I've restarted a couple times. Just to learn the game really. And I tried making a base at first because that's what you can do. It got overwhelming fast. Eventually I restarted and I'm on my current run I'm doing so much better with a better grasp on the game.

This time I got a house in the city south of the Hub. Shrek? Lol idk, stupid scifi city names. Anyways so I had a couple people running the copper ore job nearby, and another doing lvl 1 research. Making cats and expanding minds. Eventually I needed lvl 2 research of course, but the damned thing doesn't fit in the long house. So I was forced to build a storm house up on the hill nearby, as close as I could to Squeak.

Research building with lvl 3 table, done. Oh no I need light. Windmill, done. Ceiling fan, done. Food storage, a bed, done done. All this time I also have people still doing the copper job and running to and from Snek to store it for sale...

Then I find a copper ore right next to my research building! Oh man. Ok. So now I need storage at the outpost so they can work efficiently. New building, done. Copper storage, done. Bandit raid, none of my crew died, done.

I know this is probably old hat for most people, but as a new player is a great feeling to organically start a settlement out of necessity instead of coolness. Cuz it'll be cool, but it also has needed function.

Alright, I just popped this communities cherry. How did your first real base start?

Sounds like a good start to me. If you're not happy with the location, I think you can relocate your main base if you have the time and patience to tear everything down and store the raw materials. You're in Shek territory if you're south of the Hub so expect them to stop by to demand tribute. Which to them means forcing their way to your food storage and stealing what they can. It's probably the easiest next to UC (which just want money).

I started my first base in Bast. Ended when I was raided by slavers (I accepted an escaped slave a few days prior).

My first raid was actually some ninja clan. They weren't Shek. The spot I picked is pretty bad, there's a bandit camp like right next door and thier pathing is going past my copper ore, so I'm probably going to relocate somewhere.

But that'll have to wait, enough of these city shenanigans! I'm off for adventure. Going to see what this 'great fortress' thing is south west of me.
