How to protect your village?

Post by Rx25 » 30 Sep 2014, 01:53

Here's my problem. Our village is isolated from people, we have basic pitchforks but we've been since raided almost daily by people decked out in full armor/weapons, meaning we'll stand no chance in an actual fight. Even with us finishing a wooden palisade (stone walls are out of reach due to a lack of flux/resources due to being raided), one guy just put a log in the air and jumped over. The other time they jumped from the hill on one of our sides onto the head of another and jumped over (this can be mitigated by us though by terraforming, we're working on it). We have thus decided to make a moat (really an open mine done by digging) right at the palisade since you cannot float logs on top of 'mines'. We do run into problems with unmovable terrain, but we're working on this still.

Are there any other solutions available to us to protect our goods? We have started using mules to hold our valuables, which seems to be the safest thing right now. I am not sure if a 'house' with lock modules is in game yet to protect us even more. We've honestly just resorted to logging off our main characters when raiders come at this point. There's zero benefit to us sticking around.

Move elsewhere, get some weapons and armor and raid the fuckers back. There is currently no real way to protect your village and belongings. You could surround your village with high walls from all sides so if anyone would want to reach it, he'd have to cast homecoming spell to teleport to one of the houses in that village.
It is not 100% proof though, you still can build a ladder out of logs and climb up the wall.

If there is a will there is a way.

As soon as you have access to a proper lock then you should be fine for some things ... but it's alpha so except to find ways to get around that too.

walls are useless. Build houses with locks. Yes, that requires flux, but being raided doesn't prevent you from accumulating it. It has very little encumbrance in your inventory.

Thanks for the suggestions, we decided between issues with some guys and the GM being an abuser plus being the most powerful faction on the server it wasn't worth staying so we moved. Here's to a fresh start :friends:

Did you tried it yourselves? Storage capacity is a joke and only single person can use it.
