Best Base Locations

[Blaze1961]

Here is my favorite spot so far. Iron/coal/fiber/wood/leather/water so close as well as a lot of flat space to build . Post a screen shot of yours.

Follow the north river all the way up to the end.

Dude, how did you made it up there ? I tried it with my friend, we were overwhelmed by Spiders 3 times, no chance...

I like that spot visually, my base is in the Savannah area right next to it under the waterfalls. I don't like that spot however because the water there is bugged and you can just flat out walk through it and scorpions regularly come there.

That is a nice spot. That is the oasis in the north side.

I made a similar trip recently more to the east with the water falls and statues .I started out with a small base in the south. When I was geared and had plenty of water and food I made the dangerous trek to this area of the map. I tell you the trip was nerve wrecking. It is a dangerous trip. However traveling north is worth the risk. Don't forget to make a bed roll while your there because if you die you will re spawn back south and you will hate life.

Good luck anyone heading north!

A bit SouthEast of your location is the bridge.
You could like on that, and only have 1 entrance, and a direct route to the Sunken City

I have found a seriously amazing spot.
It's the spot of spots, for me at least.
And so far.

Best part is, you can get there quite easily (some spiders, like 3 or 4 over the whole trip, but getting a bow first is an option and then that's really no issue) very early on.

I forewent building an initial base and just survived a bit until I had a stone sword and shield, then went for it, and succeeded.

Do indeed make bedrolls on various safe spots along the trek, it helps! :)

The spot has:

- Extremely fast security (make a 4 foundations wide wall and you're set, area has no hostile spawns right there anyway)
- Resources:
** Water very close
** Fibre very close
** Aloe very close
** Trees very close
** Stone very close
** Coal very close
** Iron very close
** Antelopes very close
** Rocknoses very close (not too close)
** Hyenas very close (not too close)
** Crocodiles very close (not too close)
** Elephants very close (not too close)
** Rhinos very close (not too close)
** NPC camps very close (not too close)
** Huge NPC camp plenty close (Dogs)
** Spiders plenty close
** Yellow Lotus plenty close
** Corruption plenty close
** Undead Dragon plenty close
** Black Hand ship is close enough
** Darfari cannibal center is close enough

So the only thing it lacks close is the Relic Hunter camp and snakes, scorpions and mantises.
Oh, and eggs, that was a tiny bit of a bummer when it turned out to have zero 'turtle' egg nests. But it's no point really.
The undead city is also not that close but at decent distance imo.

This truly is the spot of spots imho, try it out! :)

Location: northwest corner of T6 on this map: https://i.redd.it/oqanyjx072dy.png
Maybe you've come across that oasis in-between huge cliffs? It's very near there, up a slope.

This capture was early on and a temp location before I really knew about the land claim radius. I did however build a larger base on the ledge (captures in my screenshot library). I don't think the water is bugged it is just shallow and I think it is kinda nice not having to swim across. Getting up there early on can be a little rough just keep trying. If you put bedrolls down just remember where they are and go back and remove them once you are able to. I've since tried a few other places but I always seem to want to go back to this spot.

Yeah I know the place, personally I like that spot as well.

Do you have a better picture on the map. Because if I'm in the right place. Your idea of close-by water and resources are very different than mine.

Here it is:

Do note that this was prior to the map changes.

Creatures may be in different spots and some landscape may have changed.

X is/was the spot. The circle was a nice little private lake/pond/oasis. But now on the map it isn't water, so that might be a bummer. Still, river below, so real close.

Anyway, I haven't been there since long, check it out and let me know :)

I think it was intact, I followed your previous suggestion of the NW corner of T6 pretty to the letter and it leads to that Oasis more than anything which has two barbarian camps abutting it. That plateu over the oasis would be neat, but again it's got two camps around it now.

I think they might have upped the croc pop in the X area.

[Godwin]

Yeah good to get some thralls from. That's why you go there off to the side.

That could well be, they were under the overhang towards the ship and sometimes 1 down the river towards the damned city.

Elephants used to walk near that overhang towards the ship as well. Far enough to not be a bother at all unless you wanted it.

[Godwin]

Just scouted the place: really good still. Animal spawns so far seem to be the only major changes.

Elephants are gone, rhino as well. Hyena's even.

But there's a Huge Crocodile in the oasis pond now.

So yeah, being approximately in the center of the map and near an Obelisk I still think it's a very very good place.
