Christmas 13x13 Defense Base
A 1,913-structure 13x13 defensive base in metal and Tek with a seasonal exterior theme. The 13x13 footprint is the practical part: an odd-numbered square gives you a true centre tile for the vault core and symmetrical turret coverage on all four faces. Requires Bob's Tall Tales. At nearly 2,000 structures it will use most of a tile's allowance on official PvP settings.
Anti-Tank Snap Pack
Three metal snapping variants - 29 structures across the set, 11 at the largest - for placing anti-tank obstacles in repeatable defensive patterns. They are alternatives, not parts: pick the one that snaps to the approach you are blocking. Repeatability is the value, since hand-placing obstacles at a consistent spacing is exactly what goes wrong under time pressure. Fully vanilla.
Underwater Turret Platform
A 1,684-structure underwater PvP platform shipped in two parts: the submerged base and the tower that snaps on top of it. Sixty-four Tek turrets sit in the design, and the bulk of the piece count is doubledoorframe and doorframe layering — the standard way of stacking hitboxes on a structure that cannot be approached on foot. Build your vacuum chambers to the height you want first, snap the base to the lowest one, then remove the chambers running to the seabed.
92-Turret Heavy & Tek Tower
A 173-structure turret tower packing 92 Heavy Auto Turrets and Tek Turrets into a single metal-and-Tek footprint, built for PvP offline-protection windows. Mixing the two tiers matters under a soak: they draw different ammunition, so a raider who brought only one counter still has the other tier firing. Fully vanilla - no DLC and no mods.
