  • The Planet Crafter: Best Base Locations Guide
  • 5. Dune Desert
  • 4. Sulfur Fields
  • 3. Caves
  • 2. Aluminum Hills
  • 1. Meteor Crater

By now, you already know that finding a good base location in The Planet Crafterย is quite the ordeal. While you don’t have the usual zombie-filled wasteland like in other games of the genre, many dangers can makeย your space-terraforming lifeย challenging unless you have a place to call home. And if you’re unsure where to settle down, we have the best locations for your main base inย The Planet Crafter.

The Planet Crafter: Best Base Locations Guide

Finding the best base location in The Planet Crafter is quite challenging. There are several factors you need to take into consideration. Some places might offer you a pile of materials ripe for picking, while others might be closer to some coveted wrecks. If you’re unsure which place to pick, here are the areas we consider the best to make your space home.

5. Dune Desert

The Dune Desert, an extensive biome rich in minerals such as Ice, Silicon, Iron, etc, is strategically located. Its proximity to the landing site of the Central Plateau and its connections to many important areas of the game, including Labyrinth Canyons, The Highlands, Sand Falls, and more, make it an ideal base location. The diverse resources available here will facilitate your base’s construction and enhance your ability to improve planetary conditions, making you well-prepared at all times.

4. Sulfur Fields

The Sulfur Fields, a necessary location to make more sophisticated machines such as Biodome and the jetpack, as well as for creating Biolab recipes, is a practical choice for resource farming. With a deposit of sulfur readily available, you can focus on other aspects of the game. Its proximity to the Dune Desert, Sand Falls, the Osmium tunnel, and Steep Hill ensures easy access to other materials, making this location resourceful and efficient for traveling between biomes.

3. Caves

In The Planet Crafter, significant deposits of specific resources are scattered all over the map, and creating your base near one of these locations is one of the best ideas. Osmium, Iridium, Uranium, Pulsar Quartz, Zeolite, and Super Alloy caves exist. Placing in an Ore Extractor and making your base self-sustaining will guarantee the flow of minerals without you wasting time searching the map for them.

2. Aluminum Hills

Aluminum is not a resource you will find all over the map, but that doesn’t mean it is scarce; you must know where to look. However, you can find aluminum in crates, wrecks, and some mines, especially in Aluminium Hills. This biome is another area close to the Dune Desert, so if you are exploring this dry biome, you will quickly distinguish these hills because they are full of shiny rocks and darker soil. Having a base in this location is necessary to have a source of aluminum, which is very useful for crafting machines T2 and other valuable mechanisms like beacons.

1. Meteor Crater

This is another one of the landing sites in the game. When you start playing The Planet Crafter, it is a deep and rocky area. However, it has a giant Iridium rock at the bottom. As you advance in the terraforming process, the crater changes its orange color to a green full of vegetation, and the crater fills with water. This crater has access to the Zeolite Cave, the Pulsar Quartz Cave, the Osmium Cave, and a waterfall, making it the best location for your base in The Planet Crafter.

These are the best biomes to get resources and expand, but around the map, you will also find bunkers or spaceships, and I recommend establishing a base near them. These areas are the best wayย to access other resourcesย like microchips, rocket engines, seeds, and aluminum. While we’d all love to have just one place to call home, having many is recommended. After all, you need to make a few pit stops for some oxygen, right?
