- Aniimo base building is the core loop for resource generation and progression.
- Automation allows your creatures to handle farming, watering, and hauling tasks.
- RV leveling unlocks new facilities, higher placement limits, and advanced production tiers.
- Team composition matters; match creature elemental traits to facility requirements for efficiency.
Getting Started with Base Building
The RV serves as your personal base in Aniimo, acting as an instanced sanctuary where you can cultivate resources and manage your creatures. Mastering this space is essential for steady progression and generating the currency needed for higher-level upgrades.
Video Highlights:
- Understanding the RV park and instance management.
- Setting up initial farmland and production facilities.
- Automating basic tasks like wheat harvesting and storage.
Once you unlock your RV, focus on fulfilling "Home Orders." These quests provide the necessary experience to level up your RV, which in turn increases your creature capacity and facility limits.
| Facility | Primary Function | Required Creature Trait |
|---|---|---|
| Farmland | Grow crops like wheat | Water / Plant |
| Woodland | Produce wood resources | Dig / Chop |
| Storage Unit | Automatically collect items | Haul |
Always maintain a food supply in your camp. Creatures become sluggish and stop working if they are hungry, which halts your entire production chain.
Automation Strategy
To stop manually harvesting crops, you must assign specific creatures to your facilities. The key is matching the creature's elemental power to the facility's needs.
Assess Facility Needs
Check the facility's required traits (e.g., Water, Earth, or Wind) via the management screen.
Assign Correct Creatures
Drag and drop creatures with matching traits into the work slots.
Build Storage
Place a storage unit nearby so creatures can haul harvested items automatically.
Monitor Production
Use the manage mode to change crop types or check on creature stamina levels.
| Automation Level | Requirements | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 1 Water, 1 Haul creature | Automated wheat cycle |
| Advanced | 1 Water, 1 Haul, 1 Chop | Full wood and crop cycle |
| Optimized | High level creatures | Increased yield and speed |
Avoid overloading your base with too many creatures of the same type if they don't have the specific trait required for the active facility, as this wastes food resources.
Resource Optimization
As your RV level increases, you gain access to more complex facilities. Balancing your layout is key to maintaining a high-output base.
