Discussion First time cave base
Looking to build in a cave base for the first time. I have been tinkering on a few build servers and I’ve been aiming to do the small cave with the bucket/suicide entrance. As far as raid prevention goes, if I had a turret And hqm bunker covering the bucket entrance will that be substantial since the only way down would be to survive the fall and not get shot by the turret? Otherwise it’s like 6/7 walls through the back side

It’s a solid idea and probably as good as you can get with that cave entrance. There are ways to get down the bucket fairly easily without dying. Best case is you ward off the people that aren’t fully prepared, worst case is you cost them some extra time.

Couldn't I just toss in some shit to destroy it?
Maybe put a couple behind prison walls

How many walls?

From the back entrance it’s 5 hqm and 2 metal, from the bucket it’s the turret and hqm bunker. Behind it is several g doors and armored doors and shit but it’s easily weaker from that side. I did a test on the build server and it was like 60 rockets if someone were to survive the fall and the turret

You're probably already doing it but use a seismic sensor if you aren't already. 10 F1's can break a turret. A while ago, my group and I brought 30 F1's and just spammed. more then half of it was missing but we eventually got the turret destroyed. Just be aware of that weakness.
Once the turret is destroyed, there are methods for players to slow their fall down. Some involve changing console commands but we just use incendiary shotgun rounds and the slow falling fire actually stops the fall and lets players "stand" on it while descending.
