The Caltrop is a small group (5–8) Rust base design in the Tea Time base library, built from 1,439 building entities — multi-tc. Measured from the blueprint: 8 storeys, compound. Materials run about 85k wood, 96k stone, 94k metal frags, 1.2k HQM. A base this size fits the Twig plot (3,000 entities). Study the foundation footprint below, then connect to The Greenhouse — Tea Time's free creative build server — and rebuild it yourself with unlimited resources, free plots and no wipes.
