Placement of non-defensive buildings is important because the energy an attacker gets from destroying them can win or lose the attack. In any base design, you want as many defenses as possible to be protecting your extra buildings. Each base design has its own way of protecting them, and you can adjust their placement to fit your base's strategy as much as possible. With economy and support buildings, it is okay to have some of them touching because it is not typically worthwhile to use a or to destroy two non-defensive buildings purely for the energy. Do not, however, place the buildings where four touch on one spot because this is usually worth it to destroy them for energy.. Looking for Prototype Defenses? Click here.
