Description[ | ]
- Some crafty Pathfinders without an island to call home have managed to strap four schooners together and built a platform on them! This new Floating Operating Base has finally made its debut into Atlas!
- Floating Operating Bases (FOBs) introduce a whole new strategic system into Atlas where players are able to build temporary floating bases to stage their fleet. The foundation of the FOB is a large square with a hollow center. Along each side of the foundation are snap points for Sea Docks (max: 6), where player ships can be docked and protected. The foundation will provide support for all structures placed on it or connected to it up to 16 connections away, with no weight limit. There are, of course, limits on where FOB foundations can be placed to avoid potential griefing.

Placement Restrictions:[ | ]
- Companies will be limited to one FOB per grid.
- Must be placed in the open ocean.
- Can’t be placed near Tradewinds, portals, islands, or other FOBs (being allied does not reduce the placement restriction).
- Can’t be placed in Golden Age, kraken, or Maw grids.
- After placing the foundation, a decay timer will start ticking down regardless of if a player is within render range or not. There are only a few instances where this decay timer can be extended and once the decay timer reaches zero, the foundation will be destroyed. If the FOB foundation is destroyed, all attached structures will also be destroyed. Any ships currently docked will be released and no longer protected.
Foundation Decay:[ | ]
- Island Claim Grids: The foundation will decay after 36 hours and can only be extended if a War Declaration changes the grid into combat phase after the first 12 hours of the foundation's existence, meaning the foundation will be extended until the completion of the war declaration
- Lawless and Lawless Claim Grids: The foundation will decay after 36 hours.
- PvE Specific: All FOB foundations will start with a 7-day decay timer which can be extended by 12 hours for 5,000 gold, with no limit on the number of extensions.
- On PvP servers, FOBs can be claimed by other companies using the same claim flag used to capture enemy ships. The flag can be placed anywhere on any structure connected to the foundation. If claimed, the ownership of all ships docked in Sea Docks will be transferred to the new owning company as well.
Crafting:[ | ]
Crafted from the Smithy after learning the Esotery of Building skill.
- Note there may be a delay in placing additional parts, that is not listed in the release/patch notes.
