Abiotic Factor: Best Base Locations Guide
Written by Michael Owen | Abiotic Factor
The best base locations in Abiotic Factor are secure, resource-rich, and easy to defend. While some players avoid portal worlds, others use them to escape the constant threats of the main facility.
Security Office
The Security Office may be one of the most popular base locations. It has a lockable main gate, built-in power, and easy access to nearby resources. With barricades or sandbags on the back door, it becomes highly defensible, making it ideal for long-term storage and crafting.
Gym and Pool
The Gym and Pool area is great for farming and water access. The pool provides an infinite source of dirty water, which is easy to purify, and the open space is perfect for agricultural setups. Defense is weaker than the Security Office, but it works well as a farming outpost.
Cafeteria
The Cafeteria offers central access to multiple facility zones. It has power outlets, nearby restrooms, and plenty of space for early setups. Many players start here before moving to more specialized bases.
Containment Control
Containment Control is highly defensible thanks to built-in turrets. Few enemies can breach it, making it one of the safest options for those wanting a combat-free hub.
Hydroplant and Surrounding Areas
The Hydroplant offers several niche options, such as the warehouse room with the trapped Composer or the tennis court building. These spots are large and can be walled off for protection while giving quick access to unique resources.
Flathills Portal World
For those willing to build outside the main facility, Flathills is widely considered the best portal-world base. It has open terrain and far fewer threats than the research zones, allowing you to build freely without constant enemy spawns.
Final Blurb
The best base locations in Abiotic Factor depend on your playstyle. The Security Office and Gym work well for facility-focused players, while Flathills offers a quieter alternative for portal-world builders.
