¶ Raiding
In H1EMU, raiding closely resembles the original raiding system from Just Survive. It involves attacking another player's base or structure to loot their resources and supplies. While the core mechanics of PvP and strategic planning remain intact, several adjustments have been made to improve gameplay balance and provide a more engaging experience.
¶ Raycasting
"Raycasting" was recently implemented, providing an additional layer of protection for gates. It allows gates to be somewhat shielded by Large Shelters, similar to how it worked in the original Just Survive. However, this protection is not absolute:
- Shelters take 30% damage when providing protection.
- Large Shelter with Protection:
- 100 IEDs / 267 Ethanol / 300 Biofuel
This mechanic encourages strategic base design, as positioning gates behind Large Shelters can significantly reduce their vulnerability.
¶ How Raycasting Works
For those wondering how Raycasting functions, here’s a simple explanation:
When an explosion occurs, the server "casts rays" from the explosion point outward in all directions. If an object is blocked or covered by another object, the rays cannot reach it, meaning it won't take damage.
Below is an illustration of how Raycasting operates:

| In this example, rays from the explosion are blocked by the object in front. As a result, the covered object behind it is protected from damage. This mechanic ensures strategic placement of base defenses for optimal protection. |
¶ Raid Timer
To improve gameplay balance during base raids, a raid timer was introduced. This system functions as follows:
- When players raid a base and destroy any part of it, the base enters a "raid timer" state.
- During this state, defenders cannot place new structures for 30 seconds, discouraging exploitative building tactics.
- The repair hammer is also affected, imposing the same 30-second cooldown, preventing repairs during an active raid.
This addition enhances the fairness of raiding mechanics, ensuring both attackers and defenders have balanced opportunities to engage effectively.
¶ Damage Chart
The following table shows the amount of explosives or resources required to destroy various structures.
| Structure | IEDs | Ethanol | Biofuel | Explosive Arrows |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shack / Shelter / Wall / Gate | 30 | 80 | ~90 | ~352 |
| Metal Door | 15 | 40 | ~45 | ~177 |
| Wooden Door | 8 | 20 | ~23 | ~89-93 |
| Basic Shack | 8 | 20 | ~23 | ~? |
| Basic Shack Door | 5 | 12 | ~13 | ~74-80 |
