What maro says about this base
Overview Maro builds a defendable boat base designed for trio and quad groups. Strong roof peek angles make it viable for naval combat and raiding defense.
Key Features
- Single entrance on boat side with airlock and captain's area
- Five engines accessible from steering wheel and interior
- Three cannons on main deck, each protected by doors you can open while shooting
- Eight dedicated roof peeks around boat perimeter with front, side, and rear visibility
- Interior retake peaks function as ankle biter peaks after boarders enter
- Fully symmetrical design—same setup on both sides
- Main core holds six boxes, six electric furnaces, three normal furnaces, four bags, large battery, tier 2 workbench
- Top deck hosts all 10 sails plus eight solar panels (160 power total)
- Respawn area with four beds and quick recits box
Build Details Almost 4,000 HP hull makes the boat hard to sink. Speed reaches 16 seconds per grid at full engine power, 53 seconds per grid on sails alone. See video for full build cost.
Creator's Take Maro emphasizes tankiness and defendability. Post-update sinking mechanics make durability essential. Boat moves faster than expected despite its size. Cannons can slow enemy boats, giving you chase advantage.
Best For Naval combat groups who want a fortified, slow-pushable boat base.
