    Xeno builder's guide for Hivelords and Drones

    The best caste for doing this is the hivelord because their structures are reinforced ... unless you're making sticky resins everywhere, then it's the drone's specialty and you really shouldn't bother with it as a hivelord too much


    There are a couple way of doing this.

    The method I find MOST effective is called 'Compartmentalization', A.K.A 'Death Rooms' or 'Bulk-heads'.

    There is also the default method of 'Cover-to-Cover', which I find ... OK ... but I find it mediocre against robust / competent marines.


    I will cover how to do 'Compartmentalization', as Cover-to-Cover, A.K.A 2x2 bullet protections are already common-place and everyone knows how to do those.



    Compartmentalization:


    General:

    You're going to want to make sealed off compartments with 2 SETS of doors leading out ALL sides.
    This means your rooms will be around 9x9 to 11x11 in terms of actual internal space.
    What I mean by a 'set' of doors, is 2 resin doors next to each other, 1-3 walls, then the other 2 resin doors.

    The steps of compartmentalization are:
    1: Vision of what the compartment is going to look like
    2: Think of boiler positioning for membranes to be effective
    2: Make the walls, membranes, and doors
    3: Add sticky (usually for drones to add)
    4: BUILD OFF OF COMPARTMENTS TO MAKE MORE COMPARTMENTS.


    Human Structures, caves, and tight spaces:

    Large, or open areas:

    Is an Ambidexterous marine and xeno main.
