I get it. Loring the attack helicopter to the base and having it destroy it.
So, no. This isn't supposed to be easy mode. This isn't a test build server. Admins try to reduce it but its really not their job. The admins are way more helpful then they need to.
Its PVE and that's part of it. It's expected. Once it happens to you, you learn and adapt. Failure to adapt is not the fault of the admin or the server.
Upgrade your base - twig/wood only encourages bad behaviors
Use honeycomb
Use high exterior walls, barricades and traps.
Keep important things in your backpack when you are offline
Put your important items behind metal walls
Use solid foundation (Stone, Sheet metal and Armored) - so people CAN NOT hide under ( porches )
Remove spots where people can hide in or around your base.
Keep your fully upgraded base separate from your greenhouse, shops, clubs, hangouts etc
I have my benches in the middle of the room, in a upgraded base behind a armored wall. I take a risk by having my main base and shop together. I am aware of that risk.
I think the Heli plowing down giant twig hotels is a positive thing. All they do is create lag and no one uses them.
Heli is not your friend. It is as much as the environment as bears, wolves and zombies. You live in heli's world. Respect that. Fear that. Play the game a intended. Build your base like its getting raided. Defend what is yours.
That's just my opinion. Making the game even easier sound so boring.
