If your new to the game this is actually very good to build your base out of

For 100 of these it's around 8000 wood 6000 thatch and like 1500 fiber

Pretty good starter buiding to use for bases. a majority of starter animals cant break them witch is good for hiding in your base if you have a visitor. Wood. Structures also look good in Asa. Although beware that bigger dinos such as carnos, allos, rexes. Etc . Can break wooden structures so be carefull if you live next to those and plan to make a base outta stone (this tip includes other wooden structures)

Story time part : once I was finishing a starter base made outta wood than I was gathering stone to make refining forge when I agrod a pack of raptors and accidently hit a trike. So I ran to my Lil base and luckily trikes can't damage wood but the raptors started attacking the trike but I bolad the raptors and shot the trike with my bow. Trike died and I knocked out the raptors with 2 clubs. I tamed the raptors up and Lvled them up a lot. After that sarco came and attacked me but once again I ran to my Lil wood house and shot tranqs at him. He fell asleep so I killed a Saber tooth salmon and used a sickle to get prime fish meat. Tamed the sarco up and now I have | Big croc ( sarco ) voltage (1st raptor) violet ( Female 2nd raptor ) and Scar Scar ( 2nd female 3rd raptor )

DO NOT use wood to build your base in scorched earth. You will be boiled inside.
