Second base unlocked , but what for ?

[Voodoo974]

I just unlock the capacity to put a second base , but i dont know why i would do that ? what is the utility ? maybe make a farming base ? are ressource in both base can be used together or ill have to bring ressource from base 1 to base 2 to can craft ? etc ... if someone find a utility of that let me know ! ty :)

You need an incredibly absurd amount of ingots later and most people don't put their first base on 8 metal nodes. So you can use your second base as a place to collect the metal needed.

Different scenery, easier moving bases, Ingot farm, fast travel to a remote place, etc etc

[Sticks]

How about having twice as many workers assigned or another fast travel point?

Where do you have a place with so many metal around? Iam searching but dont find one.

You'll need hundreds of Ingots later in game. Use it for fast travel on areas with Ingots.

The earliest is across the bridge behind the world boss Chillet. 157,-397 roughly.

ok thanks, will check but first i have to fix my pals they stop working on my benches -.-

look for big white spots on the maps, some of them have like 5-8 metal ingot things on them... and it seems even when they are inside your base radius, they will respawn... so you could place your 2nd base there and assign miner pals and they will take down the nodes and you just need to travel there time to time to pick up the stuff....


also: if you only assign them to the base, they go around doing work, if you pick them up and throw them at a workplace they will priorize that and not go away if something else pops up

like how like all crafter run towards what im builiding, but if you assign them to a bench by throwing them on it, they should stay at the bench and work on it as long as sth in in the queue there

Even with a wide open plot to build on you're not going to have enough space to build everything. Some of the crafting stations are quite large.

I just unlocked the third base and will finally be able to build a breeding area because I've run out of space in first base and the second is setup for mining.

And pals don't do well with stairs all the time. So building up isn't always a good option.

[Dark]

Pretty much ingots and fast travel to locations not close to a fast travel point.

[Zaltys]

Nope, resources are not shared between bases. Get used to hauling things between bases...

[jacktan9203]

Why would you guys whine about needing an insane amount of metal late game? I know you guys do not play on official servers anyway. Because I am already at level 35 official server and don't think the same.

If you dont play on OFFICIAL SERVERS, just set your harvest rate LOL

[Kersakof]

Harvest rate doesn't increase with any of the sliders currently. Not sure if that's intentional or not. More or less you will use alternate bases in the tech tree to make items to transport back to a central base. Etc., the desert and snow biomes will have things in them you'll want later. Also as said, there's metal nodes you probably didn't put your first base near. My main base went next to many metal nodes, my second base I kept where it was for farming, my third base has been for something in the desert. My last base most likely will be in the snow area unless I find another place.

Not sure if its the same place, but my second (and main) base is close t othe desolate church, there's a HUGE flat plateau area there. And its like a 1-2min walk from the church (up hill) where there are like 8+ iron nodes.

It is across a bridge (you get to the new area and go left and theres a bridge, then iirc you go right) so it probably is the same place, but thought I'd help clarify it a bit RE: the church ^.^

To the east there are a bunch of paldium nodes too.

I know but this dont work anymore since last patch or since i get attacks on my base. I throw them to the workbench (also the right pals) but they wont work and run away and say "nothing to do" i also canceld the work and than the pal pop up in the menu for 2 seconds and than no pal is coming or working.
