We don't have this epic plan where we know everything that's gonna happen.

So as Oscar, our game director, said in the PC Gamer interview, you will not have to defend your base.

And the main justification for this is, again, the map is huge and traversing it can take some time and you definitely don't want creatures destroying your base, your perfectly optimized base, while you're ages away and you're unable to come back and

defend it, basically.

So while you're exploring, you're going to be running into hostile creatures.

So let's not forget about that.

It's kind of dangerous out there.

And what about turrets to defend your base?

If you want turrets, play Sanctum too.
