Outpost Identification Warning

  1. [SUGGESTION]

    Maybe this could be coded so that when a player enters near an outpost a message pops up to warn them that they are in an Outpost area which is restricted for building or altering of any kind.

  2. Not sure what you are suggesting here…
    there’s already a welcome/exit message 100? Blocks around frontier outpost spawns.

    if you are referring to a player build area/outpost claim far inside the frontier, it would possibly be included in with Outpost update in the future, which I would assume would indeed have entry/exit messages as other residences in EMC, but doubt that will happen anytime soon.

    I would just suggest laying out Welcome structures/roads bordering your build area- it should be obvious to not build near you; you can also add signs if you are worried about that issue. [Message] signs could also help you.
  3. My question is why does the link at the top go to my completely unrelated suggestion? :p
  4. I believe that the player-owned outposts currently don't exist, so to speak. They are represented solely by a locked chest and a forum thread. When someone requests another, staff manually (well, not really, they use a command, I assume) the area for other locked chests. This would make your suggestion involved to implement. The forecast feature of Empires should make this possible, I think.
    Edit: This suggests that indeed, player-owned outposts are not represented in-game.
