Renting a plot inside a seven-day window

Kefir publishes four directly relevant articles: renting a plot for a base, protecting a base from raids, raiding other players' bases, and becoming a settlement owner and earning income. The 16 October post covered base management, and the 1 November announcement mentioned planned changes to base payouts and land rental without a firm rollout date.

The reset dominates the calculation. Every plot and base is wiped every seven days and converted into jail time and authority. Any base investment is therefore an investment inside one cycle, not a permanent asset. Kefir has not published how a freshly rented plot behaves at the moment of the raid beyond that rule.

Defence and raiding are both documented actions, which means a base is contested rather than safe by default. The help centre has separate articles for each, and this guide links to them rather than restating steps that were not verified here.

This desk's judgement, labelled as such: read the wipe rule first, the plot and defence articles second, and the settlement income article only if the remaining time in the cycle justifies it. No published rate supports that ordering; it follows from the seven-day horizon alone.
