Tips for moving base?

[Galm 1]

At a point in the game where treks to new areas are taking forever, does anyone have tips for relocating? Not new locations, but carrying all my crap to a new spot. I've got the forklift but i still feel like it's gonna take forever

Forklift is your best bet, it won't take super long if you also load up your backpack with as much stuff as possible before driving off since the overencumbrance won't actually hurt you.

I recommend trying to get the rat backpack if you dont have it already

It really depends on what stage of the game you are at.

Early on, other than moving purely on foot, you can use a platform cart. It's handy for not only lugging heavy things, but since it counts as a vehicle, even if you are weighed down you aren't slowed either. The other benefit is that it can go places that the Forklift can't, like stairs.

About the only things I can say is just to make sure you stack things right on your cart to put the heaviest stuff on it (in case you need to move on foot for some reason) and make sure your path is clear.

Later on, a forklift can be good, but then you'll have to worry about pathing and making sure you've unlocked gates and doors that allow for easy vehicle access.

Lastly, if you have a personal teleporter, you get two of them, have a charger at each spot, and then just load up and zap between spots, trying to be as efficient with your slot usage as you can.

When I moved from the Office Security post (by Manufacturing West) to the Labs Aquarium Lobby I used 5 platform carts and a forklift. I was playing with two people, so I'd unpack the base and ferry the platform carts to the Office lobby, then they'd load the cart into the forklift and ferry it back to the base site.

If you are relatively close to a tram and your new base site is also next to a tram (it really should be!) then you can load up platform carts and leave them right at any tram. From there, you can take the platform cart inventory and load it into your inventory AND the Tram's storage to reach the location quickly.

Like MechWarden said. Rush story and gather enough stuff to make it and u will able to easily move base unlike my friend move in middle of Lv2 area and getting frust by killer robot and died and quit til i told him about speedrun strats they doing on Youtube soo his only gather enough stuff to progress to next level and quickly make teleporter soo his can finally move base from first one to lv3 area

imo if you're far enough in the game id invest in setting up multiple small bases around the map with 1 large main base that you can use.

first step in setting up base is a new crafting bench and a bed get that done then start moving supplies to the new base
not much to say other then to craft 1 to 2 carts once your in your new base since in my experience its better to have mobile storage for your base since you'll be moving heavy loads around especially since once you set up another base your going to pick the next place clean anyway
