Best Base Locations in Once Human

Choosing the right spot for your base lays the groundwork for your entire gameplay experience. In *Once Human*, you can only establish your base on designated plots using a Territory Core. Once you've claimed a plot, it becomes your permanent building zone—until you decide to relocate.

Key Tips for Picking a Plot:

  • Resource Access: Opt for areas close to water sources, logging sites, and ore veins. This proximity minimizes travel time and bolsters your early game crafting capabilities.
  • Flat Ground: Building on uneven terrain can be challenging. Selecting flat land facilitates easier expansion and the use of snap-fit structures.
  • Low Mutant Activity: Certain zones are plagued by more aggressive mobs or corruption storms. If you're still gearing up, it's wise to steer clear of these areas.
  • Proximity to Points of Interest: Being near dungeons, abandoned bunkers, or fast travel gates adds long-term convenience to your base's location.
  • Tip: Zoom in on your map to spot buildable land, marked by green squares. Remember, relocating your Territory Core incurs a currency cost.
