Camping 4 (Source)

09-15-2004 ok, I sense confusion...

• Calling a pet 20 times does not work
• Having 20 people driving in and out right away (or just one doing it 20 times) has only a slight effect... to little to bother with
• You can slightly increase the default max. It requires a doc to heal folks, but if you do it, no bonus. It's not really worth bothering but it can shorten the time a camp gets to max. I think this is a rounding error and does not always happen.

Here is how it works. Every 2 seconds a person is in the camp counts as a point of survival exp. more people in the camp adds another point for the time they are in the camp. You also get a point for every wound healed and a point for every damaged healed. The latter part is tallied differently and if timed right can increase the max exp that a camp gives, but not much and that itself caps. The experience is totalled up every minute, so it has to be down at least one minute.

Therefore...

Have a doc heal folks and get as many in the camp as possible... to STAY there. Something like 600 is possible with the base camp all the way to 1100 for the FB. Rounding from healing can poke 100 more out of it, but this is not dependable. 10 people (I beleave) will max a basic in one minute. It would take 19-20 to max a FB in one minute. Also note that server lag will affect the results. You can't have them come and go, they have to all stay the full minute and it might not register all of them right away, causing you to go 2 or 3 more minutes. Safe bet is 5 minutes.
