What's the best setup for defense?

What is the best defense?
My last gameplay, I got over run and killed. My current one now, I build a maze that goes around the base 5 times and all 5 rounds is in sight and range for slingers, it have been working so far but do notice others have different setup and is wondering the defense setup for improvement, tips and advice for defending the base.
I currently now have some bows and setting up the rocks fall traps and is planning on jumping the threat level higher.

Is there such thing as too many guards?
I increase my maze in my safe zone but also increase my guards, so far the slingers whom is on the outside edge of my maze have been mowing down the enemys like some trench machine gun and the bow been snipping them at the outside of the maze form inside of the base.
Is traps worth it and what's traps is best to gun for?

There is such a thing as too many guards. Guards cost 1 food every day.

Traps are great because they don't require maintenance. They makes them perfect for backup defenses because you can stack huge numbers of traps and not have to upkeep the extra defense. The drawback is that trap ammo is more expensive than guard ammo, so it is better to have guards as your primary damage dealer.

It seems that after I got a outpost in the mountains, my main base keep going in and out of siege mode in that is not good on my food income, I did increase my maze before I got a outpost , part 1 maze the first, and part 2 maze the 2nd added, but it seems that when I cut part 2 of my maze and only let them in my first maze while bypass my 2nd part, the siege mode that was going on and off non stop have not pop up after that, any advice on whys that?

With the new unit, the crossbow, I am able to defend my part 1 maze with part 2 disconnect and keep they form entering the maze so they is indeed a big help

Do any one know how the projectile trap works? Who do it attack?

Never mind on the siege mode going on and off repeatedly, aRPeaR have answered that I believe.

I have not played in awhile but I found underground bases to be fun.
The only issue with underground though, is it takes more time to build and is very close quarters unless you expanded farther.
One time I did a trench type thing around my settlement, it was fun but really ♥♥♥♥♥♥.
Sky bases work, but remove any sense of realism.
Oil Rig type things work and are interesting.
Japanese Castle Designs are by-far the most interesting I have done ingame. Works really well too (considering you change some things up).

Alright, thanks. Many of you mates done underground mazes before yes? Do it do that siege mode on/off with a underground maze?
