I think i have only seen 1 person who built 1 base on the orange leaves. Those are pretty much safe from all the land pests. I’d rather use the Leaf near the base ball then the baseball. You build it a couple stories and you have quicker access to land above… my favorite leaf is near the grill. If you go up the upper ascent keep hading back to the next wall. There is an orange leaf that will take you too the next height. That leaf and the platform above is probably the best location mid/late game.
I built one inside the hedge....the empty interior parts. You can build a staircase from the porch up to and through the white window ledge to access it. Huuuuge area to work with, just need to start with flooring off the wood parts. Absolutely 0 raids. Best after telepotty acquired. Also have a mini impenetrable outpost in the molar container in the upper yard where the 5 molars spawn.
I’ve definitely heard the hedge is a great power spot once you have that teleporter. Especially against raids and just being secure against all threats. That mole spot is great as well. I plan to feature that base location in a future base video 😀
I built my base inside the giant stone pagoda in the corner of the koi pond...Probably overall my favorite little place to build one. Nothing can really get you over there except flying insects when they raid and the crow lands on top alot and drops plenty of feathers in the water if and when you want to craft arrows.
Just started the game and my instinct was to build on top of the baseball lol. Perched on that stick killed two ladybugs already, used around 100 arrows.
Nice. Having the high ground is always an instinct I feel like 😂 also nice work on the ladybugs. I would suggest to gather some more thistles and make 5 spikey clubs. It only takes 5 thrown spiky clubs to the ladybugs dome and they splat. Just retrieve the clubs when you’re done and re use them for next time 😀
@@Trollgernautt yeah of course. Yeah you can throw every melee weapon and it deals more damage than a standard attack, but then you have to find wherever it lands lol 😂
@@ChaosBearGamingstand close to whatever you want to attack, throw the spikey club with a downward angle and then spam E, you’ll catch the club right after you throw it so you can keep doing it over and over
@@ilikesnow8146 that’s a very nice tip. Thanks for sharing that. I knew that worked with spears, however I hadn’t considered that for the spiky club. I will have to give it a try 😀
Building on top of the Brawny Boy Bin keeps everything away in terms of raids. If you turn the sandcastle into a fortress, nothing can get in because of the moat. Just lay the first floor higher up from the ground to keep the antlions from damaging the floor. Another great place is the corner of the porch next to the hedge.
I definitely keep hearing about the Brawny bin. It’s seems to be a community favorite. I didn’t know about the sandcastle though, I will have to check that out. Thanks for sharing that. Also yes that porch is a great spot once you get some good zip lines set up 😀
during every Playthrough my first base always starts above the mysterious machine. By building up above it, I avoid a lot of issues When it comes to raids. Also, there is plenty of food around.
I hadn’t really considered that locations Can creatures not climb up onto the machine? It definitely sounds interesting and is basically the middle of the map so resources are all around.
@@ChaosBearGaming every once in a while, you’ll get an ant or two. Other than that they don’t really go onto the mysterious machine. I always just build stairs about three stories high and use the scaffold and higher tier walls for protection from collapse.
I have my whole storage system part of my base in the glitched spot in the hedge it’s impossible to get raided inside and it has the most amount of room if u want a Secure base the only problem is it’s hard to get too and not very new player friendly to get to , but a goated place for a raid proof mega base (its helpful if u have teleports but not impossible). Oh and as a cool side note u can see the broodmother lair from the other side of it meaning u can make a base on top of the brood lair I have never done it but could be fun
I’ve definitely seen that base online, but I’ve never tried building there. That’s crazy you can build directly above her lair 😂 i am sure it’s got the best raid security by far lol. I’ve definitely seen people get stuck in there lol. Which is why I think the teleporter makes sense.
Yes that one’s awesome. That one is already recorded for my next best base location video. Just currently working on a grounded 100 days video first then will be working on getting out that next video 😀 definitely a great spot, thanks for bringing it up.
@@ChaosBearGaming You did, and i was looking for a more spacious option but i guess that's the only one that is completely immune. I was also thinking it wasn't totally immune due to some flaw i was initially missing but seeing you confirm it made me happy. I've been looking for a new spot to move to ever since a wolf spider visited me on the lilypads.
@@ChaosBearGaming Also, another spot worth noting might be the castle at the picknick table. As long as you roof and wall it off the bees should leave it alone and the ground floor is essentially immune to ground raids if they do occur since the castle itself is part of the map. It's very spacious, looks very nice, and is also high up meaning ziplines are probably not too hard to setup from there. There is a constant supply of free spawning food and fertilizer as well as 2 drops of juice a day, wood chips, rust, and salt as well. Also, it's one of the few places that wolf spiders will never path too i've noticed by tracking them with the scanner. The major downside will be the difficulty of getting enough resources up there to build a nice base and also pissing off the bees, and lastly it not being totally immune to ground attack as there is a VERY tiny opening in the front. I don't think large bugs will be able to get in, but that will need to be tested, but it is definately a choke point to aid with defenses. Setting up 2 rows of palisades should be plenty of defense for this sole ground weak point. If you go new game plus, or unleash the infection then it is also worth noting this base is fairly vulnerable to explosive attacks such as the IWS's explosive shot. You'll want to reinforce the walls especially if you go into new game plus and start seeing infused enemies as well. I think it is good for consideration as a end game main base.
@@oceanbytez847 I’ll definitely need to check that out. Someone else mentioned the castle at the table to me as well. Without all the details of the defenses,but it definitely seems like multiple people think it could be a solid spot. I appreciate you bringing that.
I remember my first home, inside one of the soda cans, thinking the metal would work as a good basic wall, only needing a gate to keep shut. It worked well, except I had a ton of spiders patroling around it, both night and day, plus it was actually possible for the wolf spider to glitch through the metal roof, which broke a lot 😂
Yeah, they can indeed be somewhat fragile. That's why I find the one in the water to be particularly effective, as spiders are unable to enter the water, and the milk molar container offers more durability compared to the cans. However, in my opinion, the sewer location remains the most reliable option.
Definitely the baseball as a starter base. I have another grounded base video on the channel. It’s got 15 more locations on it. I would see if any of those stand out to you. There is also a few great early game spots in that video as well 😀
I built my first base on the stumps near the can under the tree!!! It was super sucker but me and my friend had ant eggs in one of our chest, so we went to sleep and they hatched!!! We hit them to kill them but we couldn’t hit them, they were in an awkward position to hit them!! We hit our walls on accident and the whole base broke!! 😂😂😂 we just reloaded the save file!!
Oh my godsh that’s insanely bad luck, but also kind of funny. We all have those moments where we question whether our actions were a good choice lol. Glad you could reload the save 😀😂
@@ChaosBearGaming that’s crazy and would be a cool base idea!!! Also, whenever me and my friend were playing, we had just finished knocking down the wasps nest so that we can get into the browny boy bin once we went to sleep the cut scene played and after we had beat the wasp queen we went back to base we heard the sirens ring, and a raid started. It was a raid of wasp. Our base got destroyed so we decided to build a tree fort instead.
@@CalebEdenfield yeah someone else mentioned to make a base video in an end game playthrough because those wasps pop up and ruin a whole lot of babes lol
Oh that’s a great call out. I thought they were across the water. Thank you for sharing that. I’ll Make sure to trigger the few events that take place to ensure I can see those for next base video.
You place a pallet just outside on the ground and it will be close enough that you can pull for it to Build a ramp and a few ceilings inside. If you want to use stems and planks that it is. You can also build the pieces outside then re locate them to inside. It’s a little tedious but it should work. I’m you’re using things like mushrooms then they can either just be in your inventory or you can relocate a chest inside onto a pre existing ceiling. Then just build by pulling from the chest.
@@Special_gamer2007 honestly it’s been a few months since I made this video so I am not sure. But also for speed boost you can look to get the trinket from aphids. You basically just need to keep killing aphids with either the sticky fingers trinket equipped or the rascal rogue mutation and it will give you another 10% move speed bonus.
That base location is on the bottom right of the shed area. You will see the brawny bin to your right. It’s fairly close to the Jamatic. It was supposed to be a longer video with 10 more base locations but I ran out of time. But I usually make thumbnails before I start the editing process. I will be making another base video where it’s included in the future, just currently working through a few other projects first.
So originally it was supposed to be a top 20 best base locations, but due to other obligations that took up my time, I didn’t have enough time to make the video that big, so I cut the video in half. That location was in the second half of the video. But I typically always make my thumbnails before I make my video, so that’s why it wasn’t included. So the next video will include it. But basically go to the Brawny Bin, then to the far right, on the side of it you will find an elevated area with that research station. I built up walls all around the edges because there is a wolf spider that patrols there at night. But being elevated up high and with the walls it never bothers me. You have quite a bit of space to work with if you block off enough of an area 😀
Let me know what you think of part 2 of the best bases in grounded. I am currently working on part 3 now 😀
# 3 was super cool! I love little cozy defendable/underground bases.
I've never seen anyone build there, thank you!
Yeah of course, I am glad you liked it 😀 it’s definitely one of the best bases for not getting raided.

Haha that’s awesome. Hopefully this one had a new one that you liked 😀
My buddy built a base on top of the stone center piece in the pond. It's perfect for making zips to every point in the yard
I will have to check that out. Thanks for sharing that.
I built in a milk molar bottle in the upper yard, there’s a tunnel to get to it by the lid so it’s impossible for raids
Yeah that’s an amazing location. I got that one recorded and ready for for my next base video 😀
Great video. I just have to remind you though, there is no X in especially. 🙂
Thank you I really appreciate it 😀 whoops, I promise I can spell….however apparently I can’t check my work 😂😂
