DIY Bases
Previously, you could only create a faction and purchase a base by talking to a trapper in Redding, Klamath or Junktown. The base would then be spawned in The Middle of Nowhere.
A new method of creating bases is a DIY base. If you gather 10 000 caps and go to construction a foreworker (in NCR, VC or SF), you are able to create a DIY base. You can also pick a faction name (if you are buying a base for the first time) and once the purchase is made, you get construction worker in fancy red shirt who follows you to your base location. Try to quickly move to exit grid, some players will attempt to kill the construction worker if you are not careful. Sometimes, the construction worker may disappear from your base or tent. If this does happen, you must leave your tent or base and enter the world map and wait for the worker to join you, usually it takes several attempts.

With the construction worker in party you can go to your desired base location. Next, you enter an empty encounter (much like you would for creating a Tent) and tell worker you want to have a base constructed here. Then you get location named "Building Site" on your world map.
You will need to gather a certain amount of resources for base construction. You can drop the items anywhere on the construction site to accomplish this task. You can view the progress board to see the required amount of materials for base construction.
