I have found that Wards also provide a "hit back" at the attacker. I see the blue pulse when at my Meadow Base and hear the sound. Then I go around the perimeter and find the remains. Especially if it is Greylings, the Wards seem to wipe them out pretty quick. Wards are definitely worth having even in single-player.
Wards don't do that. They prevent other players from opening stuff or constructing/deconstructing. They don't offer damage protection. They don't do damage. They pulse and chime if any object in the wards radius is damaged (even for 0 damage). They provide the standard no spawn zone.
