So, you possess a base and you have neighboring players, and you have valuable loot that you have worked hard to acquire. Naturally, you wouldn't want your hard-earned loot to be taken away, right? Well, you have come to the perfect place! In order to ensure that your loot remains safe, it is crucial to have allies who are in close proximity to your base(s) and who will come to your aid if someone attempts to raid you. However, in order to establish these allies, you need to make friends!

The key to making friends is to be friendly yourself. Therefore, consider offering your neighbors gifts such as sulfur and HQ, or anything else that you believe would be appreciated. Following this, engage in conversation with them. Communication will help foster a stronger relationship between you and your neighbors. Congratulations, you have successfully made a new friend! Oh, wait! Are there more people residing near your base? Well, in that case, you will need to make friends with them as well! Here is a simple way to remember what to do:

G - Give gifts
T - Talk

Now, let's discuss one more aspect regarding neighbors. If there happen to be one or two individuals who refuse to listen to you and instead choose to attack you despite your friendly gestures, it would be wise to find others who are facing the same issue and collectively raid them. Once you have eliminated these troublemakers from the area, you will have created a safe neighborhood where you can peacefully farm!

Once you have established friendships, inquire if anyone would be willing to counter-raid in the event that someone tries to raid your base. If you have strong bonds with your friends, they will likely agree to help you most of the time. If they do counter-raid, be sure to reward them with some of the gear obtained from the raiders. It is important to maintain a positive atmosphere in the area, so consider hosting a BBQ or a similar event to keep everyone's spirits high.

Congratulations! You now possess the knowledge to safeguard your base from raids!
