Came here asking the same question, and I interpret the answer as "traps and defense walls."

Put a dead body in front of it (ideally yours :D )

Hopefully locking doors come soon.

So far, bases are a time sink with almost no value.

Pretty much.

I've been building them here and there because it's fun and they provide at least SOME protection (compared to just standing out in the open) but yeah, cannibals can get through doors, through windows, jump over walls, and stronger enemies can get over spikes. There's literally no way of preventing them getting in right now which is one of the dumbest oversights I could imagine them making in this game. Hopefully this will be fixed ASAP.

You cannot lock cabin doors. However, you can build a defensive wall and a door in it. Place a log upright on the outside of the door, one on each side, as close as you can get them to the doorframe. Then take two logs and go inside. Look at the inside of the doorway where the outside logs are, and you can snap one at an angle to each post so they cross and form a V inside the door, blocking it. Just remove the logs with C when you want to leave and keep them nearby so you can use them again.

If you build a base, they will attack at some point. That is the current reason for building a base imho right now. Fighting, defending. Have some treefort(s) and a cabin for your mutant girlfriend somewhere safe where mutants can't get to and build a base only when you want to invest time in farming, building and defending.

They need to add more content, right now, the story isn't worth the time and the overall gameplay centers around a feature a lot of people aren't keen on investing much time into.

Pretty much as voyren said. This has pretty much carried over from the forest. Bases have always been to either store your collectibles (extra meds/soda etc) allowing you to gather more or to attract attention from the natives.

In both games building a base is optional.

It seems if you build a base next to a lake, the lakeside is safe from anybody coming, as they dont cross waters if possible, afaik

[Locklave]

How does it even work at all let alone lock lol.
