have to have a component of your base that is
       obviously a base visible at a height where players could expect
       to see it, or is it possible to build a base completely
       underground save for a hole in the dirt?
       A fellow member on the site and I had a discussion about it. He
       was pretty sure you needed to have a visible element, but an
       exhaustive search of pvp rules hasn't turned up anything.
       Thanks in advance!

       You Can build however you want. there does not need to be a
       visible part of your base.

       Many bases are hidden

       I think most people start hidden. Then when they have mega
       resources they build up , all at once.
       This makes it more fun for late game PvP.
       But it really does depend on the person.

       Wait though, it is true that you can do anything you want, if
       you don't intend to raid.  The key here is - you have to allow
       yourself to be broken into if you are going to break into
       someone else's base.  Needs to be a two-way street.  Same reason
       people with bases in the North can't just go south and raid.
       I'd say you could argue a point if you have an interestingly
       styled base that actually looked like a mountain or something,
       but simply creating a hiddy-hole that no one could ever find
       would be about the same as having a base in the North, except it
       would be less travel for yourself.  You'd be able to take
       someone else's stuff and never suffer the same danger.
       Of course just because you are in the South doesn't mean you
       have to raid.
       In the Nav map I used to find hiddy-holes by walking around with
       a claim block in my hand.  When it went red, I had detected
       another person's claim block.  Then by finding and marking the
       corners of the "red zone" you could locate the actual, specific
       location of the land claim block and thus go to work.  However,
       on an infinite map it's just not feasible.  Way too much space
       involved, but... if a person really wants to, and has an idea
       where to start looking, they can still find those "hidden" rebel
       bases.

       To piggy-back on CM's comment, the other side of the coin is
       also true.  Sometimes even if my base is in the North I will go
       hunt players in the South.  I won't raid, though, because I
       don't have a base that could be raided in return.

       Thanks for the input gents! I think that's likely what he was
       referring to.

       If I PvP my base would be a double secret hidden base. Your
       claim block tricks, will not work on me, ha ha ha ha!
