Foundation Placement
The foundation is the most important part of your base. Here are some key tips:
- Place foundations on flat, elevated ground when possible
- Consider proximity to monuments and resources
- Avoid building too close to roads or spawn points
- Plan for expansion from the beginning
Defensive Strategies
Protecting your base from raiders requires multiple layers of defense:
- Honeycombing - Add extra walls around your core
- Air locks - Create multiple doors for entry
- Trap rooms - Set up areas to catch raiders off guard
- External walls - Build additional protection outside your main base
Building Materials
Choose your materials wisely:
- Wood - Quick to build, easy to break
- Stone - Good balance of cost and protection
- Metal - Strong but expensive
- Armored - Maximum protection, very expensive
Remember to upgrade your base as you progress and gather more resources!
