Ideal Base Locations in Once Human
Location establishes your foundation for success. In Once Human, bases can only be constructed on designated plots using Territory Cores. Claimed territories become permanent building zones until officially relocated.
Critical Location Selection Factors:
- Resource Availability: Prioritize areas with easy access to water sources, dense forests, and mineral deposits to minimize travel time and sustain early-game production
- Terrain Quality: Flat terrain enables smoother construction and expansion compared to uneven landscapes that complicate structural placement
- Threat Assessment: Avoid high-activity mutant zones and frequent corruption storm areas until sufficiently equipped
- Strategic Positioning: Proximity to dungeons, abandoned facilities, or fast travel points provides long-term operational advantages
Pro Tip: Examine your map closely—green grid squares indicate available building plots. Territory relocation requires in-game currency expenditures after initial placement.
Building Your Survival Legacy
Your base stands as the cornerstone of survival—facilitating advanced crafting, secure storage, weather protection, and threat deterrence. Thoughtful design, robust defenses, and progressive enhancements transform your base from temporary shelter into a lasting testament of your survival prowess.
