Base Design Tutorial

[oryg1n]

Here is my most common base build. It's easy and pretty damn secure.

Let me know what you think.

Nice

It's a pretty good design but I prefer using a 3x1 so they have to use more c4.

Pretty simple and sparse content. =( Would like to see something a little more in depth.

In depth as far as what? I animated a blue print design being built so you can see exactly what goes into it. The only difference is I only showed 1.5 floors being built.

The problem I see with these vertical bases, is that once raiders decide it will take too much C4 to completely raid your base they will blow through to the first steps, destroy them, then place a pillar or ceiling. Now the base is useless.

I like how short and straight-forward your video is. You don't spend 11 minutes explaining why you are feeling bad today which is good. :smile:

Haha, thanks.

Sometimes I do. But those are rare. ;)

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

good stuff. I am definitely going to try this. My question is how do people know where to place the seemingly random pillars around bases to prevent skyhook?

start with your 1 x 1 house. As you gather wood you should be gathering stones and metal ore too.. get your building built and put wood doors on front and back. put in a smelter and then make metal Fragments. now get 400 metal Fragments from about 70 ore and you can make 2 doors. replace your wood doors with metal doors.. (you can do this at night during pitch black because no one can see anyway.. and there is a 5 min timer to where you cut down the old door and can put on the new metal one).
- With your new 1 x 1 with a metal doors you can start putting in more and more box's.. start storing everything that you don't need to gather. This way if you die you don't lose much. keep gather and keep smelting... make your 1 x 1 into a 3x3 and finally a 5x5 making your middle room the hardest to get too.. putting metal doors in between all of them. so just to get to your middle room people need 6 C4 (yes people have that) but it's a pain in the ass and if you spread your stuff out between the middle room and the 2nd to last middle room (on all 4 sides) they won't get to ALL your stuff.

Here I put together a small picture to show what i mean with the levels of defense for a 1st floor and how you expand it out in layers. Also don't forget to rotate your stairwells to the opposite corners as you build higher and higher.

Any chance you can make a 2nd floor and maybe more? I really like this design and idea which really peaks my interest.

You cant place c4 while your feet are off the ground

I was not aware of that, thanks.

I actually have a way around this, but don't really want to put it out on the forums. My base has been attacked multiple times and have gotten around an issue like this.

If you don't want to put that kind of info out on the forums, could you PM me how to prevent that? I'm really curious, because I would love to be able to prevent people from griefing my bases.
