    I built a small house surrounded by a wall with one gate. Felt like home until a bunch of babies spawned inside the walled area. Haven't played it since, just totally defeated the purpose of building a defensive place. And it was a tiny little place so can't blame it on the walls not rendering

    Very nice work! I just started playing after 1.0 and my first game I got killed over and over and so started a new game by the ocean and built a much smaller version of what you made with a log cabin inside as its an enormous help to have a safe base so when 4 or 5 guys show up you can pick them off with arrows and stay safe, and also helps as need an indoor stick bed to get fully rested when sleep

    Stairs are a PITA. Sometimes they need to be built in a specific order. The horizontal logs don't like the diagonal log at all. One of the tricks before the last update was to only place a couple of stairs then work on laying in the horizontal logs before placing in the rest of the steps. I gave up on them. I've started using rope bridges with half length logs for ramp stairs basically.
    I did something very similar for my build. Mine looks like a child built it compared to your build 😂

    thats pretty amazing for sure.
    i just wish that this game would actually give you a reason to actually build and maintain these amazing bases.
    unlike any other survival game i know, theres little encouragement or reason to do this here.
    all you need is 3 sticks and your trusty tarp and you are good.
    you may sleep that way anywhere, you can make fires and you find food and water along the way.
    your actual objective is to find out the truth and then escape (or to stay and forget your old life for no apparent reason..).
    not dissing the game here but the story versus what you can do feels very disconnected.

    • @Matty80822
      @Matty80822 Рік тому

      they should make sleeping a process where theres like a 15% chance you get ambushed by a few or a horde of cannibals or mutants and you dont know until you wake up and hear the sounds. if you're in a tent you just get hit awake and take massive damage and now you're in the dark surrounded. if you had a base you'll wake up and have a lot of time to fight back or flee or something. you could also add in factors like you cannot sleep within 10 minutes of saving. this would make using a tent a very unwise decision and a pain in the butt to use conveniently and would make the awesome building aspect actually matter, where you have to establish maybe 2-5 bases around the island to make sure you have something close enough when that sun starts going down.
