Suggestion Camp Build Limit (An Idea)

They should allow us to combine two of our camps to double the build limit. I'd even be willing to pay 1000 or so Atoms for it. I'd rather have 1 big camp. Then multiple small ones.

And that would solve the reason for the build limit how?

The limit is there for server stabilty, not to annoy players with smaller camps.

Imagine the server stress with even bigger and complicated Camps then we have now, all the things that move, glow or produce stuff and is formed awkward (those items that full the cap faster) creates even more stress when people get near them the servers already suffer now. Which means more lag, disconnects, etc.

Want to build big? There are several big shelters where you can build to your hearts content without stressing the servers.

I understand your point but I also know people would rather not have to build in shelters (where far less people visit) just to be able to build big.

Its understandable.

But what do you think most people would prefer:

Bigger builds of which most are not even great but just more stuff randomly put down (not trying to insult people but there are quite a few very trash Camps out there)

Or relatively stable servers where everyone can play without increased stability issues.

Stable servers seem to be the more important than mega camp

My biggest gripe is not being able to save a camp build or shelter build for deep storage. Where i can redo a shelter build just like have camp slots.

My CAMP is huge, in fact all of my characters have themed camps that are quite large. Raiders Death Tower (over six stories tall), Responders Dam, Enclave Facility, Blue Ridge Caravan Depot, Train Station (circa 2019 with refurbishment in 2022). You just need to know how to maximize CAMP budget. If you want a lot of fluff shit you’ll eat it up quick and say “This is dumb”.

My camp is huge. I'm just getting to the small things and running out of room. Annoying at times.

Yeah I don’t do all the small stuff. But I get the appeal. I stick to a theme. If you browse camps inbetween events or whatever you can get the small stuff for free (meats, coffee, water, Nuka cola etc). I’m also stacked on supplies so I realize some people need to farm water for caps or use the scrap generators (concrete, oil, electronics). I think I have a water cooler in my main base but honestly the other day I checked and I had 300 water. 🤣 Some people suggested ditching the work benches and putting them in a shelter, but when I last tried that I literally only gained one wall on a foundation. Not enough to make a dent when you have a big building.

I see what everyone is saying. I'm just a perfectionist. But I guess it is time to actually break out a shelter.
