I am getting attacked by 3stars Scorchebeast and I am trying to figure out...

[Astro]

I am getting attacked by 3stars Scorchbeast and I am trying to figure out how to make my roof stronger, maybe buying metal roofs build plans but I can't seem to find it in the atom shop, I did buy the brick walls but of course they didn't come with brick roof (maybe not a great idea to have brick roof, anyway).
So in a nutshell, is there a metal roof set I can buy in the atomshop and where is it?
Would that make my roof safer? For some reason those scorchbeasts are super smart they always cut off my turrets electricity. Puff 1 cable all my defenses are down. I am now connecting every single turrets to my generator, let's see who is smarter :) probably him!

yup sb wins every time unless you take it down...

I feel there is no difference apart from how the wall, roof or floor actually looks. I'd suggest looking at how people normally lay out turret bases as they are quite easy and with the right ones you could maybe have them fight a 3 star sb but i'm not 100% sure on that one lol

Don't build where SBs are going to regularly attack your camp is my suggestion.

Some building parts may have more durability than others but i have never noticed a significant difference between them all. Prefabs are great if you are going to be attacked regularly as they are super cheap to repair.

Yeah I like the location since it's near a train station and not too far from the moonshine.
Normally there are no earth cracks where they should be coming out of, it's not south east after all, but for some reason they love my home :) So far it's fun tbh I am used to games with base defense and I like that part. I just wish my turrets wouldn't get cut off most of the times I get attacked.
@Insert, I wanted to switch my default heavy lasers to the enclave (I believe they are called like that) ones, do I need to wait for the season when they sell them or there is another way to get them? Those should be pretty powerful.

That is unfortunate luck of the draw. You've built near a spawn point.

Sadly the type of material used doesn't make a difference in terms of building strength. A wood roof provides exactly as much protection as a steel or concrete one, the difference is 100% cosmetic. Which if I'm being honest, I kind of wish it wasn't. It would be kind of cool to be able to build a steel structure that can withstand a little more damage than a rickety wooden shack but, alas, that was not on the priority list.

As already suggested, either ramp up your defenses or cut your losses and move someplace else. Even just moving to the other side of the train station you're near might make the difference you need to keep that pesky scorchbeast away. Only way to find out for sure is to try it.

Good luck!

I know this sounds like the opposite of what you want, but have you tried removing all traps/turrets from your base? I have scorchbeasts fly over my camp all the time, since I'm built very close to a fissure (far enough for the normal scorched not to aggro), but none of them ever attack my camp, and I'm pretty sure it's because my camp has nothing to cause the scorchbeasts to become aggressive.

Or maybe it's something else. All I know is that the only major differences my camp might have from others is A, no traps/turrets, and B, all crops planted on farmable dirt tiles (though I doubt that affects scorchbeasts, it does prevent the spawn of crop attacking creatures, so that's something good to know).

I'ts just a Vision of the past. Wish I could see more 2 and 3 stars flying all around. (after I got higher with good weapons). On a Good day you could kill 10 to 20 just from wondering around looking for berries.

That's ok so far I am handling it ok, now the turrets are individually connected and they seem to work better, I only wish I could find the enclave skin for them, those seem to shoot way faster, but I guess i have to wait for the right season in the atomic shop, thanks guys.
