In ''Pikmin 4'', each area has multiple '''bases''' for the ship and the [[Onion]] to land in. A base is marked with several glowing pink rocks on the floor making up the shape of two rings, one where the [[S.S. Beagle]] or [[S.S. Dolphin]] sits, and one where the Onion goes. Each base is given a name and a number based on the landmarks around it, though these are fixed, meaning the number doesn't reflect the order in which players find bases. When landing on the area for the first time, the player will always arrive at base #1. As the player comes across new bases, they get added to the list of unlocked bases for that area. Some bases are blocked off by something, usually an [[enemy]], which needs to be cleared before that base can be unlocked. Despite having multiple bases meaning the player has multiple spots to land in, the game will force the player to land at the most-recently used base for that area at the start of each [[day]]. | In ''Pikmin 4'', each area has multiple '''bases''' for the ship and the [[Onion]] to land in.

To select a different base as the one that the ship and Onion should currently use, the player needs to go up to an unused base and press {{button|switch|a | To select a different base as the one that the ship and Onion should currently use, the player needs to go up to an unused base and press {{button|switch|a}}. This will make the screen fade to and from black, and when the scene returns, the ship and Onion will be just about finished with landing in the new base. Any Pikmin near the Onion or ship will be instantly transported inside the ship towards the new spot. Any Pikmin that were busy [[carry]]ing things will readjust their trajectory towards the new base after a second. | ||
Unlocking a base also allows it to be used in a [[night expedition]], provided there is an available night expedition at that base. Some larger [[cave]] sublevels and the [[Hefty Haulway]] [[Dandori Challenge]] also have multiple bases, though these are only marked with a single ring for the ship, since the Onion does not go underground. The [[Rescue Command Post]]'s bases are unique in that the player cannot change them, and they are not marked, despite being recognized independently in the [[radar]]. The rocks of bases that have not been unlocked are a dim red, and they turn bright pink when unlocked. | Unlocking a base also allows it to be used in a [[night expedition]], provided there is an available night expedition at that base.
