Territory & Upkeep

The generator that claims your ground, the fuel it burns, who it authorises, and what happens when it runs dry.

A generator claims your ground. It's the only thing that stops decay, and the only thing that keeps other people from building on top of you. There are no territory flags here — the generator is the territory.

Getting one#

Buy the territory generator kit from Jaeger in the safezone for 250,000 ₽. The old sticks-and-rope territory craft is switched off; this is the only one.

Keeping it alive#

  • The generator burns hideout fuel — 1,000 ₽ a can from Jaeger — not nails.
  • A can holds 100. The generator itself holds 1,500, fifteen cans to fill.
  • It burns 50 fuel a day on its own, plus half a unit a day for every piece you've built. One can lasts about two days on an empty plot and about one day on a 100-piece base — a can is a top-up, not "fuelled". A full generator runs a 100-piece base for about two weeks.
  • A fuelled generator repairs damage as fast as it accumulates. Decay only runs while the server is up.
  • Run dry and the generator itself starts breaking down. Within 24 hours it's ruined, the territory is gone, anyone can open it, and every piece you built begins losing health. Refuel before you log off, and put more than one can in.

Who can build#

  • 36 m radius, 3 authorised players including you — the size of a group. Groups.
  • Anyone not on the list can't build, dismantle or rotate inside it.

Two things people get caught by#

  • Storage decays too. Tents, barrels, crates and furniture only survive inside a fuelled territory. Left out in the world they rot like anything else. Storage and decay.
  • An authorised player can dismantle the generator with bare hands and gets the kit back. Take the fuel out first — it won't pack up while it's still powering the base, and the prompt tells you so.
