I'm loving the game, but I feel like the base defenses are lacking just a little. How about adding static defenses that players would have to operate manually such as a balista that fires spears or catapult/trebuchet that uses peblets. Maybe even have different tiers based on progression. For balance reasons they should have a build limit or something, maybe even require certain other walls/floors around them.

I'm not gonna lie those would be overkill to the extreme with the current mobs. Once you unlock ladybug armor and the brood mother club no mob has much of a chance no matter your skill level. Now if they introduced enemies you had to drive off like Fifi the Pummelranian or a Wren/chickadee that will go to your bases and try to steal nesting materials

I do hope that we will be able to build something that can kill mosquitos upon spawning though.
