Good base location - Experimental

[iokimg]

This location is on the Eastern border of the Swamp and Shem.

Good:
Copper 80%
Iron 100%
Water 200%
Arid and Swamp farming at 100% growth and 100% fertility
Strong winds in Shem
Close to several towns
Fairly close to centrally located when the full map is released

Meh:
Stone 50%, and it's in the lake

NPCs (I use several mods that may effect this):
UC tax zone
HN Prayer Day
Nomad and Hive traders
Starving and Dust bandits
Band O Bones
Beakthings
Swamp Raptors
With my Skeleton Wars mod start, the anti-slavers raided me
With nest spawns at 4x there are a lot of assaults and patrols to deal with.

The fun:
The water and cliffs surrounding this location make for some fun wall building. I've had it set up where attackers need to swim around the entire lake to reach the entrance, or swim across the lake to get in. The cliffs make for excellent tower mounted turrets spots.

Bad:
I've run into some pathing issues in the water. Sometimes there is a zone in the water you can enter but not leave without being picked up.

Gonna try it out, was actually looking for a good spot around the center. Thanks bro

did you get raid by bandit or something like that ?

[iokimg]

Yes, multiple bandit raids plus Raptors and beak things, depending on your settings.

It's pretty close to the Nomads town which gives you a safe place to hide if needed.
