ROB RUN Property Guide

The Global Map, Land Titles, Settlements and Your Home

A land plot, a house, a settlement, and a district are different parts of the property system. Understanding the difference helps you buy the correct document and avoid spending money on an upgrade that does not unlock what you need.

1. How the map is organised

Looty Bay is the city where you explore, rob, trade, and work as police.

Districts divide the surrounding desert territory. Their levels influence access to goods and progression.

Settlements sit inside districts and contain plots where players establish bases.

Your plot is the space occupied by your personal base.

Your home is a structure placed on that plot. It provides practical facilities and space.

A better house and a higher-level district are separate upgrades.

2. Land Plot Title versus Settlement Title

Document	Purpose
Land Plot Title I	Rent a personal plot in a matching level 1 district.
Land Plot Title II	Rent a personal plot in a matching level 2 district.
Land Plot Title III	Rent a personal plot in a matching level 3 district.
Settlement Title I	Claim an available settlement in a matching level 1 district.
Settlement Title II	Claim an available settlement in a matching level 2 district.
Settlement Title III	Claim an available settlement in a matching level 3 district.

A Land Plot Title makes you a resident. A Settlement Title makes you the owner of the wider settlement.

Buying or researching a document is not the same as applying it to a property.

3. Renting your first plot

• Obtain the appropriate Land Plot Title.
• Choose a matching district.
• Find a settlement that already has an owner.
• Locate a vacant plot and interact with its rental sign.
• Read the transaction requirements before confirming.

The launch update changed level 1 rentals to require documents. Older guides that tell you to pay only cash directly at the sign may describe an earlier build.

4. Does upgrading your house unlock higher-tier Shipments?

The important progression condition is where your base is located. Shipments can require residence in a settlement of a particular level.

Installing a better house on level 1 land does not, by itself, turn that land into level 2 territory.

Likewise, possessing a higher-level title in your inventory does not provide the benefits of living there until you complete the relevant property transaction.

5. Trailer and Small House

Trailer: the entry-level home option. Evaluate it as a low-cost starting headquarters.

Small House: a larger home option with additional practical capacity. Check its furniture slots and storage arrangements before buying.

The useful question is not simply "Which looks better?" It is:

Will the additional space support enough extra production or storage to justify the cost?

A house is only one part of your base. Workstations, storage, defenses, and transport facilities determine what the whole operation can do.

6. What settlement owners earn

Settlement ownership lets other players occupy plots and generate tax income through qualifying activity, including laundering and Black Market purchases.

The owner must collect the proceeds in person. Treat collection as a transport operation: accumulated income is not useful if you lose it on the way home.

Your earnings depend on resident activity. An empty settlement should not be valued like a busy one.

Business advice:

• Observe how many residents are active.
• Consider routes to services and nearby threats.
• Keep track of actual collections.
• Compare the purchase cost with the income you realistically expect before the wipe.

7. Moving your base

The developer describes base relocation as moving the base and its contents. Community documentation also distinguishes relocation from maintaining a second personal base.

Before moving:

• Read the destination and transfer confirmation.
• Check that no active raid restriction blocks the action.
• Confirm which plot will be released.
• Inspect the new base after arrival.

Owning a settlement and relocating your personal residence are separate concepts. Do not assume that moving your home automatically sells a settlement you own.

8. Choosing a location as a business

Consider the whole operating cost:

• Required titles and unlocks.
• Distance to selling and collection points.
• Available goods at the district level.
• Friendly neighbours and clan support.
• Local hostility and raid exposure.
• Time remaining before the Federal Raid.

Higher-tier territory is useful when you can exploit its opportunities. Moving early without operating capital can slow your progress.
