So, me and my SO started playing this game a few nights ago. I started playing it a night before him, and screwed up on the character I wanted to keep (I didn't grab newbie equipment so I died really quick to a boar... over and over again... effing boar. It showed up at my campsite five minutes after I started playing and proceeded to give me the business), but that's just life I guess.
So here's the deal, we've gotten both pretty far, we played together by sharing hearth secret and have been playing in the same plot. We actually moved pretty quickly, by day two we had a timber house, cupboards, and all kinds of nice stuff, so we're mountains of happy.
Then the SO places a stake claim. I seem pleased because I can go in it, (and I assume it is) because we are kin.
The next day I discover it's because we are partied.
There should be a way to "perma-allow" another player you know to use your land. That way, when he's not logged on, I'm not trapped in my bed unable to even re-sleep in it after a night's rest!!! Heeeelllppp!
Make it so he can choose to "allow" me into his claim at all times, so I can keep playing with him and we can be protected from thieving jerks who would come and gank our stuff because they think it's funny to rob people in a survival game.
