Hi All! I'm still pretty new to the game and was wondering if it's feasible to have bases in different biomes without cheese defense tactics. I remember back at launch, I wanted to build in black forest, but I would constantly get attacked doing anything haha. I only briefly saw plains biome and thought a base would be cool there, but I know the enemies are difficult.
Any suggestions or tips would be super helpful, thanks!

Each biome has its own varied survival challenges of course, and thus adapting to those changes is up to you. One of the most common tactics for base protections in any biome is of course the building of earthen high walls and when applicable trenches too. Those wouldn't be cheesing (you didnt clearly define what you meant by cheesing btw).

Also keep in mind as you kill each boss, you'll enact increasingly more challenging event raids that can occur against your bases and thus potentially require you to do even more in order to protect your bases.

All in all, there are a plethora of videos on youtube about building base defenses for different scenarios and different biomes you may wish to check out.
