Pillbox

Description

 * Pillboxes will defend the buildings they are near, and will fight in combat for you. They are small and cozy, if you like that whole bristling with a wide variety of machine-gunnery feel.

Benefit

 * The Pillbox is a cheap, armored defence that can defend against raider, critter or player invasions. This protection is represented by a light-blue template which appears when you move or place the Pillbox. Once defeated in battle, it is down for repairs and will not function unless you actively repair it. However, it is costless to repair.


 * After patch 1.3, the Pillbox will defend against Raiders, Silver Wolves, or wild animals. It will take part in such battles within its defensive range.


 * The presence of a new quest "The War at Home" requires you to defend 80% of your outpost's buildings. The cheap nature of Pillboxes mean you can do this quest in no time at all if you are in a rush.


 * Note: Pillboxes and other defensive structures will not appear to defend against occupational forces if they are moved or built to defend against a pre-existing occupation.

Fun Fact
Real pillboxes are actually just basically sandbags surrounding a machine gun team.
