I just started, but as long as the chests or pallets are in your base (the same Hearth) your stations will draw rsses from said chests and pallets, dont necessarily HAVE to be nearby or right next to where you're crafting, all that does is help you keep track of where you're stuff is at, but if it doesnt work for you organizationally, theres no reason to lock yourself to it EDIT: finished the video, the rest of the tips are awesome even if the last one is subjective for ascetics (though I agree with you and do the same) also I love your base and its where I was planning on making my own base next (rn I just took a house at the bottom of Moria, and built off of that, its nice and pretty, but its starting to get... crowded, and I was decided between which of the two (that I have unlocked, as I only started this game 2 days ago) great forges to build in, I love the look of elven structures but the belegost great forge was closer to my work, either that or because I'm about to ascend to the next area (all I need to do is find the library and I have the entire area explored except for one branch off path, so I'm pretty much there) I already have the black diamonds and all that to move on even, so I was thinking of waiting until I unlocked the 3rd forge, or even Durins tomb, just cause its really pretty and there's some kind of Durin Magics that keep the orcs out, no idea if that'll keep raids or anything out, but at the very least we probably wouldn't have any patrols but your base has inspired me that I should go with my gut, or maybe not, I'm still not quite sure, I've rambled on a LOT, sorry about that, I just wanted to say I really liked your base Edit 1.5: I also considered the great drain area, but this is a little Edit 2: forgot to mention this, but I'm pretty sure you CAN go to bed so long as the hunger bar isn't 100% bottomed out, now I could be wrong about this, but I'm fairly certain you can go to bed until you get the "starving" effect, which is when you start taking damage (again I am not 100% sure on that information) Edit 3: just returned here, from watching all the other parts, and me and my brother figured out most if not all of that on our own, see you on the advanced tips Edit 4: just remembered a tip for you, I don't know about later in the game, but in the lower depths (following the pilgrimage path to Durins tomb, there is an orc encampment there, well orcs on this level have a small chance to drop black diamonds, so what me and my brother did was we set up a small fortress next to the orc town and left the flags (the orc spawners) in tact and have been using those orcs to farm black diamonds, you can get like 7 in a full run if you're lucky (maybe more maybe less, we've only done a few runs of the camp) the only thing to be weary of is accidently breaking the flags, as long as you have at least 1 flag though you should be fine, but it may just be a little slower (also maybe a little easier) so adjust the flags to your and your parties level and be careful. Another thing is that you can take your pickaxe to the orc chests and break them for everything they have inside though it may take a little bit longer than breaking the flags, having a farmable orc spot like this can be really helpful. you can also do the same to spider spawners for natural fibers, though I feel like you dont need this nearly as much and have not done this myself as I havent really found a need for it. Edit 4.5: its about 0-5 black diamonds per flag roughly Edit 5: another good tip for people would be to make sure to build the lore-shelves (even if you dont have very many) and to fill them out Edit 6: I was wondering how the treasure hoards actually worked? got the last and largest pile of money and maxxed out its storage on gemstones and its still the lowest tier "Hoard-fierce" but I think I remember there being a hoard of gold that gave me a larger bonus out in the world "Hoard-wrath" I think, so I'm not really sure how that works, any insight on the specifics would be nice, thank you in advance
your base is the most beautiful base I have seen thus far... and all of your tips are soooo helpful! Im just starting this game and I am truly enjoying it now with your tips it will make my life easier lol.. also can you please do a full base tour..??
@moniqueholmes7416 have you built foundations so it is raised off the ground? This to my knowledge stops them spawning inside as it can't spawn inside foundations.
@@joshuaorionrussellorionthe5276 yep did that as soon as I seen your message and it worked... thank you!! They kept spawing in the back corner by the broken stairs. Not anymore!!! Thank you so much...

Edit 2: forgot to mention this, but I'm pretty sure you CAN go to bed so long as the hunger bar isn't 100% bottomed out, now I could be wrong about this, but I'm fairly certain you can go to bed until you get the "starving" effect, which is when you start taking damage (again I am not 100% sure on that information)

@moniqueholmes7416 Thank you legend!!! Glad I could help :)
Base tour - What a brilliant idea 💡
Il get right onto it! 🖖😎 where have you made a base?
@@joshuaorionrussellorionthe5276 Elven Quarter.. butttt the only issue is all the animals keep spawing inside. And I don't know how to stop them.

Wow
Are you serious? Pallets and chests? Those aren't tips. That's basic game mechanics. L video.
