I love house in Tin Man encounter: always dreamed to own it since first time I found it 

It would be cool, if not too complicated, to have a similar "choice" like bases, maybe giving science as requirment.

For example:

• Tent: 20 Science, 10 Brahmin skin + 2 Fibers
• Stone House: 40 Science, 30 Rock + 10 Iron Ore
• Small Wooden House: 50 Science, 50 Wood
• Big Wooden House: 60 Science, 100 Wood

and so on...

Well If you "Planted it" You could fuck it Up, Then you problably might not be able to remove it.
eg,
*plants it* " AWW FUCK, THAT BLOCKED MY TENT!!!!!!!!!!!"
*goes on IRC* " ADMIN ADMIN ADMIN, SOME RETARD PLANTED WALLS AT MAH TENT"
*Admin bans him* Reason: dont spam Moderators

You undo it with a hatchet, breaking it. Problem solved.
Also, manuals. IKEA-like.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is this: i'd totally hate to have a door in my house. Opening it every time I want to get in would be frustrating. Second thing are well placed cabinets. Players use their tents/houses to store their crap, not admire how neat it is. If the cabinets were too far away from spawning location, people would just litter their stuff on the ground.

[Wichura]

How people will use their houses is their matter. If you want to place brahmin shit all around - go ahead.

And I think that making whole "IKEA System" is way too far. What I meant was simply using Science on a pile of wood to make a house location, exactly the same way as we are making tents now - is it hard to code/script/whatever? Skills requirements are to discuss, but it should be simple as much as it can be, without placing each wall separately.
And wood weight is now reduced, so with 6 ST and Strong Back perk you can take it like 50+ with you.

[Alvarez]

You know what?

Technically, the map with the tent is loaded client-side, right?

If you don't intend to invite guests, you could build your own tent map using the original size and replace the original with your own 'skin'.
You could share the file with faction members, making a own touch to your faction's base.

All you need are templates for mapping.

The only thing i would suggest, is a 'blocker' item, which couldn't be dropped in cities by living or dead player(disappearing from inventory) (to prevent abuse) and which could act like a wall.
Also, to prevent confusion, the load process should make a difference between 'own' and 'guest' map.

I love that Idea. I hate tent , it for... caniball . HOUSE FOR PEOPLE !

[Ganado]

I like the idea, but, like other people have said, the resources to make such a house should be high, but if you make it high, then, as Izual said, there is the problem you can't carry all the wood required.

Maybe it should make it so that you start out with a tent using 10 Brahmin Hides, like normal, but then you go collect some other materials, upgrade and reset the map again, then some other materials, and finally you have a full little house. Of course the map would have to be reset every time an upgrade happened, so it would be suggested that you do it all at once before you turn it into a storage area.

[Desert Pilot]

I love the overall idea and I also love Alvarez's idea!
Some people are loners and don't want to be in a guild or clan. They should have an equal opportunity to have a cool place for themselves.

[bikkebakke]

As Izual said, there is another thread somewhere in the sea of thread...ness about houses and stuff, might go search for it later >.>
There was this thread: Housing !
But it would be nice to be able to upgrade your tent a bit If I can build a assault rifle out of some junk, metal pieces etc I would build a better home.

[corosive]

lol why not start adding little bonuses to the house then after building it ? add farming capabilities for fruit and fibers, trees to chop, etc.... brahmin pens, water wells... just make it expensive and high in skill use.... just make sure its balanced, kinda like your own personal depot ex.

16k for a buggy, or 16k for a house, 16k for house upgrades, etc....

[Frosti]

All resources near bases must be aliminated as it is now do to bot/autocliker abuse.

nooo, don't add fruit/fiber/tree/any other resource at the tent.

The only thing that would be fun to have would be a brahmin pen for mah brahmin! (just a liiiiittle fence in wich i can put my cought brahmin.)

[Wichura]

Guys, that's nice you have such brilliant ideas like adding X, Y or Z to tent/house, but that wasn't point of this suggestion. Buy a base to gather wood/fibers/e-parts or keep brahmins.
And what worries me the most is that none of devs didn't say a single word here, not even "soon"

[Alvarez]

Because we're being ignored?
Don't let it bother you. They sure already read this topic.
