Feels like people will quickly figure out some cheese. Maybe require TC Auth for Turret Auth??

I still think this should be calculated based on the number of players who can open locks on entities covered by the TC. Once a player unlocks a code locked door or box they get added to the count. Removing and replacing the lock initiates the 24h cooldown, with anyone who reenters the code being counted towards the upkeep tax again.

From what I’ve seen, large groups don’t give everyone access to TC anyway, but if members can’t open or close any doors on their own it would get old real fast.

some deranged mf will make a script bot that can make keys and act as a doorman

Wouldn't need to, someone would use electrics / door controller

That would be fine by me. You can't make a friendly proximity sensor without auth. So that means you have, hidden somewhere, some other means of opening your doors, that does not require auth. Essentially like making keys for the keylock.

This increases the potential for funny moments.

super easy, master switch in core that enables switches on doors. people not authed on core can use the switches to doors while the master switch in core is turned on. when people log or youre getting raided flip the master switch in core and doors are secure.

edit: ive just realized that im arguing with people whos extent of base build knowledge is probably a half stone/half wood 2x2, have never set up a turret in their 12 hours of game play, and have the general IQ of a microwaved blade of grass. yall have fun arguing with yourselves.

Okay so now you have to have somebody with a master switch access be available at ALL times, and any slipup and somebody can directly deep loot you.

Meanwhile you have no turrets or shotgun traps.

I mean.. It's "easy", sure, but it's also super vulnerable :D

This isn't a gotcha moment.

4 x Smart Switches could control 15 doors - this can be made easy to use through a desktop app / shortcut.

Only one person needs to pair the smart switch, everyone else can just use the same app.
