The most important thing in this game is choosing a defensible position for a base. Generally the best place to look for is a natural inset in the mountainside. Then dig inward and establish your most important assets inside. Another important thing to note is that you can defend a lot better if enemies do not have a direct line of sight with your base until they are in range.

(note: This is the absolutly ideal spot, even better if you find thermal vents there)

Raiders tend to hug the walls as they assault you, so mines are your best friend.
I don't use waffling or "kill rooms" and this has been a standard set up for me.

If you can't find any kind of natural inset, start digging one out, the first 3 raids should be pretty easy to defend.
I have about 12 colonists on Kassandra (evil bitch) and i regularly take out raiding parties of over 30 raiders without breaking a sweat. hope this helps...

[What is Blockland?]

What is Blockland?

http://www.blockland.us/

Blockland is essentially internet Internet Legos. It predates Minecraft but is still updated to this day and has finally gotten off it's ass and gotten greenlit on steam.

What can you do in blockland?
You can do a number of things, You can build whatever you want for starters. Things like this...
Isengard

Or this
Facechild's big blue battle

Or THIS!
THE LSDM

And these...




Okay, so I can build things, big woop... what else is there?
You can add weapons spawns and turn you map into a deathmatch. Create racing minigames. Custom minigames. So many minigames!
Additionally the game has a neat feature called eventing, which is basically addins simplified code to bricks to make things happen when you interact with them, such as a door opening, a wall crumbling or even a fully functional MIDI sequencer, sky's the limit.

On top of that, there is vertually limitless user created add-ons that are as easy to install as dragging and droping a Zip file into your add-ons folder.

It's a pretty fun game you should check it out.

Hello,
I am known as Facechild. I came across this game watching people like Scott Manly do let's plays, and thought it looked interesting. I finally broke down and bought the Alpha and I have to say, I love this game, My first few colonies failed miserably after the 3rd or so wave of raiders, but I have now got this game down to a science and have no trouble surviving indefinitely on randy random and am now trying out Kassandra.

I enjoy many games, but much prefer games where you can create things, such as Blockland, Minecraft or Garry's mod.
I am currently in college taking architectural Drafting and have a strong interest in art.

That is all.

I'm going to ask...

My 3rd play-through has been quite successful, I decided to play on Randy Random because I'm a rebel.
Over-all base.
