Vanilla Base Raiding Balance

[EzyStriderPS4 191]

I made a base in a castle. I built 6 gates for protection, one in front of the other, and nothing else. I figured most players wouldn't have the patience to wait it out while raiding. It only takes 10 to 12 minutes to break in with a couple axes and a sharpening stone.  

Assessment:

To build one complete gate: less than 60 seconds when all supplies are on hand.

To destroy one section of gate: approximately 56-60 seconds.

+ In order to get under the lower section and to the other side, both the framing and the outer wall must be destroyed, which equals 2 "sections," so that would be just less than 2 minutes of raiding to breach 1 gate.

How long did it take me to find nails and tools, saw planks, haul 4 barrels, craft two crates, and establish a small food/water stash just to have more freedom in actually playing instead of surviving? About 18 to 24 times the length of time it took to break in and ruin everything I created; and the crew was nice enough to despawn most items in storage except a fireplace.

I'm not salty, I enjoy every minute of this game. Could it be more balanced? Yes.

Conclusion: increase the current time to destroy one section of wall or gate by a factor of 2-4. Please.

Base building is currently massively unbalanced. They already mentioned that an overhaul on base building is coming. Hopefully that will make it a worthwhile feature.
