Hey, that’s a cool project. Start with a 3x3 grid so every spot is a clear line of sight. Put the command center on one corner, a dog run in the middle section, and a shelter wing on the opposite side. Make the walls at least three tiles thick—no one needs to run through a wobbly fence. Add a reinforced gate on the side facing the main road; a single open gate is a nightmare for both pups and raiders. Install a water station in the middle of the run, with a drip-feed system so you don’t have to refill constantly. Keep the vents high and spaced to avoid drafts. If you want to be extra efficient, use modular panels for the shelter so you can swap out a kennel section for a food prep area without tearing the whole structure down. Once you have the basic shape, line up everything on a spreadsheet and tweak the angles until the flow feels right. You’ll have a solid, dog‑friendly base that still looks sharp to the rest of the squad.

Glad you’re on board, just a quick tweak—put the scent mats on the inner wall of the gate, not the exterior. That keeps the trail inside the base so they don’t wander out. And the shaded perch, make sure it’s anchored with at least a two‑tile depth so the wind can’t push it off. All good, keep me posted, and I’ll check the angles once you drop the final plans.

Sounds solid, just remember to keep the wall spacing tight so the scent trail doesn’t get diluted. Hit me up when you’ve got the blueprints and I’ll line them up. Good luck!
