The flat-cliff rule
Aim for a wide plateau within 60m of a berry cluster and 120m of a water tile. Your Pals will never soft-lock on terrain.
Line-of-sight blocks Alpha aggro
Break sight lines with a rock outcrop; nearby Alphas won't path in and won't wake overnight.
Elevation for wind farms
Cliff bases give Wind Turbines direct sun and steady wind by mid-game, saving one full Orserk slot.
