Summary
InOnce Human, you take on the role of a meta-human and engage in intense combat against monstrous creatures using a variety of weapons and your meta-human abilities. One of the most striking features of this game is its base-building system, whichvarious players have utilized to showcase their marvelous virtual architectural skills. It is essential that you choose a location rich in water, food, and crafting materials like trees, copper, and ores.
The closer resources, the better it is for you to create new things. You can also relocate your base to a better locale of your choosing after you have built it. However, the game prevents you from building on roads, inside strongholds, or within other players' territories. Here are the best base locations in Once Human based on the protection they offer and the resources they provide.
7Deadsville
Deadsville often serves as a starting point for quests when you first start the game, so you might find specific quest items required for missions throughout the day. There is a river nearby with a reliable water source safe for drinking without having to boil it. You will come across plenty of deer within this location which provide a potential meat source, while theBlueberrybush offers a sustainable supply of plant-based sustenance.
You can also practice fishing by the river to supplement your diet. The presence of Tin, Sulphur, and Copper in the area is a boon for crafting and equipment upgrades. However, since this is a common area, it might attract other players within the server, which may lead to competition for resources or valuable building space.
You should seek to relocate from this area once you have advanced levels in the game to get better resources.
6Near The Ocean
The main advantage of building a base near the coastal region isthe plenty amount of salt that you can find here.Saltis a valuable resource for cooking and crafting, easily obtainable through seawater evaporation. There is a plentiful supply of water readily available, but you need to purify it through the water filtration system so that it can be safe for drinking.
These areas are also prone to inhabitation by rabbits, which you’re able to domesticate for food. Coastal areas can sometimes have deposits of iron and ores near cliffs or river mouths, which are crucial for crafting tools, weapons, and structures. Additionally, you can explore the coastal vegetation for plants that can be used for medicine.
5The Oil Field Near BlackFell
This is a mid-to late-stage base location whereyou can build a base on the east of BlackFell by the river. The primary resource you can find here is crude oil, which you can refine into large amounts of fuels and chemicals, essential for crafting tools, weapons, and armor. Due to the industrial nature of the oil fields, you can expect to find a variety of metal ores, often in larger quantities than in other areas.
The abandoned machinery and structures in the oil fields can be salvaged for scrap metal. BlackFell is located near a water source, which serves as a great spot where you can gather food and collect seawater. The major issue you may encounter here is a higher presence of wildlife, so you will need to build defenses around the base.
4Cliffs Near Chalk Peak
Cliffs are often found near forests and water, although accessing the cliff and building a stable base can be challenging due to the steep terrain. There are a ton of minerals such as metal ores, crystal formations, and clay deposits in these areas. The unique cliffside environment might host specific plant life with medicinal or crafting properties.
Also, depending on the cliff’s ecosystem, you might find birds or small animals nesting there. On the other hand, you need to be more careful because you might be attacked more often by enemies. You can defend yourself bybuilding walls and turretson the sides of the base.
3Any Pollution Zone
Contrary to what you may think, these zones are worth setting up your base in, especially when you are in the mid-to-late game. They are characterized by their toxic environment and the remnants of industrialization. Building a base in this area comes with plenty ofAcidwhich you can use to create better gear.
Some pollution zones have unique Flora that have adapted to the toxic environment, offering medicinal resources. Establishing a base within these zones allows you to efficiently acquire this acid after you put upWater Pumpsand purification systems strategically around the area you are occupying.
2The Base Under The Bridge
This bridge can be accessed in the mid-game inside the Broken Delta. Building a base in this location gives you access toSulfur,Copper Ore, andTin Oredeposits. The location’s proximity toHighbanks and Hearst Industriesoffers you the opportunity to acquire rare loot and crafting materials.
There is also a river below the bridge which provides a steady amount of water supply. However, this area is relatively small compared to other locations, and it is easily crowded by other players who have built a base already. Given its position, the base might be vulnerable to attacks from different angles, so it is important to set up more defense systems if you choose to set up here.
1Near Teleportation Towers
The main advantage of building a base near Teleportation Towers is the easy access to other parts of the map allowing efficient resource gathering, trading, and exploration. These towers often attract players and traders, creating trade opportunities if you choose to build your base here.
You will find some scattered resources like iron, wood, stone, and basic plants likePumpkinandCorn. Water is not an issue because majority of these towers are often found near rivers or lakes. In this base,teleporting to specific locations likeChalk Peak or Blackfell can provide access to a variety of crystals for crafting advanced equipment.
