What is the Best Base in Trumbull Valley?

Despite six excellent choices for bases in Trumbull Valley—because, let’s be honest, they’re all great—you can only utilize one at a time. If you’re keen on long-term survival, aesthetics, and functionality, the base you want to focus your efforts on is Fort Marshall.

Personally, I prefer Farmland Compound for its central location and design, but no one can argue that Fort Marshall isn’t also an exceptional choice.
