Locked/access code workstations

[OneSki]

A constant problem on PVE servers is that people will take the mods out of workstations if they find a way to access them. PVP I can understand, but some people don't seem to grasp that PVE is not PVP. 

It'd be great if workstations could be pass coded like chests and boxes, to prevent unwanted visitors.

Good idea. Very relevant for PvE. Although my house is usually locked anyway, there are methods to break into someone else's house in PvE.

Yes, some guy on the PVE server I play on zombie raided my base on day 2, because I refused to give him weapons and full gear. It's harder to zombie raid now, but still possible. That player then stole everything that was in my workstations, and raided another player for all his dew collector mods... even though the guy didn't have a dew collector himself. The guy also lied to me when I confronted him about it, which I knew was a lie, because when he raided my base, there were 3 people on the server: My friend and myself, and him. And he claimed that someone else must've raided me. Real winner there.

This is why I can’t even fathom playing with randoms. That said, perhaps make it locked by default to non-allies?

On the server where I play, you get banned for 30 days for this. But that doesn't stop some people.
