Creator's Take

PeekR emphasizes this design balances storage, furnaces, and defense in tight space. Roof turrets with two entrance options give flexibility when defending. He keeps turrets to six total to manage upkeep. Key doors preferred over regular doors for ease. He doesn't build electrical in this video but assumes viewers know how.

Best For

Duos and trios on a full wipe wanting fast smelting with solid turret coverage.
