Everything you need to know to survive and build on XDC. These guides are pulled straight from our Discord — start with base building, then work your way up.

Base Building

🧱 Base Building

How to build with the Base Building Plus (BBP) mod on XDC — workbenches, crafting kits, upgrading through the tiers, Tier 3 permits, cement mixers and base persistence.

Underground Bases

🕳️ Underground Bases

Building an underground base on XDC — digging the hatch, upgrading through the tiers, securing it with a codelock, plus the base-lag safety tips, persistence rules and how it's raided.

Flags and Territories

🚩 Flags and Territories

How flags and territories work on XDC — building a flagpole, refreshing nearby items, claiming a protected territory, member ranks, leaving, outsider ejection, raid rules and repairing your base.

Persistence

⏳ Persistence

How long items last on XDC before despawning — the 45-day timer on base structures, what counts as interaction, how flags refresh items, and the persistence of storage, shelters, stashes and vehicles.

How Raiding Works
