Spawning Your First Bodyguards
Use bodyguard spawn eggs to place units around your base. Each spawn egg creates a soldier at the tier you select—higher tiers arrive with better firearms and armor. Place multiple bodyguards around entry points and vulnerable areas.
Configuring Guard Mode
Shift + Right-Click each bodyguard to toggle between Follow and Guard modes. In Guard mode, they stay in place and attack hostile mobs and enemy soldiers that approach. This is ideal for stationary base defense.
Open each bodyguard's inventory by Right-Clicking them to customize their active weapon and spare ammunition. Equip them with firearms that suit your base's threat level—desert soldiers may need different loadouts than winter threats.
Protecting Your Territory
Use a 
Zone Marker to claim private territory around your base. This blocks explosions, fire spread, and hazard damage from both hostile soldiers and environmental threats. Place markers strategically to cover your most valuable structures and storage areas.
Rotate between Follow and Guard modes as needed: use Follow to move bodyguards to new positions, then switch back to Guard when they're in place.
