There are many factors that go into determining where to place your base in Palworld. Ideally, you want a flat area that is wide enough for lots of structures, somewhere that doesn’t get looted often, close to lots of ore, etc. Luckily, there are several locations in the game that meet all of these requirements.

The quickest base to build in Palworld would definitely be the one at the first Travel Point. This area just up the hill from the beach has a lot to offer though. There is one entrance and one exit, plenty of room to build loads of machinery and even some rocks to build pickaxes and such.
Anyone who has played Palworld can probably confirm that Ore is good. Ore is very good. That is why it is smart to have at least one base of a group of Ore. North of the Desolate Church is a very large area that begs to be built there. It is a good midgame base area, where you can get ore for the midgame tools and have a little extra space for the large amount of Pals you might deploy at this stage.
If you want to easily defend against raids, Fort Ruins is your place. This area is already blocked off by walls with several towers that you can sit on top of and shoot enemies from a distance. There aren’t too many ore deposits here, so it makes more sense to make this a home base. However, it only takes a small amount of building to make this a fortified castle.
