Ok, Security spot is my current base and I love it, but there’s 2 spots you didn’t show I feel are awesome… There’s the live fire area of the Labs… right at the top of the elevator, because once you clear that area the turrets are friendly and stay active at night so free defense from everything except Leyak And as crazy as it seems… the Furniture store… if you have the personal teleporter, make a base at the top of the elevator in the safe area, and link your teleporter The teleporter lets you bypass the puzzle, plus, no enemies can attack you there, not even Leyak By that point in the game, when your in the labs, access to a water source won’t matter since you can just go down the elevator with a few barrels and fill them in a fountain, then use your water filter…
Word of advice, if you build beside any of laser emitting areas you can use laser power converter to gain unlimited 24/7 power (Make sure that you don’t build too far as game chunks tend to unload, making the laser disappear)
also, while i don't know if this is intended, but if you wanna power wahtever you want except for stoves a laser emitter emitting into a splitter where one of those rays feeds back into a converter generates power meaning that it is 24/7 power
You sir… are a genius… because you don’t necessarily need to be _next_ to the lasers… just within a reasonable enough vicinity to use a lot of power strips stuck to the ceiling…
My wife, friend and I built our base in the upper room next to the elevator up to the Flathill portal. several outlets and the enemies spawn below us so we are not pressed to defend. It is locked behind a level one security lock but you get that relatively quickly. The only real issue was water but it is a short jog over to the pool and with the blue barrels you can disassemble from manufacturing and other locations. The water purifier made it even easier.
A great spot is to the left of your main base. Those 2 lil aliens constantly respawn, only one direction for enemies to come, you have a large open space, there’s a car past the doors to the laboratory, it’s where I’ve had the most success
i've only played single player, and the only base i've set up in a spot not mentioned is in the gym of the hydroplant residences (subpar for sightlines but gives relatively easy access to the water-net) and in and lil area looking over silo 3 in office sector floor 3 before you have access (has some natural cover, few nearby spawns (as long as you remember to walk the bot to the electrified puddle), a vending machine and some decent, at that time, pre-renewable resources)
i set my base up in that room with the ladder where you need a keypad lvl 1 to unlock and its next to the elevator that takes you to the fog portal world theres two big rooms plenty of space
had to skip a few segments of the video for spoilers sake but im def taking notes on the security office and level 1 bases. funnily enough ive only used traps as offense instead of defense but setting up chopinators/turrets permanently in the level 1 lobby sounds like a good way to passively farm CPUs. killing robots manually is a pain in the butt
my main base is behind the water cooler and the soda machines at the wildlife pen. raids are a bit busted for the spot, they all spawn in the pen and have to venture around to my base. i will defiantly set up the tesla coils for that robit.
i ended up setting up in executive because it had a water fountain and a few rooms to setup a kitchen and gardening area. i do wish though there was a way to spawn proof base areas better that isnt setting up traps and turrets in every los because it makes areas with small rooms feel so cluttered.
