Base Building Tips

One of the issues that players are facing in PVP servers is their bases being raided or destroyed as soon as they are finished building it. The easiest way to tackle this is to have bases well hidden off the densely populated areas.

For instance, you can build your base on a plateau and keep the trees and rocks around it intact.

Another important thing that you can do is to fence off the perimeter of your base and tame some creatures such as Raptors or Mammoths and have them in your garage in case someone comes snooping in.

Moreover, you should always try to upgrade your base as soon as possible. It’s okay to get raided once in a while, but to have your entire base demolished every night is something you should avoid!

You can also build your base near water containing fishes so that you can have immediate access to meat without killing any hostile dinosaurs. This will also allow you to get rid of your dehydration.
