On many modded DayZ servers, a territory is your claimed build area. It is centred on a flag you place and raise, and it defines where you can build and how your base decays. This quick guide shows exactly how to set one up on The Cursed DayZ, plus a few smart placement tips so you do it right first time. On our server you create a territory by crafting a flag kit, placing it, raising your flag and naming the base, then placing a BBP workbench to start building.

What a territory actually does

A territory tells the server where your base begins and ends. Inside that area you can place building parts, organise storage and manage upkeep. The precise rules depend on each server’s settings. On The Cursed DayZ you can build inside your territory and there are clear limits to keep bases fair and tidy for everyone.

What you need

For The Cursed DayZ the essentials are simple. Craft a flag kit from three short sticks and one rope. Find a sensible spot and place the kit, attach a flag and raise it, then give your territory a name so your squad can recognise it. After that, place a BaseBuildingPlus workbench to begin structured building inside your territory.

Note: Other servers or vanilla may use different recipes or extra materials for flagpoles. Vanilla flagpoles, for example, require logs, stones, nails, wire and tools across several build stages.

Step by step in two minutes

1. Craft the flag kit. Cut a bush for short sticks, combine three with one rope.

2. Pick the location. Think about sightlines, access to water and traders, and how visible your flag will be.

3. Place and raise. Set the kit on level ground, attach your flag, raise it and name the territory.

4. Place your BBP workbench. Put it down inside the territory so you can start building BBP pieces.

5. Check server limits. Keep walls, gates and height within the rules so your base stays compliant.

Smart placement and upkeep on The Cursed DayZ

Choose ground that drains well so tents and crates do not sit in puddles after a storm. Tuck the flag where it is not obvious from a distance. Keep a spare rope in a locker in case you need to move or rebuild. Before you log off, check the flag is fully raised and tidy tools so you are ready to build the moment you return. On our server, raising your flag and building within limits keeps your settlement orderly and easier to defend.

Flags will drop over the month. If you do not log on and raise your flag, your base will be eligible to be raided/deleted if your flag remains all the way down for a prolonged period.

FAQs

Do I need a flag to build a base?
On most modded servers, you do, because the territory defines where building is allowed. On The Cursed DayZ you must raise a flag and place a BBP workbench to begin building properly.

Why can I not place BBP parts even though my flag is up?
Make sure the BBP workbench is placed inside your territory and that you are standing within the radius when you try to place parts.

Can my friends help build?
Yes, provided they are part of your group and you keep the flag raised. Stay within server build limits for smooth progress.

Conclusion and wrap up

Territory creation is straightforward. Craft the kit, raise the flag, place your BBP workbench and build within the limits. Keep the flag active and your base will stay organised and ready for upgrades. If you are new to The Cursed DayZ, read the Joining Guide, check the Rules and hop into Discord for help getting settled.
