Seems that no matter what house you build people can just blow out walls and place large crates and jump up to the next wall and keep going.
Seen 2 guys just jump to the top of a huge tower skipping everything. just blowing out a wall and using the ledge to place a crate and go to the next wall. such total BS!!! what is the point of building a stupid house in this game. might as well just build a shack.

Yeah, what's the point? I would SO much rather not build one and get ass-raped in my sleep, *psh* fucking house, what was I thinking, giving my survival a chance, I would so much rather gamble with my life.
see where I am going with this yet?
I do see where you're going jonny :) I just don't like the balance between time spent gathering to build a house vs time spent exploiting and losing it all.

Well sorry to say, this really is not the game for you. The game is about survival and taking risks. You are welcome to build a shack, but don't come crying when I come with my pickaxe and knock it down, kill you, and take your stuff to ensure my own survival. Exploits will be fixed, but until then, you decide what is more important.

It is far, far easier to make a house than to band together and form trust with other individuals, acquire and manufacture explosives and arm/equip yourself well enough to raid without losing everything you own.
You shouldn't ever build anything you can't defend.
It is taking 1 C4 to blow walls now, even new ones, which is ridiculous. I don't know what the OP is talking about in terms of placing crates, but the new C4 per wall now is crap.

Um. Yes, because it's so much cheaper in terms of resources to use C4 and boxes instead of stairs? Wait...
- You can build an outer fence
- You can put 'onion walls' in your fences (build three parallel walls on each foundation square of the fence) to make it more expensive to break through
- You can also line the fences with spikes
- You can surround your own compound with spikes and pillared foundations to combat their ability to scale your defenses
- You can build a metal house that's harder and more time-and-resource-intensive to compromise
- You can build, say, a 5x5x5 stronghold instead of a 2x2x30 tower (about the same resources), have doors and decoy boxes everywhere, hide best stuff in concealed stashes
Most of these take more resources, but there's no point in having 'stuff' if you can't keep it in your possession.

Shack (Wooden Shelter) takes about 80-and-change hits from a pickaxe to destroy. Anything more advanced (wooden wall) takes at least 2.5-3x this, or of course explosives. Metal door takes 2-3 C4, metal wall takes 5 C4. Making a secure base takes work, resources and some thought! You can also add in trap rooms (fall into spikes etc), among other things...
Stop building in obvious places. I've only ever had problems when I build like a noob.
