Barriers the armsies can't destroy right away?

[troelstroelstroels]

So once in a while the mutants show up by my base, and i don't mind love fighting them off, but the armsy is to me the worst/ hardest mutant to deal with, since it is able to destroy what you have been spending almost an entire day building? And the defensives i put up don't really mean anything, it's wood i use primarily for that purpose.. The other mutant also put my base at risk when attacking, but they are not nearly as destructive as armsy. I had been building a lot of elevated levels, that insured my safety when surrended, almost like a town above ground, but the armsies just destroy it so faaast, ? Is there defenses which could help me protect my base from the armsies?

I also checked the main page, of the forest, the advice they keep repeating is using, fire and dynamite, and if neccesary leave the base. But they go into a rampage when litting them on fire, and makes them even more dangerous

Rather than trying to barricade them, what you should do is lead them away from your base and deal with them later. Once you see an Armsy (or any other mutant) just hop off your base, run around it and into the woods (make sure it follows you) and either fire/axe it to death and return safely. Make sure to save as soon as you hear/see a mutant coming so you won't have to re-build whatever it destroys.

Thats no fun, I for one enjoy the panic of an armsy running through my base with 20 cannibals right behind.

get Mollys and anything flamable or have a house filled with explosives and traps around your base, or try and turn them off untill your set to fight hordes of what those things are

What I started doing is building near my spawn point (the plane). After I build a bit and get a clear view of the surroundings. I'll build steps so I can get on top of the plane. He can't destroy the plane. Also, another tactic is to build on water. The canibals don't know how to swim, yet. God save us when the do. Lastely, you can try to build stone walls. This is a bit more time consuming, but you can stack walls horizontal and vertical. Two high is usually good.

I didn't say it was fun. It's the safest way to take care of the problem without having to re-build whatever Armsy destroys.

I have a bunch of bases, located all over the map except, the snow area. And i have put a lot of work in each, one right next to the sinkhole, literally, when i look out of the window i see it.. 2. one in the geese lake, the one i am most proud of, and by the plane area, i stopped having my base there, since it made the game almost too easy, hiding inside the plane when things went out of hand.
