Introduction

In this video, I will be showcasing three different stacking techniques that have proven to be effective even after the recent update. Stacking has always been a key element of my channel, and I believe it is important to demonstrate that these techniques still work and provide insights into their execution. Each method has its own advantages and preferences, so I will Delve into the details and highlight why certain techniques may be preferred over others.

The Importance of Stacking Techniques in the Channel

Since the foundation of my channel, stacking techniques have played a vital role. They not only enhance the overall visual appeal of the structures but also contribute to their strength and durability. Stacking allows for efficient use of limited space and can provide unique defensive advantages in certain scenarios. By showcasing these techniques, I aim to inspire and educate my viewers on their potential benefits.

Example 1: Using Gate Frames and Foundations

One of the most common and straightforward methods of stacking involves the use of gate frames and foundations. This technique offers simplicity and ease of execution. By utilizing the Yamatai fence foundations, the stacking process becomes even more streamlined. With just a single gate frame and properly placed foundations, a solid stack can be achieved.

Pros of Example 1:

• Ease of execution
• Requires minimal resources
• Foundation cleanup is straightforward
• Can be applied in various locations

Cons of Example 1:

• Not as tightly stacked as other methods
• Limited flexibility in door placement

Example 2: Mathematics and Rust Techniques

For those seeking the tightest possible stacking, a more elaborate technique involving mathematics and Rust's build mechanics can be employed. This method requires precise placement of regular foundations, followed by the strategic use of wedges. The build hammer simplifies the process, making it less time-consuming.

Pros of Example 2:

• Provides the closest stacking possible
• Allows for even stacking on uneven terrain
• High degree of control over the placement

Cons of Example 2:

• Time-consuming and tedious process
• Limited flexibility in door placement

Example 3: Stacking with Foundations and Wedges

If You require stacking that is slightly more versatile and forgiving, example 3 offers a viable solution. By bringing out foundations four times and using wedges to bring them back, a solid stack can be achieved. This method is suitable for locations where perfect alignment is not necessary or when diagonal door placement is desired.

Pros of Example 3:

• Provides a balanced combination of stack tightness and flexibility
• Allows for diagonal door placement
• Suitable for locations with uneven terrain

Cons of Example 3:

• Requires more resources compared to other techniques
• Door placement may pose challenges in tight spaces

Comparison and Analysis of the Three Stacking Methods

Each of the three stacking methods serves a different purpose and caters to specific requirements. Example 1 offers simplicity and practicality, but sacrifices some tightness in the stack. Example 2 provides the closest stacking possible, but is time-consuming and requires precise calculations. Example 3 strikes a balance between flexibility and tightness, making it a versatile choice.

When choosing the most suitable stacking technique, it is essential to consider the specific needs of your base and the resources available to you. Experimentation and adaptation are key to finding the method that best fits your playstyle.

Using Yamatai and Other Building Materials for Stacking

In my experience, I have found that utilizing Yamatai fence foundations offers several advantages in stacking. Their small size allows for easier visualization and placement accuracy. However, other building materials, such as black ice or reinforced stone, can also be used effectively depending on personal preference and aesthetics.

Advantages of using Yamatai:

• Enhanced visual precision during the stacking process
• Ease of alignment and placement due to smaller size

Other Building Materials for Stacking:

• Black ice: Offers larger surface area for more intricate stacking
• Reinforced stone: Provides greater stability in certain environments

Addressing Funcom's Stance on Stacking Techniques

It is important to acknowledge Funcom's position on stacking techniques. While they consider it an exploit, they have not taken measures to address it in their building mechanics. This ambiguity puts players in a difficult position, as many Continue to use stacking techniques despite the potential risks. Ultimately, the decision to use these techniques on official servers lies with the player and their discretion.

The Effectiveness of Stacking in Base Defense

When used intelligently, stacking techniques can significantly bolster base defenses. The compact nature of stacked structures makes them harder to breach and provides additional layers of defense against raids. Properly executed stacking can Create complex pathways for raiders, making infiltration challenging. However, it is crucial to note that clever raiders can still exploit vulnerabilities, so stacking should be used as part of a comprehensive defense strategy.

Conclusion

Stacking techniques remain a popular choice for Conan Exiles players, offering a range of benefits in terms of visual appeal, optimization of space, and defensive capabilities. By showcasing three different stacking methods, I hope to have provided valuable insights and inspiration for your own base-building endeavors. Remember to consider the specific pros and cons of each technique, evaluate their suitability to your playstyle and base requirements, and always exercise discretion and adaptability.
