Kefir says you can rent a vacant plot in an owned settlement at its sign. Community sources report that a Land Plot Title is used for the rental. The exact interface, prices and availability are community-reported and have not been verified in game. Researching an item and buying it are separate steps; check the live purchase screen before spending.
How to use a Land Plot Title
- Community guides say to research and purchase a title using the trade laptop.
- Find an owned settlement with an available plot, then check the district level against the title.
- Inside the settlement, find a vacant rental sign and read the agreement.
- Use the plot plan to place a house and other available structures.
These are community-reported steps, not a verified walkthrough. A title to rent a plot is different from a title to buy an entire settlement. If a title appears unavailable, check whether you completed the purchase after research and whether its level and purpose match the action. Prices can change; do not assume an old guide’s number applies to your server.
Grow Room and Grow Table
Community sources describe a Grow Room as a base production building and a Grow Table for growing plants whose finished output can be sold to a fence. They report that a fan, water pump and UV lamp can speed growth. Unlock order, costs, batch duration and output have not been independently verified. Check the current in-game descriptions before investing, and do not assume an upgrade gives a particular return.
Contraband Workbench
Community sources describe a Contraband Workbench as a separate machine for repacking contraband cargo into more valuable cargo for sale. They also report a label printer for speed and a toolbox for additional space. This differs from the Cargo Workbench, which players describe using to open cargo at a base; see the cargo discussion before choosing what to do with a load. Recipes, processing times and sale margins remain unconfirmed.
Protect the investment
Kefir says a decoder can temporarily grant access to a rival building and that the owner can repair the security system. Its federal raid FAQ also lists plots and bases among assets cleared every seven days. Consider both the security of a production site and the remaining time in your cycle; a building is not a permanent cross-wipe investment. See base raids and the wipe guide.
What Kefir confirms about renting
The developer says a base can only be established in a settlement with an owner: find a vacant plot and pay rent at its nearby sign. It also says plots in level 2 and level 3 districts need special Black Market documents. This confirms the owned-settlement and sign requirements; it does not specify every title price or the full purchase interface.
Finding unlock requirements
Open Shipments with H or the side menu in the desert, Lenny’s Motel or Looty Bay. Kefir says some items require a base in a settlement of a particular level or accumulated jail time. Check each item’s current requirements before purchasing a plot or equipment; those general prerequisites do not establish a specific recipe for the Grow Room.
Reported production economics
A player has reported harvesting plants at a base and described selling their output. That is one community account, with no independent test of yield, setup cost or payback time. Community reports also describe acquiring contraband in a cargo trading area; the purchase price, processing time and sale return may vary and are not verified here. Consider transport and raid risk as well as the listed price before committing a load.
Kefir says fuses can make a Security System harder to hack and defense modules can alert allies. The raid guide explains why even a defended building should not be treated as guaranteed safe.
