Become a settlement owner and earn rent

Checked Nov 9, 2026 for Early Access, against the official help center

Bases & settlementsScreenshots © Kefir, used to illustrate this unofficial guide.

Owning a settlement turns other players’ bases into your income.

How it works

  1. Buy a settlement that has rentable plots.
  2. Other players rent plots there. Bases can only be set up in settlements that have an owner.
  3. You get a cut of the money your tenants spend and launder.
  4. Collect your cut in person. It isn’t paid to you automatically.

Taxes and territory

Kefir also lists taxes as income for settlement owners and for clans that control territory. Clans compete by taking over desert districts and city businesses (see joining or creating a clan).

Plan around the wipe

Plots and bases are cleared by the weekly Federal Raid. Collect your cut regularly rather than letting it pile up before a reset.
