While Havendock isn't primarily a combat game, you will encounter aggressive marine life and potentially hostile raiders. Early on, a simple Spear (2x Log, 1x Scrap Metal) can provide basic defense. Later, you can craft a Bow (3x Wood, 1x Rope) and Arrows (1x Wood, 1x Feather) for ranged combat. For more robust defense, consider building Turrets (requires Metal Ingots, Circuits) that automatically target threats. Equipping your settlers with basic weapons can also help defend your base during raids. Prioritize defense as your settlement grows and attracts more attention.
