A closer look

Why fight an honorable open-field battle when you can invite the local cannibal warlords into a claustrophobic hallway of pure agony? This is the art of the 'Killbox.' Sandbox survival AI prioritizes the path of least resistance to your valuable loot. If you build massive, impenetrable stone walls around your colony but leave exactly one flimsy wooden door propped wide open at the end of a twisting, trap-filled corridor, the AI completely ignores the walls. Entire armies will politely single-file march into a maze of automated turrets and landmines just to save pathing time.
