Taming.io Base Building: Walls, Spikes, Turrets and Limits

A base in Taming.io is a set of buildings you place on the map. Every building has a placement limit, an upgrade path and a cost in wood, stone or gold. Knowing those limits helps you decide what to protect and how.

Placement limits

These are the most each player can place at once, as listed on the official Taming.io wiki:

Building	Limit	What it does
Walls	50	Block players and animals
Doors	8	Open for you, your team and your pets
Spikes	15	Damage anything that touches them
Big spikes	12 (15 at sapphire)	Less damage, more health, bigger area
Windmills	5	Make gold on their own
Bear traps	4	Damage and knock out whatever steps on them
Turrets	2	Shoot at nearby enemies
Towers	1	Shoot magic projectiles such as fire or ice
Heal pad	1	Heals whatever stands on it

What unlocks when

• Age 0: wooden walls, windmills and spikes are available from the start.
• Age 2: stone walls can be picked, but the same age also offers the Cookie, so choosing walls means giving up that food.
• Age 3: stone windmills, spike upgrades, big spikes and turrets.

Each building then upgrades through stone, gold, ruby, amethyst and sapphire versions, and each step adds durability. A wooden wall has 400 durability and a sapphire wall 1,400.

Buildings outlast you

Buildings stay on the map after you die. You can upgrade windmills in one life, die, pick walls in the next and still own the windmills, though they still count toward your limits. If a building is broken, the player who broke it gets back 50% of the resources it cost to place.

How each defence works

• Spikes damage players and animals on every tick of contact, but not buildings. Each upgrade adds 1 damage per tick. The wiki suggests ringing your walls and doors with spikes so raiders cannot stand next to them and break them.
• Big spikes trade damage for durability and size. They work better against groups of animals and for blocking large bases than in player fights.
• Turrets fire over your own walls, so put them behind a wall line. Their steady fire drains an attacker’s food. Most boss ranged attacks destroy them in one hit.
• Doors let you and your pets through while blocking others, and work well paired with spikes and bear traps at the entrance.

Windmills and raiders

Windmills make gold for their owner on a timer, and upgrades make them faster or make more gold per cycle. The Windmill Hat adds 25% to their output. Because gold is your score, other players hunt windmills to break them. The wiki advises spreading them out or placing them at the edge of the map, and having walls and a plan for raiders if you build a long-term base.
