Show the best base you've built with pictures!
I thought it would be fun if people posted 1-3 pictures [PLEASE not more!] of the base[s] they are MOST proud of. This would give all of us ideas and maybe inspire others.

If you don't know how, here's how I do it:
- F12 to take a screen shot
- Upload it from Steam screenshots [view > screenshots > the Forest]
- After it's uploaded select 'view online'
- Right-click on the picture and select 'copy page URL'
- Paste it into your post

Looking forward to seeing what everyone has accomplished! :steamhappy:

A small cabin with walls around it.


I try not to attract attention.

Decided to build a tall tree top high base but now it looks like a sore thumb because theres no more trees...

I don't got any images of it, but mine was a small catwalk system along the side of a coastal cliff, I later fell due to the cannibals charging at me while I was trying to build a wall to protect myself. :P

Did you do this in Vegan mode, without mutants? I understand people and their creativity, but this is a survival game.

Nothing wrong with building whatever you want within a survival game...it's actually more fun because you have the interruptions and distractions of the cannibals

What did you use to make the balcony near the top of your tower?

Plus super mutants can knock that ♥♥♥♥ right down, so that keeps it exciting, at least AFAIK, they used to be able to destroy foundations.

Hi there, no I did this in normal mode, if you see my other thread complaining about the trees respawning I have used a LOT of logs for this and intended the tower to be hidden between the trees not sticking out too much!

What did you use to make the balcony near the top of your tower?
It was a pain to fiddle with custom floors but managed to get it done by click at the two corners at the back and then jumping to the ground to drag the balcony out so it would click into place (if you can see the foundation is 3 blocks long so the balcony could only sitck out one more block)

Since posting that I have included 1 layer of defensive walls with a bone fence layer on top and a complete line of defensive spikes in front going all around for extra protection :)

Better updated image, the left structure will be my garden tower connected by a bridge to main house/storage tower...need the trees back to build more though.
