Most effective base layout for base dig defense?

[Everything Heavy]

I'm interested to see what other players have come up with. Overall layouts, barrier combinations and placement specifically, but tactical observations during base digs, prefered loadout and general battle advice are welcome as well.

As much as I'd like to ride out attacks behind five layers of concentric fencing, we're all stuck with level 2 bases for now and capacity is a thing.

Show me whatchu got.

As I am base capped all I have are fences surrounding my base + automatic turrets..

Same. It's working so far.

Use spiked barricades(Blue) as they use less percent space compared to fences, they also dmg the enemy, or anything equiv, never use fences they use to much upkeep

Behind that place auto turrets (Blue) within each corridor, as for the corners of your base place the turrets a lil bit further back so they can deal with anything trying to sneak in past the line.

Going into the dig with a bunch of grenades and moltovs is good for packs.

I tend to just use my bow with heavy arrows ( u can use explosive etc)

I place most structures closer to the middle to allow an outside ring of defence and to keep my view open to anything that slips by (which they don't cause turrets OP)

This is the most effective way to do it, as with 30 survivors i need all the upkeep i can keep for food/water etc

Same I use 2 layers of chain fence 4 Squrs in from the border with auto turrets between (one on each corner and middle of each side (so 8) cleared all base drilling S rank.

I left a guide on guide section , was hoping more people would rate and comment it so all could see haha, but all you have to do is go to your tent, sleep an entire day and check the ( ! ) marks on survivors, rinse and repeat, note though that you will be using your food and drink in order to fast forward through time

I did it for a while, but it's a tedious process because in the end, it really doesn't reward you yet.

I have no reason to increase any Team other than Base Defense.

Highest defence rating? no Fences at all and only autoturrets...

Well yeah it does when you have high grades to make the best weapons and gear, due to more people working on them and more Unique perks

Also the combined score from manuals to upgrade them

So Teams affect the Perks? Good to know, guess I'll have to focus on distress signals again.

Unique perks as in for that particular job section, like reduced mats needed for weapons/ammo etc, they have quiet a few, more to unlock yet if i train my team up more i can be sure of
