Base Building
Grounded Base Building: Layouts That Survive Raids
A strong Grounded base cuts travel time and survives ant raids. Learn vertical layouts, defensive layers, and production stations that run while you explore.
Vertical builds and zipline hubs
Stack labs and storage on elevated platforms. Ziplines between oak branches turn the map into a fast travel net.
Keep crafting stations on one floor — running stairs mid-craft wastes time during prep windows.
Defense layers and farm slots
Spike strips and window traps slow insect waves. Mushroom gardens and dew collectors on-site reduce outbound risk.
Light every entrance — night raids are deadlier when you cannot see spider silhouettes on walls.
