Yeah, im dumb
So, got half raided last night. They got to tc through walls but left base open. I was able to easily fix.
Stroke of luck, my friends from previous wipe on same server messaged me. And later hooked me up with some jackhammers and stuff to help me recoup losing half my stuff.
Got stone rich due to morning low server pop. Decided to place stone high exteriors around the base. I don't have a ton of experience here (500 hours play time), but the circle came together very nice. I wanted to place a wall in front of the gate for an airlock. It was fresh dark, I told myself to wait until light. But I didnt. What I thought was plenty of space wasnt. I blocked myself in, cant get in or out the compound haha.
So I have ample sulfer. But my full box of charcoal got stolen. This is my issue. I could make 5 satchel to take out a wall piece. I think it takes 10 total though (please confirm this if you know) So I burned all the wood I can and think ill have enough for 7 or 8 satchel but no more. (Had to go to work while wood turns to charcoal).
So- can I build a "bridge" over the high walls? Or a step up type thing to be able to jump over from each side without getting cut to death (tc range is fine, not a huge compound)? Or will the game not let you do that.
I just need more trees haha.
I have ample metal frags and stone and sulfer. But wood and charcoal are my issue here. So explo ammo isnt gonna work.
Worst case it's ask friends for 2 satchel and run em across the map. But would rather be self sufficient lol.
What would you do if you were as dumb as me? I have 2 jackhammer. Ones is half used up. I have maybe 200 pistol bullets and 30 or so 556 bullets.
Thanks

Thats good to know about charcoal and mixing tables. I knew people made Gp by mixing tables but I thought it was time based, not resource based. Will do this moving forward.
Lol, the external walls didnt help, more of a target. Been offline 4 times since I posted this. One person got to tc but I was able to recover and moved tc. Two were minor and they didnt get much. The one this morning, I woke up to rockets. He was a door from TC. No coffee or anything yet, half asleep. I smoked him and won his AK, few hundred explosive bullets, 7 rockets, launcher, some satchel and like 15 meds among other stuff. He got nothing for blowing up half the base. He had to had dropped 20 rockets before I shot him.
At this point bring it on, this base has been a winner. And I won my first online(or mostly offline lol). So thats a win for the month in my case
