As Combo locks are not currently in the game i would avoid building a base due to people easily being able to access it and take gear.

: Tipi Guide : V3
To Craft Tipi Kit:
Lumber Packs (x2)
Scrap Pelt (x4)
-------------------------
Note: These items can be found naturally or purchased from a trader.
(Scrap Pelts-2 Krypto) (Lumber Pack- 3 Krypto) Total Cost - 14 Krypto.
Note: Only Official Servers will save your gear after restart.
found here - http://www.epochmod.com/servers.php
-------------------------
Finding Naturally:
Lumber Packs - Lumber packs can be acquired by chopping down trees.
To do this you will need to find a hatchet, these can be found in Rubbish Piles & Dustbins.
They are considered to be pretty rare so if you see one at a trader then buy it!.
Once you have your hatchet equip it in the secondary weapon slot. Walk up to a tree and
Left Click to strike the tree, this will place a wooden log on the ground. Each tree drops 4 logs.
To craft the Lumber packs required you will need 4 logs only. (1 tree)
Scrap Pelts - With the current bugged animals you can no longer collect scrap pelts from sheep/goats but don't worry you CAN still get them. With their cheap price in the shop like
the hatchet it will save you a lot of time trying to find them. buy any you can. But if you cant
find a trader to buy one of you can get them from sappers!. Sappers are the brown armless
creatures that will run at you and explode if they get to close. Kill these and they sometimes
drop Scrap pelts. They spawn in nearby when a player is killed. Listen for their groans.
-------------------------
Crafting The Tepee Kit:
Once you have your 4 Logs and 4 Scrap pelts you can craft the Tipi kit.
1. Double Click the Logs. Find "Lumber Packs" on the menu, change quantity to 2. and Craft.
2. Double Click the Lumber Packs and find "Tipi Kit" on the menu, click and Craft.
3. Thats it you have a Tipi kit ready to place. keep it in your inventory until you're ready.
-------------------------
Finding a Suitable Location:
NOTE: There are many different areas where you could place your tipi but i will go through some of
my preferences on placement in a secure and enclosed area.
Secluded: This is an obvious one but i will go over it. the more secluded and further away from
any other players the better. this is going to be for storing your hard-earned gear you don't want
it being stolen as soon as you place any items in it. There is more advantages to isolated bases
if you have a car as you can quickly go back and forth rather than having to run a very long distance to get back to your stash.
Use your map to find any areas that aren't near major towns. or near traders as these will frequently be visit to by other players. Good areas include:
- Northern Coast of Altis
- North Western Corner (north of Kavala)
- Southern Island (past Melanera bay)
- Atsalis (if you have a boat)
Buildings: Buildings offer a lot of benefits for stashing your gear, they are basically a free set
of cover from all sides so that you don't get taken out. not that you should be anywhere where
that could happen but that's irrelevant. Secluded buildings in the middle of no-where are very
unlikely to be checked by players so placing your Tipi in one of these "middle-of-no-where"
buildings has the potential to work quite well. i.e Old Farmhouses. Small Homes etc..
Reeds: Reeds are pretty much perfect when it comes to hiding your Tipis, with no collision
detection and almost 100% thickness it is almost impossible to see Tipis from the outside, most
of these Reed patches have an inside area totally enclosed by the reeds making your virtually
invisible to ground units. Finding a secluded spot with reeds will make your base basically undetectable. Unlike the building the only issues are with choppers flying over being able to see down into the reeds so when placing a tipi here make sure to get a considerable amount of the Tipi pushed into the reeds so it doesn't get sighted easily from the air. but there's a very low chance
of that situation occurring.

Changes:
V2- Pictures added to the sections / Links added for official server list.
V3- Corrected some spelling mistakes. Updated Sapper spawning info.
-
there WAS sheep/goats.. but now their bugged i think and you can only see their shadows.
you can get hides from the Armless monster things
-
i second the play with friends..it does spawn more stuff
-
the rain volume was fixed in the update for arma 3 today! hozzah!!!
-
I believe this was fixed. You should be able to fit a Lynx even into a backpack now. o.o
really? i havent been on today its just been annoying this last week. though i mean if you didnt have a backpack or slash. just being able to give it from the hand
-
Picking up a gun you dont particularly want but not having a backpack to fit it in etc to sell it at the traders.
Just like in Wasteland servers a "Sell in-hand" button that will add the gun you have in hand to the trade box or simply allow you to click it in from the trader menu instead of having to add it to your inventory.

Server : BNRF.ME (official server)
I've made groups and gotten my friends in them before on this server.. today its not working after the server reset i think.
I made the group, but i invited my friend. he accepted but still nothing, it wont add him to it.
After i tried to remake the group by deleting my current one, it wont let me do that either.
-
lose it when you die.
-
Group of 4: 18+
English
-
i use a tipi on a "non official server" and i can place it fine.
-
We made a Tipi and filled it with some stuff we had spare.. the server restarted and we lost it all..
Is there a storage box etc we can make which actually saves our items?
-
I found a hatchet and have the swing and im guessing you hit trees to collect wood..
but what do you do from there to make it "baseable" ??
-
itd be good aslong as it wasnt to dense.
-
im slightly jel.

For Tipis to work correctly you must connect to an offical server.
http://www.epochmod.com/servers.php <------ Found Here.
Any servers apart from the ones on this page are un-official and will delete the tipi iteself or the items in it on restart.
All of these will work perfectly normal and save everything.
