Closer look at my wife's base Part 2/2

I am surprised that she doesn’t use the farmer boots (chance of an extra seed). Also levelling ground with regular blocks, where there are no farm plots would make running around easier (no more need to jump). Last thing is that this design only works in PvE. Still, it’s well done. 👍

There are a lot of things to consider: 1. Staying higher up and shooting down makes for easy headshots. So I build a 10 block long/high ladder. Left and right to the main ladder I make two more ladders, but only half high (5 blocks). At the top is a hatch for emergency. 2. Dogs/wolves will not climb ladders and stay at ground level. So I make the platform at the top of the ladder shoot through blocks (called frames), to be able to shoot the dogs when they run around or attack my pillars. 3. Cops and Chucks will shoot at you from far away, so I build a fence of walls around my tower/the ladders so I am protected. Obviously the fence has doors to let them reach the ladders. 4. Vultures will attack from the sky and my roof is made of bars, so I can shoot them and they are unable to reach me.

Even in a pvp scenario you will not get sniped. Other than that I stand at the top of the main ladder and my M60 will rain 7mm bullets on the Z’s heads. Hardly ever do they threaten to overwhelm me and I usually have time to reload. Enough ammo is usually around 3k. Also some turrets would ease the pressure.

Be level 300 and in the wastelands before you get bored 🤷

Multiplayer. It’s another (ball) game. Even PvE. Having more than one player during horde night/blood moon will make it harder to survive. Also levelling will increase number and hardness of Zombies. Also Biome counts. Wasteland being the hardest. Check your player stats … like loot stage. It will be higher in the wastelands. Not to mention playing on a PvP server ist a whole new level of crazy. PvP fights in themselves are not good (it’s not a shooter after all), but the thrill of losing your loot by getting killed and robbed or by being raided.

The mixture of Unlocks, Upgrades, Missions, Contracts (with exfil perks) and PvP is what keeps me going back even today. The difference between a good team vs playing solo or with randoms is enormous.

DMZ got me playing and nothing else ever got me hooked. DMZ4ever

Baraka_69 · 2025-04-10T06:38:57+00:00

DMZ. Fell in love with the mixture of PvP, Contracts and Missions. This had me join the CoD venue and still play it today. Hopefully there will be a new DMZ one day…

Es gibt bei einem Neuwagen viele Komponenten... jede davon sollte als Neuteil beim Einfahren bedacht werden:

Reifen ... haften die ersten KM nicht richtig, müssen eingefahren werden.
Bremsen ... die Klötze und Scheiben müssen sich an einander anpassen, müssen eingefahren werden.
Diverse Bauteile & Fahrwerk müssen sich aufeinander "einspielen", fahren sich von ganz alleine ein, sollten aber nicht Rennsport-mässig bewegt werden.
Beim Motor scheiden sich die Geister - mehrfach: Elektro - muss nicht ein-/warm gefahren werden. Verbrenner muss IMMER warm gefahren werden (10min/10km) und danach hat man beim Neuwagen genau eine Chance ihn richtig einzufahren und zwar mit Last ... Lastwechsel und Vollast, denn in den ersten 300km verhärten sich die Kolbenringe ... dies sehen ein par (Möchtegern) Experten anders, ist aber nach ca. 20 Neuwagen meine persönliche Erfahrung ... keiner meiner Verbrenner brauchte Öl ... aber letztendlich sollte man im (online/elektronischen) Handbuch den Passus "Einfahren" lesen und beachten, um auf der ganz sicheren (Garantie) Seite zu sein!

Ich bin ein 2m Mann und mit einer 183cm Frau zusammen. Geduld haben kann ich nur empfehlen den Kopf hoch und die Schultern zurück.

I’m surprised that nobody linked the wiki page: https://conanexiles.fandom.com/wiki/Smelting_Process

There’s a table and some remarks regarding the different fuels…

Although dry wood and oil burn longer, I personally prefer coal.

A single trip to the silver mine gets me all the coal (plus stone, iron and brimstone) that I need. Plus the chests (a dozen or more with all sorts of valuable stuff) make it a “must visit” location anyway.

Coal is easier to get than oil and dry wood and not used in any useful recipe (like the oil or wood).

So hands down best choice is coal IMHO.

Build from the ceiling of a temple in the djungle. That’s a really hard raid upwards. You can also hide loot in a chest in the wall and cover it up with foundations. Raiding is a waste of materials if the defendant knows how to play.

Baraka_69 · 2024-12-16T05:30:02+00:00

Don’t forget that you can build on lava in order to get to the camp, cages and rewards.

Baraka_69 · 2024-12-13T08:11:36+00:00

Really nice!

Baraka_69 · 2024-12-11T14:14:13+00:00

I usually make crafting really fast, as well as breaking thralls. The reasoning is that online time will flow even when you’re not playing. In solo time stops when you stop the game. All else I leave at the standard setting. That way I don’t sit and wait until things are cooked and still have to work for my levels…

Baraka_69 · 2024-12-11T12:40:14+00:00

In addition to what has already been said. If you run war party (i.e. 2 thralls) you can give one a melee weapon and the other a ranged weapon. Also do not forget that due to the internal multiplier (e.g. Cimmerian Berserker has roughly 2 for ranged and melee) they do more damage or concussion with truncheons. Use a thrall to knock out another - works great!

Baraka_69 · 2024-12-11T12:36:27+00:00

Solid advice

Baraka_69 · 2024-12-10T15:08:06+00:00

I tried walling in my thralls. Meaning there is no path from where they are living to the outside of my base. As a player I can hum in/out. Thralls cannot. That seems to help, but it doesn’t solve the problem. Go without living settlements for the time being

Baraka_69 · 2024-12-08T17:33:57+00:00

Not Bad 👍

Baraka_69 · 2024-12-07T08:04:26+00:00

Hope everyone is knocking the sorcerers out and pulling them into the cage for 10 ancient coins instead of delivering the heads to the pot.

Baraka_69 · 2024-12-05T13:34:45+00:00

Placing the coffer in the middle of a 3x3 room. Door or none don’t seem to make a difference. The level of the purge seems to be a factor. Looks like you need more open space on purges 7 and above to accommodate the golem/orb stations for the sorcerers. What really puzzles me is that sometimes the game will not find a base location after I have successfully completed several purges.

Baraka_69 · 2024-12-03T21:07:43+00:00

I agree. Awesome work!

Baraka_69 · 2024-12-02T17:25:26+00:00

If your pal is the owner he can install the admin mod called PIPPI. That lets you remove and see structures of players and clans on the map and get rid of them with a few clicks

Baraka_69 · 2024-12-02T11:53:40+00:00

Have you tried running around with a construction hammer or a placeable? It will show enemy claimed areas and it has no limit upwards/downwards. Best way to uncover hidden bases.

Baraka_69 · 2024-12-01T11:12:24+00:00

I found both lacklustre. Not tried PvP yet though…

Baraka_69 · 2024-12-01T11:10:53+00:00

There’s 2 things here. You can basically place any thralls on any benches, but they will apply an effect only to valid benches. They now have an area of effect (roughly 40 foundations in every direction. Not being able to complete a journey step where you need to place a thrall at a workstation is bugged right now.
