Hello, I'm pretty new and now I finally managed to make a claim stone. My question is how does the claim work? No one can acces the area which is green? Can someone explain me in detail please?

the claim will prevent your stuff from decaying. people can still access the claimed area by committing crimes, but you can build walls and braziers and torchposts to defend your place against criminals. do you have more specific questions?

If a person wishes to access your area they can if they have trespassing. They may also steal from you if they have larceny. They may also destroy your items including your claim stone (if it is unpaid). They may also burn your buildings down if they have arson. If you notice things missing on your claim you need to click adventure -> and tracking. You will be able to see what someone has done on your claim.


Keep you PClaim stone towards the middle of your base if you are going to use it as a homestead. Use a leanto as your homestead if your claim stone is near a wall. Build walls and make sure they are on your claim. Lock your doors and keep them closed at all times.

pretty important to note: doing criminal acts leaves scents which you can use to track down said criminals (even at such an early stage I would counsel not to act against them, as they're likely in a stronger position than you)
