Can't repair base?! Have to REBUILD?!

[Godsworn]

I did the purification territory thing, it spawns in the enemies, they smash up the place and I kill them. I press 'repair all', walk outside and find that everything I build is still destroyed. Is the game really going to expect me to REBUILD everything EVERY TIME? No ACTUAL base repair?

The building system is so jank it took me hours of finding the right angles just to build it in the first place. This is a nightmare because they expect me to do that minigame constantly!

Repair is for damaged stuff. You can't repair destroyed stuff. Best I can tell you if you keep playing is to setup two buildings one for purification and one to live in and find out which directions enemies spawn from so you don't put your house between you and purification.

The worst part is they totally have the technology to implement this correctly. They let me save my house as a blueprint. Considering they spawned in all directions around my house, I hope the second base theory works, otherwise I might be doomed to live in a house I can actually REBUILD, a concrete CUBE

You got sandbags, turrets, traps, defensive walls and gates for a reason.

Not enough build capacity (even with expansion), used the half-parts to make a simple two story pangoa building.

When your base gets damaged, it means there is still a foundation. However, when the base is completely gone, it has been destroyed. You can only repair damaged items, not destroyed ones. You can't fix something that doesn't exist.

Before each defense, I save the entire building as a blueprint

Build on a beach so you can easier funnel enemies.

What this guy said. I built my base on water. I built the purification closer to shore since ground enemies will only spawn on shore. And I put a couple of turrets on top of my house just incase flying enemies spawn in the water.
