Sledgehammer Only In Safehouse
When enabled, players can only destroy world objects inside their own safehouse. Requires "Allow Destruction By Sledgehammer" to be enabled.
Safehouse Allow Non-Residential
When enabled, players can claim non-residential buildings like shops and warehouses, not just houses.
Abandonment
When a player doesn't visit their safehouse for the time set in Safehouse Removal Time, the safehouse becomes unclaimed and available for others.
Default: 144 hours (6 real-world days)
Set a reasonable removal time. Too short and casual players lose their bases. Too long and abandoned bases clutter the map.
Safehouse Respawn
When Safehouse Allow Respawn is enabled, players respawn at their claimed safehouse instead of the main spawn point.
Disable Safehouse When Player Connected
When enabled, safehouses act like normal houses when a member is online. Protection only applies when all members are offline.
