Biggest, flattest spot on Island?

[Jostabeere]

So me and my friends wanna move from our base from the beach.

Yet I have no idea where we want to go and I haven't found a good spot.

Would someone be so nice and suggest a good building spot?

the whole Island is available, since it's our own server. So no Pillars shenanigans.

My criterias for the area are:

-as flat as possible. So I can build a decent sized main building (20x20) without using pillars backasswards tactics and a decent stable for dinos along with a greenhouse and so on.

-as big as possible for measurements stated above

-as central as possible. Preferably not on the beach, so snow biome, volcano or other stuff is not a trip across the island.

my favorite spot on the map is the flat island at/about 14/41

love building there---def not centrally located tho

I like 45lat 75lon ish. Big flat area on the east side fairly close to some mountains. Our metal trip would start at redwood mountain then volcano to the obsidian mountain the smaller mountain that's closest to that spot. Made for a good round trip with lots of haul. 

Check it out

I personally always build by 50-50 on any map, for centrally located. Atm I am building just west of volcano above the nook in the river.  It's full of trees but if you knock them down it's a pretty flat area.

 

If you're on a private server I'd recommend structures plus.

west beach between 40 and 70 is all pretty flat. i know you said no beach but it's quick flight to snow, volcano and redwoods depending how far north you go, well it used to be at least. 70 is a good dino spawn tho, probably wouldn't want to kill that. good for meat and to find tames.

There's an almost perfectly flat plateau on the east coast by green ob, south of the swamp, a bit inland. Don't know coordinates off of the top of my head, I can check later. I was planning on building there a while back but there were some demolishable foundations glitched into the ground that nobody could demolish, I swear you could probably build over a 30x30 there

North East Beach between the cliff and river mouth is objectively the flattest, afaik.

Anyone have co-ordinates for this place?

I'll check tomorrow, there's a valley that runs north-south right south of the swamp on the east coast, this plateau is just west of that valley

- The western coast just south of the winter biome meets all but the "not a beach" requirement. Even so, you're pretty close to Whitesky and Volcano, so metal shouldn't be a big problem.

- The Hidden Lake works, too, but you'd probably need to build using pillars. It's sheltered and flat, though, and it's close to Winter's Mouth, Frozen Tooth, and Far's Peak.

- The plains between Frozen Tooth and Volcano. Again, you'd probably wind up needing to use pillars, but you may be able to finagle it. Obviously very centrally located, just beware of frequent Giga and Titan spawns

- Shores of the Red River (river just north of Redwoods) are pretty big, so you may be able to squeeze a large base there. Water for your crops, and very central. Again, Titan spawns are kind of frequent around here, so if they're not disabled on your server, you might find yourself contending with one

Definitely 48lat 72lon. Right near the red lake. There's plenty of surrounding wood, stone and it's right next to a swamp so you can farm the cat tails for plant x and berries. Just make sure to defend the slope leading to a cliff above the flat land otherwise its easy access even if you have behemoths and we also had issues with wild dinos dropping off the cliff into our base but a wall of spikes along the cliff edge stopped that from happening.

If your on your own server and don't have to worry about raids, then you could build at any of the obelisks.

Also, the flatlands between the frozen tooth and volcano. It is very flat and not too many carnivores spawn there.
