Skin Bandits in my experience won't bother you until you visit their nest to the south but then they'll send invasions. The native enemies in this area are Reavers and Land Bats you only really need to worry about the Reavers since they have high stats (40 - 50+) and will kidnap you after you fall unconcious. This zone is what I would consider an end game zone and will be very difficult if you're under prepared. I would only recommend this location to people who have a full Squad of 20+ characters with all characters having stats in the 40s - 50s. In this area you will also find a terrace which has an Iron deposit on top and only a single entrance to the terrace making it an amazing location in terms of natural defenses. Also, depending on where you build your base you may have more or less Iron and Copper nodes within your walls than I did.

Depending on where you build your base it's possible to have both the Greenbeach and Stobe's Garden Environment characteristics allowing you to grow more than just Arid crops here. This area is actually the border of 2 zones, Stobe's Garden and Greenbeach. Stobe's Garden/Greenbeach Megabase LocationĮnvironment: Green 100% and Arid 50% (Greenbeach) and Arid 100% Stobe's GardenĮnemy Attacks: Crab Raiders, Reavers, Skin Bandits Howler's Maze Base Location Youtube Video However if you're 'at' your base as the enemy raid approaches they'll take damage from acid rain. Basically, if the game doesn't have the environment around your base loaded then there will be no acid rain. In my experience if you're away from your base with another Squad then the acid rain will not damage any enemy units (or your own). The acid rain can also be useful to you against incoming base attacks. Items like Iron Hats, White Plate Jacket, Armoured Hood, Dustcoat, Black Plate Jacket and more will give you protection against Acid and are extra useful in this zone. One of the biggest draw backs to this zone is it will have periodic acid rain throughout the day this is only really an issue when you first start a base here though - assuming that you have no acid protection. You'll be able to grow any plants that do well in a Green Environment here as well as some Arid Environment crops at lower yields. The location I chose for my base has 4+ Iron Nodes and 4 Copper Nodes along with decent fertility. Howler's Maze is a pretty out of the way zone that doesn't experience many base attacks or enemy attacks. Other: Decent out of the way base that typically doesn't see many base attacks South Wetlands Base Location Youtube VideoĮnemy Attacks: Slave Traders, Crab Raiders, Reavers In my personal experience these events have a very hard time reaching your base due to the fact that your base is pretty much on an island and around many hostile patrols of enemies. The only two events that will bother you are the UC Tax Man (asks for some Cats each week) and slave raids.

What makes this location so good (imo) is the safety of it. This location is completely devoid of Copper and there's only a single Iron deposit nearby but it's a short swim across some water. If all you care about is building up a farm for food and you'd like a safe location to do it - one of my favorite locations to make a farm base is in the South Wetlands. Other: This spot is good for a small farm unit for making food Also, most of Kenshi is Arid anyway and there are already many on this page.Įnemy Attacks: Slave Raids and Swamp Raptors if you grow crops I did not include any Arid Environment locations on this page since all you can really grow there is Cactus and they're not used for much. Locations that have good Environmental values as well as solid Fertility and Water are the primary ones that have made the list on this page. This page includes a list of all the different base locations that I consider to be great for farming. List of Great Farming Base Locations - Kenshi
