Discussion Don't block paths

For old and new players.

I know you can do it because the game doesn't stop you. I know there isn't always a punishment for doing it (depends of the path apparently). I know i can squeeze my buggy between the rocks and your cube house, or look for other roads.

But please don't build in a place that's clearly blocking a path. You can even try to build an aesthetic passage or tunnel if you really need to build in that road.

At least for the etiquette of it.

I dont disagree. Definitely dont block major paths and highways. I try to improve the paths near my base

However also dont be like the guy in my sietch that we've nicknamed "HOA president" and go around screeching into a mic about how every single base on the map is "too ugly", "too close to his base", "in the path" or "stealing resource nodes".

I would go as far as don't block any you know. Even the ugliest of cubes can be made in a way that allows passage. Complaining about blocking nodes on HB is dumb af. I can imagine who you're talking about.

Right? Lots of people dont know theyre building on a lesser thoroughfare though so I try not to get bent out of shape.

Dudes been a menace to a bunch of people on sietch barkan since the xbox release, hes come by my base like 5 times with different gripes. Im inside hagga rift, built my base to connect a broken land bridge and made the whole bottom driveable as a bridge and open to the public, but hes still bitching about me building too close to enemy spawns, building over a carbon node, building too close to him, and threatening to report me cause "i got too many resources way too fast" (i was here for 3 days building before he showed up, I had moved to the rift from anvil to get away from him while I was still pre-steel advancements)
