Base Building

Base building is one of the key elements of Cannibal Crossing. In order to begin building, press "Tab" on your keyboard. When opened a grid will appear across the ground, showing you where you can build. Certain buildings take up certain amounts of space to build (2x3, 2x2, etc). Note houses and locations have much less space to build that the outside world.

There are four different building tabs: Tools, Defense, Attack, and Others.


 * "Tools" provides services depending on what you craft. Each one takes in a certain item (such as metal or scrap) and                                                                      turns it into something else (such as bullets or more metal). Tools can also be upgraded using more materials.
 * "Defense" provides you with means to protect yourself and your built tools and such. Some of the things built from                                                                          this tab require power to function, which you get from crafting a large (or small) generator.
 * "Attack" provides a multitude of turrets that attack any enemies within their radius of attack. Some of the things built from                                                                           this tab require power to function, which you get from crafting a large (or Aux) generator.
 * "Others" provides a wide variety of things that overall help the player survive (such as storage and a place to trash items).

You can unlock more options for Defense and Attack by crafting a Bait Station, and then upgrading said Bait Station for even more options.

In order to build of these, you will need a certain amount of crafting materials, depending on what you are building. These

materials are Wood, Cloth, Scrap, and Metal.

You can build either inside buildings or outside locations, providing there is enough space for what you are trying to build. Note some locations have more space to build than others, and some you can't build in at all. You can also make room in locations and houses to build on by destroying the furniture of the location.
