How to Build a Secret CIWS Setup

1. Choose Your Build Method

You can build your setup using one of two clean configurations:

• The Indirect Fire Shelter & Bunker Method: Place an indirect fire shelter and a bunker right next to each other. Leave the Hesco barriers inside the indirect shelter intact—this makes the process much easier.

• The Three-Bunker Method: A more compact and tiny alternative that gives you a full 360-degree layout, though it requires precise placement.

2. Positioning the CIWS Control Panel

• Place a hedgehog or Hesco barrier down to help with alignment.

• Position the CIWS with the control panel facing toward you, sitting slightly over the midline between the structures.

• Place a second bunker on top in the correct order.

• While building, make sure you are lowered, looking slightly left of the box/panel, and pointing toward the upper-left side rather than staring straight at the roof.

3. Troubleshooting "Can't Place on Surface" Errors

If you run into placement errors, try these fixes:

• Add Room: Place Hesco barriers on the side of the structure to give the area more breathing room before attempting placement again.

• Adjust Alignment: Move the CIWS slightly further down over the midline.

• The "Northwest" Trick: If all else fails, try orienting your build facing northwest (around 300 degrees), which helps bypass placement glitches.
