Yeah, not much can be done to prevent a thief from drinking tea as far as I know, so I offer a variety of suggestions focusing on the "not worth the effort" part, did you have a specific suggestion on the tea part? So far I haven't done a lot of tea + plus raiding an entire claim, I kind of like to leave stuff so if the person comes back they don't up and quit, but I know not every thief will do the same. I'll play around with tea more and see if I can come up with anything.

Thanks, I don't own springs so I'll change that.

I'll fix that too, Meow sent me a message saying, "That's a helpful post, but you're awful about typos," except a whole lot nicer!

Yes and no. Certian objects have bounding boxes that don't let them be built next to other objects for the reason devs simply don't want you to make a wall with them. It's also not so great because you can't get at it to refuel or raise its purity. A wall around it with a gate is your best bet, a dedicated raider can get at it, but it will deter a lot of amateurs, which unless you are calling people out on the forums, are going to be the majority of people that will bother you.

This is more of a mid level question, this guide is aimed at noobs, but I'd suggest a wall with a locking gate too. You can alway build more than one gate as well. When a player is this deep into your base, your only hope is to delay them long enough that your braziers and torches can get enough critical hits to drop them or make them turn back. If I was to make a suggestion I'd say build another wall or two, and build a bunch more braziers and get their purity way up
