A huge part of Origins Mod is base building which allows you to build houses, fences, gates and even a stronghold creating whole bases and villages for you, your friend or even your whole clan. Lets have a look at how to build basic structures such as fences first and then at more complex structures such as houses and the stronghold.

Fences

Fences are the key element of any base, they allow you to define your territory and keep zombies and others players out!

Wooden Fence

The wooden fence is a very simple and easy to build fence, you will need to have a hatchet

in your tool belt and 2 short planks

in your inventory to build it. Although easy to build it is easy to easy to destroy with a few gun shots and won't do much for you apart form keeping zombies out.

Right-click on the hatchet and select 'Wooden Fence'.

You will see either a red or green silhouette of the fence. The green silhouette means that you can build the fence on that spot, the red one means you can't. You can walk and look around to choose exactly where you want to build the fence. When you are ready to build press the space bar on your keyboard. To abort building just run away until the silhouette disappears.

After building a fence you can build another one beside it and so on...

Reinforced Wooden Fence

The reinforced wooden fence is also a very simple and easy to build fence but provides more protection against light bullets thanks to the reinforced metal sheets on it. You will need to have a hatchet

Dirt Fence

The dirt fence is more complex to build than the wooden fences, however it provides higher protection, it cannot be shot through or destroyed or run over by vehicles. It also features a hole that you can use to shoot out of.

To build a dirt fence you will need to have an adjustable wrench

in your inventory.

Then you need to find an excavator which will be used to construct the fence and other fences and gates that we will talk about after.

Place the excavator approximately in front of the place you want to build the fence and switch to the operators seat and then select 'Build dirt fence' from the action menu.

You will once again see a red/green silhouette of the fence, red meaning that you cannot build on that spot and green meaning that you can. Rotate the excavator and drive it to where you want the fence to be, just don't drive too far or the action will be cancelled. You can cancel the building action by selecting 'Cancel' form the action menu.
