So over the last 2+ years or so , I've had my P-Claim raided quite a few times. I Learned a little each time for example:
A) Build more torches/braziers to deter attempts
B) Increase P-Claim size so that the raiders have to carry the loot further.
C) never leave nice things in plain sight
D) Keep a back-up key inside your locked house
It seems the way my base is found is just random, some dude or dudes riding around on a cricket stumbles across it... I never leave any scents or commit any type of crimes to bring that type of crowd.
It use to be that the thieves would set up Leantos as close to my P-Claim border as possible and I guess use that to shuttle food back and forth and then ultimately use it to ferry loot once they breach the wall.
Lately however, I have noticed P-claim raiding setups. The P-claims are more of a pain in the @ss because in order to remove them, I have to commit a crime which of course I don't ever want to do. Where as the Leanto's can be successfully bashed down without scents after the raiders move on. I have tried waiting months and still have to turn on criminal acts in order to knock down the P-claim which is obviously out of silver, leaving a long-lasting vandalism scent. (In one case, I'm assuming it was the raider, used my own vandalism scent to stock me!)
Not to mention, there is no way to know if the P-claim stone is bashable (out of silver) , until you commit a trespassing crime.
I was wondering if there were anyway to deter the raiders from building P-claims near my base. Or any other way of dealing with the things without committing crimes. It's never just one either, it's usually 2 of em per raid..
The unsightly P-Claims get in the way of future expansions, and are a constant reminder that the base was raided.
Any advice appreciated...
