What are some base locations you like using in combination with something like godsend resources that are purely for the aesthetic/defensive aspects?

The circled area is a place I call Bloodrum Hill due to it naturally being both desert and swamp without the resource cheat, and you can have a massive uphill run for base defense.

Easy to spot from far away so I never get lost, three distinct biomes to tap into, proximity to Brink and Flats Lagoon are pluses. Constant rain from the Unwanted Zone side (some periodic acid), decent low level training with Beak Things and Stormthrall patrols. Expect Reaver and Skin raids, as well as the UC taxman from Brink if they manage to make it across the Unwanted Zone intact. It'll serve as a jumping point deeper into the Pits East for a base near Crab Town.

Welcome to the team ?

The first few times I built a base, I would optimize it before even thinking of creature comforts. This time around, I thought of what a bunch of weirdos running around a blasted hellscape would do when they finally found a place to call home. So this time, they planted some fields, made a field kitchen (cuz food is always what motivates me to make a base, after my squad gets too big to survive just from foraging). and threw down some sleeping bags. After spending months living off the land, I figured the next thing they would do would want to drink. So, before anything else, they built a latrine, a bar and real sleeping quarters. Realitisically, I feel like before anyone swung a hammer to make sheets of chain mail, they would want a goddamned break from the dust and to whet their parched throats (and self medicate after all the trauma). And maybe take a dump with some privacy.

There's also the big boi that we don't talk about to avoid spoilers but generally The Big Three are 99% of the politics in the game.

No other game makes you feel so small, in such a big world, without any dread or mysticism. I can hardly even séé Beep!

For a few weeks or days im just trying out robotics and the Bonefields

I do love how the arms turned out and i do love the Bonefields so much, is a neat looking area i do recommend exploring it and taking in the view.

lil tip- Try to be fast in this area, its swamped with Beakthings and Elder Beakthings, use the guards to take aggro or kill them.

The base of my current playthrough although not the final project for this character, in fact this is just the setup. Many hundreds of windless days of acid rain and persistent fishmen and skeleton bandit attacks, not to mention the occasional raid from skin bandits, triangle bandits and reavers, but it is now finally done!

Currently the base is mostly staffed by thralls but we can support more fleshies and soon will have a tech monk army, with this base we can craft practically anything (except for cactus products), the next main project is the bridge connecting The Pits to the Ashlands, then the fortress in the middle of the acid sea and then maybe another fortress on those tiny islands far east of the Ashlands.
