Unlike Manibus, the Way of Winter map has all kinds of ores scattered throughout the map. For example, you can find Stardust, Tungsten, Aluminum, etc. even in Level 1 areas. As a result, you can stack up on most ores from the start, provided that you have the higher-level tools to extract them.

Given below are five of the best spots where you can build your base in Once Human 'The Way of Winter':

1) Northeastern part of Onyx Tundra valley of Petals

The part of Onyx Tundra's Valley of Petals that is marked in the image above has a high concentration of Stardust Ore. This ore will help you craft Stardust Source and Portable Mixed Fuel in an Electric Furnace.

Both of these resources are extremely important for crafting and traveling, respectively. As a result, you can mine a lot of Startrace Ore if you build your base here.

The area also has a high concentration of gravel, Tungsten, and Copper ores. There is a waterbody next to the area as well, which will allow you to collect water and crude oil.

The two parts of the Wish Land amusement park are treasure troves of materials. Both parts are filled with crates, trash cans, random loot, and enemies. These have a very large amount of materials that you can use.

The area outside the parks is filled with minerals, and a Chaosweaver spawns nearby. All these factors combined make the area around Wish Land a very lucrative place for setting up your base.

The location also offers a jumping-off point to three Rift Anchors, with the Whalebone settlement being located quite close as well. You will also be near the Securement Silo Psi, meaning that you can clear the Silo regularly and collect even more resources.
