Safe Place To Build

[Xajar]

Started setting up a base inside the Pumping Station in Lower Deeps, after claiming the whole area with hearths sieges stopped spawning. It gives the siege notice, doesn't spawn anything and ends after a few minutes.

Could be a good place to setup if you don't want to deal with sieges on the main base.

I made a base at Durin's forge but always make sire that if I delve through dirt I do that on a level and not the floor level.
That way the Orc's cannot get in. Only have one hearth at Durin's forge but it works like a dream. Notice yes. Orc's coming inside? Nope.

On a side note: It is proven impossible to clear Durin's throne from Orc logs without destroying it. You cannot repair Durin's throne, it will always fall to pieces.
Tried that when the game came out and did it again when I am playing now.
Outcome is the same no matter how carefull I am with Durin's throne.
