Creator's Notes
Rusty emphasizes the importance of solid honeycomb placement on both sides of the base. He stresses using wood roofs on jump-up sections for easy deconstruction. The shooting floor requires careful triangle and window placement for maximum peek angles. Two layers of honeycomb on the exterior add significant raiding time. Solar panels and turrets provide offline defense without heavy power drain.
Best For
Wipe day starts through mid-wipe for groups wanting reliable raid defense.
