Can you recommend a good place to build?

Hello, I want to make a good base, but most places are either not flat or not close to the sea. Which is the best field? Also can you send me a photo? I want to see the place.

Storymode or survival?

If doing storymode, then you will end up with multiple bases unless you want to walk for miles.

As for location, if you intend using alot of mudbricks then close to a river. Or close to a source of logs or bamboo logs.

Also Basegame or SoA as they have different start locations.

For story mode or survival, I personally like building mine a the abandoned village, the first spot you come to in story mode, It may not be flat, but it is a great spot for a tree house. There are several trees there you can build it in. I usually go with the one that is just south of the river bend. There are plenty of trees in the area to work with, and a bunch of the trees for the rope. There is also a spot to sleep until you get one built, plus the food drier is already there, and you can put your fire under any of the buildings that are already there so the rain doesnt put them out.. If you have predators on though, just bare in mind there is a jaguar there.

I have several spots that I loved. Anaconda island which has bamboo and wood. Water all around.
The Fishing Dock is right near the water. Has bamboo over the river and wood.
There is so many places some of the abandoned village in the SOA 1 map right near the lagoons where the large ship is. Look for places that have bamboo as well wood for building.

A more or less flat land next to water is my first point to look out.
Check for vegetation hints like bananas, nut trees.
If it's easy access to meat or fish.

The fishing dock is my favorite because you can have it all and it's safer to go arround, no big cats to suprise you. Just mind the piranhas in the river.

This was my take on survival (78 days):

For survival mode: the fishing dock is a good location. It is pretty safe (no jaguar and no snakes in the immediate vincinity). So is the peninsula just across the river (though there´s some dangers like a snake or ants, but you´ll soon learn where they are). If you find the fishing dock, the empty small camp on the top of the hill on the other side of the river, plus the cave nearby (careful, snakes and scorpions, enter by daylight), you got two places to sleep and one to safe the game without building any structure, plus five coconuts and all sorts of other stuff. Plus, as of today, the tribal warriors can not cross the big river, so you can always retreat to the other side, make some spears, and return, should you get in trouble.
