I make something similar to large rice farms using the hoe to raise very short walls to make large open maze with only my crops and main base closed off. I take the cultivator and color everything I raise green and sometimes plant a border of Fir and Pine in a staggered pattern to also cause them to walk around to get to me or my things while keeping an aesthetically pleasing look to my base area and often blending right in thanks to surrounding the lot with my layered and staggered evergreens.
Trenches are definitely easier to do but this looks very fun 😆 Your base looks impressive from high up especially. I want to build something like this at some point. 😄
Mazes in combination with sharp stakes at choke points are quite effective not only for trolls. Of course from time to time you have to renew them, but -hey- they take out some enemies or at least hurt them. Additionally I use wooden stairs build in a circle to fortify positions where I can shoot from.
I keep some chest out of base for emergency/resupply needs. Usually build little shed for tools and essentials so i dont need to be in base unless i respawn.
@@JPValheim I'd make the modified terrain destructible from big monsters, give some smaller monsters the ability to jump and climb. You could let monsters of the same clan help eachother up where it makes sense Grey dwarf brutes chucking smaller ones over gaps. Chopping down trees to fall over gaps maybe, fulings tunneling through terrain walls. Lots of things you could do, some of which might be impossible due to the way the game is written and might require rebuilding the game from the ground up, which obviously I wouldn't expect but I hate how you can just make a base invincible like that. I get some people will just say, don't like terrain defenses, don't use them. And I don't, but sometimes you have to be careful NOT to make terrain modifications that mean your base is effectively impenetrable.
@@JPValheim I made a base once that used terrain walls because it was my first game and I didn't know when stone working would be available, I hated that fort even though it looked amazing and I put loads of effort into it but I moved on from it ASAP.

That sounds cool!

Theres something about knowing that destruction is possible which makes the experience feel more thrilling jajaja
@@JPValheim True! 🤪

Good ideas, I like the shooting platform stairs

Thats smart, EMERGENCY SHED ! ! !
Idk what raid scares me more the stick trolls or the feulings with their bzerker big brothers 😭
Stick trolls... stick trolls ! ! ☠
Great ideas!
Thank the trolls xD
I'd love them to patch out the the trenches and terrain walls. I have ideas but pretty sure it would cause the community to mutiny xD
Right... what if each attack would revert the terrain back... and after 5 or 6 trikes it would be flat again xD
What are your ideas?
Id love to hear them !
