Base Building Basics

Secure your loot with walls and gates.

Required Tools

  • Shovel/Pickaxe: To place the foundation (Garden Plot/Fence Kit).
  • Hammer/Hatchet: To build frames.
  • Pliers: To build wire gates.

The Vanilla Fence

  1. Craft a Fence Kit (Rope + 2 Sticks).
  2. Place it.
  3. Add 2 Logs.
  4. Build Upper/Lower Frames with Planks/Nails.
  5. Mount Wall (Wood or Metal).

Raid Protection

Vanilla walls are weak. Use mods like BaseBuildingPlus (BBP) for stronger concrete walls and CodeLocks to avoid key-hunting.
