How to Unlock a Second Base in Palworld

How to Unlock a Second Base in Palworld

In Palworld, bases are essential for players since they help them at different phases of the game. At the beginning, a good base will help players passively collect resources from several locations. However, in the later stages of the game, this base will become travel points in specific areas of Palworld, which will shorten the time spent traveling to strategic locations.

These reasons make unlocking a second base necessary in the game to ensure you collect all the resources. Hence, this guide will discuss unlocking a second base in the Palworld. Additionally, we will discuss some of the factors to consider and the best places to locate your second base.

Factors to Consider Before Building a Second Base

Before locating your base, several conditions must be considered to fulfill all the purposes we mentioned earlier. For instance, players who build bases in areas with fewer resources often find themselves having to travel long distances to harvest many resources. As such, the first factor to consider is its proximity to several important resources like Ore or a Supply Vein.

Secondly, players should avoid placing their base near a plateau because it will make using the base as a fast travel point a waste. This means that building the base far away from a plateau would eventually result in you gaining one more good point for fast travel. Finally, you need to ensure that your base is positioned strategically to ward off any attack. For this, we recommend placing your base close to cliffs to make them easier to defend and protect from any invaders. That said, let's see how to unlock your second base.

How to Build a Second Base in Palworld

Starting your second base will require good management and several resources because players will have to supervise many building mechanics as well as meet all the requirements for setting up the base. For instance, your existing base must be upgraded to Level 10. You can do this by selecting the Palbox and building the required structures on the menu. These structures include a Cooler Box and a Sphere Workbench. In Palworld, players cannot own more than three bases, which means they will have to ensure that each base is at full capacity before placing another base.

Also, when you start upgrading your base, the number of pals that can work on it increases, which makes more sense at some point. Leveling up your existing base is easy; play to level 13 and build a Cooler Box, then proceed to level 14 to build a Sphere Workbench. Building this equipment will require some resources, including;

Cooler Box

• x20 Ingot
• x5 Ice Organ
• x20 Stone

Sphere Workbench

• x10 Paldium Fragments
• x10 Nails
• x30 Woods

Once your base is at level 10, you can proceed to building your second base. When building your base, you will need to build a new Palbox. Remember that building it will also cost you certain materials, such as;

• x8 Wood
• x3 Stone
• x1 Paldium Fragment

After building the second Palbox in your new location, you can place it on the ground and start erecting buildings at your new base.

Where to Place the Second Base

Your base should be placed in an area that is fairly easy to defend, not far from important resources, and sufficient for 15 Pals to operate. Here are some of the best areas for setting up your second base;

Towards the Small Settlement

The southern side of the small Settlement has a beautiful autumn zone that the player will encounter as the fall-themed areas. This area may not be the best if the player’s objective is resource farming, but due to the certain features of the land – it is easier to defend than the other regions due to the presence of cliffs. The most common resources you will be able to find here are wood and stone, as well as some ore from time to time.

Hypocrite Hill Area

This location is suitable for a second base since it has a good amount of resources, and it is also good for placing fast travel points. There is bound to be plenty of Ore around these areas, and that the player will also have many options. It is most appropriate to build in the vicinity of a cliff, which is abundantly present in this area.

Near the Tower of Rayne Syndicate

The next location is not too far from the Tower of Rayne Syndicate. Depending on the Player’s rise, it would be safe, in that some cliffs would be around depending on where the base is located, but it also has enough materials. Deposits and fragments of Ore and Paldium will not be left out. Wood, stone, and food in adequate amounts will also be found by the player.

Additionally, it's not too difficult to defend, but one still has to be prepared for enemies charging in near the Small Settlement
