[celest plover]

sorry my wifi cut out

but im back now

I think I might just deconstruct one of my early bases

for an extra boost

[scarlet wedge]

Been there, done that… 🤣

[wild oriole]

W OR L?

[scarlet wedge]

Well done, @wild oriole !

[celest plover]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-australias-got-talent-no-way-shookt-gif-5610222 MASSIVE W

[wild oriole]

Thx

[patent shadow]

Nice

[heady jacinth]

That might be extreme, but, y'know... there's 3 busted prawn suits, do we maybe have enough parts to get one working?

[fringe citrus]

looks great man

[fringe citrus]

hard W

[wild oriole]

Thx

[fringe citrus]

np bro

[nimble rune]

Just scan the ship for a blueprint (if you already have the blueprint)

[distant radish]

that looks like a peaceful spot until a leviathan finds it’s way over to it lol

[cerulean zodiac]

Most of the Grand Reef is fairly safe from leviathan attacks

It's just a select few areas you need to avoid

[opaque elbow]

just murder them lol

le epic base

[cerulean zodiac]

Oh yeah, just, uh, "Relocate" them

Easy real estate

[keen oracle]

noice growbed field

[opaque elbow]

Thx

[keen oracle]

I should do that sometime

being a person who grinds to get resources for huge survival bases

[opaque elbow]

Rip n Tear

[opaque elbow]

Main prob is titanium

Storage costs so much

💀

The 2 things infront of the towers are filled with water filters

And the pack of buildings behind them are packed with wall storage

Titanium is everywhere but so hard to get

[keen oracle]

not really

only when you've drained most of the areas that have a lot

[opaque elbow]

Exactly… I have done the calculations and I have used well over 2k titanium

[dusky folio]

💪

[keen oracle]

with all of my hardcore projects I'm sure I've also used a lot more than that 😛

[opaque elbow]

cool

question

how did you get so much

like i get its everywhere

but like where is it the most abundant

[opaque elbow]

if that one on the bottom right is hollow than it would be only 1472 titanium tops

based on it being 16x14 on the top

and 16x7 on the bottom

16x7x4 for the surrounding of it and that 2x

[uneven warren]

@opaque elbow then there's this

[opaque elbow]

yes

i saw

[uneven warren]

Div has been working on Atlantis for a loooong time.

[opaque elbow]

yea 20 days

i have only been working on myn for about 3-4

most of it is just storage

and the best part is

i havent even unlocked most of the blueprints

like legit I havent even beaten the game cause i was to busy trying to build my base lol

also kinda sad

cause i also need to get the damn nuclear ractor part done

[jagged yew]

Theres tons of places. A bunch of deposits in the lost river area with like 10 titanium in each, tons of wrecks with scrap metal (4 each), fragment scans (2 for each after the blueprint is completed), im pretty sure most ores have a chance of dropping it. There is so much titanium bro.

[keen oracle]

I usually start with the Crash Zone, Safe Shallows and Kelp Forest and once those are mostly drained I move onto the Lost River, then places like the Bulb Zone and Blood Kelp Zones which also have a lot of deposits

the ILZ also has a large quantity of those plus others

[jagged yew]

The endgame cave areas have tons of large titanium deposits everywhere. You will need a prawn with a drill arm to mine it tho.

[keen oracle]

imagine having a Cyclops and still basing in the Safe Shallows

[bronze ledge]

Hey I do the same thing so don’t judge

[clever robin]

Bruh

I have more than one base

[rigid pawn]

anyone got any ideas for a starting base?

[patent shadow]

the border of kelp forest and grassy plateaus (red biome)

[scenic ore]

😶

[buoyant wharf]

I usually finish the game whilst having my main base in the Safe Shallows..

[woeful palm]

different strokes

[heady jacinth]

I don't often close down bases. I might rip out the more expensive bits, like scrapping the observation rooms for enameled glass, but I tend to leave my bases as they are. My starter base is usually just an X compartment as close as possible to the lifepod, I don't even build a fabricator for it. My main shallows base is at one of the volcanic vents in the shallows, close to the grass and kelp. When I'm not based there any more, I convert it to a storage facility, because I usually build the rocket there.

[keen oracle]

I've never deconstructed a base to my knowledge

[dusky folio]

i deconstructed a base that was just a moonpool

[woeful palm]

i've only deconstructed unfinished bases that i decided to move elsewhere. once something is finished/livable it stays, i like being able to return and see my old bases

[cerulean zodiac]

I've reached the point where I just use my map knowledge to put a base in one good spot, and then don't move out

If I need some infrastructure somewhere else, I'll just use my Cyclops

[mystic cape]

My base

[jagged yew]

I just use my cyclops as a base. Barely ever return to my actual one. I can basically put everything I need in the sub and take it anywhere I want.

[cerulean zodiac]

That is a good strategy. Generally I don't like cramming everything into a Cyclops, but I always make sure it's ready to be used as a mobile base.

[jagged yew]

Beginnings of a new bz base!
Thoughts and ideas are welcome (if you want.) Im not the best at base building.

[jagged yew]

It lets you take your base down into the endgame caves which is nice. My most recent save file had a fabricator, mod station, etc. in the cockpit area, a bed and a growbed with food in the middle room, some random junk in the back, a battery charging station in the bottom back, and the storage room packed full of wall lockers. Thats all you really need.

[cerulean zodiac]

I know how useful it can be to have a well equipped Cyclops, and I usually do have a lot of stuff built inside, I just prefer building a more spacious base over having everything packed into the tight rooms of the sub.

[safe rover]

You won't get much sunlight that deep. Recommendations are nuclear or bio power. I don't believe that is a thermal area.

Also, good luck finding early game resources throughout there. They get quite hard to find when you don't live in the twisty bridges.

Starting a new save and making an all new type of base (to me)

It's progressed a bit since then, control room and seatruck dock.

[jagged yew]

Im literally right on top of a massive thermal vent. And i have a bioreactor in there

[sharp hill]

worried I ate through all the Kelp Caves Root Pustuls for power found out I need em for plot stuff possibly too.

oh found more perfect. sets some aside

[ornate escarp]

They do produce the heat capable of powering a base.

[mystic cape]

My new mushroom forest base so far

[willow bay]

my all over the place base

[safe rover]

Nothing can escape.

[dull zinc]

:

[patent shadow]

The box one? That’s a reaper containment unit

[night trout]

no peeper

[patent shadow]

Yep

[sharp hill]

hope my base is nice enough

[little quiver]

holy moly that is

[sharp hill]

powered by 6 solar panels two bio reactors 1 nuke reactor. One large room a moon pool a sea truck dock a nice bedroom with windowed dome cealing as is the large room. a spare room for whatevere further out and a scanner room and a garden inside and out.

also has 2 water filter machines

may move the sea truck dock at some point

donno yet

[little quiver]

im brand new i can show u my base one sec

[sharp hill]

working to connect the moon pool?

[little quiver]

i got 1 bio and 1 solar. I built a new small base in mushroom forest. Im too scared to go to far. I've got cyclops and depth 2 for seamoth by hiding

i cant connect any moonpools

i didnt know they could

[sharp hill]

hmmm weird

[little quiver]

i tried for a while but no matter what they dont connect

still in power range tho

[sharp hill]

ah cool

[little quiver]

wanna vc?

[sharp hill]

not atm

[little quiver]

boo

[sharp hill]

sorry normally I'd jump at it

just voice is tired

[little quiver]

i added you. I cant play this without talking to someone because im claustrophobic

[sharp hill]

ah

[little quiver]

maybe another time lol

[sharp hill]

sure sometime

[nimble rune]

Just believe in yourself and try to connect it

It maybe doesn’t show, but you actually can

[granite pier]

Juat started 2 days ago

[little quiver]

i cant play unless i talk to someone. big claustrophobia

[bronze ledge]

😞

Sorry to hear that

[dusky folio]

i think thats the wrong phobia

[pseudo rain]

Well you can get claustrophobic underwatwr

[woeful palm]

esp in a submarine

[final niche]

There all cool bases

[keen oracle]

thanks!

[final niche]

Np

[keen oracle]

4 in 1 image (hardcore save)

[final niche]

Ok

[patent shadow]

have you gotten the reaper into the cube?

[pallid gyro]

i think he did

[keen oracle]

not yet

I haven't actually played the game in quite some time because the lag has been so bad it just makes it not fun

I hope I don't have to wait all the way until I get a new pc but it might end up that way

[sharp wolf]

dude 4th one like wth

[sharp wolf]

no wonder its laggy

[keen oracle]

well that save I expect to lag

not an entirely new creative save with nothing in it (which is what happened)

[sharp wolf]

oh just clear you cash

[pale scarab]

how do you clear it?

[keen oracle]

*cache

yeah I probably will do that after building all the stuff that I want to

[calm bloom]

used the bulkhead glitch to build indoor things outdoors for a nice patio

my only gripe is that you can't deploy lightsticks onto base pieces

[raw pawn]

I’ve always liked doing that, only problem is at night the lighting glitches, because the game still thinks the pieces and you are inside, making both you and the stuff outside comically bright

[calm bloom]

yeah thats why i added floodlights so it looks natural

[keen oracle]

someone should make a mod for this tbh

I wanted to put them on some of my bases as well and was sad to find out you couldn't

[pseudo rain]

thats sick

[misty trail]

noice

i didnt even know that glitch existed

[dark lintel]

small creative base ive been working on

work in progress

[heady jacinth]

I want more control of the height of foundation pieces. I want to be able to put a few in front of my Seatruck dock, lined up with the bottom edge, so it's like landing pad and hangar.

[steady stone]

what did you put on the sides

[waxen timber]

Those are windows

[dark lintel]

windows

[unborn badge]

https://youtu.be/FOVcW7C5Ibw

[patent shadow]

Use i tubes

[shell spruce]

The bases I've built in a Creative run: My main base in the Grassy Plateaus; 7-story tower houses an Alien Containment Unit, the 3 storyis my living quarters, the other MPRs are a workroom, indoor greenhouse and a nuke. Two moon pools and an ad-hoc Cyclops dock with walkway for my Prawn complete the base.

Singing Ray Sanctuary, over in the Mushroom Forrest

Cliffside Resort, on the Mountain Island. The vertical shaft connects to a moon pool, and the foundations support a number of exterior grow beds for both food and ornamental plants.

Reaper's Graveyard, down in the Mountain Corridor. Power comes from a series of thermal plants, with one moon pool, a group of MPRs, and a second pool over one of the skeletons.

Indulging my inner supervillain with a base built inside the Ancient Skeleton.

[pseudo rain]

I know this isn't a base but are the reapers by the aurora a chance encounter or fixed encounter?

Will post a picture of my starter base soon

[pseudo rain]

Interior and exterior

[keen oracle]

smoll

[waxen timber]

Not sure about what you exactly mean. But leviatans work in certain areas the patrol and their position is saved.

[pseudo rain]

Ok thanks

Then by the aurora how many are there?

[woeful palm]

one around the front and... a lot more around the stern and starboard side, not sure exact #

[woeful palm]

this rocks btw

[shell spruce]

Thanks!

[woven current]

You can put hatches on roofs?

[waxen timber]

Yes

[fast quest]

floors and walls too

[shell spruce]

But only the sides of a Multipurpose Room

[shell spruce]

Moving on to Below Zero, a base on a Lilly Pad. There's a moonpool, scanner and control room below the surface, and 3 MPRs on the surface.

Interior of the rooms above.

[fast quest]

man I really need to get on soon and continue my survival base in experimental

that dome looks soo good

[bronze ledge]

Pls make one in the void

[shell spruce]

I just might, once the big upgrade hits. I'd love to make Void base of stacked large rooms

[bronze ledge]

Cool

[silk sun]

not a great base but i made a lighthouse xd
@bronze ledge @hot torrent

[bronze ledge]

Noice

What are the lights on top?

[silk sun]

Spotlights

[bronze ledge]

Ooh

Lol I haven’t played subnautica in a bit

[silk sun]

Oh by the way @bronze ledge I put the PS logo because I'm playing on PS4

[patent shadow]

nice

[silk sun]

Ty!

[patent shadow]

I thought this was art room for a second

[bronze ledge]

Hahaha

[keen oracle]

I almost thought that base picture was art because of the camera angle

[weary jasper]

cove tree base

[calm bloom]

That's clever

I'm stealing that Lily pad base idea

[strange parrot]

my favorite base

[pseudo rain]

Welcome to Heaven

[strange parrot]

went for max height limit by the end, turns out it was right near a mountain so it has a walk path to the arctic and a dive on the other side

[heavy violet]

How do you see???

[strange parrot]

that's just rotating weather lol

[heavy violet]

Ohh

[lofty fable]

built a shadow leviathan observatory and cafe in my BZ creative save file

[keen oracle]

that might just be the first base I've ever seen built in the Fabricator Caverns

it doesn't seem to be a very popular biome for base building 😂

I wonder why

[patent shadow]

leviathans roar

[keen oracle]

I do wanna build a base in that biome at some point tho

[weary jasper]

i wanna build a base in the void

[lofty fable]

I was inspired by a video where someone built a reaper observatory in the original game so decided to do soemthing similar but for shadows

[weary jasper]

is it worth makint a base in the lava zone?

[lofty fable]

personally, id say yeah since i built one not too far from the lava corridor from the LR. stored stuff in there and put a water filter machine in there and stuff so i dont have to go all the way back to one of my other bases everytime i need to replenish something

iirc you can also find all the materials you need to build a base in the LR so you dont have to travel too far to set everything up

[hard jungle]

My starter base in below zero

[weary jasper]

i have a base in the cove tree so im thinking abt making one in the lava zone for fun

[lofty fable]

that looks really cozy

[lofty fable]

for fun? yeah id say go for it. maybe a sea dragon observatory

[keen oracle]

if you wanna be cool? absolutely

extra points if it's in survival

or even better, hardcore

totally not leaking my future plans

[pseudo rain]

Isnt it the start baseV?

[ornate escarp]

Rite of the deep... nice.

[hard jungle]

Honestly I was wondering if someone would notice

[weary jasper]

idk where the sea dragons are btw do lava larvad stick on ur base?

[pallid gyro]

Dont think so

[patent shadow]

Rite of the deep, this base pog

[patent shadow]

No

[cerulean zodiac]

Very well furnished for a starter base

[hard jungle]

I don’t rlly play for the story I just like building bases so I haven’t done much like all of the main stuff. I just explore and it’s taking me long cuz I’m trying to not search stuff up

[cerulean zodiac]

Fair enough

Most of my long term bases don't end up furnished that well lol

Might need to spend more time doing basebuilding

[wooden tundra]

once i was falling asleep...

[delicate mulch]

how do you put a window on top of the multipurpose room

[delicate mulch]

like here

[patent shadow]

well, its in BZ only rn but will get put into SN with 2.0

in BZ you get the blueprint for it by scanning it

[delicate mulch]

o

ok

thanks

i didnt know

[bronze ledge]

Hey does anyone know when subnautica will get the graphics update?

[ornate escarp]

Nope. The visuals for Subnautica are going to remain the same.

[hushed wyvern]

I don't think I have enough lights

[obtuse basin]

More

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-more-gif-21856591

[sweet stag]

[keen oracle]

I hope that's in creative LOL

this thing has 10k power and even at that, much more than 4 floodlights cause it to slowly start to drop

the power consumption of lights is absolutely nuts

[patent shadow]

lights take that much power?

[keen oracle]

yep, unfortunately

[fast quest]

Nice little observatory I put together in my kelp forest base

The base as a whole is coming along nicely as well

[hushed wyvern]

base built with a few mods

[hasty sluice]

Nah bruh that’s the goddamn void right there

[keen oracle]

noice, is the 2.0 update out yet or is it still in experimental? I haven't played in a while

[fast quest]

I'm still on experimental

[atomic night]

Been using this as my mobile base for a couple weeks now

Pls rate

(My name is Marguerit Maida)

[jagged yew]

Same base about 10-15 hours later

Been an interesting challenge trying to work around the tree branches with how much dang space every part needs (for some stupid reason)

But i managed to fit a greenhouse, aquarium, storage room, vehicle bays, control room, scanner, outdoor farm, and bedroom in there.

All run on a nuke reactor and a single solar panel chilling on top

[balmy escarp]

that looks sick

[royal whale]

why do yall make em that big

i honestly just put 2/3 multipurpose rooms and im done

and a moonpool ofc!

[narrow granite]

Because it looks cool.

[pale scarab]

indeed.

[keen oracle]

cause big = epic xD

and I enjoy the challenge of making something large scale using only manually gathered resources
well, it's not that much of a challenge actually, more just a long grind

I like the process of designing a big base because you have so much more space to play around with so I find it more easily lends itself to unique design

[jagged yew]

Its a sort of callback to the very first base I ever made in the original subnautica, which was on top of one of the giant mushroom trees

[balmy escarp]

nice

Did you make it in tree spires

the biome

[jagged yew]

Yes

On top of the massive tree in the middle

Its kinda hard to see the terrain shape with how dark and murky it is down there but the scanner room map looks awesome

[narrow granite]

Building a base in every biome is probably going to get repetitive, so I may as well sort out a couple base types:
-Docks: Multiple Moonpools and Scanner Rooms, intended as a base between bases.
-Research: Observatories, Lab Equipment, Alien Containment, etc.
-Mining Outposts: Moonpool for Prawn Suit, Scanner Room, Large amounts of storage.

[modest portal]

1 multipurpose room is enough for me

• one nuke reactor

and 2 bays

[keen oracle]

Tree Spires is easily my favourite BZ biome

I just love the ambience and vibe of the whole place

plus it's also the deepest surface biome I believe

[jagged yew]

In the original game I usually go on just a cyclops for most of the game

[modest portal]

fr me too

on my 7th save i have only made a base for docking puproses

the rest was in my cyclops

i filled almost every space in the cyclops with shelves

it lagged a bit

but it was playable

and then after i finished the story i came bsck and made a base in every biome

the save is now so laggy on ps4

[atomic night]

Prototype reaper enclosure, thoughts?

[patent shadow]

ask shadowsycthes when he's on, he made one so i consider him an expert

[keen oracle]

ah a fellow Reaper cage builder

not bad although it's a tad bit small

[atomic night]

It's more of a permanent involuntary residence to protect the reaper from sea dragons than a cage

[keen oracle]

this is my hardcore one in the Dunes, the exterior is mostly finished but I still have to do the interior

[atomic night]

Oh wow

I can smell the lag on that

Looks sick

[keen oracle]

yeah... haven't worked on it in ages because of that xD

[woven arch]

1 base in the game 😄

[frail vault]

bro there's like reaper cage veterans

me thinking I'm doing something cool

[frail vault]

Oh dude that's sick!

[keen oracle]

that's a title I never expected to be given 😂

[frail vault]

not a title I ever expected to give

[frail vault]

wait are there even reapers in it?

[patent shadow]

I don't think so because it was too laggy

[frail vault]

epic fail

still that's incredible the absolute size of it

[keen oracle]

not yet

didn't say I was gonna abandon it, I'm pretty much just waiting for either a better pc or sometime I'll jump the gun and finish it anyways despite the lag

[balmy escarp]

how do i connect vertical connectors?

[pseudo rain]

Connect vertical connectors to other vertical connectors or to a base?

[crisp horizon]

found it

[frail vault]

I've been working on this mountains island base

view of the quarantine enforcement platform:

main view from the peak of the mountain:

[pale scarab]

bing chilling

[modest portal]

you did that on hardcore survival?

[royal whale]

i miss playing subnautica

like the original one

[keen oracle]

there is no Dunes, nor Reapers in BZ lol

[keen oracle]

yessir I did

[pseudo rain]

Impressive

Do you play on building more to It?

[keen oracle]

the exterior is mostly finished but I still have the interior to fill in, so yes

actually getting the Reaper inside is gonna be the fun part...

[modest portal]

damn

[narrow granite]

Pretty much finished first base, Safe Shallows Docking Zone. Working on a Jellyshroom Research Base.

[woven arch]

hahaha

[candid dawn]

very proud of my bz interior

[sour idol]

🔥🔥 looking cool

[candid dawn]

really excited to get my personal room done but it’s on hold since i’m missing some blueprints

[simple stone]

My first proper base

[mild silo]

sickk

[simple stone]

New base on floating island

below

inside

I'm very happy that the idea actually worked out - I wasn't sure the game would let me build it like that

[woeful palm]

yoooo awesome work that's rad

[steady hull]

Best base location. No big predators, and oh the views.

[pale scarab]

cool but isnt there a ghost leaviathan roaming not far away?

[simple stone]

it's far below, and ghost leviathans aren't a risk for bases anyway

(as far as I know)

[pale scarab]

oh ok i was thinking of building there but were unsure due to the threat of a leviathan

[sudden sage]

just dont build at northwestern

borders dunes, mtns

[weary jasper]

i wanna make a base under thr floating island so bad but the power is the only problem

[pseudo rain]

Reactor

[pale scarab]

solar panels or bio reactor

[waxen timber]

Am I the only one who feels like skin colours in Simpsons are a bit weird?

The most used colour being yellow and every other colour being somewhat more "accurate"

[deep lichen]

It's a cartoon. It doesn't need to be accurate, or make any sense.

[waxen timber]

But like

Why?

It's more of consistency thing

[steady hull]

Because it doesn't matter.

And "...Groening also thought that having yellow characters would make viewers believe that there was something wrong with their televisions. He felt that this was appropriate for the daily lives of the Simpson family."

I like that. Very Groening.

[pseudo rain]

Cause yellow is an eye-catching color, so people flipping through channels would easily notice it

[mild silo]

The design is very human.

[quartz dove]

Here is my Cove Tree Base right below the entrance to the cove.
The tower on the right side has 2x tripple Alien containment with a bioreactor in the middle.
THe middle right tower is my greenhouse with 4x aquarium in the bottom for fish variety.
The middle left tower is constrution and storage.
The tower on the left side has 4x water purifier at teh bottom and living room in the upper compartment.
Sea moth and prawn suit storage can be seen above ( at ~ 870 m).
Oh, and energy comes by 6x thermal plants from the upper side behind the ledge.

[weary jasper]

man how do u guys build nice looking bases all my bases look like a toddlee built it

[weary jasper]

i dont think solar pannels are gonna work

[weary jasper]

bio reactor sm stuff😞

[pale scarab]

Depends where u build the solar panels but you'd need a bioreactor eventually

[pale scarab]

Not really

[weary jasper]

oh nvm im dumb

im gonna use

that is niceeee

[glossy spruce]

wait what

I have a base there

theres a ghostie nearby????!!!!

[pale scarab]

Not nearby but it spawns not far away about 400m down

[glossy spruce]

wait the mushroom forest is near the void?

[pale scarab]

No

[glossy spruce]

is it a lost river entrance

[pale scarab]

No

Grand reef

[pallid gyro]

ghosts spawn in more areas than just the lost river and void

[glossy spruce]

why does the ghostie spawn

[glossy spruce]

oh

[pale scarab]

Grand reef @glossy spruce

On the edge or above

[pale scarab]

So am i

lol

whats the weirdest base glitch youve had

once a peeper swam through the walls of my base

it was okay.. until the stalker followed it in

[pale scarab]

I glitched inside a reaper....

[craggy thunder]

I fell into the void after getting up from my seat

[pale scarab]

I once swam into the void while trying to go to the island

But my friends saved me

[craggy thunder]

Nice, I swam into the void in the glow mushroom caves. Thought I found a new area that was taking forever to load 😂

[pale scarab]

XD

[weary jasper]

a rabbit ray got stuck in my house

[glossy spruce]

bwhahahahahha

[glossy spruce]

wait hang on is there an entrance to the void in the jellyshroom caves??

[pale scarab]

idk

[craggy thunder]

Well... not really. It just depends on how well your platform can load the areas. I can enter the void from just about any where the textures haven't loaded in. Wouldn't recommend unless you're a frequent saver tho

[pale scarab]

Whats yalls fav creature in sub btw?

mine is reefback, as annoyingas they are

[narrow granite]

Squidshark, Warper or Ghost Ray.

[craggy thunder]

Some screenies of a build I’ve been working on for a while

[pale scarab]

Beatiful

[main stirrup]

Best seadargon contaiment very cheap layout

[pale scarab]

yall like garlic bread?

[pale scarab]

the crabsquid!?!?

[waxen timber]

I think the blood crawlers

[pale scarab]

they still ugly

[fast quest]

This is actually one of the best bz bases I've ever seen, gg

[craggy thunder]

I think that’s it, I couldn’t recall their names

[foggy saddle]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[modest portal]

has to lag as hell

[pseudo rain]

Crabsquid and Oculus

[pale scarab]

why the crabsquid, i hate them

[craggy thunder]

It runs very well actually. Having a ton a habitat structures seems to contribute to lag more than interior decorations. It only lags when I have a couple of plants growing

[modest portal]

interesting

because when i built a 6 piece base, it already lagged a bit on ps4

[craggy thunder]

FAIR, because it did lag horribly on the ps4 with only a couple of base pieces
On the ps5 version, HUGE and NOTICABLE improvements on performance

I even tried playing Subnautica ps4 version on the ps5
That was a big nooooooooo thanks from me 😬

[modest portal]

well ps4 games werent designed for running on ps5

only new games were

like ones from 2021-22

because the older ones dont have the better textures i think

i would love to see how it looks on ps5 but i rather buy a pc

[craggy thunder]

I know, I just love comparing information
I knew it was going to run bad, but I wanted to see how bad

PC is the way to go, they got settings that you can only* dream* about adjusting on consoles

[modest portal]

like did it lag or the textures?

[modest portal]

fr

[craggy thunder]

BOTH, lol

[modest portal]

damn

that bad?

i kinda dont understand one thing

how does nfs heat have 4x better graphics and it runs better than subnautica on my ps4

• heat is more complicated

[craggy thunder]

Depending on what I was doing, yeah
I could even enter the void from wherever

[modest portal]

💀

[craggy thunder]

nfs? I don't understand that abbreviation

[modest portal]

need for speed

[craggy thunder]

OHHH, I wouldn't know anything about that

[modest portal]

a photo for exmaple

way better graphics than subnautica and its still running better

probably all magic lies in optimization

[keen oracle]

some of the interior shots on this one made me wonder if it was modded for a second, very nice

I love the use of picture frames and signs

[uneven warren]

More bases pls

[craggy thunder]

I love how your base is just above the blue water

[mild silo]

Yeah. Thought it was a nice touch, the blue water kinda clips through the bottom rooms tho

[jagged yew]

Check out nintendo

The almighty gods of game optimization

Who fit breath of the wild into 13.4GB when any other company probably would have used 60+ GB.

[pseudo rain]

They have the coolest sound of all, like a Muto from Godzilla

[timber mica]

I have 8 or 9 massive bases

in one save

every interior is JAM packed with detailing

hence the fps is terrible

its hard to show how truly massive this save is sadly

here is the island spaceport for example

its still wip but essentially only the lost river and island base need to be finished

the other 6 are done

also dug a massive tunnel so that cyclopes can go into the jellyshroom cave and a base there serves as a sort of traffic control

there is also an extensive tunnel network connecting various sea bases which spans probably around 10 km in total length all completed with emergency shelters and lighting

once this save is done I will be uploading it to the nexus mods website for you guys to enjoy

I probably spent around 1500 hours working on all this due to the framerate :3

the coolest bases are the 2 in the jellyshroom biome but the bases are built inside the cave walls so its not really easy to paint the picture with a screenshot like this

heres an example of one of the many installations just built into walls connected to the service tunnels

sadly this can only be played with a beefy computer that can just brute force its way through the bad optimization for something of this size...

the idea for this entire project is to show what could have happened if the crew of the aurora mostly survived and built a space colony where the crash happened

this save was actually started in survival and I slowly started building stuff but when the framerate got too bad I had to start playing in creative mode so that the structural calculation didn't make the game run at like 1 frame every 10 seconds...

in total I think there are something like 40 fully decorated appartements with at least 1 warehouse per base and other utility rooms

there are also bars, shops, labs, secret R&D installations doted here and there hinting towards unethical projects and what lead to natural selection

honestly there is so much I probably missed a couple stuff

[pale scarab]

W.T.F

[timber mica]

had to restart this project like 3 times over the course of the games development

at last I am about to finish it, its about like 90% done

[pale scarab]

how much time did this take

like

just how many hours

[timber mica]

steam says 5000 hours lol

but there is a lot of AFK time

but uh

[pale scarab]

still

[timber mica]

elite dangerous is worst lmao

[pale scarab]

that 5 k hours

[timber mica]

its worth it though

[pale scarab]

how

[timber mica]

100% worth it

[pale scarab]

how is it worth it

[timber mica]

idk its like an interactive painting

[pale scarab]

fair enough

[timber mica]

if better tools existed it could have taken way less time

but uh

this game lives literally rent free in my mind

[pale scarab]

id love to build sum like that but my ps4 would turn into a titanium oven

[timber mica]

I do work full time though

[timber mica]

most likely xD

my 6k rig STRUGGLES

top specs

[pale scarab]

wow

[timber mica]

its just not optimized lol

only runs on 4 cores max

[pale scarab]

my ps4 would turn into a nuclear reactor

[timber mica]

the real issue is the fact the game renders all the bases no matter where you are on the map

[pale scarab]

...

rip my ps4

[timber mica]

and super detailed lmao

[pale scarab]

at this point idk what to say

[timber mica]

theres nothing to say really

honestly I had 2 choices

work on something like this and finish it = no headache

or

get a girlfriend = lots of headaches

the choice was obvious 😏

also learned a bunch of stuff doing this actually

especially playing with lighting and planning ahead in organic environments

[pale scarab]

haha, you aint wrong XD

[quartz dove]

HOLY 5k hours?
That is some dedication to the game and building.

[pale scarab]

ikr like i dont even have 5k hours all together

[weary jasper]

i have 4 days on subnautica😭

[pseudo rain]

mod that adds the sea voyager ship

basically a better cyclops

[uneven warren]

@pseudo rain can you provide some more pictures of it? Haven't seen this mod in a long time and it looks like it has come a long way.

[pseudo rain]

exploring the platform for the 3rd time cause this is my first proper modded run

then i'll send more

[waxen timber]

Still stuff to work on but looks far better than it did

What about the helm?

[uneven warren]

^

[craggy thunder]

This time: I fell outside my base, nearly died from fall damage,
now exploring the ocean on foot and seeing how long I can survive...
after getting up from my seat

[harsh patrol]

vertical column to the surface of the water

because i love sunlight and i wanna make a proper greenhouse

the large room

[craggy thunder]

Decide to work on my base a little…
And then went on an adventure

[craggy thunder]

Niiiice, how many columns total?

[harsh patrol]

About 23

used alot of titanium

[loud mural]

W h a t

[keen oracle]

holy cow, and I thought my hardcore save with 130+ hours was impressive

my framerate also sucks, hence why I still haven't finished my latest project yet 😂

[craggy thunder]

I spent 2 hours testing possibilities and wanted to see if I could reach my other base on foot

And I did <3

[rocky oracle]

jellyroom base

which i cant say the name of

[deep lichen]

how did you get a cyclops in the jellyshroom cave?

[steel nebula]

Now im curious about that too

[final niche]

Wow

[patent shadow]

how did you manage to fit a cyclops in the jellyshroom caves

amazing base though

[pseudo rain]

Very pink

[pseudo rain]

Vaporwave

[harsh patrol]

base 😄

the grand reef is very dark 😦

[pale scarab]

Cool base

[merry rapids]

lost river base

[craggy thunder]

I love me some lost river bases

Are you still working on it?

[merry rapids]

you better believe it!

it now requires two bioreactors running at the same time

and it has a hoverfish too

[craggy thunder]

lmao, oooh thank goodness.
I'm always left wondering if bases have their standard hoverfish

[fast quest]

niiice

Just built and furnished my Cyclops, which I named Rocinante after The Expanse, it's still a WIP but I think it's looking good so far

exterior shot

[merry rapids]

great furnishment and all, but where is industry standard hoverfish

[fast quest]

Still need to fill up that aquarium, dw there'll be plenty of hoverfish soon

[craggy thunder]

Very sleek design!

[fast quest]

Also want to put my two holefish Cora and Karl that I've had since the start of the game in there too

[merry rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/hoverfish-speen-hoverfish-hoverfish-spin-subnautica-subnautica-hoverfish-gif-22459531

[craggy thunder]

LMAO, is the left side dedicated to storing titanium?

[fast quest]

The first 6 lockers are all full of titanium, the 4 after that have quartz, and then after that I have some copper, salt, and gold

[pseudo rain]

what about food and water

[merry rapids]

MARBLEMELON

[craggy thunder]

That's smart actually

[fast quest]

I have plants for my food rn, I haven't fully loaded everything I want to have in this base into storage yet

[merry rapids]

marblemelon is much better than lantern trees

lantern trees are really only good as fuel for bioreactors

[fast quest]

I agree, I do like having them around though because of how they look

[fast quest]

I do really like this base though. What part of the Lost River is it in?

[merry rapids]

the ||blood kelp trench entrance||

a little bit in

[harsh patrol]

My base have no hoverfish (i ate them all)

[harsh patrol]

Theyre my #1 fruit

You can just spam collect the fruits and eat them all

[timber mica]

eh, I have like 30k hours combined in all games

or 40k

I don't even know anymore lol

stuff just piles up over the years

[timber mica]

yeah thats pretty relatable sadly...

[timber mica]

heres a pic showing how most of the bases are built into terrain

or at least sections of them

thats only half of this base

[timber mica]

literally looks like an underwater city from some angles

[pale scarab]

Hoverfish>

[timber mica]

added more decorative buildings to really give that underwater city look

honestly wish the game ran better

would actually make all those rooms functionnal and not just LOD 😭

actually... it might be possible

[pale scarab]

why tf does it say youve been playing subnautica for 3 days

[timber mica]

launching the save takes almost like 30 minutes

so I just let it run a lot when I go to work

saves time overall

[pale scarab]

bro

im not even gonnna ask

[merry rapids]

no, stop eating your hoverfish

[timber mica]

this is the tunnel base I mentionned for those (if there are any) that are curious

connects the blood kelp biome to the jellyshroom cave and also connects to the service tunnel network

the other base which is situated at the other end of the cave is like 4 times the size lol

[merry rapids]

added some more windows

[pale scarab]

Should i go to the jellyshroom forest or the island (not the one w gun) first, I have a seamoth and wanna make progress and get multiputpose room

[merry rapids]

yeah

[fast quest]

I usually go floating island first as soon as I get a seamoth

[cerulean zodiac]

Both are fairly easy to visit once you get a Seamoth

[craggy thunder]

I go wherever I find first, because I have no sense of direction and I never know when I’m going to randomly spend 5 - 30 minutes to make my emotional-support-hoverfish kiss all the other fishies

[keen oracle]

yeah I can say the same for some of mine hehe

[torn axle]

U did that in survival?

[balmy whale]

@keen oracle which biome did you build it in

[torn axle]

It looks like Grand Reef to me

or blood kelp

[fast quest]

Deep Grand Reef I think

[balmy whale]

The grand reef is the red grass area

🤔

[torn axle]

um... no

[balmy whale]

It has been a while since i played the original subnatica

I been playing below zero alot

[torn axle]

the red grass area is Grassy Plateaus

[fast quest]

Grand Reef is the biome with those blue anchor pods, it's under the Floating Island

[balmy whale]

Thanks now I’ll try to build something in the grassy plateaus

Starting from the ground up

But it’s going to be in creative but it is still going to be quiet impressive

With just multipurpose room and tubes

[torn axle]

ok

good luck

[next moat]

The only thing I build is small little shelters about 20 of em everywhere with everything I need for a stop by

[tulip hound]

bro fr made an entire city

[balmy whale]

I’m not even a quarter of the way there

[oak summit]

crab

[balmy whale]

But im trying my best

[oak summit]

thats the first thing ive ever said in this discord

[oak summit]

how?

[keen oracle]

I did indeed

and yes it's in the Deep Grand Reef

I have another similarly sized one in the Blood Kelp Trench in my hardcore save

[merry rapids]

where is industry standard hoverfish tho

[keen oracle]

can't find any screenshots but I'm sure there's at least a couple in there 😛

[next moat]

Wait there’s a tunnel from the mushroom caves to the blood kelp huh

[keen oracle]

not naturally

he probably used some mod that brings back the terraformer, or an older version that it still works on

[harsh patrol]

Lr outpost

It took a while to set up, but i can finally be safe in the lr now

[tulip hound]

its a WiP but it works :)

[pallid gyro]

please, delete that

bro there are kids in this server

get rid of that stuff

[covert venture]

hi

im new

im trying ot find a map but it dosent sem i can find one

can anyone help

[covert venture]

me?

[pallid gyro]

https://subnauticamap.io/ heres that map btw

[covert venture]

who?

[pallid gyro]

cant remember

i physically cant ban people, if you hadnt noticed

aand they're gone

[night trout]

Google the maps

Disgusting

[glossy spruce]

yes same

[rocky oracle]

my globally revered back of the aurora base

this angle shows more of the important stuff

[merry kestrel]

whats the green thingy

on the left

[rocky oracle]

quantum vehicle teleport pad

[pallid gyro]

its from a mod

[marble frigate]

Is there a link where I can find that mod?

[pallid gyro]

cant find the mod. sorry

[uneven warren]

Mods just got broken thanks to the new update so you'll be waiting a bit before they're even working. But that sounds like one of the FCS mods.

[velvet dirge]

This is the bedroom I made in my survival save

[marble frigate]

Not if I remain on the older version, right?

[uneven warren]

Correct.

[velvet dirge]

I now have a big room...just, what do I do with it...

[quick dove]

Hotel

[velvet dirge]

maybe in my creative save but that just doesn't seem like a good idea here

I have this same dilemma with big rooms in BZ

It took me until after beating the game to actually make one

[astral seal]

Same and i didn’t even use half the space

i feel like big rooms are more usefull if you just have like 1 or 2 big room as your entire base or if your building a creative world thing

[keen oracle]

trying to figure out what to fill all the rooms with is probably my biggest challenge with making large scale bases tbh

somehow I've managed to build bases with upwards of 20 multipurpose rooms and still found a way to put enough stuff in them

but hey, I enjoy a challenge

[pastel copper]

My little starting base in the new update

[narrow granite]

Very efficient.

[red fable]

Is it just me or do your lockers seem smaller than they should be

Usually I'm only able to fit 3 wall lockers per wall if I cram them as much as possible

[pastel copper]

Maybe the new placement stuff from Below Zero changed something about how close you can place them, or we got used to using the grid snap mod 🙂

[red fable]

Maybe grid snap lol

[velvet dirge]

The easiest way to do this is set a theme for your save. My creative save as an example is basically a corporation with tons of outposts, and an absolutely massive main base with 10 cyclopses.

[pastel copper]

I now have my entire base in my cyclops and ready for transport

[velvet dirge]

My cyclops is very basic and I only use it for transporting large amounts of materials to various areas in order to build outposts

Well, very basic is a stretch

Actually what am i saying it's about the same as yours

Just, less lockers, one less growbed, and no posters

And no battery charger because those are obsolete once you get swim charge fins

[balmy escarp]

it is from the FCS mods

they have a discord server where you can download and play with

it

But youll have to use legacy

[marble frigate]

Ah, thank you very much!

[merry kestrel]

i have my power sources in 2 large rooms (2 alien containments, 4 bioreactors)

at least

in my safe shallows base

[steel nebula]

Decided to build a decorated base with the new base peices. Built in creative.

[balmy escarp]

nice

[stray lynx]

and what happens if your cyclops gets wrecked?

[pseudo rain]

Gets wrecked

[pastel copper]

Well in that situation I'd be entirely screwed. Fortunately I found a nice spot for my base and construction has gone along nicely

[stray lynx]

i read something about when cyclops gets wrecked, everything inside it stays intact.

[pseudo rain]

How?

[stray lynx]

who knows.

[balmy escarp]

he reload

[pseudo rain]

Alterra at it's finest

[stray lynx]

so if your cyclops is stocked with loot and it gets wrecked on the way back to your base, you can still get the loot back.

[pastel copper]

I believe basically just the actual cyclops stuff like the upgrades and such get destroyed, but stuff you've built or stored within the cyclops remains so you can scavenge the wreck and not lose potential hours of grinding

[balmy escarp]

yes you can

[stray lynx]

i'm using subnauticas native controller support and it keeps registering input from m&mb for no reason. any advice?

[stray lynx]

once something is build, for example a locker, i can't move the locker itself while it has loot inside it?...

[woeful palm]

yeah that's correct

you have to deconstruct and rebuild it

[ornate escarp]

I love the Glass Dome! Very nice!

[pseudo rain]

I’m just now learning that there are 3 gorge plushies

[velvet dirge]

thank time capsules for that one

[velvet dirge]

seriously more people should put posters and decorations inside time capsules

[pseudo rain]

Fr

[woeful palm]

god yes please

[pseudo rain]

My dream for Subnautica 3 is the ability to craft decorations

[deep lichen]

What's the green thing on the desk?

[river dune]

thats the jacksepticeye thingy i think

[waxen timber]

Ye

[deep lichen]

🤔

[velvet dirge]

yes it is

[ornate escarp]

Oh yeah, they brought that back.

[waxen timber]

Why was it removed?

[rose flume]

The Steam inventory integration was bugged for some time.

[fast quest]

Put an arboretum in the base. The flora choices are more limited than in my usual bases because the decorations mod hasn't been updated, but I think it still looks great.

[red fable]

Oof I can only imagine the deep fried area of your base next to the creepvine cluster growbed

[steel nebula]

You can actually see a tiny bit of yellow glow in the second pic on the hallway floor.

[pseudo rain]

So yesterday with the new update I remade my starter base and maybe I will post it here today

[keen oracle]

very pretty, I love plants

[wanton pumice]

the new update is stunning

[keen oracle]

except for table coral

[deep lichen]

Used to get four pieces of before 2.0. Now it's just one.

[night trout]

Im questioning why they made bz base pieces available in survival of subnautica

[night trout]

You make me tempted to make a whole big bz room a greenhouse room lol

[waxen timber]

Because very cool

And more lore I guess that since the times of ekhem they made new stuff

[pseudo rain]

Aquariums on top, the two pics in the middle are the same room and the last one is the base from outside, btw i always play on freedom

[steady hull]

Three so far. 🙂

Infinite food/energy supply with the Oculi.

Enjoying the dome.

[pseudo rain]

it explodes

[fast quest]

Video tour of my WIP Kelp Forest Base and Cyclops https://youtu.be/hNwLJMzFtJw

[astral slate]

That’s a rlly good base! Honestly kinda jealous cuz I don’t have as much imagination as u do 😅

[balmy escarp]

where did you build it?

nvm

[fast quest]

Kelp Forest, specifically the part right east of the Underwater Islands and south of the Mountain Island

[steady hull]

Right about here. 🙂

[balmy escarp]

i didnt see the mushroom at first

[keen oracle]

very nice, the multipurpose room with a dome and mostly surrounded by windows is one of my favourite techniques in BZ

[steel nebula]

My favourite is probably a fully reinforced multipurpose room as a reactor room.

[hazy valley]

my seamoth is below crush depth, just how i like it

eventually i want to fully surrond the cove tree, just so that i can park all the vehicles i am planning on making

survival btw

[exotic rampart]

Cyclops looks best in black and green :)

[patent shadow]

wait, in a moonpool they don't take damage?

[ornate escarp]

Nope. The same goes with the Cyclops Docking Bay.

[patent shadow]

dang, so my seamoth did glitch into the backrooms of my cyclops and didn't die to depth

[high vine]

What should I put in this empty spot in my base?

[patent shadow]

what do you already have?

[high vine]

Storage, a bed, crafting, moonpool, scanner room, kitchen

[patent shadow]

make a desk/work area

[high vine]

I have a desk in my bedroom area

This can be practical by the way

[patent shadow]

water filtration

[ornate escarp]

Impossible since there's no accessible wall panels.

[patent shadow]

there isn't?

I'm gonna have to take a bit to get used to the large rooms

only problem I'm currently broke because I built the cyclops

[high vine]

I didn't think that would fit by there, I don't know what to put

[patent shadow]

you could put like decorative plants there

[high vine]

Such as?

[patent shadow]

prestons plant, fevered peppers, idk

[craggy thunder]

Hmmm, maybe a simple:
lounge area, research station, comms station, quick storage, charging station, or an open concept bathroom?

[high vine]

I might make a lounge and charger, sounds good. My research area will be with an ACU

[craggy thunder]

Sounds like a plan then Ohhhh neat, no idea what an ACU is tho

[high vine]

Alien containment unit. The big aquariums.

[pseudo rain]

I’ve finally mastered the art of base building

Pro tip: use foundations at varying heights, cool bases go up left down right, all over

[patent shadow]

yeah one of my bases in a save is like all up and down a mountain, I'll see if I can find it

[patent shadow]

@pseudo rain

[pseudo rain]

Not a huge fan of super tall skyscrapers but that’s just my preference

Looks awesome still

[hazy valley]

starting to build first aqaurium unit

[pseudo rain]

Foundations are sorely underrated

[hazy valley]

will probably build more vertical towards the center, and exterior farms will fill the gaps between those 2 moonpools

[topaz mica]

my base : what do you think of it ? got any tips or advices ?

[chilly knoll]

Base I made a few months ago in my first play through

For viewing the void shrimp

[simple stone]

nice view

[hallow mango]

looks cool

[pseudo rain]

Black magic teach me how to build In the air

[simple stone]

Well... you start from the water

[pseudo rain]

Uh how long does it exactly take? For something as high as that

[simple stone]

took me about 30 mins. Once I got the hang of it, I was going up two "base tiers" every 50 seconds

my first base was just a single basic compartment with a hatch, solar panel, fabricator and two lockers

[pseudo rain]

Go gather some titanium and build anything random until you like it

[pseudo rain]

Bro I lived in the life pod until I reached the ||lava zone|| 💀

[simple stone]

first of all, if you need outcrops, build a scanner room and scan for them

[pseudo rain]

Go drill some titanium with your prawn

[simple stone]

second, outcrops are a terrible way to get titanium - just gather metal salvage (which you can also scan for), or find large titanium chunks and drill them with prawn

[pseudo rain]

Living in your cyclops is probably the best option

[keen oracle]

you ain't seen nothing yet xD

old save that got deleted, 500m in the sky

in my current survival one I have a 1 km high tower of vertical connectors

[pseudo rain]

I want to see what you posted but garbage internet won’t load the pics🗿

[keen oracle]

oof

[pseudo rain]

Nvm it loaded

Did that take months?

That’s a whole air city

[keen oracle]

don't remember how long it took but I don't think it was months

it's somewhat smaller than this one for example

at least in resources used

[pseudo rain]

Well yeah but building in the air is probably harder than building in water

[keen oracle]

true

I plan to build out the base on top of the 1 km one, but I haven't played in ages cause of lag

you know one thing that really annoys me about building, you can't put foundations on top of other foundations even if they're a kilometer below you

[pseudo rain]

Alterra gonna be confused when they go back to the planet to explore it and see a whole air city

[keen oracle]

here we are

hard to see but in the second pic the beacon says 1003 m

put down on some foundations just above the water surface

[pseudo rain]

If you build high enough you can probably go back to earth or smth 💀

[keen oracle]

iirc the skybox limit is the same as the void, 8192 m

then it either teleports you back or the game just bugs out

can't remember if it works differently up in the air

[pseudo rain]

What’s even the technique for building high in the air?

Spam vertical compartments?

[keen oracle]

can't find the recording I did of it, but basically you put down a compartment, get in it with a hatch, put a hatch in the ceiling and pop out that, deconstruct, build up a few vertical connectors then another compartment until you can't reach anymore, put a hatch in that, get in, get on the roof again, deconstruct the lower one and replace it with a vertical connector then repeat

once you get a rhythm going you can do it pretty quickly

[pseudo rain]

That’s alot of effort to do that for a whole km

[keen oracle]

it didn't actually take as long as I thought it would

only a few hours iirc

[pseudo rain]

Does anything change in the sky other than water filtration machines?

[keen oracle]

hull integrity doesn't exist above sea level

[pseudo rain]

Oh you can just put glass everywhere and observatories?

[keen oracle]

yep

I did that in my old sky base, one wall was just glass compartments to make a big window

[pseudo rain]

How did you not drain all the materials in the map yet lol

[keen oracle]

this was the current one when I just reached the top

[keen oracle]

there's a crap ton of titanium if you know where to look for it, I've probably spent over 7k in my hardcore save

[pseudo rain]

Dear lord bottom right

What is that thing?

[keen oracle]

that one's still a work in progress lol, it's almost done

Reaper containment in the Dunes

exterior is pretty much done, but I still need to finish the interior

[pseudo rain]

Where the reaper at tho

How are you gonna get it in

[keen oracle]

make a hole in the wall and lure it with a creature decoy is the plan

then stasis it in place and fill the hole back in

haven't done that yet, I'm kind of waiting for a better pc so my game doesn't lag so awfully to the point where it's almost unplayable

not sure how long that's gonna be tho

could be quite a while

[pseudo rain]

How are you gonna make sure it’s not just gonna keep bumping into the walls instead of going through the hole?

[keen oracle]

if I make the hole big enough and get its attention I'm hoping it should follow me through

I gotta lead it here first with a Seamoth or something

[pseudo rain]

I guess

I wonder if you can make leviathans follow you to the void

[keen oracle]

I mean I've gotten the NBKZ Ghost into the Kelp Forest before so I wouldn't be surprised xD

that makes me curious how the void Ghosts would react to a normal one

I should try that sometime

anyways I gotta go do some cleaning
didn't realize this was bases chat until now oop, hopefully we didn't clog the chat too much

[pseudo rain]

It says for the juvenile ones they eat anything. Maybe that also applies to the ones in the void since they don’t have anything other than microorganisms. But the devs probably didn’t thing about anyone doing that and didn’t make special reactions between leviathans

[sudden sage]

All ghosts feed off of microorganisms but can eat larger things; juveniles will eat anything too like u said

Thats why the voidies will still chomp chomp you

[fast quest]

got bored and made this little compact base in creative

[keen oracle]

you should try making a 1-room base if you haven't already

taking a single base piece like a moonpool, scanner room, ect. and trying to fit as much functionality into it as possible while still making it feel like an actually nice base

I've done it with an I-compartment, observatory, and moonpool so far

[fast quest]

Yeah I've been wanting to try that

[wooden tundra]

my entire base

[safe geyser]

woah bro that's crazy

and you're telling me a little gun crapped that out?

[wooden tundra]

yes

[wary hornet]

i hope theres enough titanium in the game for my building addiction

[severe latch]

I have no idea on the number of hours I have spent getting all the glass given that the specimen tank also goes up 49 floors.
