How to Build a Base in Enshrouded

Since making a base is important, you'll be prompted to do it right from the beginning of the game. You will have to claim an area where you will build your base. You can claim the area by putting your stone altar in a place of your choice. It can be made using five stones, which can be found pretty easily throughout the game world. The stone altar will then serve as the center of your base, with a decent sprawl of land all around it.

After setting up the altar, you will need a few tools to get your base going:

  • Axe: Can be crafted with 1 Stone, 1 String, and 4 Twigs
  • Pickaxe: 1 Stone, 1 String, and 4 Twigs
  • Construction Hammer: 1 Stone
  • A Workbench: 8 Woods Logs and 3 Strings
  • Plant Fiber Roof Block, Rough Stone Block, and Rough Wood Block
  • Blacksmith

Just like the Alchemist, the Blacksmith also needs to be rescued. They can be found near Braelyn Bridge and can help you craft various items.

After gathering the required materials, you can use these building materials to create the roof, floor, and walls of your base. As you put these together, your base will start to take shape and look like a basic building.

In the Construction Mode, you'll find ready-made roofs, floors, and walls. However, if you have a specific layout in mind, you can leave Construction Mode and manually place the materials as you wish. Keep in mind though that this method will take considerably longer, and it isn’t as easy as using the pre-made structures.

To add any elements to your base, you'll need to craft them at the workbench. Whether it's windows, doors, or anything else, you'll have to create them on the bench and then place them in your base wherever you want.
