When it comes to base building in Enshrouded, there are a few facets (and tools) that you need to remember:
- The Flame Altar acts as the central point of your base, which means you can build structures within its borders/radius. This structure can also be upgraded and strengthened. You can learn more in our Flame Altar guide.
- You’ll want to craft the following tools:
- Construction Hammer – Requires 1x Stone; lets you place large objects.
- Workbench – Requires 3x String and 8x Wood Logs; lets you craft blocks and furniture; instantly repairs items.
- Rough Stone Block, Rough Wood Block, and Plant Fiber Roof Block – Each stack (100x blocks) requires 2x Stone, 2x Wood, and 5x Plant Fiber, respectively. These materials are used when constructing base and building foundations.
- Axe – Requires 4x Twigs, 1x Stone, and 1x String; speeds up and increases yields when chopping down trees.
- Pickaxe – Requires 4x Twigs, 1x Stone, and 1x String; has a small radius that lets you smash stone and dig for dirt.
