Base Building Guide

Learn how to build efficient and defensive bases. Master the art of base construction and create an impenetrable fortress that generates maximum resources.

Base Building Fundamentals

Resource Generators (Droppers)

Droppers are the heart of your base. They generate coins automatically over time:

  • Start Tycoon Dropper: Your first dropper, activate it immediately
  • Lightning Droppers: Advanced droppers for increased income
  • Powerful Dropper: High-tier dropper for maximum resource output
  • Dark Matter Dropper: Elite dropper ensuring steady supply
  • Powerful Upgraders: Maximize resource output efficiency

Strategy: Build multiple droppers before upgrading. Start with 3-5 basic droppers, then gradually upgrade to advanced types as your economy grows.

Defense Structures

Protect your investments with strategic defense upgrades:

  • Upgrade Walls: Basic protection, upgrade to maximum level for security
  • Unlock Windows: Provides visual intel without exposing interior
  • Unlock Laser Doors: Enhanced security for multiple base levels
  • Unlock Stairs: Access higher levels of your base
  • Unlock Ceiling: Completes base structure, creating a formidable fortress

Combat Facilities

Enhance your combat capabilities with these upgrades:

  • Gun Stands: Unlock to acquire and store weapons
  • Unlock Heavy Armor Pads: Increases durability in combat
  • Unlock Heavy Armor: Advanced protection for late game
  • Unlock Juggernaut Armor: Ultimate protection, near-invincible force

Base Layout Strategies

Defensive Layout

Focus on protecting your resources with multiple layers of defense:

  • Outer ring of upgraded walls
  • Droppers placed in the center
  • Laser doors at key entry points
  • Windows for visual intel
  • Multiple levels with stairs for vertical expansion

Resource-Focused Layout

Maximize resource generation with minimal defense:

  • Multiple droppers in close proximity
  • Minimal walls for cost efficiency
  • Basic defense structures
  • Best for early game or safe zones

Balanced Layout (Recommended)

The recommended approach for most players:

  • Moderate number of droppers (5-8)
  • Strategic wall placement around key areas
  • Laser doors at critical entry points
  • Windows for situational awareness
  • Good for both PvE and PvP scenarios
