Thank you all for the help, it's the rocking back and forth of the cogwheel that made me think there is no stable surface area.

no I am eating berries, avoiding rifts, no mods, default config with turned on lightning fires. Thank you! ok, i did not know the cog will stop spinning clockwise when in stable area, maybe i missed some stable areas because of that, I will definitely try again today. Does it just stand still when full and in stable area or does it dance a little back and forth? I would usually sprint and during the sprint notice a fast clockwise rotation. Then I would stop and try walking back to the area where it was spinning clockwise but could not find it anymore. Now I see that it could be due to the fact that my cog meter was full and therefore not longer spinning. And if it then just stands without moving or even worse if it rocks back and forth a little, I would conclude that the area is not stable. Thank you for the help guys, I'll try again with these tips in mind.

Hi. I'm new at the game. I have problems finding surface area with positive temporal stability. I tried walking in all directions from spawn point for several days and couldn't find an area with positive temporal stability. If i ran through an area where the cog started spinning in positive direction I would stop there, but the wheel would gradually stop and then start spinning in negative direction. Without me moving. Second map in a row. I can't find a spot for my base as a result. Any advice? The map is maximally zoomed-out.
