Guide 50newUpdated 2026-04-27

Quick Start

  • Look at a door and press E to buy, rent, lock, or unlock when allowed.
  • Use your keys tool for door and vehicle lock actions.
  • Buy a base before placing valuable machines inside.
  • Share access only with people you trust.
  • Government and job doors may follow special access rules.

Details

  • Door ownership is server-authoritative.
  • Owners, co-owners, organization access, and admin access are checked by the host.
  • Police and raiders can interact with doors through tools, warrants, or breach rules.
  • Some doors auto-lock for government use.
  • Shared access helps friends use your base without giving away full ownership.

Gotchas

  • A locked door is not a perfect shield.
  • Lockpicks, battering rams, warrants, and fading door devices all matter.
  • If you change jobs, some job-specific access can change.
  • Do not build in a way that blocks required map flow or staff access.
