What does your setup look like?

[The_Dizzie]

I just started so I am curious to how others set up their base camps.

This is my second character on this map, about 70 days, I've moved all the berry bushes I found here, along with around 40-50+ grass and saplings. I am just starting up my farm since I cant find beefalo anywhere I've been using the pigmen. I started off at the very top of the map which is still the best place to find food. When ever I run low I go up there and kill rabbits at my first camp for a while.

Bottom is where there were a ton of spiders and rocks but I cleared out most of them and gotten a lot of stone, I've also been working on clearing the path I've been following so I dont set the forest on fire again >.>;

[LadyD]

I would watch out for those pigs.

[The_Dizzie]

are those gnomes!? >.> where can I get gnomes?

Also, yeah one just turned into a wear pig, I went to bed in my bed roll real fast and the other pigs came out and killed it, just gotta make sure all the piggies scoot off into the house before the full moon.

[LadyD]

Gnomes are in graves

So is the lying robot.

Here's my place

And to the left my bees

I've played twice since this episode, but it's pretty much the same set-up each time I play.

This is my main camp. I have another little one with a science machine to spam research points from a nearby cemetary but it's not worth showing. Next on my list is beehive camp like Fu's.

I like to make my camps on this grass patches crossed by paths that you sometimes encounter. It's more cozy.

[LadyD]

Very neat but also not lined up. Its rather crooked.

I do like the path subdivisions.

[Xacktastic]

I very much like it. My first big camp was like that, where the roads created subdivisions. Though, I Didn't consider it at the time! Hehe

Very neat but also not lined up. Its rather crooked.

I SWEAR they were aligned when I laied them at first. I made sure t have enough material for 3 turbos and then proceeded to create one, move ONLY left (with [A]), create a second one, move ONLY left about the same distance and create the third one. Same thing in the bottom row.

But somehow, sometime, they got crooked. I think it may has something to do with me rotating the camera around. I can't wait for the "destroy&pick up" funtion to come up and ix it

[cptCalavera]

Hmm, im not a big fan of all these neat, compact and lined up camps. I like mine to be more part of the nature surrounding it. Mish mashed, improvised, spread over a larger area. (not to large) Only thing I try to line up are chests. (And sometimes farms, depending on the rest of the campsite layout.)

Anyways, next build will be nice. To be able to move things, and test different looks without having to live with the result forever

wow this thread looks very intresting.. your builds inspired me, my next build will be awesome

[501105]

I am already changing my current camps with a new line of defense, 2 lines of big trees and 2 small entrances where the bee mines can be put. That way it should be better defended.

[NeedPants]

WE can continue old saves with the new patch? I was under the impression we have to start all over again, which is why i am currently spending 100% of my time on my treemaze since it needs to be finished by the time the patch comes!

[501105]

It depends on the patch, sometimes you need to make a new world to see all the content, but sometimes you dont have to. With the previous patch you could just continue on with your current world without missing anything..

[Toaster Fu]

It depends on if there's anything that is generated when you start a new world. If there is then you would have to restart to get it.

[Draugur]

I burnt it down later because I felt like moving and the extra charcoal was nice.

I ended up just killing my self on day 76.

[501105]

Nice camp there and one that is easily defendable. One thing I do notice is that lots of player dont have a tent in their camp somehow.

[GenHavok]

Wow some of your camps look very organized nice job.Like the garden gnomes in your picture LadyD. I like how Tetris like your setup is Toaster Fu.

[GenHavok]

A shame you burned it down, I like how it looked like a close encampment, though would be a hazard if a fire broke out Draugur.Speaking of which are there random fires if your camp fire gets to big?

[Marak]

Not the prettiest or most well-organized base, but hey... it's home now.

[EternalNinja0]

Well, this is mine. This is my second run at the game. First time I played I lasted around 8 days. I am at 18 currently. Still figuring stuff out, but I moved a lot of stuff around my base.

[CoolRanch]

I'll have to take some screenshots. Mine is normally a pretty smelly camp because I tend to set up shop beside the beefalos so I'm always having to clean up or stepping in crap.

[skazito]

Found a sweet spot next to Beefalos and a LOT of Jackalopes, sadly nothing more to explore

[Aerow]

Could not cover all of it cause it was the night and yes the colors in the image have been darkened.
