Enshrouded Base Locations: 8 Spots on the 1.0 Map

Verified for 1.07 min read

For a first base, the Teleport Platform in Springlands: 124 plants to gather within 250 m and 2 camp spawn points. Every region below has one spot picked by the same rule over our 1.0 map data — the fast-travel point with the most plants and ore containers around it, busy ones skipped — each one link away on the map.

These 8 spots were not picked by eye: they come from counting what the game's 1.0 files place around every fast-travel point on our map: gatherable plants, Ancient Mining Containers and enemy spawn points. A fast-travel point next to the base means you can always get home.

What the base itself needs

A base is a Flame Altar and the zone around it. Claiming an altar costs 1× Shroud Core, and each altar level widens the build zone (1.0 files). What goes inside — blocks, storage, water, beds — is in the base building guide.

How many bases

The Flame level caps how many Flame Altars you may place: 2 at Flame 1, 16 at Flame 11. The Flame Altar planner has every level.

Not inside the Shroud — yet

Placing Flame Altars into the Shroud is a 1.0 feature, and Keen says: "To unlock this feature, the final flame level 11 has to be unlocked. Alternatively, the required flame level can be lowered to any level via the world settings." The server setting behind it, Required Flame level to enable placing Flame Altars into the Shroud, defaults to 11. Until then, build outside the Shroud.

How the spots were picked

Candidates: every Teleport Platform in the 1.0 server files and every Ancient Spire on our map — 48 in the 8 regions. For each one we counted, within 250 m: plant placements from the map's plant layers, Ancient Mining Containers, and the spawn points of the four camp factions (Scavenger, Vukah, Drak, Hollow). Fell spawn points are stored per 128 m cell, so that column is approximate.

The pick per region: drop points with more than 10 camp spawn points in range, then take the most plants plus ore containers. By that count the richest is the Nomad Highlands spot (356 plants, 0 containers).

What the files can't tell us

Slope, water, the view, and whether a Flame Altar fits are not in what we count. Walk the spot before you claim it, and check the enemy spawn numbers above against your level.
