Large flat area northeast of starting location, between two mountains near "Lemon Souls". Abundant high-purity resource nodes with massive expansion space. Ideal for late-game mega-factory builds.
Overlooking a river west of "The Reach" zone. Access to almost every resource except Sulphur (nearby node available). Consistent supply for advanced crafting. Requires defensive turrets due to Vermin waves.
Elevated position with lake access. Hydro Bulbs for water, Prism Herb for consumables. Underground caves offer Quartz and Glowcaps. Fewer Vermin nests than other areas. Near Geo Scanner for easy surveying.
Strategic position near the first Geo Scanner northeast of spawn. Base Core radius covers Wolfram, Titanium, and Calcium deposits. Nearby pond provides water. Good forward scouting position for western exploration.
Circular clearing northeast of your starting ship. No nearby enemy spawns initially. Quick access to Copper and Wolfram (north), Titanium (east), Calcium (southwest). Ideal first base for beginners.
Resource-rich zone northeast of starting area. Rich in Sulphur, Helium-3, and Calcium. Good for long-term base but challenging due to dangerous wildlife. Requires established defenses before settling.
The exact spot where you land. Feels safe initially but usefulness diminishes quickly. Limited resource variety and expansion space. Plan to relocate or establish secondary bases early.
