Although much ofEnshroudedinvolves players gathering resources, crafting, and fighting against the threats of the Shroud, a base-building system rounds off thesurvival experience. After all, if there is no safe haven to retreat to at the end of a long day, it will make survival next to impossible.
That said, the world ofEmbervaleis not exactly open to players to build whatever they want and wherever they like, there are certain limits that must be taken into consideration. If you are seeking a way toincrease the base building area and rangeinEnshrouded, you are in the right place.

Expanding Build Area and Range in Enshrouded
First things first, the game will introduce players to the concept of theFlame Altarvery early on in the game. It is only through the construction of this structure that a base can be built in the first place. Upon placing it, the initial starting space for building is limited to 40x40x40 spaces. It is a fairly large area for a start, but as players unlock more NPCs and, subsequently, more recipes, space will soon become a premium.
It is thus imperative that more space is found, and that can be done via the Flame Altar as well. The only way in the game to increase building area and range is toupgrade the Flame Altar using Shroud Cores. Each level gained by the altar willexpand the build areathat players can work with and leave more room forexperimentation and customization.

Getting Shroud Cores in Enshrouded
A valuable resource like Shroud Cores is not going to be lying around, just waiting to be picked up. Instead, to get their hands on this vital upgrade material, players will have todefeat the many bossesthat can be found around the world. Each vanquished boss will drop a Shroud Core, so be sure to always head back to base and expand the build area and range whenever possible.
With more space to work with, it will become easier to construct proper shelters and shops for the various NPCs that the player will eventually rescue, paving the way to overcome thethreat of the Shroud.
