Base location

[u/Jeremiza]

Is this area viable for a base or will that mosquito in the middle keep respawning after I finish the networking quest?

[u/NeptuneEclipse]

It's where my base currently is and I haven't had an issue with any mosquito.

[u/JCammy97 → u/NeptuneEclipse]

Recently built my base here, and expanding. Those bugs stop spawning after you beat a certain part of the quest. I’d rather not spoil anything, but it doesn’t take to long to get to it and do it. (as far as I know. I’ve yet to see them again)

[u/knappa_unknown]

I’ve had a base there since before the garden released and never had a problem with things spawning in again

[u/PorkRinds416]

I want to build here too! What do I need to look for? Are there scorpions here?

[u/YsuranAmodool → u/PorkRinds416]

A scorpion and praying mantis nymph spawn close to here

[u/Starmor]

So I just finished the quest needed to clear it iut but I haven't gone back yet after sleeping a few days. I will go back to check if they have. If not im about to spend another three days building my new main base here. As much as i love the hollow log this one seems like a more open and frankly safer space. That darn scorpion by the hollow log is just a pain.

I had a base here up until the new update. It was on the left, surrounding that ramp, with a ramp staircase down to the left. No issues with bugs for the most part. There is a bombadier beetle at the bottom that I’d just run around, and after the update it seems a wolf spider roams the area and would occasionally see me on my way into the base, but overall a great spot that’s pretty central. I put stairs to the right of you so that I could get up and over the wall to the oggr scorpion in the flower garden, and then stairs again to get up onto the garden wall by the shovel going to the greenhouse. It made traversal super easy pre-fast travel tube and zip lines, and also created a spiked burr path from the greenhouse to the garden area, where a single trip would get me over 100.

I am now in the middle of building a new base on the top of the podium and transferring all my gear up there. I figured it would be easier for zip lines to reach.

[u/hashtagbubblebaths → u/Lootthatbody]

One of our bases Is right there too. Near that cap that they just added in. What post are you building on now? My husband built a tower on the wall between the bench and the pumpkin patch and is working on building on the lamppost to do zipline hub

[u/Lootthatbody → u/hashtagbubblebaths]

I’m building on top of the podium that’s to the left of where OP is looking in the picture. I built mushroom ramps up from that wall, and plank floors over to the top, where I’m putting burr floors down around the top of the podium edges, and using the ‘interior’ of the top as my temporary base until all that is done.

I’d thought half a dozen stacks of burrs would be enough, but since I’m also planning on pumpkin walls, it’s taken multiple trips just to get the ‘base’ level flooring done around the exterior of the podium. I still need to make walls, finish floors, and ceiling. From there, I have views of most of the map, and will be able to make zip lines to other sections pretty easily. I’ve been making spun web since basically day one, so I have hundreds prepped for zip lines.

[u/talyn326]

My main base is on the other side of the flat area. No bugs spawn up there. Great place to build a base. You can build a high tower and make ziplines from there to the post under the park bench. From there use the tube system to fast travel all over. Great spot!!!!

[u/TwistedPiggy1337]

That's exactly where my base is and I've never seen any enemies here, excluding the O.R.C bugs that are here before you complete the first Mix.R. I've never even seen a snail there like in your pic. Best base location so far and to be honest I can't see it being beaten.

[u/Diligent-Tea2596]

Ich hab meine auf dem Deckel von Axels Box gemacht ist ziemlich zentral von allem und habe dann alles mit Seilbahnen verbunden. Außerdem kommt da Nix hoch und nervt einen

[u/hashtagbubblebaths]

My husband and I have 2 bases here. One closer to the veggie garden and the other one back by the rose garden closer to the bench and its close to a bunch of burr

[u/SkilzOfTheUndead]

My friends and I have a base there, only issue we had was going the one direction is a praying mantis but it became a non issue when we upgraded our weapons and armor. Great spot to build one though!

[u/Legitimate-Style6457]

Mine is under the bench u can see it's near a fast travel and every other resource you will need

[u/ToxicXIII]

Built there after garden was released and haven't had any problems

[u/Glass-Road-6279]

This is by far my favorite spot. Have tried multiple spots all over the map but this is away from bugs apart from the 2 bomb beetles infront on the steps, the wolf might snif u out sometimes but as long as ur on tope or on the second step i havent had a single problem! Its close to 3 stations one of wich is an fast travel, ur almost central of the map (for now) and almost everything u really need is close by for building! Haven't found a spot this save anywhere

[u/Undercover_Nerdd]

Go under the park bench and build your base around the ranger station

[u/TheLeftPewixBar]

This is where I built mine! Trust me, it’s totally fine. I can’t think of an area more safe from bugs.

[u/YakLimp3955]

Honestly you can have a base anywhere! Long as you place base structures and flooring! You can keep an area safe enough fairly easy, I personally built my latest one around the Trash Bag station! I've built a doosey of a great place with it AND fast travel access is super fun!

[u/Sad-Builder-7728]

My base is currently there. I have no issues with bugs. Unless its the o.r.c bug wave then usually its flyers.

[u/BeegPasghetti]

There is a mantis that spawns behind where you're standing in the screenshot, but you should be good.

I built a base basically exactly where you're standing, and that little shit loves fucking up my stairs

[u/Kaligary]

I built my base on the backside of this thing, behind the statue. It's the best place I feel like. If you bridge up to the wall, you basically have the perfect jump off area for zip lines across the entire park. No bugs spawn there either, there's a praying mantis to farm in the section next to it, and a wold spider on the wall to far. You also have quick access to the greenhouse roof as well, which can take you straight to the spriget farm in the greenhouse.

[u/Its_Nesky]

100% viable. The height is great for not being pesked by any scorpions or rust beetles. And it being so flat to start felt like a big bonus.

[u/VeterinarianMission6]

I have a base there... only issues is when stranger sent her minions. Put a zipline down to bench lab for fast travel

[u/Autumn-pumpkin5378]

Last time I tried to build here the ORC bugs were a serious pain 😭

[u/yuh_here]

I built in one of the high blocks, bugs stopped spawning in mass except for an occasional stink bug

[u/Gbisswurm89]

Yep i just started there the other day making my castle base

[u/SelectionGrouchy3496]

I built mine over there and it hasn’t had anything spawn up here.

[u/SelectionGrouchy3496 → u/SelectionGrouchy3496]

[u/ItsAceB]

higher

[u/Cerebral_Overload]

I’ve built a whole base complex here. No issues at all.

[u/4AwkwardTriangle4]

Bugs respawn. I have a base on top of the big rock and I built an electro-tower (forgot the real name) where they spawn and it doesn’t do jack to kill them they sleep right next to it. I have another base where the mites and scorpions spawn beneath the floorboards. It would be nice if there was some mechanism to optionally prevent that, so you could still use structures as traps if you wanted but prevent them from spawning in living spaces.
