For the fun of it. I know it doesn't seem very fun to store items and then get raided, but you need to build your bases in locations people don't usually visit. Usually I don't store any loot in my base, I just use it as a means to get back to Alberton. If you do want to store loot then I would recommend either building an underwater base, building in a discreet location, or building a sky base (that abides by the global rules.)
I actually created a Steam discussion about this. Base building is rather obsolete at this point. Raiding has become way too easy. I don't even bother building bases anymore. And honestly, base building is one of my favorite parts of the game. Kind of sad to see it go unloved ...
We have 9 baby ducks and a cat. Four ducklings died from starvation and had to be rushed to the hospital, but survived after eating an extremely large number of cookies. To this day, Pandahut has been the leading cause of wiggling.
