Hey Erdor, have you ever mapped out a base layout that follows the principles of optimal resource flow while keeping defense in mind? I find the old patch notes on resource spawning make a huge difference, and I could sketch a spreadsheet that proves the best spot for the water well and lumber mill.

I’ve seen a few of those maps. Keep the main paths straight, cluster the high‑value resources in a line that’s easy to guard, and put the water well on the inside of the outer wall so enemies can’t get to it first. If you lay out the lumber mill a little farther back but still within the same corridor, you give yourself a buffer while still feeding the builders. A simple spreadsheet that tracks distance, expected spawn times and defensive choke points will show where the best spots are. Let me know if you want me to double‑check the numbers.

That sounds spot‑on, thank you! I’ll run a quick test on the current spawn timings and see if the buffer distance holds up under a wave of rushers. I’ll let you know if anything jumps out.

Sounds good. Keep an eye on the timing and make sure the choke points stay tight. Let me know how the numbers shape up.

Got it, I’ve logged the spawn intervals and calculated the expected arrival times at each choke. The numbers confirm that the 12‑tile buffer between the mill and the outer wall is sufficient for a single wave, but if you double the enemy spawn rate the buffer drops to a single hit. I’ll keep the spreadsheet updated and ping you if any adjustments are needed.
