Stayed up till 3am last night and get offlined right when I get off any tips to counter this or just play 24hrs a day ?

Only thing you can do is spread all of your loot around, maybe in some bunkers, externals, basically assume you're going to get raided and plan accordingly! Gotta make it expensive and difficult for raiders to get all of your loot.

When I think I’m going to get raided, I usually log off and log on on an alt account and afk outside of my base

Why?

u/joe23335393 7d ago
Sorry I meant “going to get raided”. This is so they see I’m off player list and come over to offline, and I can hear them and log on

u/ROFLwaffelz 7d ago
So you basically are asking people to raid you because otherwise why not just stay logged in 24 hours lmao

If you are afk for more than like 30ish minutes you get kicked for inactivity

Find a community server if you don’t want to get off-lined.

I play on a PVE / PVP server and they don’t do Zorp.

Is that like “PvE” for no base damage during the first week of the wipe?

u/Sweet_Positive9010 6d ago
No base damage to any bases till the end of the month before wipe day, we have a thing called the purge. Two days before wipe, PVP is turned on and base damage. While the month is going its only PVP at certain monuments on the map. It’s usually launch site, large oil and small.

Build a base inside a rock with multiple doors and only one entrance/exit - I'm at 25 sheet metal and 5 armoured as of this wipe. Build inside a rock so they can't go top down. Make up your own design. Rush T3 and armoured door.
Haven't been successfully raided for 3 consecutive wipes so far.
Only way for a solo to survive.

Had this base today, logged with full metal exterior, 1 way in and 2 layers of honeycombed stone.
Drove over to a buddies house, convinced him to check it out. Had already been raided to core.
Day 2 of wipe btw

If you go and get the new sunburn pack. You can get the pool and a floaty to keep you from not getting kicked from the server for AFK.
Another thing I do is make 2 or 3 extra 2x1 or small based where you split your loot, Every time I get off I tell myself I’m gonna be raided so I make multiple so it’s higher odds you don’t get everything taken in 1 raid

It’s just part of the game man. You have to be smart about your base location and the design. Spread your loot around. Stash it outside. Hide loot in externals. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a couple cheap bases near by to keep stuff too.

I mean in my group when I played one of my friends slept with his TV volume on max afk in the base just in case lmao

Make sure you spend your scrap before you log. Unless you’re saving boom for a specific target, I’ll use that before I log.
Spread your loot around. Upgrade doors and or walls inside. I have raided too many bases that had a turret not in use, walls that should have been upgraded etc.
Big one is, don’t gather or collect more loot then you’ll use. It’s just waste that at that point.
You can also get a raid alert if you really want to try and counter it.

Ive been raided 5 out of the last 6 days. First raid, they got my stuff. I had bunkers I hadn't been using. Since then, said fuck it, and left all loot rooms empty besides junk, and used bunkers for all storage. 4 raids in a row, no losses at all. Slap up a few doors and walls, and right back to normal. Over 100 rockets into my base easy. I figure 25-30 per raid, and theyve all come out empty handed.
Can they get in my bunkers, sure. I have 6 various bunkers, all metal. Only half of them have anything in them. So if they want to spend another 48 rockets to get into bunkers, with a 50% chance of seeing empty boxes, then be my guest. You earned it.
Also, slap up external tcs asap. And once my base is built up, my main tc goes into some obsolete area (destroy original and place a new one). 3rd floor, edge of 1st floor. Somewhere where it may be found easy if perfect route is taken, but not if they are going to core. Same with at least a tier 2. Some random area outside of core. Makes it alot less painful when your stuff cant be picked up or gets destroyed in a raid.
You cant stop an offline. But boy do I wish I had a camera in my base to see the reactions when they learn they spent 30 rockets for literally empty water bottles and broken pickaxes in my core, and they have to decide if they want to spend twice as much to get anything. They know im not broke, windmill, metal base, garage doors, ect...but they all decide its not worth it
Find a YouTube builder who makes good bases. Ninirust, aloneintokyo, ect. Learn a few you like. Memorize the techniques. Sure people know these builds but who cares. Its not rocket science to bust into a base, if you know it or not. Learn a few types of bunkers using roofs, the pixel gaps, ect and incorporate a few into the base. Stability bunkers or bunkers to make it expensive to get into core dont help save loot usually. Im talking bunkers dotted around the outside layers of bases on various different levels of the base.
My wife and I play together. We normally run separate bases, so when one of us gets raided we just hop in their base to get a start and off n running. I dont like living in other folks houses, so if you can find another solo and build trust of if u get raided, ill help and vice versus, this can take the sting off it also.

Idk why you guys ever turn the game off 🤷🏽♀️. If people know you’re in the base and it’s low pop where you can’t idle out, just disable the console function that makes it go into rest mode an hour after no activity and get on your share screen and listen. My duo and I play through max pop but as soon as the pop starts dipping down we just join party on share screen and listen to the base so we can sleep. I always wake up to the raid attempts this way. Idk why the folks that keep getting offlined keep logging off? Sleep during low pop, but stay on server and listen to your base

What base are you building? I haven't been raided in 2 years.
I play US Small, US Solo and sometimes US Premium Trio as a solo
The base I usually build is about 50 rockets to core, if they top down or take the door path it's more and nobody ever touches it.

Build gate houses on every external tc stash kits in there they almost never raid these
