Great selection and analysis of Lake Base Locations. Your #1 choice has been my favorite for several play-throughs; building on the broad end of the island. However, I always start off on the west side with a small base close to the 3 caves to get the Rope Gun, Shovel, and Ancient Armor after getting the Rebreather. Have often built a tree house with a small stockade around it at the Forest Crash Site or west of there between the two waterfalls close to a campsite and the Entertainment Bunker. After going through all the caves and bunkers and picking up all the special items on the West side, I move to the East side (Stopping at Maintenance C Bunker and the Pickaxe Cave on the way), and build my main base on the island in that largest lake. Then, I'll run ziplines in all four directions from the island (Ideally, if I arrive at the island in winter when the lake is frozen), and often build a small base on the shoreline cliffs that you mentioned where one of my ziplines reaches. From that base I run another zipline to the lake outlet to quickly get water in the winter when the lake is frozen. Anyway, it's always interesting to see what places other people recommend and for what reasons.
No surprise at number one. It’s clear of the rest. I do like number 5, it was the first one I built on from the beach starting location. I had a zipline system up from the beach to that lake. Worked nicely for all seasons. Winter is rough on the lakes but it’s manageable.
My fav 3 places near/on water are the 3 waterfalls gorge (close to the old plane crash and plenty of activity); the small lake/pond to the north with the small piece of land against the cliff edge and close to the 2 sailboats (never go hungry with all the moose and berries, all the wood, and close to 3 cannibal camps); and your number 3, though I did huge resource gathering and then built on the lake in winter. A note on the loot respawn, since V01 the toggle for the loot boxes is off and, if you want it on, you will need to change it when starting a new game.
First time I've seen anyone mention the 3 waterfall gorge. I didn't discover it for a long time until after many play-throughs and finishing the game several times. I found it to be very beautiful and easy to wall off the approaches to the area between the upper two falls. It was disappointing that the water between the falls froze in the winter and couldn't even get water from the falls that were still flowing. However, it wasn't too hard to run ziplines to the nearest running water.
I’ve built in the “beautiful” place and at raccoon lake, loved both spots, coincidentally my next build spot is your No. 1 spot. I wanted to take my time and build a village with food huts, armoury etc. my biggest wish with this game is more placeables like different furniture, side tables and baskets you can put things in like the original Forest. You know the big terracotta pots in the cannibal villages, I want those and the big fire pit things, imagine being able to roast a moose leg! I’ve played a lot of Medieval Dynasty and the placeables in that game are amazing, that’s what I’m missing.
on the east part of the island there is another great location to build, it is near cave with pickaxe i believe, the middle small lake just above waterfall doesn't freeze,...
I’ll have to check out that location. I don’t believe I’ve ever visited or paid too much attention to be honest to that side of the island. lol Thank you
Honestly, it’s pretty hard to say just about when you builders gonna be dangerous and active hahah unless you’re building on the ocean or a cliff face lol

Yeah, awesome location as well. I’ve helped friends build there before they loved it.

They’re all beautiful places. You can build almost anywhere this this island and it be amazing

All very true statements. number one location is probably the best in our opinion. Beautiful big area to build lots of options.
Yes please! Or at least let us put stuff on the tables!
All these locations are beautiful, I liked number 3 most, this game is gorgeous
It is a very beautiful location. I do enjoy it there as well.
Where it doesn’t freeze in winter, fish traps are often empty and fish are hard to find. Fortunately, Kelvin is usually able to catch fish.
Very good point. I forgot about kelvin fishing. Thank you.

I’ll have to check out that location. I don’t believe I’ve ever visited or paid too much attention to be honest to that side of the island. lol Thank you
My favorite is the coffin waterfall!!
Yeah awesome place too.
OK, another great video, BUT, where are the most "dangerous", active places to build?
Honestly, it’s pretty hard to say just about when you builders gonna be dangerous and active hahah unless you’re building on the ocean or a cliff face lol
You missed one of the best aspects on number 3. There are 4 rope spawns on sunken boats at the bottom of this lake.
Oh yeah, I forgot all about that. Thank you.
I love 2 and 3
Both excellent locations, particularly number three.
what is the command to be able to fly in the game?
We built at location 2, and we have so many cannibals coming to say hi:(
Beautiful location I’m thinking about doing a build there soon
@@ReactiveGaming86 You can remove the water on number 5, Just type in togglego Streams
Ok
Yep
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you buddy. Appreciate it as always.
