V Rising - Building A Better Base

[@EkynoxNaab]

Cant ppl fly like you and Land in the other side of your base ? Then destroy a weak entrance or wall. Keep the great work !

[@TheMotivationalGamer1]

you cant land anywhere that has a base claim on the floor, which is why it's extremely important to place claims on the ground even if you're not building there.

[@TheMotivationalGamer1]

Also, can't carry any resources in bat form

[@EkynoxNaab]

@@TheMotivationalGamer1 good to know. Thx a lot

[@WhoMei2101]

@@TheMotivationalGamer1 So do you mean if I have the whole perimeter of a area locked down but a few border tiles are missing out the middle people can land here or no because i have the outer layer blocked off?

[@Milupa5]

There is an exploit though with horses.. you can jump off your horse through a corner or through a fence into the property be careful. If you see some pople placeing only one gate/wall at the entrances, those can be exploited, thats how they robbed us 2 times until we saw it happen.

[@Rubic13]

I was logging off for the night, watched this before going to bed. Saw that people could literally just fly into my base. Logged back on and finished building so I could have a roof. It's 02:30am and I have work in the morning...

[@vamperic]

FYI to everyone bat form is for scouting out or just flying to boss fights, you cannot carry any resources/bombs/raid golum stone while in bat form

[@rasunin]

"you cannot carry any.........bombs..........." .....PHEWwwww....okay. time to get back to my base and start building on the higher ground.

Thank you so much I needed this. My first siege was a disaster I didn't have any gates inside or separate rooms and I had all my boxes near the heart. No honeycombing or anything. This is excellent.

[@gusdepaiva]

My consern was that people can land behind your castle if you havent claimed the floor base and build behind you to keep you from progressing your castle, and if they somehow enter your castle, even if they cant leave, they can open your chests and throw items on the floor which will get destroyed after some in-game days. Other problem is that if you build too far back, they can build in front of you and "siege" the exits, keeping you from going out. That's what people are doing, so I am told, in the Brazilian servers.

[@Kingofredeyes]

Actually spent the day doing pretty much exactly what these guys did once I ran upon this spot on my server today. Literally have one base that is just a massive freaking maze, barricades, and even threw in some empty chests on paths that are intentionally designed to make people go off the beaten path, and then added AoE based servants I could get. So to get to my clans actual base you have to go through like 13 layers of narrow hallways while my servants are dropping AoE on you and all of that is just to reach my actual base with the actual goodies and you still have to fight me going up hill that way to. I'm kinda hoping we get attacked at this point just to see how frustated people are with it. My clan members have already asked me if I am a madman, because I actually have to show them how to get through the maze to get to our actual base. That said he was impressed enough he actually deconstructed the base he had already made just so he could move his castle behind my maze rofl.

[@Sabamonster]

IRL tactical security is generally implemented in rings. (Obviously this is a broad generalization but for the most part it's true) Each ring intrinsically intersects with each other ring creating a huge flower essentially. Interconnecting as many rings as possible ensures there's is redundancy. Redundancy is absolutely key. The outer most rings are primarily a combination of light-security/surveillance and the ratio for that tilts further toward security/less surveillance the closer you get to the object/location you intend to secure. Same premise here accept this is done on a grid (Therefor honeycombs/squares). The sooner you know you're being attacked the sooner you can impede them and if the 8973982734982734982734 outer layers are nothing but fodder, odds are you will wear your opponent out before they can do any significant damage. Attrition is a bitch. The defender has time on their side, the opposite is true for the attacker, so the longer you can sit comfortably and nickle and dime your opponent the more costly it becomes for them to proceed. Fatal Funnels (Points of Ingress or Entry Points) are generally focused toward the center so that defenders on the inside can attack the funnel from angles that give them a distinct advantage. Essentially a wide angled Y. This makes things incredibly difficult for the attacker because they have zero mobility and if they engage one side, the opposite side is automatically flanking them. Strip everything else down and so long as you follow these principles you will make life a living hell for anyone trying to attack your base.

[@An_Dulachan]

So do I want doors in each cube?

[@Sabamonster]

@@An_Dulachan It depends on your particular setup but the main gist is that you want to funnel attacks into the most costly path possible. If they enter the room from a hall/doorway, you want to have the next one coming from either side, so you can A, get the drop on them and B, force them to go another direction that makes the path longer. Essentially, you want to force them into an indirect route, while capitalizing on the fact that they can't defend themselves from more than one angle once they step through the doorway. Ideally every door should be placed so that you either capitalize on where they enter, or to impede their progress by making the path they are forced to take a long and time-consuming one that ultimately leads to another more difficult path. Each one presenting more obstacles than the last. It's somewhat hard to explain without reference but I think you get what I mean.

[@An_Dulachan]

@@Sabamonster I get most of it I think. Thanks man. Sounds like you may have to change pattern every once in awhile as well.

[@theRealMcCoy]

One thing I have learned with going against the sweats in my time of rust etc If you dust yourself off and get back out there the OG ones you sort of earn their respect but there are some griefers out there.. self projecting their shitty lives onto other people in games.. dont be that.. be like the homies that taught Demone about honey combing.. showed him the ropes.. be an OG be a homie. What kept me playing rust and other survivals when I didnt know something etc someone better then me was willing to teach me to make me better so the competition would get better server wise. Trial by fire sucks but if you can dust yourself off and collect and push back you might find some enjoyment in the competition and grind.

[@IICubeII]

I'll never forget the homie that told me and my friend about backwards walls in Rust. lol for real though, great point.

[@theearth6010]

Him: Talking about having to get trough all those layers Me: Thinking about him flying a bat and can just fly over it

[@grajciezemna9520]

Yeee, also me, so he can fly true or not, because iam worried about my castle right now :O

[@driklol]

@@grajciezemna9520 Bat form wont let people raid you, scout your layout sure but not raid. You cant carry materials on you and supposedly cannot land on claimed land. His story of a guy flying into his base and being trapped was quite dramatically exaggerated and or had major components left out such as the guy didnt actually land in his base. You also need to kill a raid boss to get bat form, some but not the vast vast majority will not have it for quite some time.

[@idontknow-mf4bp]

@@driklolHe said he didn't have a roof because he was fixing something with his floors. Removing floor tiles removes both the roof of a room and the land claim so a bat could land if they saw the oppertunity.

[@driklol]

@@idontknow-mf4bp removing a floor tile doesn't remove the land claim from the square. You couldn't land there, he also said the guy looted stuff then flew off...which he can't do. So yea

[@MrBellasaurus]

Once you have a roof they can't fly in. The guy flew in before he had a roof. Once he locked him in a roof formed and the guy couldn't escape

[@Dagnar1478]

now of only they made it so you didn't need 3ft of space in between the different production benches we might be able to do some crazy rust style honey combs

[@D00M3R-SK8]

Just about to start taking down my wooden walls, expanding my base and putting up stone. When it comes to making rooms, does each thing have to have it's own room, or do some things share the same carpet bonus? I'm going to try and make corridors with rooms coming off the corridor, rather than just rooms that connect to rooms. It'll take more space, but I feel it'll look better. I'm just not sure how big to make my rooms and what to put in each of them.

[@SomethingScotty]

I'd recommend having your own private game running along side of any other server you play on just so you can practice base building without the risk of being raided. When I first started playing I had my own private server running just so I could figure out how the game worked, what the important things to make were, where I could trim the fat, etc., etc..

[@gijssteggink7039]

i started in a pve server, just to get a feel for the game. ive reached lvl 60 and now going into a pvp server. i've scouted for base locations and got used to the combat. although i did not think about the structural integrity of my base so this is very valuable information. Thanks D!

[@justgolden2808]

Thanks for all the glorious videos brotha I played this it was fun and great but now my journey is now over to many clans sit at bosses and hold people up or once you start a base they come around and they destroy what you have before you even get it off the ground thanks for the vids and I hope you have a bless day

[@D00M3R-SK8]

I'm playing a solo game currently, so I'm more concerned with building an aesthetic base I am proud, of... not that these honey comb bases don't also look good, but there's no need for me to do it currently. I'm more looking for advice with building rooms right now. That being said, I'd really like to see more of your base.

[@shayb3]

Thanks for this information. My clan had to redo our whole structure and implement your suggestions.

[@kevinlee753]

Do you know if ranged servant can fire through the window to defend?

[@Thundersgaming]

I built on a hill in that location and some other clan built a wall that walled in my castle there

[@AlphaZeroOmega]

I actually started doing this today! Good to know I'm on the right track. Don't know if it's a good strategy or not, but I found myself a nice spot in the Silverlight Hills, south of Brighthaven Suburbs. Placed the castle heart towards the back as my main base, and used my other up front to honeycomb the heck out of the only way in!

[@Skullbushi]

how does the bat form work? can people just bat into your territory and summon a golem at the back? what are the restrictions?

[@msbabycakes]

not if its claimed tile

[@vamperic]

You can't land on claimed tiles and cant carry anything (other than your weapons)

[@Skullbushi]

Ty all that saves me a lot of worry

[@sharpazn]

is it possible to build during a siege? it'd be pretty funny to wall of the entrance and trap your attackers and slowly whittle away at them

Depends. If they have claim spots everywhere then no.

can you fly with a bat and use golem if you land on a non squared area on youre base? also can you fly with explosives too? thanks in advance.

[@macnutbustr]

In PvP can you break threw walls with golum or just doors? and how long does it take to break threw a door?

[@DarkLineSnes]

only problem with honeycomb in this game is they can see inside the next room, so if you leave any tip about which is the way to your storage they'll go straight for it and you cant do nothing about it. another way you can use it is instead of building this build the smallest castle you can with just the necessary then build a normal "PVE" base with a big garden and some stuff outside, usually most people wont raid u unless you piss them off another quick tip to everyone, always build your base with entrances close as possible to the roads, otherwise people can build around your base and block you inside, and yes its not bannable on official servers, though on unnoficials it is in most of them.

[@peterbabicki8252]

I know the appeal of raiding and open world PvP, but after a while I decided it wasn't for me. I'm on a PvE server, and my castle is looking awesome.

[@MinecraftMartin]

Online play past 25 years or so, one thing has never changed. People love to enjoy at your expense. There's always a group of bullies who will take it too far and just grief the hell out of you until you quit the game or they get bored. Call me what you want, but I only do PVP when it's heavily moderated. Gave up depending on people to show some sportsmanship and keep it honest.

[@jaeden1132]

Yep that's how it is. Me and my mates have taken it upon ourselves to police our server a bit. Whenever a high level player is ganking low levels, we note their name down. If it happens more often, we go pay them a visit. We start off with a simple duel, no loot on ya mano-e-mano. But if your butthole is not hurting enough after that, we get out the big guns.

[@varlunmulland3992]

So there is one thing i dont understand. you have 250 border so how do you combind your two Custle together ? becous i build it in the same area but i can not but the border together becous its sais ( to close to other castel ) so wat do i need to do ? PLS help

[@Endrick5]

Question- You said max out heart gives you 250 spaces, but from my googling and what I've read is the max is 150, for tier 3. Is there a tier 4 that provides the 250? or are the websites incorrect. I haven't yet built a tier 3, just shy of the glass needed but trying to plan out a good defense.

[@theodorelong7738]

You can go higher to tier 4. Those websites are wrong.

I'm going to start playing V Rising soon, and I was just wondering how central to the game is base building, is it something I don't have to spend a ton of time on if I don't want to or not? Also, I know it's a survival game, but is there enough action so that it's not boring?

[@theearth6010]

It is what you make it to be :) if you want action like pvp you can go to popular places like copper/iron mines etc.. but you do have to spend some time bullding beacuse you wont progress without the certain crafting stations! I love both pvp and basebuilding and of course pve

[@gleemanvincent8820]

In this situation where the raiders can only attack in 1 direction (east to west), does the "honeycombing" method even matter? Or would just building like 10 lines of walls be the same defense at that point, since theyre only moving in 1 direction, right?

[@yurpi3425]

I would put window walls on the sides so you can shoot at the golems as they are pushing in. You want to be able to damage the golem yourself or else you get raided with no defence

[@gleemanvincent8820]

Can you carry a siege golem or explosives while in Bat form? Like could you fly to the back of someones base, over there walls, then drop a golem behind their base where the defense is weaker?

[@BPR-IronCurtain]

You cannot.

Anyone know how you get the tailoring floor? People say you get it from Beatrice the Tailor but I've killed her & no floor for me?

The best strategy for me so far is to leave the doors open and never have too many resources, weapons, etc for the invaders to take as a reward. I leave the base almost empty and keep important stuff in another small base that no one thinks will have anything good. obviously i'm kidding, i haven't played v rising yet

I've just secured a huge spot (soon upgrading to lvl4 just to build it all inside lol) and I've placed some basic buffer walls, but I'm soon thinking to do it much more like the vid shows. However, does that mean that you're basically cursing yourself to be opening ridiculous amount of doors every time you come back home?

if you play for a long time each day, you can just have only one door shut, and then before you log off, shut all doors, just gotta know the raid times for your server.

[@MyNenii]

SOOO HEAR ME OUT, i did bat form on this base on the back, they grounded everything but you can still land on the floor like in a corner on end of the map, so u can still land, place the golem and then what i did is just despawned everything and got rid of the clan :) there will be always a way to raid very easy, if we destroy 1 door with golem, everything is then broken and u just can hit it with spells and at, like in 5 min we managed to destroy like more then 5 doors XD so i dont think honeycome will work good on this game
