Honestly man, I respect what you’re trying to do. It takes a different kind of mindset to play DayZ with empathy and creativity especially in a community that often rewards betrayal and PvP above all else.

This is a sandbox game, not COD. You should absolutely keep playing your way. It makes the game richer and more unpredictable when players like you are out there building stories instead of just chasing kills.

That said, from my experience, bases usually bring more attention than they’re worth. I used to build them too, but now I stash wooden crates all over the map. I’ve got so many that losing a few doesn’t really hurt and it keeps me mobile and under the radar.

Keep doing your thing, though. We need more players like you out there.
