Ultimate Treehouse base?
I like the idea of having a treehouse, or network of connected treehouses, to serve as my base. However, the two treehouses I see that can be built are very very very small. I thought maybe I could build a network of them and connect them with bridges. One for sleeping, one for storing items and meats, one for collecting water, etc. I just wish I could build a tree house that was...a little more roomy. Any ideas from more veteran survivors?

I see that, in an update, some cannibals/mutants will attack the tree until it falls. Guess I'm stuck building my safest bases on water.

Use the white trees, build custom platforms the same Heights all the way around the tree and then build custom Foundation on to those and then do whatever you like

plenty of options and ways to do it

The mutants can alredy destroy trees. For now, AFAIK, only the Armsy/Octopus can. And it takes only one hit.
So I hardly recommand you to build a stone wall all around the trees you use to avoid them for beeing destroyed. And no too close the wall, because the Armsy has a good range.

The "White Tree" mentioned earlier are the large trees in the game that are indestructable. They are Static Objects placed in the game that can not be cut down.

Put a tree platform blueprint up. Put the treehouse blueprint on top of it. Build both and you can run bridges between them. (You can't attach bridges to the treehouses).

Also you can build custom foundations around it to make the area where you can walk larger.

As has already been mentioned, rock walls, defensive walls, happy birthday traps around the trunks = Anything to keep the mutants from knocking the tree down.
