Base building

[A BUSH WOOKIE]

Since it isnt pvp, does the AI ever attack your base? Or is defensive building utterly pointless? I dont wanna get this game if my base doesnt ever get assaulted

Depending on the difficulty level of the realm you build in, (which you can set/change through sleeping), you may well get attacked, especially by 'bound' as well as things like the spiders. Most of it is less focused on 'defensive building' but more a sense of 'rebuilding a sense of civilization in the midst of a disaster'. But yes, when I've set my area to a harder difficulty, I have found it attacked at times by bound.

Yes, but 'sometimes' is almost never. The 3 to 5 enemies from that biome hardly do any damage. It's not like 7 Days or anything. Most of the time, the enemies get stuck behind the terrain objects.

But they should make it a feature like in ARK, Soulmask, Palworld, Conan Exiles, If Sun Sets, and 7 Days to Die.

But they probably won't do it because the majority of the community are all 'fairy lovers' who don't enjoy combat, mostly play solo, and like to play dress up.. However, it would be nice to have a toggle in the system menu for players like you and me who actually enjoy a challenge. I know many would love that feature...

It was vaguely added in one of the first Nightingale videos that was released, but all of us who wanted that feature were fooled by clever advertising and video editing tricks. What it actually was, was a 'defend the survivor hideout' mission where you had to defend a relic from waves of enemies. There were never any bosses in the waves either, no matter what level you cleared them at. So yeah, false advertisement at its best - they never really tell us what's what! This company has no clarity whatsoever. They say something in one video and then change it in the next one, and so on and so on...

It might start on balanced difficulty. i just arrived ar Sylvanas Refugeecamp, second World,, startet to build something, and after some time spend, i wasnt even finished with that small building, some big crawling Tree spawned near and startet to attack.
Maybe i just choose the wrong way to make distance in the settlement there so it might just have followed me. But my 4 Walls were gone, only the Basement was left.
Was a bit,...annoying.
Wish there would be a option to manually deaktivate it, like it was in "The Forest".
Nothing worse than seeing your progress and collectables over maybe days beeing stomped down.

Did you place a cairn near your building? It should prevent spawning animals/enemies nearby.

Im just starting and do not have that knowledge of doing...everything.
And yes, like beeing already said some translations are needed. Would be easier to understand...here and there. Its pretty much content to keep in mind.
No hurries...

No offence, friend. Just trying to help :) .

There are some things that are not explained in the game. The sticky post by Jarret here in the forum “Tips for new/returning players” is a good start. And for anything else just ask, especially in the Discord people are very helpful. Hopefully the translation will getting better with upcoming updates.
And you are right, "No hurries" . Best thing is exploring and finding out.
