Building in the Wasteland
Hello All,

I am hoping someone can possibly answer this for me because I haven't really seen a real answer for it. Is there anywhere in the Wasteland you can build that is safe from meteors? Like building inside that sewer pipe thing near the snow biome or building under an overhang or do meteors regardless kill the base?

I know building in the wasteland is a bad idea regardless because of corrupted dinos ability to destroy everything.

Hopefully someone can satisfy my curiosity, thank you for your time.

There are mods that might help if you really want to build there.

Not really, I like the areas in the sanctuary and the forest biome. I just have other players on the server I run and they always ask and I have no answer that I can give with 100% confidence.

Meteor hits seem to be anywhere in the wasteland and getting hit for 10K+ damage....makes the wasteland a very bad idea quickly. Sure you might not get hit for days, but when you do, you will want to move.

Why would you want to build in the wasteland, so many much better spots to pick from.

The wasteland wasn't designed for permanent structures, like the aberration surface.

I understand what you are asking... seems there is only one way to find out.

There is a ruin overhang just southwest of the SE biome that even counters the hunger drain.

hmm maybe i'll throw up a quick metal cube somewhere and see what happens.

Also I agree there's only like 2 spots in the wasteland that I even think are semi aesthetically pleasing. There's plenty of other good spots in sanctuary, the forest, the snow, and the desert biomes.

People just see all that empty space and want to know.

I set up in the snow, and let me tell you, it is gorgeous here but probably not worth it in the long run. The managarmrs are the biggest pests in the entire game haha.

We're going to set up a bunch of turrets around our stuff and hope that will be enough to shoot them out of the sky, but we're not sure if they have the damage multiplier, since they're technically not fliers.

There are caves and structures in several places you can find protect at least from the meteors in.
