SG Base passcode

[Snarky]

How do you set an SG base passcode.

 

I have asked this numerous times in game and the results have never helped me.

 

I have an SG.  It does not have a code 

 

Where do I go or how do i set up the 4 digit passcode for the base?

 

Thanks in advance.

/sg_passcode <password>

 

The number will automatically be added to the password you set, and the client will tell you the full passcode on the green System chat channel.

When I answer in game, I generally suggest people (a) email it to themselves and (b) put it in the SG MOTD. One means you have it, the other means anyone in the SG can see it.

Worked like a charm.  Well, it's me so I worried it like a puppy with a sock.

 

What I discovered.  /sg_passcode <password>    

 

The <password> is not really a password as much as a label

 

If you put in the command a second time with a different label you will get a new system message.

 

/sg_passcode Label1.   system responds Your supergroup base access passcode is now LABEL1-12345

 

hmmm.  I didnt want Label1.   /sg_passcode Label2  system responds Your supergroup base pasecode is now LABEL2-12345

 

The 12345 is locked but the label is changeable, and outputs a new system message.   - handy if you did not write it down.

I can't say for certain, but I believe that this number is the record number of your SG in the server's SG list, so if you set your passcode to "PASSCODE" and get "PASSCODE-12345" back, your SG was the 12345^th SG created on that server; this allows the server to distinguish your SG's passcode from any other SG's passcode using the same string.

And it is shard specific.  You cannot use a passcode from Indom on Everlasting.

A good place to start is the Base Builders Cheat Sheet in the Base Building sub-forum.   The answer to your question is in there.

Interesting.  I was wondering why all the public bases I saw had 4 digits but my base only had 3.  That might explain it.

It is true - your trailing numbers do indicate the order in which your sg was registered. Mine primary base is 233 on Excelsior. On Torch, it's 1019. The base I made a month ago for a challenge group was 14123,
 

That's a lot of supergroup bases!

Well, Mr. Arcane Salvage #3 has to have a place to store all that salvage...

if you want to play in a giant online "community" i am sure you can find a world of warcrap out there.

 

i have a one man SG so i can easily access enhancers on the different builds i experiment with.  

 

Since the PUG groups on Excelsior are outstandingly good i really do not find the need to hover in an SG chat room or even use private channels.  i just log on, look at LFG and join a great team rocking through content

I have a SG base on each shard for shared storage and the fun of playing in the base builder 😀
