I saw alot of people make a fancy entrance-deathtrap, as a way to stop attackers. But how do I prevent them from para-dropping into my base thats inside a mountain?

Don't only have a few outside defenses keep internal ones at "check points"

If you've got the right structure you can make 300 raiders run after fighting a single turret although its more likely to be 5-7

Okay! look at the attachment =P

1. That is chapman, he's a pirate and he wants to destroy you but to get to your base he has to crawl over line of sandbags

2. Chapman reaches area with clear floor and quickly spots the sentry turrets taking shots at him
he's out to get some revengeance!

3. Chapman doesn't wanna play ball with me so he sets himself in flames and runs in my base in panic
pretty much ruining my attempt of making the series of images (thanks chapman)

4. Now here's Karo! Karo is much smarter pirate and brought a shotgun to dish out chaos with.
now in theory larger wave of pirates would clutter in that tiny zone with Karo and the turrets in
and do their best to destroy them

5. turrets explode leaving massive bloody mess behind and really likely routing rest of the
attackers after seeing like first 50 of them explode



There! that's only one way of doing that, there's lot of variations you could come up with
sandbags might not be necessary at all
