How to Increase Building Range and Area in Enshrouded

When playing Enshrouded, the basic idea is to gather resources, craft things, and fight off enemies that are seen as threats to the Shroud. However, the most important part of this game is to have a base building that allows players to survive. Without this building, it will be very difficult for players to retreat to a safe location after fighting off enemies, which makes it impossible to survive the game.

While this game is all about survival, there's a catch. You can't just go around building whatever you want wherever you like. There are limits to what you can do. And that's what gives the game an exciting angle.

In this article, you'll learn how to increase your build area and what you need to build.

Building in Enshrouded

Early in the game, you'll be introduced to something called the Flame Altar. This item is to help you build your base. Without it, you can not build anything no matter how hard you try. When you get this item, you have to place it in an area that is limited to 40x40x40 spaces. It's a fair space to begin with but as time goes by and you unlock more NPCs, the space will gradually increase.

You can also find more space by using the Flame Altar as well. Ultimately, the only way to increase your building range and area is to upgrade the Flame Altar using Shroud Cores. As you obtain more Shroud Cores and build more areas, you can do more work and have extra room for customization and experimentation in your building.

Since Shroud Cores are not lying around, waiting to be picked, you need to earn them. How do you earn these items? Let’s show you.

Getting Shroud Cores in Enshrouded

Shroud Cores are very valuable and cannot be gotten randomly. Instead, players have to do a difficult task to earn them. This task is not easy but when you complete it, you’ll be greatly rewarded.

The task involves defeating the bosses you find anywhere around the Enshrouded world. For every boss you defeat, a Shred Core will be dropped. When you collect these Cores, you have to head back to base and use them to expand your area and range as quickly as possible.

The more space you have, the easier it becomes to build shops and shelters for the NPCs that will eventually need your help when you rescue them. These NPCs are also useful to you. Some of them have special skills for your construction needs. Others have certain skills which you will need to play the game. This will help you to overcome the threat of the Shroud.

How To Build a Base in Enshrouded

Now that you know how to increase building range, you should also know how to construct buildings in Enshrouded. This will be the first prompt you’ll get when starting the game. So how do you do this?

First, you have to claim an area that will serve as your base. You can’t play Enshrouded without having an area to build your base. To do this, you have to put your Stone Altar in any location of your choosing. You’ll need five stones for this and the stones can be found anywhere on the map. The center of your base is now your Stone Latar with a little piece of land surrounding it.

After this is done, you need to acquire some basic tools like;

1. Axe: to get an axe, you need to craft one stone, one string, and four twigs together.
2. Pickaxe: requires the same items as the axe.
3. Construction Hammer: you need one stone to craft this.
4. Workbench: you need eight wood logs and three strings to make a workbench.
5. Plant Fiber Roof Block, Rough Stone Block, and Rough Wood Block
6. Blacksmith: the blacksmith is a character you need to rescue. You can find one near Braelyn Bridge. Blacksmiths help you to craft various things.

Once you have all these materials, you can start using them to make the floor, roof, and walls for the base. The shape will begin to take shape after a while, looking like a basic building. However, there are some items that you can get from the shop which helps you to build faster.

Head to Construction Mode to find materials like ready-made roofs, floors, and walls if you just want to wing it. If you’re a genius, you can place these items manually but know that it will take longer time to make your building erect than using ready-made items.

To add other kinds of elements like doors, windows, or decorations, you’ll have to create them by using your workbench.
