Building a powerful base in Conan Exiles requires a balance of defense, utility, and aesthetics. This guide focuses on constructing a versatile "Outpost" style base, similar to those featured in community build projects. Core Essentials for an Outpost
A functional outpost serves as a satellite base for resource gathering or thrall hunting. When preparing your materials, ensure you have at least one stack of the following:
: Incorporate Archer Posts into your design. These dedicated structures allow your archers to engage enemies from a greater distance than those just standing on walls.
: If you are playing on a server with "POI protection" active, avoid building too close to Points of Interest to prevent your structure from being automatically removed during server updates. Enhancing Your Build Style
: Use elevators to navigate mountain bases or multi-level cities efficiently.
: A Carpenter’s Bench, Blacksmith Bench, Artisan Table, and a Wheel of Pain for thrall processing. Strategic Placement and Defense
: Items from DLCs like the Imperial East Pack add Khitan-themed building pieces and placeables to refine your base's visual appeal. Conan Exiles: How To THINK Like A Builder | Raw Builds Ep.1
: The bedrock of your structure. Using foundations is recommended for aligning complex buildings later. Walls and Window Frames : To secure your interior.
