I have a real hard time with this part of the game. The learning curve is brutal. With that said, there are a few things you can do to overcome them.

1) Corpse Runs - Post on the LFG thread and it doesn't take too long to get help, but don't wait until you die several times, because some of the marked corpses disappear from map and a week later you accidentally stumble on it.

NOTE: When asking for a player to help, make sure you disable all mods as nobody can enter your server unless you each have same mods or are totally vanilla.

2) Trashed bases from greydorf raids can be protected by surrounding them with a wall or spike traps. If you are behind a wall and they try to destroy it, you can repair faster than the raid can destroy it.
