  • The tent is the first base; it holds a primitive workbench, primitive furnace and storage crate.
  • Built from metal parts, among other materials.
  • Cannot be placed inside a PvP zone.
  • The tent can serve as mobile storage on the road since it can be summoned once every game day.
  • Tent is personal; owner can set its storage permission to personal, company or public.
  • Setting a tent to company lets teammates use its storage.
  • The tent can be summoned or moved once per game day.
  • The tent is now customizable (Tent Styles).

Alpha 5
  • Made by hand from 15 Cloth, 50 Wood, 3 Sinew and 8 Metal Parts.
  • Crafting takes 10 seconds; known from the start.
  • Vendor price: 20 gold.
  • Tent can be tinted a colour (purple, forest green, blue shown), and owners can let others customize it.

Alpha 4
  • Your personal tent camp; a fast travel point and a place that clears Lawless tags.
  • Tents cannot be placed in PvP areas; devs plan to allow it with the PvP server ruleset.
  • There is no abandonment or decay in Alpha 4; tents and ranches stay until the server resets.
  • Tents have signs with custom text; developers can ban players for offensive sign text.
  • On the PvP server a tent is used to clear Lawless tags from fresh loot, not only for travel.
  • The tent has a cooldown of one game day, so groups track whose tent is ready.
  • In Alpha 4, huge clusters of tent camps formed outside the starter outpost, which the team sees as a design issue.
March alpha
  • Can be placed anywhere; setting it public lets others use it and allows checking mail.
