Using Tube Coral Wall Fans in Trails and Tales base defense
Trails and Tales invites bold builds and clever layouts that blend aesthetics with practical defense ideas. The Tube Coral Wall Fan is a wall mounted coral block that fits neatly into underwater and flooded base themes. It faces one of four directions and can be waterlogged, remains non luminous, and does not block movement in the same way a solid wall would. This makes it a versatile decorative element for corridors and perimeter defenses while keeping paths clear for your crew to move freely.
Block anatomy and states
In the data you noted the block is transparent and carries a light filter value. It supports two important states to work with: facing north south west or east and waterlogged for water connected builds. It has zero hardness and zero resistance which means it is easy to replace during redesigns. The block does not drop items when broken, so it keeps your resource balance friendly while you experiment with layouts.
When you plan your defenses think about placement orientation. A row of wall fans aligned along a corridor can visually extend the length of a passage and guide mobs along a designed path rather than simply blocking it hard.
Why it matters for base defense
Even though the Tube Coral Wall Fan is light and non solid it helps set a defensive mood and lets you craft a marine inspired space. In flooded or underwater style bases these fans blend with water features while offering a non obstructive boundary that informs mob approaches. Pair them with glass panes sea lanterns or blue stained glass to craft a luminous yet serene defense aesthetic. 🧱
Practical building tips
Place fans on walls at chest height around key entrances. Use them in mirrored patterns on opposite walls to preserve symmetry. Mix in other coral blocks along with glow items to create a convincing marine defense vibe that feels alive without getting in the way of your team. For underwater bases consider running fans along the outer ring to evoke ventilation while maintaining the flow of water around your base.
Techniques and tricks for builders
The waterlogged option allows you to weave water features into your base without losing the fan look. The fans themselves do not provide lighting so you will still want lanterns sea lanterns or glow berries to brighten the space. Layer fans with banners or signs to create waypoints for visitors and you can even hide a small storage nook behind a fan row with a hidden door setup.
