For those wondering , he is on Hard server whereby polluted zones are bigger in radius , normal server smaller radius and his base location will not be polluted if in normal server...
FYI purifications are bugged and enemies spawn at the level of the area, so if you do it in early area they can be level 5, yes, level 5 enemies with cortexes lvl 3 And if you do it in east Blackheart they can be level 57 so you can look at your base getting erased
I had the base setup there since the og servers were started and only had 2 neighbor but now when I moved in the same place I have like 10 of my neighbor. +now we have mutated crops so it's kinda a win win, but going in the center and having it before anyone was even there is a big win.
I actually built here season 1, but realized that oil (for stardust) was far more important than a place id go for 1h every other day for stardust, or to get acid, which can easily be gotten in other ways. Just traded 10k stardust for 25k acid today and wont need any more this season, meanwhile i make 9.6k stardust/day. just m 2c
I settled in that little curve of the river directly east of the POI leading to the delta. Half my base ( crafting / decorative ) is outside the pollution, but my crops and pumps are inside the pollution. I have access to clean water and polluted water and it's working pretty good so far. Unfortunately I don't need premium fuel, I need the lesser fuel to make stardust, but I've got super refinery so I can just turn acid into fuel if I need it.
There is a bug where purification mobs spawn based on area level. Thus if your base is in high level area, it will spawn high level mobs. Thus, it isn't that "hard", it just a bug that caused it to be hard. Mixed fuel is also more important as those can be converted to stardust source which you need for craft mutate fertilizer and AP ammo. If you managed to obtain the refinery golden spot, you could have deviant generators and run maximum pumps and super refineries to produce 3k mixed fuel everyday. With 3k fuels, you can also easily do a 1 to 1 trade with acid farmers. In contrast, acid spot can only get you 600-700 mixed fuels per day through super refinery. Not a lot of stardust sources to convert.
Additional note: Startrace ore are actually expensive right now, as there are so many people in hard servers that startrace ore nodes are actually harder to spot due to overmining. Which makes stardust mining platforms valuable than before.
Useful tips, especially farming acid via the brewing barrel. I can’t say the hard servers add anything to the game for me. They turn the enemies into bullet sponges, and just make certain logistics more of a pain.
Aloe is 2:1 ratio for acid and the farming method is much more energy efficient, than the water filter method, and can be done anywhere as you don't need polution ^^ but man do I hope they will add a water splitter/filter to the build menu, so we can seperate the types of water
By the way, the enemy levels during purification are based on the area and not the number of cortexes you use. So just have someone in the hive move their bases to the starting location and you'll be fighting lvl1 mobs on a 40 lvl3 cortex purification.
I used to have this spot early on in easy mode and was farming polluted water. However returned tonight and seems to be nerfed. Though I've learned from other comments wouldn't have mattered while still in easy mode!
Funny i just found this spot yesterday😅. Wanted an oceanside spot with corruption for acid, i went on the little land inside where u are, but the purification trick was nice! Will move alittle👍
I currently have my base there and get 90% dirty water and 10% acid, only worth it for the purification but that´s only once a week so will probably move to a different area soon to get actual acid
Had my base here last server, lots of acid and stardust and the death stranding particles going up is a plus. However I find myself needing oil more in general so I moved this server.
I'm on the area on a little bit at the top near the beach but my pump keeps producing sea water more than I get polluted water so I had to move near the forest instead. Is it much better at that specific location or the difference between Novice and Hard server? (My server is still at novice currently)
in my experience the little cove at the very top right has the highest pollution(on normal pve). its at 165. I bet on hard its still the highest if you wanted the higher pollution.
I'm walking around that second area and it tells me its polluted ... but I'm not getting any numbers on my backpack? edit: seems to have been a bug, I logged back in and it's showing numbers now
My base has always been on the water to the very left of map. But a voice keeps saying "Go no further". Kinda annoying. It is because I close to edge of map area.
Every time I try and purify it keeps saying 'territory monsters can't be refreshed, please try again in an open area' and I have A LOT of those finger islands in my territory, like 3x as much as you do
Doesn't matter if they are in your territory. What matters is what is at the exact corner point of your territory range. That exact square has to be land.
@@FormerRuling It was. I even had both the top right and top left being on land, along with the edges of the finger islands in the middle at the top and still wouldn't let me

oh that was my spot in novice server before I have to move to oil field like other cuz I got that oil processing perk to make stardust source in new server...
Tried that place. No matter how I tried to set up acid farm, for some reason my pumps pulled 80% dirty water and not polluted one. No matter where I placed them, on water or on land a bit away from water. Bummer.
They are the same. But they are seperate item stacks. So, it's good to farm both. So you can brew 2 stacks If you need to make a 1 or the other choice. Corn is more usefull when deviated. But it depends that food you eat
Hard farming for acid is a scam you'll never run out of it when u get a furnace with the proper buffs and getting them from other players is relatively cheap. The real reason you go to contaminated bases is to farm deviated plants.
The purifications aren't that hard... we have a hive of 4 and we do it without any turrets. We did the first one at level 30ish, with level 3 cortexes, and no issues.
crap he just exposed this little secret nice area now me and my neighbor will have new quests i guess lol ... there is one problem thou i duno about you ... water pumps here even on solid land they get 25% polluted water and 75% sea or dirty water .. or at lest that is in my case
Hey! I'm looking for some advice if possible, I have 21k starchrom and I currently run the aws.338 bingo with wildfire bp pistol build, but every video I watch people used different armor besides the old huntsman boots. I'm not sure if I should switch a build or what armor to buy atp. Thank you!
Near the end of last season, I bought wildfire to replace doombringer for marking, and I ended up using it as primary. Both crit and weakspot work, I assume that weapon damage would work as well. I was doing up to 60-70k+ damage per shot with lonewolf set on bosses with no so great mods for it. EX1 Pro boss for example, if friends were late for 1 red light in previous room, boss would be at half health when they reach it. It allowed us to farm EX1 in less than 3 minutes... While weakspot build will most likely provide highest numbers, I am not sure about actual DPS numbers (which is more important), because there are many conditionals for bonus damage and target dummies are bad for testing it. Crit set needs to get going only once, weakspot will drop half of the stacks when switching target and bastile requires crouch...
@@sakimpp7540 I don't use bingo since dps is low on snipers unless you exploit a bug. I used doombringer with 4 bullets for high burst when needed in last season (dual fury is probably better for this job).

I will keep experimenting with wildfire tho, since Bullseye seems to work all the time (modifiers etc.) unlike some other builds.
On normal server if you go just a lil south east of where his base is, that's a corrupted area. It starts on the beach and goes about halfway out. The meter is wonky here for some reason so you might need to relog for it to show the numbers on backback. Game will still say the pollution is on the rise or what not
been there for a couple of days by now. it is (was) a great unknown spot where people left the startrace ore alone, unfortunately most places with that ore are just overrun and farmed all the time that I think the platforms are actually a good thing to have
