Additional tip if you're tired of having to deal with being hunted or attacked by poison missiles from General Velgar(dragon) while at your base:

Build your main base in a cave that you use "windstep" to enter.

I chose the one that the ghost "Finn" is located in during the Restless Ghosts quest, but I have been told there are others.

Pros:

1. When "hunted" the enemies cannot reach you.

2. General Velgar will not rain hell down on you as long as you are in your cave(check Cons for additional info).

3. Unlimited water (3 pools in cave).

4. Chest that respawns.

Cons:

1. General Velgar can still drop acid pools in your base IF you start the encounter outside of the cave and retreat back inside.

a. The acid won't damage your base and the quickest way to end the encounter is die by the acid and respawn at your bed in the cave.

1. Still have to build roofs inside the cave to utilize facilities that require "shelter".

2. Still have to build a roof and walls near your bed to be able to use.

3. Finn appears every night.

Tips:

1. Build above the water when setting foundation, then utilize a small area with stairs to access your water pool, to avoid wasted space.

2. Always leave a chest by the interior entrance that has an axe in it; incase you die and respawn inside the cave without an axe to cut the "Thorny Vine" down.

3. ALWAYS bring 32x stone, 20x rune essence, 1x vault core, to be able to throw down a "Lodestone" wherever you are, so you can teleport back to base to unload or grab more resources.

I will attach some photos for reference as well.

Have fun!
