-1 would deter raiding and force people into apartments.
Let’s look at it like this. Since no one is,
If you can only raid one level/room in an apartment normal bases become irrelevant and people making apartments make huge amounts of money thus flowing our money into one set of people. Or we all live without a home and only carry limited stuff forcing people away from bandit.
Now that we see why that’s bad.
If we make it one level people will flow to a higher floor level or middle and thus making bottom floors irrelevant. If it was my choice and I could raid the full level I’d turn it into a sky base thus making it an illegal base. I have done this before to large bases and they get wrecked for that exact reason. All the people living in it lose their loot if it’s man made.
If it is one level one person raiding can take over the entire floor and make it their own if they clear every single object set by another person.
You can not just assume that the community will just start using apartments instead of their own, separate bases. The more wealthy would definitely be able to build their own bases, but for the less wealthy, this is a good alternative to blowing their entire balance on a building of their own. Sure, some players would start using apartments, but I can tell you right now that it would have a positive effect on the servers instead of a negative. If a bunch of players take a 1x1 or a 1x2 instead of having their own 3x2x2 or something like that, then the amount of lag on the server would drop dramatically, and possibly even solve the whole "lag line" epidemic!
Then when you say that bandits will just destroy the bottom floor of the apartment structure to get it wiped, that is to an effect trolling! If an admin were to stumble across a large base where this happened, I would assume that they are smart enough to understand and place a sign there letting the builder know to fix it before anything further were to occur.
