Can someone explain to me why people put TC behind a window??? Even the strongest window in the game has only 500 hp While if i would put the TC behind a door frame and upgrade it to armor... then the door frame would have 2000 HP and armor door in front of it would have 1000 hp So why people pick the window option? Moreover you have to remove the window and put it pack every time you want to accses the TC , while you can simply open and close the door all the time .

Me and a buddy built this as a duo. We're on a new wipe and we wants to try a new base, but after watching this again I realize how much I fuckin LOVED that base, man. We had to modify it a little bit because we built a little too close to military tunnel. Even then it was such a good base.

In the main loot room you could remove that gross square and add a side triangle then make it a proper 7 large box + 1 small box loot room and still be able to reach the tc from the side. That would crunch a lot more loot into the core. Potentially even a camp fire in the middle of the 4 large boxes below the triangle with the 3 large boxes and a small box.

[@shenronwish]

one tip id recommend : do the honeycomb as soon as possible, if you're very active PvP do the honeycomb layout w wood for 2x1 plus honeycomb of 2/3 triangles each side and don't make a door after the Squares (so TC stays open in triangle no window no door yet, and two doors while still having honeycomb) If really want can another door (a single door better) upgrade it only to wood, so 1.5 swords can take it down . and the honeycomb for the TC inside the base next to the twig foundation core u can build half wall upwards and a low wall downwards to add 3 furnaces into that triangle

Thanks so much for this base design its much better than the one I was currently using, the bunker thing is really cool cause it makes them literally HAVE to go through a wall/roof, even if they destroy every door i have. Fresh wipe just happened and I spent a few hours building this so let's see how long it holds up.

[@Philip_Taylor]

I'm going to try to make this either tonight or over the next few days since wipe is today. Being new it looks more tricky, I can do a honeycombed 2x2/3x2s out of sheet metal, and they have been moderately successful at avoiding raids, but this one is well optimised.

[@slayerhuh404]

[@cdanhowell]

I believe I found two critical vulnerabilities with the base. 1) in a door raid, the first two doors splash the ramp as well as the garage door above the ramp. This weakens the bunker as if the ramp is destroyed, the bunker mechanism doesn't work. Potentially results in 7 rockets worth of splash into the ramp. Depending on the quality of the ramp, the bunker could be destroyed in as little as one additional rocket. 2) a wall raid from the front door or just behind it (into the honey comb) results in bypassing the bunker completely and is a relatively cheap raid (12 rockets to bypass the bunker entirely with the as-shown build grades). Even cheaper is to go through the first door, then through the two stone walls underneath the bunker/ramp. 10 rockets to bypass the bunker that way. Making those two walls metal helps to fix this path.

[@masterchriswong]

I'm not noticing some of this too. Upgrading those ways that allow you to bypass the bunker is definitely a start.

[@masterchriswong]

*I am noticing I tried this base today, and It was quickly raided by bypassing the bunker and going from the wall one left and facing the front of the tool cupboard. I do believe they C4 and used grenade launcher. I also didn't get a chance to sheet metal the outside.
