Building a base involves placing fence kits, constructing walls, and adding fortifications.
- Base Building Steps:
- Place a Fence Kit: Combine two short sticks and rope to create a fence kit. Place it where you want a wall.
- Dig a Fence Post: Use a shovel or pickaxe on the fence kit to create a fence post.
- Build a Fence Frame: Use planks and nails on the fence post to build a frame.
- Add Walls: Use more planks and nails to build a wooden wall.
- Add a Gate: Build a gate frame instead of a wall, then add a wooden gate.
- Secure with a Lock: Attach a combination lock to your gate.
- Fortify: Add barbed wire to the top of walls, or build watchtowers.
- Location Considerations:
- Seclusion: Choose a remote, hidden location.
- Resources: Proximity to trees for logs, water source.
- Defensibility: Natural chokepoints, good sightlines.
Strategy: Start small with a single wall and gate. Gradually expand and fortify. Remember, no base is 100% raid-proof, but you can make it difficult. Regularly check your base for damage.
