In Boom Beach, mines are a very important element of defense, which should not be neglected. In total, three types of mines are available in the game: explosive, shock and simple mines. I will not describe the characteristics of each species, as they can be viewed in the "Wikipedia" section. In this post, I will share my experience and observations regarding their installation.
As I wrote above, there is no need to neglect the mines, since it often happens that thanks to them it is possible to repel an enemy attack on your own island. And I'm sure that for every more or less experienced player there were cases when the attack failed, as part of the troops were blown up by secretly installed mines (especially true for "zoukovods").

Immediately I would like to note two common mistakes that players make when placing mines:

1. All mines are densely laid along coastline(in several rows). This is an extremely unfortunate option for placing mines, since they are all in plain sight and it is very easy to make a “corridor” for troops with the help of gunboats or gunboat artillery.
2. All mines are installed in a tight ring around the headquarters, in order to protect against warriors. This is also not a good option, since in almost 100% of cases they are also destroyed from the horse-drawn boat before the troops land.

I have been playing Boom Beach for about three years now, and I can say with full confidence that The greatest effect of mines can be achieved if they are evenly distributed throughout the base. You can, of course, concentrate them a little more on the most vulnerable section of the defense, and thereby compensate for the lack of defensive structures in that place ... but only A bit more. The main argument in favor of such an arrangement is that in the event of a “scatter” of mines throughout the territory of the base, it will be more difficult to destroy them from a gunboat, and a certain number of mines will still work.
It is also very important to correctly hide the mines using the contours of the available buildings. Yes, on maximum level games, there are 8 structures behind which you can perfectly hide mines, and they will be practically invisible to the enemy. A mine is hidden behind each of the buildings in the picture below:

Not bad, isn't it? But here it is important not to overdo it, because if, when inspecting your island before attacking, the opponent sees few mines, this will arouse suspicion and make you peer more carefully. I hide no more than 8-10 minutes (this is 25-35% of all available at my level).

Also, paired mines do not behave badly (when two or even three mines are installed together). In this case, they are more effective (if they work), especially against bazookas and shooters, which can be completely destroyed ... But the coverage area in this case is significantly reduced. Below is an example of a base where the player has placed twin mines.

And finally, a short video showing how you can hide mines using the outlines of buildings.

I hope this material is useful to you and will help improve your gaming skills. Good luck!

In a burglary, time is the attacker's most valuable resource. It can be significantly limited by connecting the apartment to the 24-hour security console and putting valuables in a burglary-resistant safe. The arrival time of an armed detachment is 5-20 minutes, and the task of the safe is to hold out against the burglar during this time. You can further complicate the task of the thief if you make him spend extra time searching for the safe. Let's see how to do it.

Why the safe should be hidden:

1 - a well-hidden safe will not be seen by strangers. And the less people know about the fact that you keep something valuable at home, the lower the risk of burglary on a tip.
2 - in case of burglary, thieves will find the safe. Yes, you don’t need to be delusional - after all, a safe is not a hiding place. But the search for a well-hidden safe will take some time, then it has yet to be cracked, preferably without too much noise and before the guards arrive.

✍ They write on the forum: The safe is usually made of black metal. He is a ferromagnet. To detect a massive piece of a ferromagnet, modern devices allow with enough long distance. But you still need to hide. Search is a waste of time. And the war is only for him. You can find and open any safe. It is important that they search longer and open longer.

How to hide a built-in safe.

Thanks to detectives and spy thrillers, we are well aware that such safes are hidden behind paintings or mirrors. But using these hackneyed solutions is not the best idea: firstly, thieves also watch movies, and secondly, it will be inconvenient for you to open such a safe yourself. However, if you really want to try on the role of your favorite movie character, then why not.

The picture slides back along the guides, opening access to the safe in the wall.

First you need to decide on the room for installing the safe - it must be impenetrable. , Personal Area, basement or attic - quite suitable. But the hallway and living room in this sense are not the best options. The bathroom is not the best place either - high humidity can damage not only the lock, but also the contents of the safe itself.

Next, you need to think about how exactly to hide the safe. In the dressing room, it can be curtained with clothes on a coat hanger or made with boxes on the shelves. In the bedroom, the safe can be covered by a sliding wardrobe with a slot in the back wall or by a bedside table.

Here are some interesting ideas for installing a built-in safe in my opinion:

A built-in safe is hidden behind clothes hung on hangers. Comfortable and does not catch the eye.

Dressing room through the eyes of an outsider, and as the owner sees it.

How to hide a floor safe.

Floor safes are the easiest to install and therefore the most common. With the choice of premises for their installation, the same rule works - the fewer strangers, the better.

After you have decided on the room, you need to figure out how to hide the safe - pushing it with something like a built-in one will not work. But you can still come up with something.

The first option is secretive - embedding a safe in a closet. This option has two points to pay attention to. First, the dimensions of the safe should be such that the cabinet closes normally. Keep in mind that safes with external hinges cannot be pushed close with the hinged side to the side wall of the cabinet, because in this case it will not be possible to open it normally. The second point - if the safe is heavy enough, you need to think over the design so that it does not push through the shelf or cabinet base.

An example of embedding a furniture safe in a closet. In the photo: Technomax GMT / 4 (weight 34 kg)

✍ The maximum allowable weight depends on the strength of the material, thickness and length of the shelf. For example, the maximum allowable weight for a chipboard shelf up to 60 cm long with standard fastening is no more than 40 kg, 60-80 cm long - no more than 30 kg, 80-100 cm long - no more than 20 kg.

When there is a non-working microwave, a compact furniture safe and creative thinking. In the photo AIKO T-17 EL.

The second option is practical - installing a safe under the table. The easiest way to install safes up to 70 cm high. In this case, weight does not matter, since the safe is placed directly on the floor and fastened with anchors. As a result, the safe is covered with a table on three sides, plus for the owner - easy access without getting up from the workplace. Great option for a personal office.

The third option is aesthetic - stylization of the safe as an interior item. For example, under a decorative curbstone or a dressing table. With this approach, the safe will fit into the interior design as organically as possible, and as a result, it will not stand out or catch the eye.

Not everyone will guess that this decorative cabinet is actually a fireproof safe.

Today you can order the production of a safe in a hidden design - the desired size, color finish. Such customization makes it easy to fit the safe into the interior. In the photo - SafeWood 78 EL DS2.

✍ The cost of installing safes in Moscow in March 2018 starts from 2,500 rubles per point - to the floor or wall. Most of the time this is enough.

Burglary protection is solved as follows: setting the apartment on an alarm, buying a burglar-resistant safe and installing it correctly. That is the order and priority. How best to hide the safe - this is the fourth question. When answering it, it is better not to look for ready-made solutions, but to turn on your imagination. This is more likely to deprive attackers of precious minutes and possibly save your valuables.

So, what to do if you are eager to create, but at the same time you are afraid that your "cute stories" (especially if they are rated at least R and include slash / femslash, group sex, incest and / or BDSM) caught the eye of the parents? Let's try to figure it out. I got a personal laptop not so long ago, therefore, I am writing from the point of view of a person who is knowledgeable and experienced in the matter of "stashing your creation." We all know that the "Recently opened files" function very often remains enabled in Word. If your parents don't let you disable this feature, or you don't know/don't want to know how it's done, then: 1. Try not to write in Word. For work, such a very useful feature as Notepad, or Drafts in E-mail (where exactly no one unnecessary will wander) can safely serve. You can still try to use the "Notes", of course, but it's better not to - they, alas, not only are not saved, but are not even minimized to the taskbar. 2. If you tried, but for you the Word is a matter of habit or serves as a source of calm and good mood, then in this case you can go for little tricks, namely: 1) Be sure to rename your works. Moreover, ascribe to them such names that your parents / sisters / brothers / grandfathers / grandmothers will definitely not be interested in (this is not a pairing, don’t think about it). For example (the first thing that came to my mind) you wrote NC-17 for Harry Potter Draco/Harry, Angst, Drama, Kink, Profanity. So call it the name of your last report at school or university, or something else from your related topics. The main thing is that the curious in your family know that this is what you are fond of, and they themselves did not want to poke their noses into such a thing. That is: Specifically, I am interested in weapons, despite the fact that the female. Therefore, all my fics were until recently titled something like: "Desert Eagle - inconvenience in use", "Confirmation of the theory of the invention of gunpowder in Ancient China", "History of duels in France - from the Middle Ages to the 20th century", "Dueling Code of Durasov", etc., etc., etc. The main thing here - do not overdo it. No need to come up with names like "Treatment of constipation with folk methods according to L.S. Serpivo" or "Why can't you dry a cat in the microwave? P.R. Pokanetrup" or "Neurosurgery from R.T. Mogila" (surnames are not invented - Serpivo and the neurosurgeon Dial the grave on the Internet, and Pokanetrup (with other initials, however) knew personally - a very nice girl from Ukraine - the emphasis, by the way, falls on the penultimate letter). Such headlines can arouse quite logical and healthy interest among your even the most phlegmatic relatives. If you don't think this protection is enough, and you still think that someone in your family might be snooping around in your document, then you can do a double trick, which is: Find something really related to your title. Copy and paste in front of your fic. The likelihood that your curious will actually start reading something like "Schrödinger's Equation in quantum mechanics" or "Subject detail in the poem by N.V. Gogol's "Dead Souls" and the image of Chichikov as a knight of a penny "or anything else close to you in spirit and brain is incredibly small. If you are a physicist or mathematician or biologist, then formulas, equations or chemical reactions and necessarily scary-long-incomprehensible words more! If you are a humanist - more search for deep meaning! But what if he decides to scroll down? Then, firstly, add 50 pages of information on the topic before the fic - perhaps he will get tired of aimlessly scrolling through the pages. Secondly, include your innocuous information after your fic, so that if your relative decides to immediately look at the end, he would not see something unexpected like: “I don’t know how I lived without you before,” said Harry still breathless from an unusually intense orgasm, probably one of the best of his life, Draco smiled lightly and wrapped his arms around Potter's waist, his other hand stroking the boy's silky soft cock lovingly with his other hand. But what to do if, despite all your efforts, you are still covered? There is only one answer - to deny that this is not yours, that it was a girlfriend or friend who sent it to your e-mail to read, and you haven’t opened it at all and haven’t seen it in your eyes, but only copied it into Word so that you don’t pay for the Internet while reading. You can even create a second mailbox specifically for this case with some genderless name like [email protected](I hope this is not an e-mail of any of you) or [email protected](similarly) and from it send your own works to your normal mailbox. But this is quite an extreme measure. And to be honest, in my opinion it's easier to just ask your parents for a tablet or a small laptop for DR. And the number of problems will immediately subside.

And this is another fun, although not exactly fun, advice ...

There are two things in life, losing which you get problems.

The main thing, of course, is personal documents. Not one of us knows what it is to lose a certificate, diploma, driving license, passport. And the author of these lines generally managed to “lose” his party card in his younger years, which almost turned into a disaster for him. The word “lose” is in quotation marks, since in fact I accidentally burned my party card, which I already wrote about in one of the stories ().

The second thing is the keys. And here, many of us know what it is to lose the keys to the apartment. Here it is, the door, and you discover that there are no keys to it. And what a shame, do not remember when last time I saw them where I could leave them. Moreover, without them it is impossible to make a duplicate of them. And even if there are spare keys, for some reason they are hidden in the apartment ...

So I came up with a “cunning move” many years ago - wherever I lived, I always made a spare bunch of keys and hid it in a secret place not far from the house. I lost my keys, but there was no trouble: I turned around, went to the hiding place, took out spare ones and ...

It’s smart if you do it ... Alas, it doesn’t always work out ...

Once in Montenegro and starting working there a few years ago, I hid a spare pair of keys a hundred meters from the house in an old fence lushly overgrown with greenery ... Well, who would ever think to look for something in the fence, and if he finds it, then how will he guess what are they - these keys - from my apartment, because there are dozens of houses and hundreds of doors around?!

Interestingly, these keys lay in a cache for four years, reassuring me: if I lose the main bunch - always at hand, not hidden in the apartment, but a spare one stored outside. But the main thing here is that no one except you should know about the cache! Alas, a few months ago I broke that rule...

Before the New Year, my friend Olga Nikolaevna N. called me, who came to live in Montenegro in the winter, and spent the summer in a dacha near Moscow.

Dear friend, help me! I have a plane in a few hours, and there is nowhere to leave things! Can you? I’m only for a couple of months so that I don’t pay rent for an apartment ...

And what are the things?

Yes, clothes, books, every little thing ... Four bags ...

Bring it in, I agreed. - When will you pick it up?

In February! she said. - I'll go to the children and come back here - before the summer ...

That's what they decided on.

She brought her things to me, left them and flew away, and then, a week later, I flew to Moscow, and I didn’t return as planned: Muscovites filled up with work, winding around the country began, negotiations, launching several projects ... January gave way to February, that March...

Olga Nikolaevna, who had long returned to Montenegro, began to worry.

Anatoly Timofeevich, - she wailed, calling me in Moscow. - When will you be here?

Soon, - I reassured her ...

Anatoly Timofeevich, you promised to be there soon, but you are still not there ... Will you come?! she asked excitedly a couple of weeks later.

I will definitely come! Things just don't work...

Anatoly Timofeevich, I have a disaster! - she gave out in a tear a couple of weeks later. - I left bags with all my clothes for you! It's already warm here - it's hot in winter and ... in general! How can I get things?

How how? I interrupted her irritably. “I didn’t force you to leave all your clothes with me!” Enter now you are in my position! Be patient...

Of course, a disaster when summer comes, and all summer things are sealed ... But could you understand me? Do not break away from Moscow and fly to Montenegro to give her bags with her dresses, blouses and still don’t know what ...

And things, alas, were not allowed ...

And when she called me for the seventh time, I - spitting on caution - decided to open to her a secret place where my keys lay. Sitting down at the computer, I described in an e-mail where the old fence was and where the bundle was hidden... However, my generosity was not appreciated - I immediately received a note from her by E-mail: “Anatoly Timofeevich, thank you, but you strange! I'm not going to look for the keys in some hiding places! I also didn’t climb fences at my age! If you come, you yourself will give it back ”... After reading this, I shrugged my hands ...

And two weeks later, having arrived in Montenegro, I discovered that there was no TV, VCR, computer in my apartment ...

There were no keys in the cache ...

The most offensive thing was that all the bags with ladies' dresses stood intact in plain sight: no one touched them...

The church minister who looked after the apartment - and I rented a house near the church - said that one day the door to my apartment was not closed in the morning, the key was sticking out in the lock ... We figured out with him when this happened, and it turned out that the thieves visited the apartment a day later after I sent a description of the hiding place to a friend who was trying to get her clothes ...

Olga Nikolaevna, - I called her. - Did you take the keys I wrote about?

No, she replied in surprise. - I told you that I would not follow them ...

Has anyone been told about the place where they were hidden?

Well, how could you think such a thing about me?!

I sighed.

Or maybe they complained about me arresting your swimsuits? To one of my friends! And somehow they opened the hiding place to them?

There was a pause in the receiver, after which her sharp voice was heard.

I don’t say anything about this to anyone ...

Do others have access to your computer? Maybe someone read my letter? I asked in the last hope to find out who knew about the hiding place with the keys.

No one has access to my computer! She replied indignantly...

In short, as in the final silent scene of Gogol's The Government Inspector...

It was fun…

Why did I say this?

Firstly, in order to spread among your friends your brilliant idea about “hiding” spare keys!

I'm not laughing…

Secondly, to dissuade once and for all all the followers of this brilliant idea a). to take other people's dresses and clothes for storage ...
b). tell anyone about the secret...

Because you can't stop laughing!

Believe it or not, I really laughed! Above oneself...

And I also discovered that without TV and the Internet it became so interesting...

Silence. Peace...

The birds are singing. Smells all around...

And thoughts appear...

Interesting, by the way...

(exhibiting this miniature, I'm flying to Moscow tomorrow, where for the first time in many months I will read all of you - the crazy time is over)
