Hey Pandas,

With the recent announcement of how you guys are always able to voice your opinion on what is to come, I bring you the first change that is on the plate with many others. Now here it is:

Building in Unturned. The freedom of making a base of your choice with as many rooms, as many walls and as tall as you'd like! Your imagination and creativity will make the greatest base anyone will see. But here's the problem, this is Pandahut and also game mechanics make gameplay after making such bases increase lag both in connection and frames. So here's what was brought up recently.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We've realized that the freedom of building is fun and all but it is causing some issues such as an over abundance of entities and when the server isn't wiped for long, we get invisible structures. Not to mention someone taking that one spot you wanted, bases cluttering too near yours. It also makes it hard for Admins to clear them because they accidentally break into yours! What we propose is removing the freedom of building entirely and add pre-made homes with thanks to our amazing map editor; Miku.
Now I can already hear you screaming "But how can I make shops?!" "waht abut bazes? hw du we haz homes?! "BUT BASES!!!" Don't worry. Keyword: Pre-made homes. Y'know those 2 story homes, the residential buildings on Washington and now new pre-made homes with the new Germany map? Basically, players can make those their homes instead or their shops!

RP would move further and we could even make it so we can add roles such as Landlord, Home Clerk, etc. and as these roles you could claim 1 house or shop, a few of these or an residential area! You can sell homes to players to live in and they pay taxes or you as a normal player can buy these homes and buy insurance and all this good stuff!
Not only will this bring a greater sense of RP, this will help fix a lot of issues with raiding for both police and criminals. As of now, police raids and police searches are very technical and can be finicky at times. Normal raiding sometimes players try to get technical and raid 2 bases because they clip, which is another issue with free form bases. Bases being too big, players not being on to repair them, some people being just straight up dicks and clipping theirs into yours thus starting the technicalities of raiding both because they touch or are somehow connected.

The Pros would be as listed above and here: Bases cannot clip because they are map structures. Lag would reduce greatly because bases cannot be whatever size they want. RP would be enforced as new roles could be added, making shops actual shops and homes actual homes. The problem of barricading yourself into bases or making extremely hard to raid bases no more! Raiding would be straight forward and not get complicated due to what walls can be destroyed or windows. The map would be much bigger, the size of Russia at least, to allow more towns to be added and newer content. New everything!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, with all good things comes with bad things which 2 issues which the size of the issue depends on you completely. With this change, it'll take away your freedom of building entirely. The only building you'd get is limited to what you can put on or in your home, which is really only decoratives such as doors, windows, shutters and on the inside which would be shelves, beds, lockers, tables, etc. The other issue is that the Builder role would be removed entirely and/or replaced with the roles suggested above of Landlord, Home Clerk, Retailer, etc.
These are the only problems we can see so far as the other issues are too small to even list such as the space of these homes, players claiming the biggest home they can leaving small ones for other people. Stores all being taken up. Hidden bases being no longer a thing. Your precious skybase being gone.

Here's the deal, RP is classified into 3 subjects. Light, Medium, Hardcore. Light RP is when RP is not that enforced but it played and is there. Medium RP is something like Pandahut now. People Fail RP all the time and aren't certain characters. Hardcore RP is where it is as close to real life as possible, take Arma 3 as a good example. The goal is to make RP have that middle ground between Medium and Hardcore RP which is what this allows. Not to mention you'd get newer content and those pesky honeycombed bases, oversized skybases, underwater bases with annoying hallways and sentries galore would be gone! Game mechanics prevents actual realism but with changes such as these we can push for a greater rp experience!

What you will be able to buy though with Builder being gone is decoratives, thus making Decorators and Constructors that much more needed. Windows, shutters, table tops. #13 would get a kick out of this change due to there being that furniture mod.

You guys decide!
Should we go with the change or keep it how it is now? Or, do you have a better idea? Vote now!

[Danny Dog]

Hmmm I think that this sounds good but bad. If you get stuck with the bad hose you can't replicate the good one that you wanted

+1 would solve so many issues, but would also make raiding extremely easy for the bandit community.

Sorry man, really cool concept, but -1

I love the freedom of building stuff in video games. Many years ago Mineqwaft PE was all I played, I bought the SIMS4 just for the building, and I'll often hop on singeplayer on germany and just build a hunters cabin or a compound or two. As of now I am building "Camp Kazoo", a children's daycare/summer camp located on the lake near bellevue golf course. Feel free to check it out if you want to know what real building freedom feels like. I have had tons of fun building this freestanding structure, and I would like to keep building how it is . Also I know that loxton is cooking up a free-standing surprise

That would be impossible tbh #13 itself has around 40k unique players out of which at least 10% are active, bringing us to 4k active players, idk how you'd be planning to make 4,000 different houses, that'd be crazy to do lol but idk its an interesting idea, but would require more thinking

A lot of players choose not to build/have bases, and there isnt 4k bases on #13 now

-1
many players prefer to build a house for their own accomodaions regardlesssome deatils such as "WHERE DO I PUT MY SENTRY'S?" and "WHERE DO I HIDE MY LOCKERS?" and many other tactics players have used to prevent their bses to be raided easily or to be wiped easily.
bad sly fox. bad bad bad
