Noticed in another thread that some people may be going AFK for extended periods and don’t want to lose their stuff. I am offering to keep the lights on for 1,000 coins per month per beacon - send a PM and we’ll meet up!
And if you’re lucky, some of your stuff might be left on the shelves when you get back

I’ll even take all your stuff and keep it “safe” 
I think one of the beacon permissions allows refueling but not looting, anybody know which one?

From what I remember, all interactable items use the same permission setting

Hmm, that’s not good… I’d rather not be able to loot.

They could totally seal all entrances with blocks and put the beacon on the outside? Then if I didn’t have build permissions I can’t get in.

Wasn’t there folks going around refueling peoples beacons randomly without permissions? Or is that not a thing anymore?
Good idea! I love the inventive ways people have come up witih to make coin instead of just being a shop.
Yup not planning to make a lot, but if somebody’s getting deployed or something and doesn’t have a friend to refuel I can help!
I also entertain birthday parties…

Love the thoughtfulness that went into this.
New beacon permissions have been requested before, so I think this is a big possibility in the future.
It’s almost like a puppy-sitting service. XD And even though it’s not a lot of coin being made, you’re making connections. “Hey, there’s Krollbar. They’re a pretty awesome guy!”

not a thing anymore I don’t think I tried to test this by taking permissions away from one of my alts and if you don’t have the permissions you can’t access the beacon to refuel it

Yea, I just tried it myself on a neighbor’s beacon and got the red and white text warning on the side. Shame really because refueling someone’s beacon doesn’t harm anyone. On the other hand though, it would defeat the purpose of the system because a person leaves the game and someone was to randomly refuel it, the settlement would be stuck with that plot for another 4 to 7 weeks.
So yea, I can kind of see why it might not be a thing anymore.

No beacons would ever decay because we’re such a friendly community we’d just randomly refuel everything.

Can you lock people out who have permissions? Never played with locks.
No you cannnot

that is weird… i was under the impression that locks can prevent access to inventory and machines. Thats what the desciption says: Prevents Citizens without Permissions from accessing your Doors, Machines and Storage.
citizens without permissions dont have access to machines and storage anyway… so locking them wouldnt make sense, except locking them prevent access to people with shared permission
didnt try it tho, no guarantee 
It can keep people from seeing unfinished builds, from falling in death pits, from getting in your power coil beams, from using your secret mining portal, from letting animals in etc.
The only thing locks are good for as far as I am aware at this is time, Locking doors, Shop stands and request baskets, However if you have permission in the beacon, then the locks will not lock someone out.
yea but i was talking of locks on storage or inventory… not general use
