- Hey y'all, welcome to my (most recent) 1st video on RUclips land! I truly appreciate you stopping in to check it out, even if only for a quick glance.
Today I'm just showing you krazy kids what I think are the best couple of locations for your home bases in Abiotic Factor. Obviously, this is all relative, and you should play how you see fit. That's what makes games like this so awesome. But, IMHO, these base spots are the shizzle. Fo rizzle.
I know it's a lot to ask, but if you enjoyed this video in any way (or hated it, I'm not picky), leave a like/comment/subscribe to help me out! I'm a noob at this content creation stuff, but I'm an OG who's been gaming for many decades. The more interactions I get, the more I'll post fresh content. Ask any questions you want and I promise I'll respond. Very few followers and plenty of time are on my side....for now.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy the vid!

![ALL WATER LOCATIONS in the Entire Facility [ABIOTIC FACTOR GUIDE]](/img/1.gif)
the literal best place is the Security Checkpoint on lvl 2. I dont know why others dont mention it, or choose to ignore it. It has nearby water, is right next to Maintenance entrance, lockable doors, bathroom, insane natural storage, recharging station, coffee machine, stupid amounts of floor space, only one entrance to defend (2 tesla turrets and 6 cem walls and ur good to afk defend), sockets in every corner of the place, as well as a sec bot spawn outside to deal with entities/farm. crazy good and nothing in the current game comes close.
Sounds like a pretty decent spot!
I may have simply glazed past it while I was exploring. Or something didn't feel as cozy as there above the aquariums for me.
@@bigkidBAM im just big angry that I never see it spoken of lmao, my home and heart for my playthru. peep it sometime, even has a zipline!
@@skylermeade Fo sho! 😏Next time I'm back in AF, I'll swing by and do a little compare and contrast. I still haven't decided if I want to start a new playthrough now or wait until they release some big updates.
@@bigkidBAM by far the best is security checkpoint 2, me and my buddies made our hold up there and you don't even need defense which is crazy. The button locks down all of the room and nothing can open it up. The zipline like he mentioned is crazy broken as it just opens the map for you and we put our beds next to it.
@@HarmfulGapple I'll definitely be checking it out on my next playthrough!
One of the best places I've found is the lobby area right near the elevator to Silo 3. It has a lot of room, it has several entrances, and it has relatively easy access to every place in the game once you unlock them all. It also isn't far from the tram station. Enemies only really come from one direction; from the data farm, so it's easy to set up some adequate defenses to counter that. It's a really good spot for a base that I don't really hear anyone talking about.
@@SlickViper check out my guide on infinite water locations. I showcase that area (if it'sthe one I'm thinking it is), since it's not too far from a decent water source!
The best place I’ve found is right in that starting area to the left of the tram with the boarded up tunnel and glass room. It’s close to the tram and several different directions you can go and is extremely centralized. It has lots of room, plugs, only one real direction where enemies come from so you can set up defenses easily and once you open the door you have a little garage area too where you can pull the car out
I was considering setting down a permanent base now that i've explored the labs a bit, the location near the aquarium was my top choice as well. Currently I'm set up in the area right above the blacksmith in manufacturing west, also really close to the tram station, as far as defenses go it's great, enemies can't access through the vent, and i don't think humanoids have the ability to use ladders yet so the need for defenses is basically none besides whatever you need to survive a rift/portal storm. I would say the drawbacks are that the infinite water source is in front of the garage so it's likely you'll have one or two order members giving you a hassle while using it unless you set up in that garage as well. The other drawback is that the space is a little small, and the entrances are somewhat limited if the Leyak comes to pay you a visit and is camping on one of the entrances and you don't have countermeasures for that yet you'll be doing the staring contest, or worse case you'll accidentally open the door and trigger an attack.
Good video though, very cool defense set up.
I have seen some other Tubers use that same spot above the Blacksmith to set up shop in mid-game. It's a decent place, but I hate the walk back and forth to the water source! I took the overeater trait, so I need sooooo much more food than other builds! So I need that constant water for my farms. And you don't get the water filter barrel until really late in the game. I'd have gone INSANE trying to get 10 pots of water back to my farms every day!!!
But, yeah, it really depends on your build and the pros and cons you want to deal with.
Thank you for the viewing and for the comment! And I won't be upset if you take my advice and move your entire base to above the aquariums soon. 😉
My solo run has been made so much easier with the gym base, appreciate you for bringing this idea forward. Just could decide on a location. Great vid!!!
@@benholmes5685 thank you very much! I'm glad this helped you pick a great spot for your home base. The gym/pool is my go-to first base every game I've played so far. It's just too good!!
I actually kept my base in the pool area throughout the game, except it was on the matted area, with a small farm next to the bathroom and a fridge upstairs! One of the biggest upsides is the vertical space. I actually managed to get 9 or 10 of the XL cabinets over time, and I could stack 3 of them on top of eachother so that they could all be opened and used with the crafting upgrade. Another thing is once you start the Lilac, it can only really come from the locker area, making it easier to deal with.
This is a great point! And if I hadn't fallen in LUV with the aquarium overlook, I probably would've kept my main at the Pool as well.
Great vid, I like the lever to the traps idea, curious how you set it up. Would be cool if they added in some logic gates, maybe some sensors that detect friends or enemies to trigger the traps when needed.
Thank you, I really appreciate that!
As for the perimeter defenses, it fairly easy to set up. You just need a pair of levers for the on/off, a power strip or two (if you're going to have more than 1 "turret"), a large battery so they stay on at night during the power outages, and a bunch of electronic scrap. You can use the electronic scrap to chain power cables as long as you want. If you turn around and watch the cable while you're placing it while walking backwards, it'll turn from green to yellow to orange to red as it gets longer. It will tell you how long until it's too long to place a connector. You simply connect both of your levers together before you connect them to your turrets. That way both levers have to be on for the turrets to run, and turning even one of them off will stop your defenses. Just make sure you have your battery (batteries) BEFORE the levers and not between the levers and the defenses! Or else the battery power will keep your stuff running even after you switch the lever off. So the power order goes:
Wall socket ---> Battery backup power ---> Lever #1 ---> run a power cable aaaaaaall the way to wherever your other lever will be (inside your base, like mine) ---> Lever #2 ---> power cable to where your turrets will be ---> Power strip (if more than 1 turret) ---> connect all your defenses to the power strip. So having both levers between the wall power and your turrets will ensure you can toggle them off no matter where you are. You can even expand on this concept for more levers, if you have multiple entry points to your base.
The logic gate thing would be cool, but even just a trinket that prevents friendly fire from teammates and/or your defenses. I say that primarily because the fire from your flame weapons will hurt YOU as well when hitting enemies (like the flame mallet and spear). A trinket in the late game to stop that would be and easy solution.
@@bigkidBAM Thanks for the break down, i'm looking forward to incorporating it in game. On a side note, do you know anything about the special crates around the facility?
@@hardcorehatter965 Not a problem!
As for those new crates that just got added, no, I haven't figured out how to open them yet! It may not be in the game yet, with a new device or something coming in a future update.
Very enjoyable rambling. I hope you'll do a new playthrough for Crush Depth.
@@RehPetr Hey, thank you! I never know if my rambling is annoying or comforting, so I really appreciate that.
I've got a HUGE backlog of games and content I want to do, but hoping to start a fresh game with the new stuff! I wish I had more time to devote to this, but not enough followers YET.
Stay tuned though! I might even try to stream some new gameplay if anything. I have a Twitch but not many watchers. But it depends on how I feel. Maybe I will. 😎
I like the guardhouse at the beginning but I've moved my base to the locked room behind the fan with the shelves since there's only 1 access point on that.
I thought about finding a REALLY hard-to-access base location, with only a small entry, locked door or vent or something. But, after playing through it, there's really no need for super-secure access points. Until the devs maybe add more random raids or something, no matter where you build, there's a bubble around your base that no enemies will spawn. And then you only have to worry about the portal storms. But with the crafting bench upgrade to stop those, anywhere you choose should be just fine!
But that guardhouse is definitely a top spot for so many folks, I've seen. I just like a bit more room for my big @$$.....
🤣
If I build 2 Workbenches, one for my main base and one somewhere I need to teleport to and a base raid happens, wich workbench will they attack?
@@Damer-gn7 from what I've gathered, it's random. If you have multiple workbenches, the portals could appear at any of them. I haven't seen it do more than 1 at a time yet though. But that's always a possibility if you have a lot of workbenches. Maybe the devs put that in there. I need to test more on that.
However, the portals will appear HOURS before the actual attack happens. I just teleport to each base (I have 3 with workbenches) in turn to see which one has the purple portals. Then I hang out there until it's over.
If you find anything different, let me know!
How did you wire the Tesla Coils? I've been trying to make a two way switch and failing.
Check out my long-winded reply to "hardcorehatter965". It's basically making sure you place all levers between a single power socket and the defenses. That way BOTH levers have to be turned on for the power to work. You can run as many different power lines as you need with excess electronic scrap and power strips.
Let me know if you get it to work or if you need further explanation. Good luck!
@@bigkidBAM Makes sense. Not sure why I didn't think of just putting everything in series. I'd love it if they would allow multiple inputs to electronics. Don't even need logic gates. let me just connect power to a plug strip from two different sources.
@@mitchelbrown793 yeah, I wouldn't mind some more in-depth electronic configurations as well. But, with the limited attacks and raids that happen, it's not a deal-breaker or anything.
That's why I did the double-lever deal with my base. Yeah, I have to go back and forth a bit to turn it on if I teleport in to my base or something, but that's no biggie. It works well enough for now.
bro what is this resolution 1080x4320?
@@anthonybarszczewski4219 that would be a vertical res.
My first couple of vids were at my native ultrawide 5120x1440 until I found the best settings.
So far I've set up multiple "outposts" (bases without crafting benches) or order to prepare for when I can finally make a teleporter network.
So far I've got:
Cafeteria Kitchen, break room and back area (main base, not far from access to pretty much everywhere).
Arcade interior in Flathill (was planning to farm slushies to help survive the mycofields but it turned out they don't really help).
Containment Block Security Office (near the Tarasque so I can farm it for it's precious bodily fluids).
Command Center Top Floor Entrance (just across from the mycofields portal for anteverse gel farming and guarded by automated turrets).
That's awesome! The only downside to having so many "outposts" that I can think of is the nighttime raids. I don't know exactly how they function with multiple bases. Unless you upgrade each workbench to block them, but even then I've had zombies beam in and nearly destroy my entire base!
But, yeah, having the teleporters and multiples set to different benches is a good strat!
@@bigkidBAM For Cafeteria and Containment Block I have upgraded workbenches and for the Flathill Arcade and Command Center entrance I don't have workbenches, just a bed placed down (and the command center entrance has automated gun turrets protecting it anyway).
@@bigkidBAM The attack portal zones home in on you when you're near a bench after the alert popup, so bases without any players present during an attack afternoon/night are safe from damage, going by experience. We've got benches all over the place (by policy, each member of my group carries a bench and battery out whenever we go scavenging to gradually expand the safe zones) and while I've spotted them mildly dinged up on occasion, I've never seen one destroyed.
@@BernddasBrotB7 I don't know about that, actually! I've ignored a warning about "the air feeling strange" and came back to an almost entirely demolished base! I don't know if it was a glitch or what, but I even had the bench upgrade that's supposed to suppress portal storms and zombies STILL popped in to wreck my $#!&
Normally I'd deal and just rebuild, but I had to reload an old backup to get all my rare stuff (tables, arcade games, etc) back.
@@bigkidBAM Could be zombies being different then, I've only had to deal with one incursion from them due to RNG. That or we've just been stupidly lucky.
Or it might be a singleplayer vs multiplayer thing, come to think of it.
The aquarium base is close, but i think the better area is the place down the hall, inside the room janet and abe is standing outside of, intersection to go right to the aquarium, or left to the main elevator room, theres a security cart right inside, and you can head right to offices too.
I did think about all over that area, but with my overeating and thirsty negative traits, having that quick jump and back up from the aquarium is just soooooo nice. I'm ALL about taking as much grind out of survival games as I can. And the biggest annoyance for me when I first started playing was getting water, boiling it, watering farms over and over and OVER again.
Above the aquariums is the only way in to get the water as far as I know (even with the anti-grav trinket to jump high), so dropping in when I need it is just too good.
Also, that's another reason I like that spot is the tram back to the offices. Even easier, IMO, than walking back up the tunnel by Abe and Janet!
Why the tram is not working for me. It says - the tram is curently lock in another station. Tram4
@@ripplexy9317 that's a game design for level progression. You have to find your way to the other station first before it'll run. That's on top of any other prerequisite for tram access, like crafting the tram module there by the aquariums.
Hope that helps! Just keep wandering around and you'll eventually find the tram at the other station where it's locked.
@@bigkidBAM Ty
@@ripplexy9317 you betcha! Happy to help.
I have one in the cafeteria security office and by the first portal
why the 2 huge black border ?
@@burnnolys5707 my first few vids were in the native ultra widescreen resolution. So if you don't have an ultrawide monitor (most ppl don't), you'll see black parts above and below the vid.
Don't worry....most of my vids are the more standard resolution that accommodate more viewers.
Is the water in the aquarium is tainted ?
Yes, even the aquarium is tainted water and needs to be boiled before using. The only sources that aren't tainted are the water tanks and the one I actually missed for this guide, found down in the tunnels. It has the alien water and doesn't need boiled, if I'm not mistaken. There's a portal that opens up and takes you down near the derailed train cars.
@@bigkidBAM hey ty for the fast answer, i love that game, is that alien water infinite ? Good place for a base ? Anyway we just hit the water purifier in a few, so problem solve anyway
@@tegmiles329 yeah, you betcha! Happy to help. 😎
And, yes, the alien water spot down near the derailed train is an infinite pool. It also gives other benefits and I REALLY wish I would've remembered it for this vid. It's the only one like it, as far as I know.
So yes, ABSOLUTELY it would be a great place for a base. Not very pretty, but great for less of a grind for water and the alien wheat.
Good luck! I'm trying to make a couple of other Abiotic Factor vids/guides coming up, so hopefully I have time to add that particular water source in another one.
i have a cozy lil base in the office next to the car thing and the hallway with the two scientists. i haven't finished the game yet tho.
That's not a bad spot at all. It's a bit of a walk for water, but still close enough to many access ways to get around the map.
So many choices, you really can't go wrong with wherever you pick.
@@bigkidBAM there's a water cooler in the hallway right in between the two scientists :D
@@JdeVrijer Yeeaaaaaah.....that's not gonna last long, trust me! 🤣 My first base had 7 water coolers, but they run out quicker than you think.
@@bigkidBAM this one keeps refilling. maybe a bug? (a nice one :D)
@@JdeVrijer Really?!? I've never seen one refill. Do you have server settings changed for faster refill of sinks or anything? Could definitely be a bug, since I didn't think they refilled at all.
If they are supposed to, my question is:
Who is refilling them? *cue dark, ominous music*
I'm glad this wasn't about the security base, because that place is OP but everyone talks about it so it's kinda boring to continue talking about it. :D
Also what is this unhinged aspect ratio? :D
Yeah, I felt the same way about the security spot. It's nice and all, but I'm not a conformist. I DO WHAT I WANT!!!
And, yeah, I enjoy playing some games at ultra-widescreen (I have a giant curved monitor that makes it really nice), but I realize it doesn't translate well for others. Most games still don't support it, so I suspect the majority of my vids will be more standard res.
Thanx for checking it out and the feedback! It means a lot!
Great content although i recommend recording at 16:9 or 21:9
Yeah, I have an ultrawide and had to finagle my video settings to get it to record properly. All of my new content is at a more standard res now. 😎
Thanx for the input and props! I do appreciate it.
Make these things in the future
I plan to! Thanx!!!
