Base size is too small

[Guts]

Once you have everything for crafting set up, there's no more room in the base, and the pathing on pals messes up a lot. A cake/breeding farm is a base on it's own, since you need 2 ranches to keep the cake coming, and the breeding pen is HUGE. With only 3 bases available, and pals not always being able to use stairs properly, and large pals not being able to go inside (even if you build a large enough entrance to your building), it's just not enough room. And then there's the problem of trying to automatically farm sulphur, coal, and ore. There just aren't enough bases to get what you need, and there's not enough carry weight to bring a meaningful amount of coal or metal back to your base, even with a full team of transportation pals and 20 points in weight.

I don't know what's best for game balance, but something has to give. I'd like to see base radius size increased. What do you think?

I may change my opinion of it later. But think the base size is fine. What bothers me is how oversized the boss area restriction radius is. That and the lack of flat locations that aren't boss areas or adjacent to em.

I hope they take the need for pal beds out. Those things take up so much unnecessary space.

I would love to see a way to upgrade the base size, at least once, but they would also have to increase the distance of bases close to each other to compensate

[Dunning]

Maybe base radius could be upgraded similar to its level. At a level 1 base, you might not want your cativa to be 90 seconds away when you just want him to help build you arrows.

It would be nice to have plenty of space to build as you go.

Being forced to place buildings so close to another causes pathing issues too.

Base size is perfekt i think, but Pathfinding needs to be Tweaked plus an Possibitilty to share ressources between Bases making it Viable to have Multiple Bases for diferent Tasks.

It's kind of hard to build a base when you don't have a grid to help you visualise where you can place the objects.

Dude, you have a giant blue circle around the palbox to tell you where you can build and it still be considered "your base". If you want a snap-to-grid system you'd make base building even harder.

You get 100% of your materials when you breakdown anything you built. The game doesn't punish you if you make a mistake, or if you really suck at figuring out how to place stuff.

I can tell you haven't made it to level 40 yet, because if you had, you'd be complaining about all the large pals getting stuck between a plantation and the feed trough.

What if you make the 3 base zones intersect with other and you put your biggest stash there for all the loot that monsters generate in the base, and then in whatever else place you make your other stash for found loot in the same base zone as the crafting station.

I feel the issue isn't the base size but ai patching. I have a giant box with double wide holes for doors and 2 high ceiling and my flying mons will still get stuck in the roof

Am I the only one who wants a SQUARE base instead of a circle? ^^ Base would become bigger instead of wasting that space in the world.

And then someone comes, why not make it a circle.
A square fits into a circle, and so does circle fit into a square.
Though yeah you just want to make it bigger, not actually a square space.

Working on it on my game. I am planning to grid out the walls with foundation bits, I have so much wood that it wouldnt even dent my reserves.

Careful. Wood bases WILL burn down eventually.

I was hoping that as you upgrade it would increase the radius, lets hope for this in a future update. Getts pretty cramped. Unless you start building upward with structures. Then you come across possible pathing issues. More then 2 bases would be nice as well.

To properly operate, you need a crafting base, a breeding base, and a mining base. You only get 3 bases. This likely means that you're going to need to farm sulphur and coal personally. I haven't found a spot on the map where I can get metal, coal, and sulphur in one spot other than dungeons, which can't be built inside of.

190, -40 All the coal and ore you will need with one base
