Base Building

One should only construct a land base if one is intending for it to be permanent and long lasting. The main benefit of land bases is that they last even when a player leaves the game. Make one in a location only you know! So, here are some tips:

Make sure it is not too close to the center of the map, as the closer to the center, the more players and one of them might take over your base, or wreck it.

Surprisingly, grills and Water Makers are more durable than wooden walls. They should be considered luxury walls, but keep in mind that metal is harder to obtain than wood, as you can't use an axe to collect metal. Use them to make your base stronger!

Add some plant pots. These are a really efficient food source and last after you leave. They can produce food very fast if you have 4 of them!

Make it long lasting. Don't put things that will not last long, or break after you leave.

Therefore, here is a list of things you should not put on a land base:

Chests: After you leave the game, chests become permanently locked, and you cannot reopen them. Breaking them will not give you the stuff in the chest, unless it was on a raft.

Doors: Once you leave the game, doors will become permanently locked!

Pineapples: Pineapples are not in the game. Pineapples are funny however.
