Guides · Bases and raids
At night everybody sleeps (bases too)
The server has a raid window: from 10:00 to 02:00 you can attack, from 02:00 to 10:00 bases are protected. Here is what that means in detail.
In short
- Raids open every day 10:00–02:00, Italian time.
- At night walls, doors, boxes and TCs take no damage.
- Building next to someone else's base at night does not protect you.
The schedule
Raids open · 10:00–02:00Bases protected · 02:00–10:00
The window is the same every day, weekends included. When it changes, a [RAID] message in chat warns everyone, and an indicator
at the bottom centre of the screen stays green while raids are open and red while they are closed.
In game, type !raid to see how long until the next change.
What is protected at night
- The base structure: walls, floors, foundations, roofs and every building grade.
- Doors and gates, external ones included.
- Deployed items: boxes, furnaces, beds, workbenches and the like.
- The TC, of course.
- High external walls, bars, barrels, sleeping bags, batteries, signs: protected only when under a TC.
The block applies to every kind of damage: explosives, bullets, melee, fire, arrows, cannons. If you try, the server replies "Raid OFF: damage cancelled" and your rockets become an expensive fireworks show.
What is NOT protected
- Traps and turrets: auto turrets, SAM sites, shotgun traps, flame turrets, mines, bear traps and spikes. At night anyone can destroy them: the turret defends your base, but nobody defends the turret. Put it where it is hard to reach.
- Vehicles: cars, minicopters, moored boats. They can be destroyed at night.
- Twig without a TC: a twig block not covered by a TC breaks at any time, by anyone.
Building at night
What you build or place between 02:00 and 10:00 is protected only if two conditions are met:
- it is covered by a TC you are authorised on;
- there are no bases of other players within 10 metres.
If even one is missing, anyone can destroy it until 10:00. The server tells you as soon as you place it: "This build is NOT raid-protected".
Players authorised on the TC can also demolish and rebuild parts of their own base at night, twig included.
