Add Castle Defence Items to Build With

1.7K votes

It would be great for castle builds to have working drawbridges, portcullises, trap doors, etc, each tiered to go from basic wood to metal plated versions, getting more hp the higher tier they are, if we get optional pvp or raid events in the future these would be great additions to have.

I would like to have a raid-mode where enemies start an Invasion on my homebase. Furthermore it would be nice of there where possibilities for building an defense-infrastructure. All in all the mode could work like a Tower Defense.

I would also like to see more NPC companions in my base. The companions could help to gain ressources like stone, wood, plants etc to increase the income. Maybe we can give them different tasks. In Addition to that there would be more life in the Homebase :)

there is one where you have to step on a plate then shoot the target to unlock one of the steps for a door. it keeps thinking the door is closed and if im by myself which i am. It can not be shot as the door seems to be closed well it clearly has opened. the arrow hits the door even thoough its opened .. the game thinks the door is still closed even though youve stepped on the button,

Craftable balistas, catapults, and traps would be badazz too.

Anything to add competitiveness. Some sort of base defense mechanics with npc companions is always awesome. Right now, I'm itching to see more people in the world (PC and NPC). Its huge and lonely and there's only 6 of us.... 5 just stand there repeating the same random crap to me. They were cool when they learned new things, but now I am wanting some patrolling guards, and maybe some archers to defend my territory! Maybe even a few people that can actually be placed in the chairs and use the tables I have sitting empty.

Lancet/ Gothic Arches please
I'd love to upvote this comment. I want the FURNITURE items. But I decided not to upvote it because it includes mention of PvP.

I do NOT want PvP.

The furniture items are all I want. Especially gothic style castle roofs, Gothic style windows, etc. (Please don't make them churchy. Gothic style isn't church style)

Building any type of defense system would be really cool. Plus, wouldn't it be common sense? I mean the places that have the most resources are huge targets for raiders or scavengers. Not to mention the big evil Shroud with all its monsters. It'd be really neat if there would be more npcs at some point. After all what would be the point of saving the land from the Shroud if there weren't any survivors (not including you and your crafters) around somewhere. That way you could have some in charge of the defense systems. Install some watch towers with warning bells they'd ring to warn the settlement of impending danger. It'd also be cooler if the Shroud was way more of an active threat. As it is now, it's just sort of there. It doesn't expand or do ANYTHING. It just stays in the same spot and stays the same size. Have it be even creepier somehow. Give it more of a horror vibe.

A Drawbridge woulb be nice but even better would be a watermoat around your base, for example that you can get water with a bucket out of our Well and then put it in it or just build a pump that can do that, would be interessting to see even it would be hard to accomplish....

It would be so cool to be a fort commander of the last survivors and potentially re-populating the world,
holding court in your tavern when npcs fight and distributing land and see their community grow, as a late game content
when the shroud was stopped by the Flameborn!
Could even have some reference to "the builders"

This would be nice against not just the PVP aspects, but for random mobs or mini-bosses that may stray into your area. Being able to set up defenses would put up a greater purpose to improve your home areas and give it a purpose to make forts, castles, etc.

Castles
Working drawbridges & portcullises = yes please!

Don't care for PvP. I want to build castles.

Things I want:
Circular towers with optional spiral staircases inside them

The pointed tops of towers as a new roof type. It would be very steep and meet at a point on top.

Castle arches! Windows, doorways, etc that are arched.
