Rules on Raiding?

[Francois LeB]

So I have a few questions about base raiding and building on this server, and how to go about doing so without breaking any rules. As far as I know, there isn't that much* in the official rules that I read when I applied to be whitelisted, so I just want to make sure.

     First, I have heard that you can take a tent, barrel, or other storage device IF you either store the rest of the loot in another container or take the loot for yourself. I'm not sure if this is true for this server or if I heard this about another one, just need a refresher. 

     Second, can we destroy locks and parts of walls in order to get into a base? Once again, I think I heard someone say that this is ok, but that could have been on a different server. Furthermore, what counts as griefing? And that is not allowed, right?

     Third, are we allowed to stack walls on this server? I don't see a reason why we shouldn't be able to, but I'm sure there is and I just haven't heard it yet. With that, can we have walls that "clips" through pre existing structures? 

Thanks in advance for the responces!

Yes if you need to take a container like tent/barrel or whatever, you need to move the items in other containers so they don't despawn or take the items yourself. Now no one will cry if you can't take 5 AK bullets and you leave them on the ground but the general idea is not to leave stuff to despawn, without IC reason as the griefing rule suggests.

Yes you can break your way in a base by cutting a lock or breaking a wall, whatever suits you. Greifing is presented in rule 4.8 and like mentioned above it usually comes in the form of stuff left on the ground to despawn, ruining items, breaking base walls that don't need to be broken without any reasonable IC motive.

Stacking of walls is a pretty debatable topic. You need to make your base realistic. If you want to stack a wall back to back (without clipping) that is fine. However, in case of gates there needs to be space in between the 2 so they don't awkwardly clip with one another. That could be considered AOGM (Abuse of Game Mechanics). In regards to walls clipping through static structures, people have been doing that for a while so I it's nothing banable, just have to keep it within reason. So you can put a gate by a door even if it clips with the actual building.

Would wooden crates work for this? I know they despawn quick so thats why I'm asking

I think wooden crates are OK. But I am new to server as well. 

The reason is we have a bunch of creates that we store items in at are base
