Choose a base area for your goal
Use the map to narrow the search area, then require the final spot to satisfy resources, travel, worker and buildability checks.
Production base: start with resources
Compare minerals, oil and wood inside the base radius, then confirm flat space, boundaries and respawn range on site.
Exploration base: start with fast travel
Shortlist areas near fast travel to reduce hauling and trips to bosses, dungeons and quests.
Automation base: choose workers first
Compare the highest work levels for kindling, watering, mining, lumbering, electricity, handiwork and transport.
