Any location to build base without it being destroyed?

[Adeptus Lebowski]

The map feels pretty large even if there is a lack of cave etc. But even on normal it is a massive challenge. For some reason i can't figure out how to build a base that is away from enemy attacks.

Surely there must be a way to build on top of water or on the edge of a cliff/mountain maybe? I made a massive 500 log wall with friends and enemies either destroyed parts or climbed over lol.

Also is it possible to build boats?

But i'm also wondering does the main building booklet get added with new blueprints etc as time goes on or is it fixed?

Higher up the mountain looked safe

I found a frozen lake up hill from one of the mountain crash sites that backed to a small cave. It had two tents just outside the cave entry, It seemed very defensible.

On the blueprints side, there's a lot of stuff I don't see so far and am hoping unlocks later. Example, no log sleds - which seems like something that you'd want early on.

I like the beach but logs will be a bit of a walk. I also really like the river bend south of the 3d printer. Not too many visits from cannibals on two legs after around 10 hours there.

There is a sled you can 3d print, we havent yet but i suspect you can put things ( logs) on it

No the 3D printed sled is for you to ride on like you could do with the sea turtle shell in The Forest.

interesting, i'll check it out.

I was hoping to do a hard mode solo run but wasn't sure about turning base destruction off or not. Better to feel more realistic if there are locations where your base can be more out of reach though.

i built foundations in the water, it's a ♥♥♥♥♥ to deal with logs n water, but it's coming on alright, didn't think about water freezing though

I couldn't discover a place either. The attacks are not numerous, they are CONSTANT. You only get attacked once, and it lasts the duration of the game, at least for me. The moment they discover your existence, they never stop attacking. Not a single moment where you have time to breath.

They warned about winter, but holy smokes ... wake up to snow and open the door to no less than 15 various cannibals and mutants barreling down the beach toward me. A bit much for single player, especially with destruction turned on. They were over, through and upended my little base in moments. Ironically the little spike sticks did most of the damage (along with a few grenades) to the horde, but I was overwhelmed in moments.

Lesson learned. Reloaded save and made sure I was wandering at winter's turn instead of waking up for tea and crumpets at my cabin.

If that little wake up call was meant to tell me 'you've stayed in one place too long' .. I heard it loud and clear.

We found kinda good place. Little island in a lake a top of waterfall, on the island there are some trees and couple of caskets with one skeleton and atleast cloth. Cannibals are numerous around there but they can't get to you normally. They just pace along the shore and sadly Kelvin too gets left behind

Just a word of warning. During winter WATER FREEZES AND CANNIBALS CAN GET TO YOU. It wasn't a fun surprise but as said earlier you can always migrate during winter.

Best way i just realised is turn base destruction off and build a network of tree houses lol

Turning off base destruction is far more realistic imo. Near naked "humans" shouldn't be able to completely tear down a wood structure in minutes with their bare hands. They should design the game where there's two kinds of structures you can build. "Rickety" structures which you can build fast and cheap but are susceptible to being pulled apart, and "Quality" like you'd see a cabin built in real life that structurally can't be damaged or even entered if locked.

In the meantime, I've seen some innovative ideas, but they're ridiculous. For example, this one guy stacked one log on top of another other vertically, placed spikes around the one log base, and built a whole cabin on top of the one leg, which looked hilarious. Looked like a toothpick stuck in the ground topped with a playing card used as a foundation and a cabin built on top of the card. Magic must have been keeping it standing. Lol.

I'd rather turn off destruction than have to cheese the game. Problem in running into though is I can't even open my build menu for two seconds without being attacked. I feel it's a combination of picking bad spots and that I've killed A LOT of cannibals even though I'm only about 5 hours in. Must have killed hundreds, and while I don't know for sure, it seems like the more I kill the more there are AND the tougher and more strong they are. Can anyone confirm if this is true? Do the cannibals get stronger the more of them you kill?

When you Put a fire and a Base down you will get swarmed. There is No Safe place. Just people who got lucky with their Safe(or unlucky, as some want waves on wave)

I personaly like the heli pads in the near of the luxurious bunker

no problems with invasions because i only needed a small section walled and spiked up

I like beach area, near somesort of rocks. Good place for me to defend with less visitants from the muddy cannibals.
