After you complete the game’s introductory, your flying companion V should drop you on the game’s map. To build your base in Once Human, press B, and you have to place the Territory Terminal when it’s green.
While you can build your base almost everywhere in Once Human’s map, specific restrictions exist where the terminal will appear red, and you’ll get an error message. For example, you cannot make your base too close to the roads, or you will get hit by the ‘structure cannot be built near a stronghold’ error, and you need to move away from it. You cannot create your base too close to other players’ bases, so you must find an isolated area to start your journey. To avoid that, move away from the red structures while placing the terminal and set it when it’s green.
You should consider a few things while setting up your base. Firstly, a nearby water source should be crucial for your survival as you will need to quench your thirst to avoid getting dehydrated. Moreover, ensure a steady supply of rare minerals like sulfur near your base, saving you the early trips to find the minerals.
Currently, you can have only one base on the map, and it should be there until the next server wipe, after which you’ll need to restart your journey in Once Human.
