I suggest some kind of automated defenses or npc gaurds.
use the advanced_guards mod for that:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17834
there are mesecons, i just put barriers in front, with layered walls, and a "suicide" lever that floods my base in lava... ive yet to lose a flag, and played since nearly the beginning
layers:
w=wood tile l=lava s=stone d=whatever i want my base too look like on the inside
P=piston W=wall9not necessarily a layered wall) B=barrier
layer1: ||||| entrance (aerial view):
SLWD ||||| PWBBWP
SLWD ||||| PWBBWP
SLWD ||||| PWBBWP
this allows for any building to look however you want
note:ive found that the most effective base locations are in mountains, and your 1st defence is not telling people where you are
also note i have other defences, so if you are planning on raiding me, ive still got surprises in store for you ;)
tip:in absence of lava, use barriers, they are not as effective, but will do in a pinch... also alot of iron :/
