What are your favourite locations/regions in this game?

Mine is definitely the Lonely Lighthouse out in Desolation Point. It's such a cozy little place and a cool shelter to have. Desolation Point in general is an interesting region.

Most of my runs just get me to the Quonset Garage for the long term, late game Interloper — where the whole Coastal Highway just becomes a backyard for projects and a starting point for any escapades.

If there was a way to move containers and keep everything neatly organized, I would probably return to Mountaineer's Hut — maybe it is pure nostalgia but this spot just feels special.. Bed bonus is great too.

Oh, and I have a soft spot for the Cannery Worker Residences in the Bleak Inlet. Great regional base, that fishing hut nearby is a blessing.

I am still not great at the game but after all my hours on Great Bear Island, almost every location became somehow important to me, there is always a memory, a story or a close call situation that changed even the most insignificant spots into significant ones.

Still, there are so many regions that I am not yet familiar with.

Having only just explored the area in my most recent run, I really love the upper regions of Ash Canyon. Foreman's Cabin and Miners Foley if I had to pick a single spot.

I do love the mountaineers hut too though.

Will surely hike up there once I get some better clothing. Wolf furs take so long to craft!

I've really come around to the Forsaken Airfield. The little cave on the lake under the cabin kinda ended up meaning a lot to me. It's close to game and has good lines of sight. You need to put down trails on the ice to deal with the fog. There's a crafting bench and forge near enough to be useful with a day hike. Once you've looted the region, it's pretty nice.

The other cave on the lake would also work but it's less central, but is closer to the zone transition to ZoC.

Monolith Lake is also a high point for me, and more useful now that there's a bunker with a crafting bench in HRV. It just feels like a nice place to be. Good food security. I wish ice fishing were more viable in Interloper. Maybe with a snow shelter.
