Base Building
Starter Base Layout
A good starter base is compact, readable, and quick to return to after gathering loops.
Layout Rules
- Place storage next to crafting stations so resource dumping is fast.
- Keep cooking and healing supplies close to the exit.
- Leave room for smelting, upgrade stations, and future resource processing.
- Build in a location with predictable nearby resources and manageable enemy pressure.
Important 0.12 base change
Update 0.12 reorganized equipment crafting across the Blacksmith’s Bench, Fletching Bench, Mystic Forge and Armour Bench. Existing stations were removed on first login after the update with their components refunded, so players need to rebuild the stations rather than searching an old bench for a missing recipe.
Mining level 59 unlocks Ore & Stone Storage, while Woodcutting level 59 unlocks Lumber Storage. See the crafting station lookup before redesigning a workshop.
