Fortifications Guide
Fortifications
Fortifications help you defend against both zombies and players. Each fortification type has unique pros and cons—choose wisely depending on your needs for durability, visibility, and material efficiency.
For example, a full window of reinforced planks gives maximum HP but no vision and uses more materials. Sheet metal lets you shoot out, but offers less HP.
