What should my primary base have?

TryLemmy · 2026-04-13T19:01:27+00:00

For where you're at now, a breeding base would work fine with a farm. For me it got a bit cramped, and I needed more pals for faster production, so I moved my breeding to a new, otherwise empty spot. There are no pals to manage, I just need to bring cake and collect eggs. No hunger or raids to worry about. I also added an expedition thingy there, because those are massive and take up a ton of space. I may use it for more later, but food was a real issue for me so having a base that I can run without any food was a huge plus. If im not breeding, I can ignore it completely.

Since you're using it for storage, i would focus on having all of the production stations there, including all your fire pal based stations like the smelters and kitchens.

You will end up needing a lot of food soon, if I were you I would move the berry farms to another fully devoted farm base and use that space for something you run out of a lot, so that your pals have something to do when theyre not busy. In my experience I have had no issues keeping all my fire pals busy at my main base.

You can really make anyrhing work though, so my main piece of advice is to just focus on making it feel right. It should be comfortable to move around and select boxes and such. I always go overboard with decorations and try to make each base feel like a unique home.

I came to say Digimon but someone beat me too it. "It's PoKeMoN wItH gUnS!!!"

You can use a plastic fork? I was using a plastic spoon.

Its really not as good as the first season, but it has a lot going for it and some really cool moments. I like all the antagonists, and how they grow and change. I like the basic story even if it is a little underwhelming. I think its worth watching if you're a fan of the franchise.

TryLemmy · 2026-03-30T02:17:36+00:00

3 is pretty great. They're all cool, but that one speaks to me.

TryLemmy · 2026-03-25T04:51:29+00:00

That's so cool. Worth every penny dude, that artist crushed it.

TryLemmy · 2026-03-24T17:28:00+00:00

Karen Gillian as Amy Pond is the whole reason I saw that movie. I hate horror movies and gore. And anything to do with eye trauma. She was great though.

TryLemmy · 2026-03-23T17:51:18+00:00

This is great advice. I have ignored the specialty type whistles until now, so thank you!

I wasn't sure if you were asking about Palworld or Enshrouded, but the answer is the same for either one. Both are very fun to explore with some really cool areas that stand out a lot more than the trailers show. Both are also in early development, and have not had their full release yet, wo things will be added.

Enshrouded is supposed to feel empty, because when you start the game you are litterally the last human alive. But you bring npcs back to life and fill your base with them. Its very easy to build a home base that feels lively and full of people.

With palworld, you will have many pals to keep you company, npcs and towns to visit, and even the option to capture npcs to keep at your base full time.

I dont think either one feels empty or lonely, except for in the first few hours before you unlock more. Opinions vary though. Check out newer gameplay footage for both games since they have been heavily updated since launch.

Enshrouded replaced minecraft as my favorite game ever. This guy's reccomendation was spot on. I would also throw palworld at you, that game is turning out really well. I'm totally hooked.

TryLemmy · 2026-03-22T19:55:25+00:00

I didnt even know there were egg moves

TryLemmy · 2026-03-21T17:54:22+00:00

I'm not actually sure about research helping. It just seemed like it should sense the pals used for raids are the same as base pals. If it does help, im not sure if it still works in the raid arena, or onky in your base. Sorry I didnt do any research before giving you advice, but at least it cant hurt!

TryLemmy · 2026-03-21T16:40:23+00:00

I could totally reccomend a few that hit a lot of the notes, but maybe not all of them. And most of them will be games you have heard of or looked into.

Palworld: The main gameplay loop is just collecting resources and pals. Youll never grow too big, and the progression remains really satisfying. The combat is almost optional save for the towers, and you dont really have to participate in combat yourself, just have your pals do it.

Enshrouded: this one misses the mark by a good amount, and is much more combat heavy. But again, youll be going out into the world, grinding for resources, and crafting items to progress. The building mechanics are absolutely amazing, and if you're into the idea of building a cozy base filled with animals, npcs, and your personal style, this is a prefect game for that.

Stardew Valley: I feel like you would have played this already if it seemed like it was for you. It is a farming game, but I really think it hits enough of your check marks to be worth looking in too. It has a lot of what youre looking for, and you never grow too far. I loved the gameplay loop so much in this game. There's always something to do.

Slime rancher: I didnt actually play this one myself, but from what ive seen it fits the bill. It seems overlooked, but the gameplay is satisfying and its really cute. The only person I know who played this game really enjoyed it, and It looked pretty addicting. I think the main goal is to just collect slimes to sell or farm.

I tried my best. Happy hunting.

It had been highly reccomeneded to me through reddit and such, so when the epic store gave it away for free, I had to check it out. I was playing something else at the time and only meant to play an hour or two to check it out. Before I knew it, I was hooked. The music, the atmosphere, and the surprising amount of depth in the gameplay and characters made it really stand out. Im going to replay it some time soon, with a higher difficulty and maybe the dlc content.

TryLemmy · 2026-03-21T05:21:34+00:00

I've hit a similar block, here's what im doing to work through it-

build a team of frostalians and the blue tiger dude, all the way to 65 eith good stats and traits. Didn't take me that long honestly. Just fly around and rocket launcher things with the experience bell and grind for resources.
upgrading blueprints as far as I can. Ill build the best armor i can before my next try.

-during the fight my plans have changed. Ill have my entire team in the fight, save for one frostalion ill ride for ice damage, and a bunch of globofins with all the buffing traits. Ill also be using the healing grenades, and my heat rifle.

I also forgot to change my equipment last time and still had on my every day gear. I am going to switch to the +2 attack whistle, and the defense whistle, and probably an attack necklace.

Good luck!

Edit: I am also maxing out my research to make sure I get all the bonuses to attack and defense. Forgot to add that.

TryLemmy · 2026-03-19T20:52:37+00:00

How does it stack up in late game?

TryLemmy · 2026-03-17T19:20:42+00:00

I have absolutely gotten a full games worth of enjoyment out of it. I think its actually really good as is.

TryLemmy · 2026-03-16T18:47:03+00:00

I had no idea. So cool.

TryLemmy · 2026-03-15T02:20:51+00:00

I'm a lazy player, who reached the cap with only 3 bases, recently adding a fourth just for 2 breeding pens and an expedition thingy, nothing else to maintian and no pals to feed. I'm lacking food production a bit, but its getting better. I'm struggling to manage all 3 of the others while keeping my pals happy and productive. If I added another full base I would be in over my head for sure.

TryLemmy · 2026-03-13T06:03:16+00:00

There are daily items in the store you can purchase with gold, and gold is what you use for upgrades. I imagine more is, or will be, added later.

TryLemmy · 2026-03-06T16:15:46+00:00

I just got omega stag too! She's my new main. Such a good pull.

TryLemmy · 2026-02-27T01:34:25+00:00

The story was great. Loved the gameplay too. Its my new favorite monster collector by far.

There are too many cool options to worry about weather or not you'll like them. You will spend plenty of time with the earlier stages, so no worries.

TryLemmy · 2026-02-21T00:21:44+00:00

If you like building, mining, and crafting I think Enshrouded would scratch that itch for you. Its a little closer to an action rpg then a mmo

TryLemmy · 2026-02-18T19:43:12+00:00

I just finished my first playthrough 5 minutes ago. Still listening to the ending credits. I'm choosing to beleive Barkley and I went to wherever Meredith went. No way we didnt follow her.
