There`s no need to make them all primary bases but keep just one as main and the others as resource specific locations, for example to gather components only. The larger you extend the more benefits and difficulties you will gain. Since Alpha 16, you can have up to 5 colonies running at the same time (available in Options > Settings). For example you might build a wall between two large sections of rock, joining them into one larger barrier to enemies. Hybrid bases have some features of the two previous styles, mixing and matching according to the builder's needs and the natural features of the map.Settlement bases are multiple small buildings laid over a large area.Superstructure colonies are a type of open ground colony that features a large building with multiple small structures inside.However, you must plan to defend from any direction, and be very mindful of wildfires if using wooden walls. It also allows freedom in planning your colony out and expanding, as building walls around an area is many times faster than mining out the same space. The benefit of this is that they can be built anywhere, rather than requiring specific natural features to be built into.
