I found an nice little peninsula while I was scouting for a good boat launch and decided to turn it into an impenetrable(?) super fortress.

Using mostly the land, we'll shape the area into a highly defensible base, safe from Forest and Swamp invasions - as well as an area so hostile that random enemies don't even come near you.

Note: This is a before and after video, not a full blown "how to" - but I'll discuss all the aspects of the construction, using isolated before and after clips to clearly show the altering to the landscape to get the desired effect.

As a complete bonus, a Swamp invasion happened while recording and you can see the effectiveness (mostly) and fruits of my labor.

Enjoy!

As a bonus note, I did not shoot the "before" video at the time - since I had no idea I was going to do this weeks ago when I built it. Reusing my main world's "seed" I was able to start a new world and managed to find the same spot. :D
