Best place to build a fort?

[♛ Rawyalty]

Hi! Im planning on building a massive fort but cannot seem to find a good location to build it. I do not want it anywhere close to cannibals and it really does have to be a flat spot. Any ideas? =)

build a fort on the water :)

Hayle beach, Cornwall, just up the road from me, HaHa, just kidding,your spoilt for choice really, but I tend to stick to the West beach of the island, close to several ponds for fishing as well as the fish on the shoreline, handy for the yacht (when they fix it) and plenty of lumber, rabbits and lizards, and you can alway's evade the cannibals by backing into the ocean or standing on the offshore rocks, but don't go out too far as the sharks will get you

I don't really think there is a "best place" at the moment. Too many factors keep changing. I look for places without any sign of cannibals (effigies made by them near your front door is probably a really bad idea, lol). And best places are certain to change as the game development progresses. Ultimately I imagine a beach base will become the best place. You can make a houseboat and escape to it when $#/! really jumps off.

Yeah, i agree with you. You never know what the finished game will be like. Im not even sure i get to keep my palace if i build one! :P

next update will most likely kill your savegame

If you type "veganmode" (without ") in the main menu you can play without cannibals :D

I actually don't mind it killing my savegame. Each time I build a new base I upgrade my ideas for it. Everytime I build one I stand in front of the finished product and think, "It's nice, but, oh crap, I could have done this." By the time the full game releases we who have been here from essentially the beginning (except the whiners) will have a definite advantage over new players in that respect.

Well a big fort is going to be seen by the cannibals eventually no matter where you build it. So I would suggest builindg it on a cliff, that way you can see who is coming. Next you'll want to clear out around your fort so trees dont impede your obstuction. Hill = more sight & easy to defend, & having a clearing allows your enemys not to hide.

your best bet is building on water the only issue is you cant make a cabin or anoy other structure.i built mine on a cliff near a lake.

I agree with you, wyldefx. I always come up with new ideas on how to build. Its getting better and nicer each time =)
