Camping in SWG Nexus



Camping in SWG Nexus provides players with temporary bases in the wild, offering strategic advantages, crafting opportunities, and social hubs. With the release of patch v0.18.0, the camping system has been overhauled, replacing classic CU camps with modular NGE camps, introducing new camp types, and enhancing functionality with camp modules. This page details all camp types, modules, and their mechanics, helping Scouts, Rangers, and adventurers make the most of their wilderness outposts.

 

Overview


Camps in SWG Nexus are temporary structures that players can deploy to create safe havens in the galaxy’s untamed regions. They provide benefits like crafting XP, resource extraction bonuses, and access to specialized services (e.g., cloning, shuttleports). The v0.18.0 update revamps camping with longer lifetimes, modular designs, and new features like visitor tracking and expiration warnings, making camps more strategic and rewarding.

Key Features

 

  • Modular Design: Camps now support modules, which add functionality like crafting stations, cloning facilities, or resource extraction bonuses.
  • Crafting XP: Camps grant camp crafting XP based on time spent and the number of players present.
  • Extended Lifetimes: Camp durations have been increased (x2 to x4 compared to previous versions).
  • Visitor Tracking: System messages notify when players enter or leave a camp.
  • Expiration Warning: A 2-minute warning alerts players before a camp expires.
  • Visual Decay: Campfires turn to ashes (no smoke or fire) when a camp is abandoned.
  • Camp Terminal: Provides status info (uptime, time left, healing bonuses) and allows owners to send waypoints to group members.

 

Camp Crafting

Camps are crafted using a generic tool (no longer requiring a structure tool, as of v0.18.0). Crafting assembly and experimentation are based on the "camp" skill mod, and resource requirements have been adjusted to align with the Scout profession, making camps more accessible to wilderness-focused players.

 

Camp Types

SWG Nexus offers seven camp types, ranging from the entry-level Basic Camp to the advanced Field Base. Each type has unique features, module capacities, lifetimes, and XP rewards. Below is a detailed breakdown of each camp type, including their requirements and benefits.

Camp modules are craftable components that enhance a camp’s functionality, providing benefits like extended lifetimes, crafting stations, or specialized services. Each module is tied to a specific profession, with crafting requirements and XP rewards aligned accordingly. Below is a detailed list of all available modules and their mechanics.

Module Types

Survey Module

  - **Schematic**: Granted at Droid Engineer: Blueprints I.  
  - **Crafting**: Uses Droid Assembly/Experimentation skill modifiers; grants Droid Engineer crafting XP.

  - **Schematic**: Granted at Architect: Construction IV.  
  - **Notes**: Effectiveness is not currently tied to the quality of the crafting station used to craft the module, limiting customization.

The camp terminal serves as the central hub for managing a camp, providing status information and group coordination features.

The Status Dialogs primary action opens a dialog showing:

  •   Uptime
  •   Destruction Time
  •   Time Left
  •   Wound Healing Bonus
  •   Extraction Rate (if a Survey Module is active)

  • Field Base Camp: Multiple fires are present, but only one is extinguished when the camp is abandoned, causing visual inconsistencies.
  • Entertainment Area Module in Multiperson Camp: Sitting in one chair places the player just outside the camp radius, potentially affecting buff application.

The camping system in SWG Nexus offers a robust and strategic way to establish temporary bases in the galaxy.
