EPIC PvE player guide
Type /shop, open Drops, and buy a custom Smoke Flare named Barge. Throw that flare into open ocean to call your floating base.
Call · steer · build · wire · dock
Open the in-game shop with /shop, choose Drops, then buy the hull you want. Larger Barges cost more RP. Your purchase appears in inventory as a custom Smoke Flare with a name beginning “Barge.” It is not a normal Smoke Flare.
Put the purchased Barge flare on your hotbar, go to open ocean, and left-click to throw it onto the water. The seabed must be at least 10 metres down, the location must remain inside the playable grid, and boats, floating loot, or ocean debris need 20 metres of clearance. An invalid throw refunds the flare.
The Rect 10×5, Rect 6×3, and Rect 3×2 include a cabin. Add low grade fuel to its fuel storage, press the cabin button to mount the driver seat, and press jump when you are ready to dismount.
While seated in a powered cabin, W and S control forward and reverse throttle; A and D steer. Cabin-free presets move by connector or tow instead of an onboard engine.
Use the anchor button to stop or release the barge. The deck must be stopped and level before building, upgrading, rotating structures, connecting wires, or clearing wires.
Build normally on the deck with wood or metal. Stone and armored grades are disabled, and every preset has its own floor limit. Auto turrets, SAM sites, elevators, Frankenstein tables, and wallpaper placement are blocked.
Electrical connections work while anchored, but both ends of every wire must belong to the same barge. Cross-barge wiring is deliberately blocked so moving platforms cannot leave broken links behind.
Side docks capture RHIBs, rowboats, and submarines; press the dock button to release. Rear connectors can link compatible boats or another barge when aligned closely. The caller and team receive the first five minutes of access, then TC authorization protects interaction. Barges and their structures do not decay.
Seven platform presets
A cabin means onboard power. A connector means the platform can be linked or towed. Dock count is the number of side cradles.

Keep clear of fishing-village protection zones and do not try to set a home on a Barge. If a Barge grounds on a shoal, building is blocked until it is returned to level water.
