Lost 75 % of my base in 3 minutes

So I did the quest where you have to defend your territory. As the title says nearly all machines a chest with a lot of good stuff and 3 of my deviants are gone. This is so stupid.
I really enjoyed the game so far but I do not understand this mechanic. I f the invaders destroyed my stuff I would have had the chance to repair it. But all the mentioned things simply disappeared. Is this intended ?

So how many houses can i have? I have one i been working on it uses all my available space

you can have as many houses as you can fit in your area, you can expand your area later down in the skill tree.

no one specifically mentioned it here but the mobs will B line to the purifiication machine destroying anything in their path so dont have it inside your actual base put it off to the side out of the way in its own little building

Damaged structures require a part of the material required to build it. Of course it's easier to just repair stuff compared to placing it all again but at least in terms of "cost" it's not a big difference.

Also in the future just put less items to clean it per event. It should be easier then.

I put my purification machine outside, north of my house. Monsters then spawned south of the house and wanted to walk through my house. How can you know the monster spawn location before the event so prevent this? Will they now ALWAYS spawn south of my house so I can just put the purification machine south?

check your terminal... the thing that you very first had to place before starting to build. Damaged structures go into its inventory.

I'd like to know this too. I literally put the resonator on one corner of my plot and the house in the diagonal corner across from it. They literally were spawning behind my house and I failed because I was running back and forth trying to defend both buildings. Doesn't seem like they B-line for your resonator either. They often walked around my house and when they had LoS on my resonator building they continued destroying my house. They also spawned in a third corner and could have easily went for my resonator, but they instead went for my house. Almost seems like something has changed and the devs expect you to put the resonator in your base and make you defend it so you can't do the multiple building strat.

I believe spawns are random.
I usually have a team to do this.
