Should i make a base in the lost river and live in it for a while

[FoeFue]

should I?

By the cove is the best location for a late-game base. It's kind of like a late game version of the shallows.

If you have time.

[Claybot]

Up to you I always place a base in the Lost River

It will make your life easier. Its better if you have a small base there to make upgrades for cyclops and prawn or else you'll keep running back and forth between LR and your base.

Well to be logical bases save you time but cost time and materials to build.

I build bases because I like to, not because it’s smart or I need to.

If you just wanna finish the game then no, if you don’t mind farming materials and enjoy building bases then yes.

It’s probably worth it to build a small charging station next to a thermal in the blue brine tree cove. Anymore and it’s probably costing more time than it’s saving, but that’s exactly what I want... what do you want?

I wanna build a cyclops dock there if they put it in.

F that I'm trying to make my base in the Lava lake!! >:D

No, in the void 5,000m down.

Given the choice, I'd put it in the ILZ and benefit from all that heat energy!

I never thought of that, does anybody know if you can actually put foundations for a base onto the lava? That would be spectacular!

I made an outpost in the Lost River to serve as a point to refill battery/power cell power and restock on food and water so I didn't have to make long trips back to my main base in the safe shallows. Having a safe spot to rest in in the Lost River is a good idea, but I wouldn't make it too fancy.

I do not recommend that you do this, due to the fact that crabsquids will constantly shut your base down.

I built mine around the corner from the Cove tree near one of the big skulls and it was a great location for late game exploration.

I built one by the cove but in the end I didn't use it much; only for recharging my power cells and retroactively fitting out my prawn suit with the MK1 depth mod in the moonpool because I had unwisely neglected that before until it became mandatory (I actually had to quickly stack some base tiles and place the prawn suit on top so it wouldn't get crushed by the pressure, since the cove is slightly below 900 m ... XD). It was good to have a safe spot down there, but it's not absolutely necessary.

(As a sidenote, from a story point of view building a base near a giant ghost leviathan hatching tree seems even more ill advised than what the Degassi crew did, but that place is just so beautiful and soothing - I love jellyrays - and I was pretty sure the egg wouldn't hatch during game time. :D)

Here's where I built mine:

There's a nice (relatively) safe corner here and heat sources nearby for thermal power.
