[Resource] Once Human: How Do You Build the Best Base?

[Uncrowned Guard]

Introduction

Building a base in Once Human is an integral part of starting your survival journey, where you can perform various activities to craft new weapons, food, and make essential materials to set yourself up for success. Having a good base in Once Human gives you an early advantage and saves you a lot of time in the early game while also significantly decreasing your hunger and thirst, saving you resources once you're not fighting Deviants.

Location Selection

After you complete the game’s introductory levels, your flying companion V should drop you on the game’s map. To build your base in Once Human, press B, and you have to place the Territory Terminal when it’s green. While you can build your base almost everywhere in Once Human’s map, specific restrictions exist where the terminal will appear red, and you'll get an error message. For example, you cannot make your base too close to the roads, or you will get hit by the 'structure cannot be built near a stronghold' error, and you need to move away from it. You cannot create your base too close to other players' bases, so you must find an isolated area to start your journey.

Placement Tips

To avoid errors, move away from the red structures while placing the terminal and set it when it’s green. While setting up your base, there are a few things you should consider. Firstly, a nearby water source should be vital for your survival since you will need to quench your thirst to avoid getting dehydrated. Secondly, ensure a steady supply of rare minerals like sulfur near your base, saving you the early trips to find the minerals.

Server Reset

Currently, you can have only one base on the map, and it should exist there until the next server wipe, after which you’ll need to restart your journey in Once Human.
