my remote quick bases are made of raised terrain walls that you have to run and jump carefully to get into. Just a ring big enough for a roof, fire, portal, and a few comfort items like 3 rugs & a chair or whatever. The key to this game is making stuff inaccessible to the enemy more than trying to defend it with combat or multiple rings of walls and spikes etc.

but you may want to study what people told you about keeping your bases safe. A deep trench, or loft terrain up troll head high, or an island with anti-spawn are the 3 main approaches.
my personal design is a ring of lofted terrain (forms a 'basement' ) with floor tiles over that and build up from there. the lofted terrain keeps the baddies away and you get a 'free' level (the basement) as the upper part is still 'grounded' for building high.

So if I don't want to lose hours and spend hours getting them back I have to build fort knox? I never expected the game to be easy but I also didn't take the description of the game literally. This really is a "purgatory inspired by viking culture." I didn't know it was going to be literal ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ purgatory.

Lol, you dont need all that. My bases are 100% open, no walls, no trenches. When i get attacked I kite the enemies away from my base and kill them myself. Combat in this game is pretty straight forward once you learn it.
