Homeland Base Building and RV Upgrades
Every Pathfinder gets a plot of land, an RV and a portal between them. Here is how the Homeland fits together, and what your Aniimo do while you are somewhere else.
The short version
- The Homeland is solo. You unlock it early and start with a single plot of land.
- Aniimo assigned to farm work produce resources passively while you are off doing something else.
- Your RV is a customizable base with a portal that connects to your own homeland area.
- Incubators sit in the homeland base as well as at camp, in the main city and at the Hatchinator in the outpost town.
- Furniture arrangements travel between players as share codes, and surplus furniture sells back at a discount.
Aniimo has player homesteads, with base building and management systems attached. The Homeland is where that lives. It is a solo space, so nothing you build there is competing for room with anyone else's decisions.
You unlock it early and you begin with a single plot of land. That plot is the whole engine. It grows things, it houses Aniimo, and the Aniimo you station there work it for you.
The other half of the system is the RV. Each Pathfinder receives one, and it is not just a vehicle. It is a customizable base that contains a portal connecting to your own homeland area.
The plot, and the Aniimo working it
The Homeland runs a farming system, and the point of it is that Aniimo can be assigned to work there. Once assigned, they passively produce resources while you are off doing something else entirely.
That changes how you should think about your roster. An Aniimo you never take into the field is not a wasted slot. It is a shift worker. Anything you catch has somewhere useful to be.
Aniimo stationed at your home base can also be petted, which costs you nothing and is a reasonable reason to walk the plot rather than teleport straight past it.
Hatching eggs without a detour
Aniimo eggs hatch by being placed into an incubator. The Hatchinator facility in the outpost town is one, and the obvious one to find first.
It is not the only one. Incubators are also available at camp, in the main city, and in your homeland base. That last one matters most for how you plan a session. If you are already heading home to reassign farm workers, you do not need to route through town to get an egg started.
The RV and the portal
Your RV is a base in its own right and it is customizable, so it is worth treating as a second project rather than a garage. What makes it structural instead of cosmetic is the portal inside it, which connects to your own homeland area.
The practical effect is that your farm is wherever your RV is. You are not tied to walking back to the plot to check on it.
RV parks and who sees your build
RV parks are designated shared social zones. You park alongside other players, visit their RVs, rest, and decorate camping platforms. Trailers also show up alongside other players in shared public hub areas such as open-world settlements and RV campsites.
So the Homeland itself stays private while the RV is the part of your setup other people actually look at. Build accordingly. If you want an audience for your decorating, it goes in the vehicle.

Furniture: sharing it, and getting rid of it
Furniture arrangements can be shared between players using share codes. If someone has laid out a space well, you can take the arrangement rather than reverse engineer it by eye.
Surplus is handled too. Unused or extra furniture can be sold back at a discount through co-op vendors or home plot robot shops. Discount is the operative word, so buying furniture speculatively is not free, but you are not stuck hoarding pieces you will never place either.
One thing worth knowing even though co-op is another article's subject: players can enter and visit each other's personal home plots through co-op invites, and tilling soil at another player's home grants you a portion of their harvest. Visiting friends is productive, not just polite.
Where to start
Claim the plot as soon as it unlocks, park working Aniimo on it rather than leaving spare catches idle, and use the RV portal so checking the farm never costs you a trip. Save the decorating budget for the RV, since that is the part other players see.
