This tile will be the center of your new Home Base. The 8 surrounding tiles will become the plot of land that is your Home Base. This will be shown in a blue outline on your screen. An icon will appear to also indicate your Home Base is active.
Please note, your geomines are hidden from other users while in a Home Base.
