1. Decoder and Fuse Strength

The community security reference lists:

Rarity	Decoder removes	Electronic Fuse adds
Uncommon	1 protection point	1 protection point
Epic	3 protection points	3 protection points
Legendary	5 protection points	5 protection points

A green Decoder can be used successfully without completing the breach. It may simply reduce a larger protection total by one point.

2. Building Protection Reference

"Maximum" below assumes every listed fuse slot contains a Legendary fuse. Alarms are not included as protection points.

Structure	Base protection	Fuse slots	Calculated maximum
Trailer	5	9	50
Small House	15	27	150
Car Garage	4	6	34
Large Car Garage	6	12	66
Warehouse	10	15	85
Workshop	5	9	50
Grow Room	5	9	50
Chemical Laboratory	3	6	33
Mesh Fence	2	3	17
Metal Fence	5	6	35
Concrete Fence	10	9	55

These figures are a dated reference. Inspect the live panel rather than assuming every structure matches an older database.

3. Calculate Decoder Requirements

Total protection = base protection + installed fuse points.

Identical Decoders required = total protection ÷ Decoder strength, rounded up.

Example: a Small House with ten Epic fuses:

15 base protection + (10 × 3) = 45 protection.

That requires:

• 45 Uncommon Decoders; or
• 15 Epic Decoders; or
• 9 Legendary Decoders.

This assumes the documented strengths, no repair during the attempt, and no other changing conditions.

For mixed Decoders, add their breach points until the total reaches the target's remaining protection.

4. What a Completed Breach Provides

Official help describes temporary access to the breached building.

The owner can repair its security and revoke that access.

A fence, house, laboratory, and garage can have separate systems. Completing one does not prove all the others are compromised.

Before entering, confirm which barrier is open and how you will leave.

Do not jump into an enclosed property merely because one panel looks damaged.

5. Doors and Storage Are Different

Building access does not necessarily grant access to protected containers inside.

The community reference identifies Master Key interactions for certain protected storage.

Inspect each storage object's requirement. Avoid spending all your Decoders only to discover you cannot open the target container.

6. Alarm Types

Alarm	Who receives the warning
Location alarm	Players at the location
Personal alarm	The owner
Clan alarm	The owner and their clan

Alarms provide information; they are not interchangeable with protection-adding fuses.

Choose the audience deliberately. A warning broadcast to the location is different from a private notification.

7. Defense Priorities

• Identify where your valuable stock and productive equipment are exposed.
• Protect those structures rather than only improving the entrance.
• Install the alarms appropriate to who can respond.
• Inspect and repair security after a breach.
• Keep enough protected funds to recover from a loss.

Treat defense as part of operating costs. Expansion without protection increases what you can lose.

8. Access Is Not Ownership

A normal security breach does not make you the property's owner.

Eviction is a separate action with a special item and additional requirements. Do not confuse a successful door breach with completing that process.
