DEVS: Please implement a base defence mechanic

[Nobrot]

Enjoying my time in Enshrouded and i especially like the versatility of the building. However, i really feel that the game is poorer for the lack of any real motivation for base building, other than to be creative and to maybe build up a larger comfort level.

I feel the game should have some sort of mechanic that means you need to defend your base/s. I think both the base defence systems in Conan and Valhiem are good examples of this working well, and even though i feel the base building mechanic is inferior than Enshrouded in both those games, i enjoy it more, because i have a legitimate reason for my build. I'm getting to the point in Enshrouded's building where i'm thinking "whats the point?" I might as well just make a big square box and dump my workstations and comfort items in it and then I've achieved everything that the game sets out for me in relation to building

I sincerely hope that the Devs have something planed for future updates

Or maybe an optional feature, so PVE base attacks can be toggled on or off? but with some sort of reward system for those brave enough to toggle it on, like some exclusive loot or something like?

palworld has base defense

[jidaeng]

Base defense against what, who ?
Even, if there is a base defense mechanic people can destroy your base with explosive or dig under your base.

Dear devs, please finish the map.

[Dazzer]

I’m guessing the defence request is from currently none existent PvE attacks )

I only new the attacks in Valheim and this was boring and annoying for me, no good example. When we build in coop or doing crafting in our base and a random attack arrives, we just get interrupted, clear the mobs with no effort (they were only in the first hours a minor thread, when the first troll arrives), then go back to work. No challenge and so no feature I want to see in Enshrouded.

PVE base attacks is what I'm referring too. Either PVE events that test your defences on an increasing scale depending on your flame level, or maybe just periodic random spawns that create a need to have some sort defences in place

Please, no. I hated that in Valheim. I don't want the hard work I do on building a nice home to be ruined by NPC's.

So based on you post. You only do things you really HAVE to do. So why play games? You can just not. There is no tangible reason to even play a video game at all. Its not like people are going to come to your house in RL and attack you if you don't play a video game.

That's not really what i said was it??

i would find it more motivating to do more intricate builds if the game gave me more reason to do so. I would get more satisfaction from the building if it had more of a purpose rather than it just to be ascetically pleasing.

[Nerevar]

pretty much irrelevant. due to the fact you can build your base in the sky alone base attacks are never gonna work well in this game. i dont see them possible in any way currently. would need to add stability system to bases first.

Wasn't aware of the up vote system. Have done it. Glad to see it is the 4th most requested feature!

For me it's one of the things I appreciate in Enshrouded... no generic base defense mechanic. Stopped playing both Valheim and Conan exactly because of this. How about we have one game that doesn't have base defense mechanic?

edit: oh no the jester awards hurt so much
