A raid takes a week to prepare and decides everything

Building, farming and taming take days, and neighbours can take it all in a single visit. That is why information costs more than accuracy here.

What follows for the menus:

  • base and chest ESP shows where somebody else’s wealth sits and whether it is worth a trip;
  • players and NPCs split into separate categories, since a squad of thralls beats most raiders;
  • resources and nodes save exactly the days that preparation is made of;
  • movement and height matter in a game where half the bases stand on cliffs.

Official commands are a separate story

A visible share of the demand in this niche leads to the admin panel. It is built into the game and works in a private world or on your own server, which makes it an official feature rather than third-party software.

On somebody else’s server you have no such panel. The gap between enabling commands in your own world and bringing software to a public server is the whole point here.

BattlEye is switched on by the server, not the player

The game runs BattlEye with a caveat shooters do not have: its state depends on the server. Official servers keep it on, while the owner of a private one can turn it off, leaving the rules to the admins alone.

One practical thing follows. The first question here is not which software but where you play: an official server, a private one with the anti-cheat on and a private one without it are three different environments.

From visuals to a full menu

The range in this niche is narrow, and the choice is not made by counting features:

  1. Visuals only. Players, bases, chests and resources on the screen.
  2. Visuals with combat help. Aim assistance and target work join in.
  3. Full menus. Movement, world and raid preparation sections.

The choice here is about the server more than about features. The smaller and livelier the community, the more being noticed costs.

Questions that come up most

How does the Enhanced version differ? It is an updated build of the game, and software for it is updated separately. Older versions do not match it.

Are admin commands the same thing? No. They are built into the game and available in your own world or on your own server, and nowhere else.

Does BattlEye run everywhere? No. A private server can have it switched off, and that is the owner’s call rather than the player’s.

Why put ESP on bases? For raid preparation. It shows where the chests are and saves the scouting that otherwise eats an evening.
