Best Base Location?

[Bones]

Anyone know any good spots? I am currently in the office behind the kitchen in the cafeteria (first place you find).

Is it possible to build on the roof over the open landscape office?

I feel like the gym would be a great spot. Haven't seen any enemies spawn in there, only in the locker room.

also the robot wanders in

The area off the catwalk above the cubicles on level 2 seems like it could be a good spot - it's a huge open area and there seem to be no enemy spawns up there at all and it's got power sockets. Enemies down below don't seem to see you or aggro when you are up there (and they couldn't take the elevator if they did).

That's where I built. It's been great.

In manufacturing there is a tier 2 locked door on top of the forge, made my 2nd base there. Its long and narrow but has enough room for me. You could also use the roof on top of the forge if you run a cord up there.

I think the 'best' location is gonna be someplace you can get water. That is really the only resource of trouble, you will run out of clean stuff eventually and I'm still keepin watch for water treatment options

yep that one is great

I really like the level 2 security room

I'm actually getting ready to move to the tram station, but on the OPPOSITE side. It has one path in and out, and a power plug. Run back across to acces washrooms and charger.

I'm still using security breakroom. So far, it is close to shortcuts to all locations available to me.

This is a PLUS because with traps you can have a nightly supply of drinks and CPUs.

I feel like the biggest concern for a base location is just how central it is. There's lots of really secure locations that I've written off because they're too far out of the way and coming back there every time is too long a walk. Other things are less important -- water, toilet, power, chargers, stoves, all these things can be compensated for, one way or another, but location is really the most vital.
This is especially true in Manufacturing onwards, where some locations can take quite a long walk to get anywhere important.

The other big factor is enemy spawns, but I feel like that's just a bug right now, because I don't think peccaries are supposed to be able to spawn right inside your base next to your crafting table (at least, unless there's an active portal storm, which isn't what I'm talking about).

So far the 2nd security room in office sector is the best( the one you can only get in with hack tool), it's close to water source, have zipline in 2nd floor balcony, main entrance can be shut with shutter, backdoor is very easy to defense , have built in charger, bathroom, ammo spawn location. It had EVERYTHING!
But the new update prevent you from shutting the shutter forever, so I was planning to move my base

You forgot to mention the giant locker room right next to it for tons of free storage.

Oh and we both forgot to mention the charging station, the coffee machine and food and drink vending machines in there too.

The Tram station opposite of the fountain in the lobby is a really good spot.
You are near the Lab Shortcut, FORGE shortcut, Train Portal Shortcut, not too far from Flathill, near a water source, etc.
It has plenty of flat and open space with no roaming mobs nearby, the only drawback is the relatively long distance to a toilet(until you can make one) and only one source plug.
