Raiding and dismantling an indestructible base?

[bronic]

This may be a stupid question but i cant find anything that specifically answers this.

 

On an indestructible base server, if you have built a base and have your plot pole down and locked inside but then you get killed. Can someone then place another plot pole next to your base and start dismantling or taking the locks off the door?

 

As far as i understood how the plot pole works. A plot pole once placed and after you have been killed, will not let anyone build on the plot until the plot pole gets replaced. Do i understand this right?

 

Basically exactly this happened to my friends base. He had control of the plot pole and placed it inside. We got sniped outside of the base with the doors locked. When we got back some guys had placed a plot pole nearby but im pretty sure it was past the 30m limit of our plot pole. It looked like they were trying to place a plot pole so they could dismantle the base.

Probably trying to build over door maybe? Sounds weird as I understood plot poles to work in the manner you described. I'll try and run some tests but cannot guarantee I can replicate it totally as I use 100 meter plot poles. I will try though and report back what I find out.

But then again thinking about it, is the plot pole null once you die? Hence the need to pull it and replace it? Your original thought May be correct

Thanks, i would appreciate it.

Ill be trying to replicate it myself and will report later. Waiting for one of my friends to get on. I understood the plot pole once placed and you die, to still not let anyone including you build within the distance limit until its picked up and placed again

Your plotpole is assigned to your characterID. When you die, your characterID changes and you no longer "own" it. You need to pull your plot pole up again and replace it or else you won't be able to build within the plot pole's 30 meter range. You'll probably break some toolboxes and crowbars before you successfully remove it though. No one else can place a plot pole within 45 meters of your plot pole unless the server admin has adjusted the range.
