**Make sure you read the [Sanctuary Community Rules](https://wiki.apathabove.com/books/guides-cwu/page/sanctuary-community-rules "Sanctuary Community Rules")**
**For the purposes of understanding this process, here are two important keywords:** **Shop:** The building or location in the game where you want to sell your items from, e.g. one of the Sanctuary Shop plots. **Store:** The actual crate or container that you put your items inside and how customers can purchase them. #### **Buying a Shop:** Admins keep track of Shop ownership. Each of the individual rooms in the green buildings are all designated as shop areas and any of them can be purchased at any time. In general, we attempt to make it fair and ensure every player can have a Shop if they want one. For this reason, large factions may be denied multiple Shop purchases, especially at the start of the season. As a large factions, we recommend buying the bigger plot as your main plot. This is all up to the discretion of the admin(s) at the time of the ticket. A faction can share a single Shop with its members and each member can have a private container they sell from. There are no rules about subletting spaces or sharing your Shops with any other players, however the original Buyer of the Shop has full ownership in the case of any disputes, Here is a rundown of the process when buying a Shop: 1. Create a General Help Ticket using "Buy a Shop" or similar wording in your Issue area. 2. An Admin can show you the current state of the Shop ownerships in simple green/red colours. 3. Any available Shop can be purchased, the first player that states an interest in a Shop plot reserves that plot until ticket closure, though do ensure you have the funds either immediately available or next-day. 1. **Small Shops cost 500 MPC** 2. **Large Shops cost 1000 MPC** 4. Once the funds are transferred to an Admin and payment confirmation is complete, the Shop is now yours to build in and customize. #### **Creating a Store:** Only Admins can do the action of creating a Store from a container tile. There can only be one player set as the owner for each Store. Here is the best way to get your containers processed into Stores: 1. Lay out your desired containers in your shop. 2. Create a General Help Ticket using "Store" in your Issue area. 3. Post a screenshot of your shop with markings of which containers should be MPCs or Merits, and who should own which container. 4. If your layout is complication, such as a large faction sharing ownership, you can do the below: 1. Create Sheets of Paper titled "MPC Spitfire" for example. 2. Put that Sheet of Paper inside the container you want to trade in MPCs and be owned by Spitfire. #### **Operating a Store:** The running of a Store is very simple. Once the containers have been converted by an Admin, the Owner of that Store can put items inside the container straight away. Items are not priced by default which means nobody can buy your items until you manually price them. Simply right-click an item or a stack of items and choose the Price Item option, enter your value, and away we go. If you want to individually price items in a stack for any reason, you can expand that stack and right click the individual item to price it. If you have a Shop and want to share that space with other people, the Shop Owner can request any number of containers be made under any other player's ownership. See "Buying a Shop" for details on this. Note: Typically for Faction shops, we automatically assume anyone with your Faction Tag is permitted to create Stores in your Shop without authorization. This is because we limit Shop purchases to 1 per Faction (at least at in the early-mid wipe). Any purchases will instantly transfer the money as follows: - MPCs will go to "Earnings" which can be cashed in at any ATM. - This is so you can easily see exactly how much money your Shop or Stores are making. - You still earn interest in Earnings so there is no immediate rush to cash in any purchases. - Merits will go directly to your personal Merits in the ATM. - Merits cannot be sent to Earnings and there is no similar system for Merits unfortunately. # Making Propane and Fertilizer Home Biogas Unit What you need: 2 IBCs 20 Metal Bars Bacteria Starter 1 Propane Torch with 1 unit of propane Welder Mask Farming level 2 Steps: Make the Home Biogas Unit (Resources can be found around the map, trading with players, or buying from player shops in Sanctuary) [](https://wiki.apathabove.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-12/Vc2image.png) Gather foods with calories, the higher calorie filled a food is, the more propane and fertilizer is produced. Gather these foods my looting, fishing, trapping, foraging, or farming (I personally recommend fishing because you don't need to do much work other than the setup) Fill the Home Biogas Unit with these foods and then plunge the funnel After some time, the Home Biogas Unit will pump out units of propane and fertilizer. You can gather propane with a propane tank and the fertilizer with a bucket, which needs to be mixed with dirt to be usable The hotter it is outside, the more efficient the Home Biogas Unit it is, and in the winter time, it's barely usable, so I advise only using it in the late Spring and Summer times for best production # Global Item Shop The KSSA runs a Global Item Shop. These items can be purchased from any ATMs that have the Global Item Shop activated. The ATM at Sanctuary School is always set to have the Global Item Shop activated. 1 [](https://wiki.apathabove.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/Px7image.png) 2 [](https://wiki.apathabove.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/XqDimage.png) 3 [](https://wiki.apathabove.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/uJ6image.png) 4 [](https://wiki.apathabove.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/Wr6image.png) 5 [](https://wiki.apathabove.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/XBFimage.png) 6 [](https://wiki.apathabove.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/PfUimage.png) 7 [](https://wiki.apathabove.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/KvSimage.png) 8 [](https://wiki.apathabove.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/UN8image.png) 9 [](https://wiki.apathabove.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/A16image.png) 10 [](https://wiki.apathabove.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/yCDimage.png) 11 [](https://wiki.apathabove.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/izSimage.png) 12 [](https://wiki.apathabove.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/Q9Yimage.png) # A.R.M.S. ##### The KSSA is proud to present the Adaptive Retrofit & Modification System (ARMS). Using materials recovered from various industrial ruins, our engineers have found a way to modify any item that could be potentially used as weapon. This guide will provide a detailed outline of just how to accomplish this. ### Proficiency By Weapon Category Overview Each of you have been given a Field Operator Proficiency System (FOPS). This system will bind weapons to the user and track proficiency with each weapon type. As you kill zeds with your weapons, you'll slowly gain proficiency in that weapon's category. FOPS interfaces with the KSSA Zed Zone ID (ZZ-ID), rewarding a higher proficiency for zeds killed in more dangerous areas. Another advantage of FOPS is proficiency is stored on unique keyed identification system tracking proficiency even through death. Meaning you will not lose any proficiency on death.Only the bound user can upgrade a weapon. Anyone can use it.
Note: Types of weapons are defined as such: Long Blunt, Short Blunt, Axe, Long Blade, Short Blade, Spear, Rifle, Pistol, and Shotgun.
##### Proficiency A measure of how proficient you are with any type of weapon.Note: Proficiency gained is directly measured by the amount of hits it takes to kill a zed.
##### Proficiency Level Levels gained after reaching various proficiency cut offs. These vary per weapon type. Each level unlocks the ability to fill the next available slot in a weapon.Max Proficiency drops the proficiency requirement on modifications.
Example: You have a Fire Axe with 3 total slots and no current modifications. At Level 1 Proficiency for Axes you can add one modification. At Level 2 Proficiency you can add the second modification, and so forth.
### Modification Overview #### Bound Weapons FOPS. binds weapons once used. Once bound, you will be able to interact with ARMS by equipping the weapon and interfacing with the armory table. Only those the weapon is bound to can modify it, however, anyone can use it. #### Materials Materials can be found in industrial locations. Our engineers are hard at work refining a processes of converting everyday materials into these base elements in the hopes of making this available to everyone. For now, we'll just have to scavenge them.Note: Materials include: Cobalt, Carbon Steel, Tungsten, Titanium, Zinc, Diamond.
#### Modifications Each material has one more more modifications associated with it. - Cobalt - Impact Booster - Increases min damage - Overstrike Amplifier - Increases critical strike damage - Carbon Steel - Reinforced Structure - Increases total condition - Extended Barrel - Increases firearm range - Tungsten - Vital Targeting Module - Increases critical strike chance - Force Multiplier - Increases max damage - Titanium - Stamina Regulator - Reduced endurance usage - Resilience Coating - Decreases condition lower chance - Zinc - Advanced Targeting Matrix - Increases firearm hit chance - Hardened Projectiles - Increases firearm projectile pierce - Diamond - Adaptive Mod Framework. - Increases total slot count - MasteringNote: Some modifications may only be available to ranged or melee weapons only.
The amount of bonus to a stat is determined randomly.
#### Slots FOPS and ARMS work together with the ZZ-ID System to assign a modification slot count to each weapon. The system isn't perfect, so counts may fluctuate. You can assure that items scavenged in more dangerous areas can get a higher starting slot count.Note: Total slot count can only be increased by 1 for each mastery of a weapon.
### Adding Mods At the armory table, we can modify our weapons assuming we have the required proficiency level for the next available slot. Interfacing with the table, you can select the add mod option, available mod lists will be generated based on any materials you have in your rucksack. Simply choose one and it'll be added to the weapon.Stat modifiers are chosen at random.
There is no confirmation. Once a modifier is chosen it is applied.
The armory table is fragile, attempting to move it once constructed will disable it, and it can no longer be used with the ARMS system.
### Removing Mods Removing mods does exactly that, it removes a mod. Our engineers were unable to develop a way to recover the material when removing the mod.There is no confirmation. Once a modifier is chosen it is removed.
### Diamond Ingots Our engineers were able to do something extra special with diamond and it's unique properties. ##### Adaptive Mod Framework Increases the total slot count on any weapon by one. ##### Mastering a Weapon Once all slots are filled and an adaptive mod framework has been used on a weapon you can master it. This will re-set all base stats to the **current** **stats** and clear all mods and the mod framework counter. Choose wisely when to do this, as it'll also clear the repair counter. # KSSA FOF Radio The KSSA has successfully bartered with St Memphis to offer a chopper service to travel around the LVQZ quickly and effectively. This service doesn't come cheap sadly. You can pick up a FOF Military Radio and Smoke Grenades now from the KSSA Store for merits. These will allow you to call in for pickup by a St Memphis Helicopter. #### KSSA FOF Radio Simply access the radio in your pocket or on your belt, and choose from one of the available options under "Radio for Chopper". Options become available when you have Transit Smoke Grenade in your pocket. The chopper will take 15-30 seconds to arrive and pick you up. [](https://wiki.apathabove.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-03/MVyimage.png) [](https://wiki.apathabove.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-03/image.png)Do not "place smoke bomb" it does nothing except the vanilla smoke function. The KSSA is not responsible for misuse of equipment.
Leaving the immediate area near the LZ for the chopper once calling it could cause you to miss it completely.
#### Chopper Destinations ##### Safehouse This type will have a chopper pick you up from your location and drop you in the safehouse you have marked for respawn. ##### Sanctuary This type will have a chopper pick you up from your location and drop you in the Sanctuary bus station. ##### Round Trip This type will have a chopper pick you up and take you back to your safehouse. Once there you have around 5 minutes where the chopper will stay near by, once you're ready run outside and use the new option to "Head Back" and it'll pick you up again and drop you roughly where it picked you up originally. If you run out of time to use the "Head Back" option the chopper will RTB and you won't be able to travel back. # APA Login Mod You can download [the mod here](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3607961215) First open the game and then click mods on the main menu!
