Currently, totems help players claim a plot of land to build on and can prevent your base from decaying if you keep them filled with resources.
We added tiered totems and totem shields this month to make them more useful if you’re willing to spend the resources.
There are now 6 different tiers of totems that players can build inside their base. They get tougher as you upgrade them and provide buffs to construction pieces around them.
Totem shields create an invisible force that attackers have to wear down before they can access or damage your totem making it even harder for someone to take over your base if you have them installed.
