Once Human Way of Winter: Five best base locations
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.
2) Near East Blackstone Teleportation Tower
The area around East Blackstone Teleportation Tower in eastern Onyx Tundra is a great place to build your base. The area is rich in all kinds of ore and also has Cold Crystal Ore scattered in many places.
On top of that, there are a few nodes of Gold Ore that can be found, particularly along the coast. Also, there are two POIs nearby, making it an excellent place to regularly collect loot from.

3) Near Wish Land
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.
4) Near Barque Farmstead Workshop
Building your base near the Barque Farmstead Workshop in the Vena Fjord region in Once Human means that there are not only a lot of minerals and resources around but also a large number of POIs.
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.

5) Near Fire God Research Center
The area next to the Fire God Research Center in the Ember Strand region is not only rich in minerals, particularly Tungsten, but it also has several places where Gold and Silver nodes pop up from time to time. The area is rich in Hot Rock Ore as well.
There are lava streams nearby, which will enable you to go lava fishing. There is also a good chance that you will catch a Deviation from the lava every now and then. All in all, the plain terrain and the resource-filled surroundings make this area ideal for building a base in Once Human.
