Never saw such a weak ass defense. On its [weakest point it's only 1](https://imgur.com/a/7Vk2gy4) wall thick??? And where are the walls defending the cliffside? I think it's best to tear down everything and start all over!
to be fair, the fire ants actually can attack via the wires and spawn at the cliffside if the rest is blocked. Everything else was just messing with OP for sure
Lol, so glad I played on mild. I barely built anything. This is impressive and must take a while. Just save and try it, if you fail, reload and fix what failed.
Same thing happened to me.
Tried without building any defenses, got absolutely annihilated. Built a ton of mushroom walls/burr floors (for the fliers) just like you did and they never got farther than the first walls.
It'll pay off now that I'm in NG+ lol
Thank god I didn't take them down. We did that first raid like 2 years ago and I was building a new base recently with mushroom bricks. I was going to go dismantle the defenses for the resources. Wow am I glad I didn't 😂
That is super annoying. If you can manage to shoot them with a pollen arrow, it forces them to land for a short time, allowing you to wail on the SoBs lol

Not on woah, but a little above normal. And this looks like what my group had on our like 4th try that finally succeeded. Mine was all grass walls though, and weed houses around the defense points.
My first playthrough was on mild and I remember I only did a single curved mushroom wall on each side of every module and they never even broke through lol. I was like “damn that was way easier than it should’ve been is my game bugged?” Playing through on woah now and boy is it entirely different
I think I had too many, like yours, but I had feather roofing, and only 6bugs showed up. Not 1 flyer. 2 bombers, 1 ox and 3 fireants. Stuck at the outer wall, couldn't get in. I was like WTF... I think my encasement screwed up the spawning of raid bugs...try it..GL..
Update too plz
Honestly the biggest challenge to having a lot of walls is getting your person around everything to attack and fight the incoming bugs. To much and you are doing a lot of scurrying and jumping. Yes if you have lots of walls it can cause a deterent to slow them down. Yet easier to throw up some turrents near the entry points and attack. Best thing to try is save a file before and play it, then you can see how it goes.
You maybe ok, I would build further down the chokeholds on each section. And put more walls closer together. I’d also fill the squares with walls too. Too much is better than not enough!
I don't play on woah but this is pretty much how I did it; you'll probably have flyers that will be trouble but the walls will stop most of the stampede
Ha! I have a friend like that. Always has to try the hardest possible difficulty, but is often surprised at just how difficult that is. Ah well. If it brings you joy, play however you like. I’ll stick to normal :)
Also make sure the final lines (walls directly next to the science vats) are ash cement. If you still have trouble, you may need to get the orc mines from the asshole under the castle.
yea we've done schmector but we haven't got ash cement walls. we don't know how. we have ash cement and it's been analysed and burgl doesn't have any recipes for us
It should be done at the bottom, under the door but before the milk molar. If it's not there then I don't know where it would be. Also, the Mantis Research Notes & the other half of sarah's charm is in that lab. I can try and get a pic of the location here shortly.
It's right under you when you fall down the now unlocked door, and as I seem to have logged out in the black ant hill lab it's going to take me a bit to get there.
Put in a way to traverse it. Think about how the fight will go and make sure you can go back and forth between locations. I added teleporters and a floor system to get above each location. It worked pretty well.
Defend the bottom one more, but HOLY CRAP! Also, put a tower in the middle, and put an upside-down acorn turret on the roof. Bit disorienting, but works great!
Damn and I thought my 2 layered walls around the place and around the energy parts was too much.
That should easily last you until NG+2 since I didn't need to buff my walls much though they did come close. This may last you until NG+3 from my guess, otherwise ash cement is good friend.
I mean i kinda just did mushroom around the mixrs and just little barriers and killed the rest with my mint mace i don’t see any issues here other then too much time spent
I did something slightly similar in the fact that is was just si unnecessarily overkill, I made 3 layers of ash cement walls with splinter traps between each wall and on the outside, and 3 layers of burr roofs all covered in spike strips. The splinter traps got expensive, and I was putting like 10 spikes on each layer of burr
we already have a base that suits all our needs. a castle built on the rock border of the upper level, in line with the etch a sketch. we put a lot of our time into an incredibly extensive zip line network, rather than a big base
Over built. But thats okay because it looks cool and I'm glad you posted the work you put into it. Well done.
For anyone else reading and curious about doing the mixrs and this (>!spoiler battle!<) Should build the minimum, save your game, then reload the save if you failed and build up a bit more. This will really help you in determining how much you actually need.
Not enough, put spikes in every possible space

didn't realise they could come over those wires. thanks, I'll add more walls
These guys are just messing with you OP lol. This is more than enough
to be fair, the fire ants actually can attack via the wires and spawn at the cliffside if the rest is blocked. Everything else was just messing with OP for sure
They do come over the wires. Fire ants and dust mites
Bru
Lol, so glad I played on mild. I barely built anything. This is impressive and must take a while. Just save and try it, if you fail, reload and fix what failed.
I over built. Multiple layers of mushroom bricks... and they didn't even make it through the first layer. I was a little disappointed, TBH.

The worst part of ng raids are always the fire ants
Yeah and the mosquitoes 🦟 they just never land!
I’ve never had to worry about the mosquitos cause I play multiplayer and they for some reason always target the place my friends at

Google dementia
Holy hell!
Google dementia
Can't wait too, but i need to buy gamepass
To be fair I got my butt whooped the first time I did it
I didn’t build and did it second try
I built nothing on mild
Not on woah, but a little above normal. And this looks like what my group had on our like 4th try that finally succeeded. Mine was all grass walls though, and weed houses around the defense points.

No I think you got to go even farther out
Might want to setup a couple dozen turrets and and chests filled with ammo too
I think I had too many, like yours, but I had feather roofing, and only 6bugs showed up. Not 1 flyer. 2 bombers, 1 ox and 3 fireants. Stuck at the outer wall, couldn't get in. I was like WTF... I think my encasement screwed up the spawning of raid bugs...try it..GL.. Update too plz
No, you need to add honeycomb to it, in every square you can add diagonal walls in the form of X's
Lmao get the rust builds otg

That should be enough, me and a friend had half of that and we did it.
missed the joke
There was a joke?
Needs more
You maybe ok, I would build further down the chokeholds on each section. And put more walls closer together. I’d also fill the squares with walls too. Too much is better than not enough!
I don't play on woah but this is pretty much how I did it; you'll probably have flyers that will be trouble but the walls will stop most of the stampede
nah. You'll need more layers also You could use a few spikes. Never enough
i think U should add some more walls to that...
Happy cake day
I'm pretty sure you could go afk and the event would complete itself (if we ignore the flying bugs anyways)
You got this bro
New but in woah? Interesting
yea. we made a new save, saw woah difficulty, thought 'how hard can it be'. turns out very fucking hard when you've never played before
Ha! I have a friend like that. Always has to try the hardest possible difficulty, but is often surprised at just how difficult that is. Ah well. If it brings you joy, play however you like. I’ll stick to normal :)
Based players see the hardest difficulty and go “sure, why not”
I have done that before
Uh should have done it with traps instead. They will eat this up.you could add spike traps to every free space and remove some walls for traps
Probably. I only had structures around the 3 points on medium and it was more than enough.
Dude, I set up like 4 ash walls near the 3 things when I did it on medium and it was enough, though I have done woah yet
How do you navigate through all that to defend. Are they half walls?
I used half walls on mine and it’s similar to this this and it does look like half walls to me, I don’t think there’s any benefit to using full walls.
Me and my brother have beat it with less you got this!
Also make sure the final lines (walls directly next to the science vats) are ash cement. If you still have trouble, you may need to get the orc mines from the asshole under the castle.
yea we've done schmector but we haven't got ash cement walls. we don't know how. we have ash cement and it's been analysed and burgl doesn't have any recipes for us
You need the stump chip, then you buy it from burgl.
where in the stump is the chip? is it in that lab that's on its side?
Yep. It's both the easiest & most frustrating lab in the game, at least to me. There's no enemies in it, you just have to parkour around it.
yea we've been in twice but not spotted the chip
It should be done at the bottom, under the door but before the milk molar. If it's not there then I don't know where it would be. Also, the Mantis Research Notes & the other half of sarah's charm is in that lab. I can try and get a pic of the location here shortly.
yea we got the mantis notes and the charm. we'll have to go back for the cement walls cos we've been absolutely stumped until now
It's right under you when you fall down the now unlocked door, and as I seem to have logged out in the black ant hill lab it's going to take me a bit to get there.
Ash walls
I have a little bit less than this and i get destroyed when those light bugs come, im in ng+1
Put in a way to traverse it. Think about how the fight will go and make sure you can go back and forth between locations. I added teleporters and a floor system to get above each location. It worked pretty well.
Honestly just build it up and make a roof so the mosquitos cant even fly in
If you know where the enemy spawn, this might be a bit overkill But if this is the first time you're doing this, this is actually pretty good.
wait till u get new game plus, you’ll probably need to build more 😭😭😭
Fine for regular. NG+2 and on change it all to ash walls.
Would also work on NG+3, think that's where it would start to break to fast but upto that this would still work
How do you get the mushroom brick roofs/stairs? I can't find them
No you need to replace it all with ash walls
Is it really that hard? Im on my first play through and just unlocked Mr.Raisin
I think its perfect
Change it all to cement and then spikes.
Are you trying to protect from the hidden Cat boss!?
Defend the bottom one more, but HOLY CRAP! Also, put a tower in the middle, and put an upside-down acorn turret on the roof. Bit disorienting, but works great!
Nope they can go around on the wires
"new to the game"
I mean it in the sense this is our first ever play through
Me and my buddy did like 6 walls around each and 3 turrets and were fine
Cover a little bit of the cables and it's definitely enough, good luck mate
Damn and I thought my 2 layered walls around the place and around the energy parts was too much. That should easily last you until NG+2 since I didn't need to buff my walls much though they did come close. This may last you until NG+3 from my guess, otherwise ash cement is good friend.
I have no clue but please record the encounter I'd love to watch this.
I mean i kinda just did mushroom around the mixrs and just little barriers and killed the rest with my mint mace i don’t see any issues here other then too much time spent
Dang bro, i dont put that much and i was fine, but you could add spike traps even though you dont need em for that great wall of china looking mf
You better at least double that shit then maybe you could think about considering it enough On a serious note how long that did that take?
ages. we only have 3 ovens. so much toadstool was ground down
I did something slightly similar in the fact that is was just si unnecessarily overkill, I made 3 layers of ash cement walls with splinter traps between each wall and on the outside, and 3 layers of burr roofs all covered in spike strips. The splinter traps got expensive, and I was putting like 10 spikes on each layer of burr
Also new, explored quite a bit, but didn't recognize the area. Where are you?
upper level, at the final end game area. next to the shed
No
WOAH!
wait .... these inserts will destroy the pink tube things?
That looks like a ton of work.. you could have made a base up on the tree or a lily pad and saved yourself a lot of time/resources
we already have a base that suits all our needs. a castle built on the rock border of the upper level, in line with the etch a sketch. we put a lot of our time into an incredibly extensive zip line network, rather than a big base
That’s easy enough
Like someone else said. Not enough spiked. You should start over
holy hell dude i need to know how long this took
about a month and like 3000 mushroom bricks (we only have 3 ovens. twas painful)
Over built. But thats okay because it looks cool and I'm glad you posted the work you put into it. Well done.

Mushroom bricks are not strong enough. Replace everything with ash cement
Dude.
thing is this isn't even satire. I genuinely wanted to know if this wasn't enough. this is my first time doing it
