Southwest of Gustovia This location is easy to get to since it’s near your starting spawn. Instead of heading toward Gostovia, take a left and you’ll find a flat, open area—perfect for farming. You’re centrally located on the map, near a cave and close to Gustovia’s vendors. You’ll need to travel a bit for reeds, clay, and water, but otherwise it’s a solid choice. Rating: 3 out of 5

North of Banica This out-of-the-way spot is unique—you’ll be building close to the edge of the map, with great access to vendors in Banica, the Wagoner, straw, clay, and a nearby mine. The major downside is limited water access, making fishing inconvenient. A nearby creek provides a temporary solution. Rating: 4 out of 5

Lone Lake (Heart-Shaped) South A beautiful and secluded lake with nearby water, reeds, and a mine. However, there’s no clay and no close Wagoner. Farming is possible but limited by terrain. Still, it’s a scenic and strategic location. Rating: 3 out of 5

East of Baranica This area offers good access to two towns, water, and reeds. Downsides include a distant mine and limited flat land for farming. Clay is nearby but not optimal. Still, it’s a practical middle-ground location. Rating: 3 out of 5

West of Gostovia A very popular starter area with clay, reeds, water, and close access to Gostovia’s Wagoner. Farming space is limited by terrain, but resource access and convenience make this a top-tier starting spot. Rating: 5 out of 5

South of Lesnica Plenty of flat land and good access to clay and nearby mines. Water is available, but fishing huts may need to be built a bit away. Straw is a bit far, and town access is limited to Lesnica. Rating: 3 out of 5

Northeast of Denica One of the flattest areas in the game, ideal for large-scale farming. It’s also centrally located with good Wagoner access via Denica. Clay and mines are farther away, but the overall strategic placement is excellent.Rating: 4 out of 5

Southeast of Denica (Lakeside) You’ve got two nearby mines, clay, a full lake with reeds, and flat terrain. Denica isn’t far, giving access to vendors and the Wagoner. This combination of utility and location makes it an ideal spot. Rating: 5 out of 5

East of Hornica (Lake Area) Close to clay, a mine, and Hornica’s bustling vendor scene. The only con is the absence of straw at the lake itself—though some reeds can be found in a nearby creek. Still, it’s a practical place to settle. Rating: 4 out of 5

South of Banica This central location has nearly everything—wood, reeds, clay, water, flat land, and a mine nearby. With Banica close by and good terrain, the only small downside is occasional boulders that limit building placement. Rating: 5 out of 5
