I know the artifact problem but i can give it if someone ask for it Structures in caves take 6X damage on Official servers, if I recall correctly. They won't need to ask, they will just blow open a path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnywhereButTheFace Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Lots of nasty creatures, sometimes really adverse living conditions, as well as more of a challenge hauling goods from farming, no greenhouse effect just to name some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyB Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 People won't want to ask you every time they need an artefact for a boss fight, unless you are strong enough to hold it, building in caves is a good way to get you spotted and wiped, If your strong enough to hold it, it can be a very strong base position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I don't know if you play official or not but for the most part on officials you cant fly in caves. So you would have to keep your flying mounts at an alternate location.

BobRoss Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 logistically its a nightmare to get resources in and out, especially the common ones like wood etc. also storing dinos is practically impossible so you would need a backup base on the ground. that on top of the 6x damage mumtiplier is most of the times enough to stop people from building there, especially solo players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpcab Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Its done. .but what i want to know is what other players already have experienced..and what advises could you give me to defend a cave.maybe there are here players that already have done it Thanks..

rawsh Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 additional problem is: currently many caves "allow" to bug inside the walls surrounding the cave, resulting in people popping up INSIDE your perimeter/behind your defense, not sure wich caves currently DONT have this problem, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oScottieHo Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Building in caves is great,we have built in nearly every cave on one of our center servers. Yes its x6 damage but they are so easy to defend,overkill with plant x and turrets,create a bottleneck for enemy tames etc. The only problem ive found is if you only have one way in then your enemy can place turrets outside the entrance keeping you inside,we done this and it works wonders,gas runs out and tames run out of food lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unseen Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 caves are really weak for the best part dont build in them end of story its pretty easy to wipe caves and hard to defend them unless you can get your defenses of the ground its not worth the effort....
