Setups
Starters that survive two nights, loot you spread, and raids you can actually finish.

Woods and Roads · First 30–90 minutes
First 2x1
2x1, airlock, stone, two bags. Cute castles come after the cupboard has upkeep.
Best for: Wipes that start with a mansion sketch and end on twig

Any base · Until the next expansion
Airlock and Honeycomb
No airlock means people walk in behind you for the rest of the wipe. Honeycomb is the raid tax.
Best for: Bases people walk into behind you all wipe

Harbor · One card run
Harbor Loop
Green card, clear, swipe, loot, leave. Recycle at Outpost if Harbor is a war.
Best for: People who only know Launch Site from YouTube

Oil Rig · Crate timer plus exit
Oil Extract
Land, clear, hack when you can hold, boat out. The water is the third-party highway.
Best for: Solos who boat in with one kit and no shore bag

Your base · Every time you come home
Spread Loot
Expect to get raided. One box should not be the wipe. Spread sulfur, comps, and kits.
Best for: Everyone who put all sulfur next to the TC

Target base · Until boom or extract
Raid You Can Finish
Count the sulfur. Pick a weak side. Extract. Logging off at 4am with boom on the roof is how you get raided back.
Best for: Forty rockets into honeycomb and a walk home
