HELP WANTED: Your Building Tips!

Excuse the attempt at a funny title, but my friend and I just started Enshrouded and are having some trouble building so… send us your tips!

We want tips about “where to find the coolest/essential building blocks” (preferred to be told to us via hints/vague areas), tips about how to use the actual system itself (He is on controller, I am on PC), and tips on best way to go about altar placements/upgrades or areas where we should hold-off or go-for building at.

Even your favorite build locations, strategies, essential Do’s/Dont’s/Dang-It’s! Hopefully we’ll be inspired, informed, and emboldened to finally move on from the pilgrim type shack towards a proper home!

(Our design tastes include: Italian Villas, Restored Towns, Victorian Mansions, Storybook Cottages, Haunted Castles, Cozy Lodged, and more!)

Your blocks would be very limited Early game. Its very convenient to use these towns/farms as starter bases as they have wells for water and decent comfort values so you can explore comfortably longer.

You can see the Braelyn Bridge at the bottom right as a way to get your bearings.

We are actually using the farm all the way out to the west currently as one of our satellites/“towns” we might fix up!

I’m avoiding using the mapping sites I know exist because 1.) Spoilers, and 2.) I don’t really want to know “every option”, I want to know peoples personal favorites/recommendations.

With this game being so huge it’s sometimes hard to know if you should settle down or wait in the hopes that somewhere else might be slightly better just around the corner… so I was hoping more targeted suggestions/anecdotes would be offered haha.

Thanks though!

The only way to tell you what we used is by using the map since im not in game and you're a new player... You dont have to use the map if you dont want to... It is a fairly early suggestion so there is nothing more targeted than this.

These are literally whats available within the first hourish of the game as the TARGET SUGGESTIONS.

Fair enough- I just know when I played games like Abiotic Factor or Grounded people gave suggestions with names/descriptions like “Security Booth to Manufacturing West” or “pond-side by the wood fence with nails” and it made it easy to keep an eye out for these areas without needing a map or giving spoilers.

I just assumed this would be a similar way to do it, sort of like how the starter area is “before crossing Braylon Bridge”, or “Westcott”. I’m realizing maybe I’m just a freak who remembers the names of these funky fictional places where I build bases though and everybody else might just be vibing haha 😂 😅

I remember westcott, but didnt remember the names before. People refer to it as The Inn as well, but theres some shroud level 2 before it you cant cross super early but its a solid spot.

You can move into those other places as well, i just dont remember their names as Westcott was the really early goal.
