	Base Farming involves finding an Alien Base and then constructing a base on top of it. Once you have it set up with a radar, stores, men and a Skyranger, you may begin farming off the base's supply drop offs. Between 150 to 900 [[Elerium-115\|Elerium]] is worth the -150 points you'll get at the end of the month. And the best part is if you get bored of it then you just attack the base and then dismantle yours so it can be built over another one, and you may have up to seven of these if you do not have Research/Manufacturing/intercept/Radar bases.

			*Due to a small bug in the Initial Alien Bases part of the mod, around every four times you place your base, you will end up with alien bases 2, 3, and 4 on top. So grab a Skyranger an orbit around for a little while until you detect them. The morale of the story, place your base on your favourite terrain in the regions specified above.
