Setups

Where to drop the palbox, who to catch, how raids work, and when to walk into a tower.

Windswept Hills · First 30–60 minutes

Flat ground, room for beds and a berry line, statues nearby. Move once if you must — not four times.

Best for: New worlds that keep relocating the base for a nicer view

Windswept Hills · Hours 1–8

Kindling, watering, planting, mining, lumbering, transporting — dedicated Pals, food, and beds. Combat is a different roster.

Best for: Bases that look busy and produce nothing

Dessicated Desert · One statue-to-statue loop

Heat gear, water, a cooler Pal, Ultra-enough spheres. Unlock statues. Haul ore home. Do not move the only palbox yet.

Best for: Players who ran there in starter cloth and died to the heat bar

Any base · Each raid timer

Walls, a roof over production, a watch Pal, and world settings you actually chose. Legendary eggs do not live on the lawn.

Best for: Open-air crafting floors that lose the kiln every raid

Towers · One tower visit

Separate combat roster, type swap, food, and a gun or Pal skills you can use. Towers are Ancient Tech, not a side chest.

Best for: Parties that walk Zoe with the mining crew and a grey spear

Home base · Ongoing factory

Cake ingredients first, then the farm, then incubators at the right temperature. Breeding is a production line.

Best for: Players who built a breeding farm and then starved the ranch
