[wanton pumice]

quartz

[keen oracle]

don't worry, you won't run out for quite some time
if I can make all of this in my hardcore and still have titanium left you'll be good xD

[pseudo rain]

Way easier to do that now that we have these big rooms in the new update

[keen oracle]

true, although I feel like it kind of defeats the challenge

[pseudo rain]

Btw did they respawn all materials with the update? I am starting to see alot more titanium deposits in the lost river now after the update

[keen oracle]

I have no idea, haven't played the new update yet

[pseudo rain]

These new rooms are insane they have the size of 4-3 multi purpose rooms

Can you connect them to other ones directly or do you have to use buildings or a compartment between them?

[craggy thunder]

They can stack on top of each other like multi purpose rooms

[pseudo rain]

oh

Now I feel like wasting all my titanium and building 10 of them on the top of each other

[craggy thunder]

I also noticed an abundance of materials again as well. I also have a base in the lost river. I had to start looking in other biomes for titanium before the update

[pseudo rain]

They probably respawned materials which is pretty good since I almost completely drained everything in the river and ||lava zone||

[cerulean zodiac]

If I recall correctly, every update resets the map

This reset also respawns dead creatures, I think

[pseudo rain]

More leviathans to slay🙏

[cerulean zodiac]

Yes

I imagine someone's killed off a Leviathan to build a base in it's territory

They're gonna get a surprise

[keen oracle]

good, it'll bring back the leviathans people have needlessly killed

[pseudo rain]

Why kill a leviathan to build a base around it? Leviathans are the cool thing in the area not the terrain. I’d rather build in a boring place with a leviathan than a cool place that’s peaceful as hell

[keen oracle]

I mean, both are cool

why not a cool biome with a leviathan, like the NBKZ or Grand Reef

[jagged yew]

Try a 1 moonpool base. Pretty fun.

[pale scarab]

indeed it is

[keen oracle]

I have, actually

[sudden sage]

my main base of operations, stationed in tree cove

[pseudo rain]

Nice

[harsh patrol]

misty

[pseudo rain]

Isn’t that drowning?💀

[harsh patrol]

Nope

It's lr brine

[waxen timber]

The tree

Wait, if it was other part of LR would it hurt?

[fast quest]

Probably just a visual glitch so I doubt it

[craggy thunder]

Yeah, it’s just a visual glitch. I’ve tried it and it doesn’t hurt ya

Sets the mood tho

[weary jasper]

wouldve shown the inside but its not decorated

it's decorated but some parts aren't

rate the base

[pale scarab]

7/10 id like to see the inside and would like a litle more size verticaly and some filler rooms but if u fix that its a easy 10/10 for me

[cerulean zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-explosion-nuke-bikini-atoll-gif-8958390
This is your base if you swim inside the containment

[pseudo rain]

how lmao

[weary jasper]

im still adding stuff to the base

here's a nice aquarium i got in the middle of the base with gary fish and cuddle fish

[jovial hedge]

Oh no🫣🫣😵

[wary hornet]

I dumped all of my crashfish I had stored into the aquarium I'm gonna make more crashfish

[pseudo rain]

How do you get them

[pseudo rain]

Eggs

What do they look like? And how do i hatch the eggs?

[pallid gyro]

crashfish eggs look like big red marbles. you just drop them in an alien containment to hatch them

[wary hornet]

I got multiple eggs in the shallow area and just went from that

[merry rapids]

lr bases are my favorite type of base

[pseudo rain]

Would live to make a lr base but that sounds way too late game for me

Maybe an outpost

[keen oracle]

you know what, the Lost River is one of the few biomes I probably wouldn't want to make a base in (apart from the Tree Cove cause it's beautiful)
which seems strange given how much I like to build bases in all sorts of places, idk what it is exactly about the Lost River but I just don't really like it for bases, maybe it's the green colour that puts me off
and that's weird too come to think of it cause green is my favourite colour xD

I love the Lava Zone and Tree Cove for bases but the rest of the Lost River is just kinda meh
could also be due to the fact that the whole area feels like a giant corridor rather than a closed off biome

[merry rapids]

idk man, i love it

[pseudo rain]

Hey guy, just a question i don't know where to place my base that can help me ( in which biome according to resources and beauty thank <3) and merry Christmas

[patent shadow]

do you want a central base, a pretty base, or a base that has access to lots of resources

[pseudo rain]

A pretty base and a lots of resources

[patent shadow]

I'd suggest tree cove or grand reef/deep grand reef. They can reach a lot of resources pretty shortly
the tree cove can get to the ILZ quickly as well as the LR and it has a bit of minable nodes in the tree cove
the grand reef has more resources close to it but you can reach the floating island and the LR pretty easily

[keen oracle]

Deep Grand Reef is a good one, I have a base there

you can go Blood Kelp Zone if you want tons of quartz

[pseudo rain]

Ok Thank you bro and big love from France 🇫🇷

[pseudo rain]

Currently I am more in the resources to make the cyclop to explore other biome

[keen oracle]

Deep Grand Reef has a decent amount of resources for that

although if you haven't made the Cyclops yet it might be a bit deep for you just yet

[pseudo rain]

Oh thah nice

[patent shadow]

tbh the cyclops resources can basically be found in the grassy plateaus and thing

iirc its plasteel ingots, advanced wiring kit, enamled glass, lead, and smth else

[pseudo rain]

At worst we go into the void

The lost rivers is good?

[patent shadow]

its pretty good yeah

if you don't mind the leviathans

[keen oracle]

Lost River is amazing for resources

there's large resource deposits everywhere

[heady jacinth]

My starter shack. Tiny, but it's all you need for a long time.

I don't even have a fabricator-I use the one in the pod.

[keen oracle]

I wouldn't say a long time lol

this was my starter base in hardcore 😛

[fallow haven]

I've been using FCS Mods for my bases, might end up sharing them here and ask for feedback

[gentle stag]

I miss building on wall ivy planters. I feel there is a loss of creativity now

Its sad it does not let us anymore. I use to like to out fabricators and other stuff on wall planters. It made it look good.

It really highlights the items hung from it. But i cant do this anymore since the recent update. That makes me sad.

[woeful palm]

i feel the same way :( i used to hang wall planters on ivy walls, loved how green it all was, really miss it but haven't been able to since 2.0

[gentle stag]

I want it back.

[torn phoenix]

Ghost tree lab

[craggy thunder]

THEY DID WHAT NOW!? That was my bread and butter

[gentle stag]

I miss it too

[woeful palm]

it like, really takes the point of ivy walls away for me if i can't even hang wall plants over them 😭 i feel like there's almost always a better/more decorative use for that space now

[craggy thunder]

Don’t worry Fam, I got y’all…. Kinda of…
I was able to recreate a glitch I found in below zero a while, and been experimenting with it whenever I had energy

I’ve tried it out in OG Subnautica, and it only works with a couple of wall decorations as well. You know you’re able to so it, if you still get the prompt to deconstruct reinforcement wall/ window

I seem to have more freedom in multipurpose rooms, and other type of compartments won’t work with the glitch. I’ve only experimented with so much and too low energy to share all my notes

Here’s what I was working on in BZ. At least wall planters and posters work with the glitch, they do not in original

[waxen timber]

^

[waxen timber]

Good to know 👍

[robust stirrup]

smort

[waxen timber]

Didn't know image frames worked that way (image being visible on both sides)

[robust stirrup]

Yeah, that's interesting.

Are they reversed/flipped?

[woeful palm]

omg thank you

[waxen timber]

Seems like the image is visible from both sides (so from one side it's flipped).
Not sure if it's one texture or 2 textures with one being flipped(but then why add it if it's not supposed to be seen).

[desert olive]

I could never it looks so crowded how do you even get around and not fall into the water

[fallow haven]

So I've got a sort of ecological study base going on, it's positioned in the grassy plateaus area with a section hovering over an entrance to the jellyshrooms. It's pretty bland so I'm hoping some of ya'll could provide feedback and/or ideas? c:

[distant tartan]

Guys How Does This Base Looks Rate It Plz 1 To 10

[sinful stag]

10/10, More creativity then me, could never think of that

[keen oracle]

carefully lol

this was a creative base though so I didn't actually use it like I would in a proper playthrough, I just built it for fun to see how much stuff I could cram into a moonpool

[craggy thunder]

Like Alpaceus already said, it just happens to be visible from both sides

[craggy thunder]

I LOVE making ecological bases so I can abuse picture frames like so. I do something like this in both games and I also like having aquariums showcasing fishies from the biome the base is in.

Also a metric || || ton of plants

Also, this lad had a shared a cool looking lab recently to get inspired from #🏠awesome-bases message

[jolly stirrup]

Forgot to show this room

[woeful palm]

this layout is beautiful!!!

esp the symmetry in the last pic

[waxen timber]

For a second I thought there was a Cyclops there

[jolly stirrup]

I wanted to ask for your opinion to my base

[fallow haven]

Oh wow, this is actually brilliant, awesome job. It's definitely given me a couple ideas, but unfortunately I am using the legacy branch of subnautica so I can use mods with it, so large bases and such arn't an option to me, but I can manage.

[torn phoenix]

#🏠awesome-bases message I got some inspiration from this person for my base after they got inspiration from me

[craggy thunder]

Oooooh, that’s a good way to focus more on the logs! Really wish they add a way to upload our favorite entries onto frames in their next game

[torn phoenix]

Ye

Whole lab

Crew quarters are those pods at the bottom

[craggy thunder]

Ooooooh, I see you’re a fan of base flooding too <3

[jolly stirrup]

What did you put in the large rooms? They are so many

[torn phoenix]

Meeting rooms

Labs

Medbays

[jolly stirrup]

Thanks

[torn phoenix]

Hospital waiting room

[jolly stirrup]

I ran out of ideas with mine

[jolly stirrup]

Nice

[craggy thunder]

LMAO, hand sanitizer 😂

LOVE IT <3

[torn phoenix]

Ong

Hand sanitizer

I mean it burns your hand

technically clean and sanitized

[jolly stirrup]

Technically

[torn phoenix]

Yea

[jolly stirrup]

That is awesome designed

[torn phoenix]

Thank you!

[torn phoenix]

Oo

[pseudo rain]

the depth is 69 m

[jolly stirrup]

Looks cool but why do you have so many moonpools?

[pseudo rain]

multiplayer , 3 players and 3 prawn suit and 3 seamoths

[jolly stirrup]

Ah

[keen oracle]

didn't know you could put those frost vase things in plant shelves, notes taken

[craggy thunder]

Currently only have a video, but I tried to make arcades with the jukeboxes. Then I encountered a bug that I WISH that was an available light setting for the control room, except it dims the lighting

[craggy thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/writethatdown-gif-5313946

[void plover]

just tinkering with some gardening . kelp forest base and pod in creative.

looks nice from inside for sure. just love the glow of the vines

[distant tartan]

thanks a lot this reply helps a lot I really appreciate it and also tried making every room functional

[keen oracle]

at a distance the clusters of kelp almost look like underwater fungi or jellyfish

gives off a cool vibe

[patent shadow]

imo it would look better in the kelp forest biome and then adding growbeds for extra density in areas that need it and just better overall density

[void plover]

That's how I started. Then I started a new creative and just got lazy and it came out this way. Hehehe. Your right though kelp forest looks better.

I actually sunk that one deeper into the forest too. But I kept accidentally drowning as I got distracted working on it.

[balmy stirrup]

it started out as just a littol base and I think I've turned it into a full blown colony by mistake lol

[signal iris]

SHEEEEEEEESH

[wanton pumice]

thank you unknown worlds for teh update

[fervent shuttle]

shroombase is in progress

[barren fern]

what's the point of base flooding?

[craggy thunder]

It dims the lights in bases In Subnautica, and allows better use of your scanner room.

I normally leave my scanner room and a compartment flooded so the bright white walls aren’t burning holes in my retinas

[dawn briar]

main base in progress any suggestions

[astral slate]

In progress? That’s bigger than I would have ever thought abt

Although if u want suggestions I’d say try to make more glass roofs on the buildings

[dawn briar]

i want to put every obtainable item in my base

[astral slate]

Yo make it look better u know

[dawn briar]

yeah

[astral slate]

Oh I c lol

[dawn briar]

yeah its also got 4 nuclear reactors i plan on getting 8 to 12

[astral slate]

Ya all I’d rlly say is just add more glass roofs on the large and multipurpose rooms but other than that it looks rlly good

[dawn briar]

ok thx

[astral slate]

Just saying u probably don’t need that much lol but I can go for it if u want

[dawn briar]

well i plan on having a lot of things that constantly use power

[astral slate]

Where do u enter besides the moon pool?

[astral slate]

Oh Alr

[dawn briar]

ive got a hatch on a T junction

[astral slate]

Oh ok

[dawn briar]

ive also got 6 water filters

[astral slate]

I’m planning on making an “cyclops dock” later on tho

[dawn briar]

im gonna make one too i just need more stuff lol

[astral slate]

That’s a lot tbh did u farm all that lithium for reinforcements?

[dawn briar]

i just put the drill arm on the prawn suit

and found a few nodes

also the mushroom forrest

[astral slate]

True with a base that massive the there probably is almost nothing on ur map lol

[dawn briar]

yeah

[astral slate]

Oh I’ll try that then

[dawn briar]

yeah its craling with litium on the sea floor

[astral slate]

K

Alr I gtg bye

[dawn briar]

ok thank you for the suggestions

[keen oracle]

I'd say make it less flat

add some mp room towers

[dawn briar]

ok thx

[dawn briar]

base update

[patent shadow]

Cyclops dock

[dawn briar]

not yet im trying to get the mod to work

[patent shadow]

No like make a thing out of tubes to hold the cyclops

[dawn briar]

ah ok

[fallow haven]

(Mod Related) Finally got some good power for the ecological base.

[weary jasper]

how u make that

is it like a mod or sum

there's supposed to be a hatch there

[toxic axle]

New 2.0 update, go check it out :)

[pseudo rain]

Anyone got some cool cozy interior base designs

[jagged yew]

New update. They added the staircase so you can actually get inside land bases

[waxen timber]

and the glass dome (also visible)

[plush ridge]

can you guys maybe send some insparation photos of your best rooms

[ebon atlas]

Rate My Base

[ebon atlas]

I got you

And this room is below the bedroom

Nuclear power is behind my player

[pseudo rain]

0

Not symmetrical, has too many pipes, cyclops parked in a non organized way

If you haven't finished the game then 10/10

Bcs no one cares about bases until their done with the game

[astral slate]

nah i'd say 7/10

its pretty good just could do with more symmetry like the previous person said

and maybe more g5lass if u can fit it

[plush ridge]

Mhh not rly but thx

[dawn briar]

new base addition and cyclops dock mod

[night trout]

Too big lol

[dawn briar]

Well it's going to have everything obtainable in the game in bulk storage and display

Why does everyone complain about its size

I get hard to navigate but I fixed that with building in a square and sticking to a main hall

[fallow haven]

Alien containment I built in the sparse reef, also serving as a sort of mining outpost.

[dawn briar]

Cool

[idle crown]

anyone wanna vc

[dawn briar]

I would but my younger brother took over my pc

[idle crown]

ok

[dusty olive]

in 5 mins sure

[idle crown]

OK

[zenith finch]

i mean yeah, if people wanna complain base size they should just check the pins

[plush ridge]

wait you can do that

[weary jasper]

ohhh thats nice

[pseudo rain]

How you make the lighting like that

[zenith finch]

well I'd assume they built a base in jellyshroom caves, and the jellyshrooms in the ACU probably help

wait they said they built in sparse reef

but the jellyshrooms definitely play a part in it

[fallow haven]

I used a mod to disable the base lights and also used Fcs for neon strip lignts

[zenith finch]

o yeah i forgot mods existed

[dawn briar]

@plush ridge yes with mods

[plush ridge]

omg i tried it for 2 hours

[fallow haven]

Lol, I'll start putting mod disclaimers on mine to avoid confusion

[zenith finch]

good move lol

[pseudo rain]

Yeah you made me question everything I built bcs it looks ugly

Stuff I built looks ugly, not yours lol

Sorry I still can't English good

[zenith finch]

It is a little tricky to build nice looking things with the basic subnautica basepieces

[pseudo rain]

That's why u go symmetrical with tons of cyclops

[shell marsh]

Bases

[cerulean zodiac]

There are ways to make a base look nice

But you need to design the base from the ground up with looks in mind

[charred robin]

happy new year bozos

[pseudo rain]

Happy New Year

[slim gull]

@dawn briar what is the docking mod you use

[dawn briar]

its just called cyclops docking mod its on nexus and is the first mod that pops up when you search cyclops

[slim gull]

Cheers

[dawn briar]

its also the only docking mod for the cyclops still on nexus i believe

i could be wrong but its the only one ive seen

[ebon atlas]

My new base setup

[silent horizon]

this large room 💀

[patent shadow]

what about it

[ornate escarp]

Large Rooms are pogchamp!

[ebon atlas]

Fr

[keen oracle]

I love large rooms, but I find them a lot more difficult to fill than a bunch of multipurpose rooms

they almost have too much space lol

[cedar gorge]

very true

[plush ridge]

Yea

[silent horizon]

How many solar panels are there?

[steady stone]

Does anyone have any recommendations for base locations in below zero

[keen oracle]

Tree Spires, Lilypad Islands, Deep Lilypads, and Twisty Bridges are some of my personal favourites

Deep Twisty Bridges looks cool but I wouldn't recommend building there unless you're fine with Squidsharks putting holes in your base every other minute 😂

[heady jacinth]

I like the Purple Vents. There's a location at the shallowest point with a nice build pad, though it's right on the edge of too close to the Chelicerate.

I'll throw up a picture in a bit, maybe

[steady stone]

Pls do

[heady jacinth]

Here it is. V shallow, easy access to Delta Island, Twisty Bridges, and the Lilypads. Solar isn't great unless you build a bunch, and the vents are okay-ish for thermal help at night. I usually place thermal plants in the lava geysers near Delta Station Dock and run power transmitters. Now, don't go any further east-southeast! The Chelicerate is just out of sight in the mist.

Here, I'm hovering over the flat spot. Note the bearing and distance to the landmark.

[steady stone]

Is it southeast from the life pod

?

And what’s a chelicerae

Fyi I’m new to this game

[heady jacinth]

I would suggest, at least for a new, to let the game lead you. Gameplay will guide you to Delta, and then you should go from there. If you aren't experienced and go off the general starting sequence the game wants you to do, you are gonna get eaten a lot.

[steady stone]

I’m not that new

I saw the lady in the prawn suit jump of a cliff cutscene

[heady jacinth]

Chelicerate is a Leviathan class creature, the BZ equivalent of the reaper.

[steady stone]

I played the odd subnatica a lot so I just need to learn the game

I’ve seen a chelicerae before

[heady jacinth]

Sorry I had housework. Yeah, it's approximately 600m due SE of the life pod

[steady stone]

@heady jacinth what direction is it from the life pod

[heady jacinth]

See above

[steady stone]

Thx

[topaz mica]

wdyt of my base ?

i've build it at the entrance of the sacred tree so that I can still park the seamoth I use in the lost river (renamed it deepmoth to better differenciate it)

[dusk sorrel]

Scanner base

[waxen timber]

(Asking about opinion because I'm not sure) what is best option for a sort of viewing tower above the water?
Obervatories, fully glassed multipurpose room or a a small loop of glass compartments?

(or maybe something slightly different)

[topaz mica]

i'm almost done with the game, so before I go : what do you think of my main base ?

[pseudo rain]

Small

That would be perfect for a doghouse tho

Or a cuddle fish house

[topaz mica]

I mean
i'm a one man crew, so what would be the point in making a gigantic base ?

[pseudo rain]

No no listen

The game is about conquering the land

Spread your territory

Assert dominance over all fish

[tawdry river]

im late but then you also get to install windows and see all the cool fishies

[hexed herald]

Where is this place?

On the map ?

[heady jacinth]

It's in Below Zero

[hexed herald]

Oh ok...

[hexed herald]

The new Nuke Bomb ! Don't try at your home !

[fallow haven]

Also, this map is innaccurate to an extent

[thin socket]

It is like 60% wrong

[topaz mica]

nah

[storm lion]

its from a really early stage of the game

like 2013-14?

not really sure

[steel wraith]

i actually really like that base

i like the creepvine usage

[keen oracle]

ooh, I like this

quite a unique design with the central area overlooking an outdoor garden

[thorn talon]

The full base here. The oculus are there for the energy of course.

[keen oracle]

I love that garden

man I need to get back into this game again

[thorn talon]

Ahah. :þ It tooks a while to grab one of each seed. More than the actual farming I would say, I went in the ||ILZ|| for the quartz.

[keen oracle]

I have 2 bases where I have at least 1 of every plantable flora in the game, except Tiger Plants lol

so yeah I definitely know the pain of having to get every seed hehe

[thorn talon]

I wanted to have the tiger plant, like in a separated area on its own, but even there I'm sure it will hit the base.

[keen oracle]

I made the mistake of putting one in an alien containment once...no further explanation required 😂

[thorn talon]

Although, they are now passive in containment. I should place one there.

Since the last update.

[keen oracle]

oh really? I didn't know that

that's handy

did the 2.0 update increase performance in any way?

[thorn talon]

Yes.

The pop-up is the same though. The clipmapping settings weren't changed since pretty much the release I think.

[keen oracle]

the main reason I haven't played in a few months is because my lag got so bad it was just unplayable, I mean it's not like I didn't expect it having my Reaper cage lol but it really was getting to be a pain so eventually I just stopped

not sure how much the new update would help, probably not much at this rate

[thorn talon]

Bases are always loaded, so indeed if you want to make a lot of them you need a very good computer.

[keen oracle]

I also am just in need of a new computer

a lot of my games lag now, was playing Raft for the first time with friends yesterday and even at all the lowest settings my fps was pretty bad most of the time

[keen oracle]

it'd be nice if there was a mod that stopped rendering bases outside of a certain range, not sure if that would be possible though

[thorn talon]

The reason they are always loaded, is because the energy needs to be added, creatures need to breed, etc.

Even if you aren't there.

[keen oracle]

makes sense I guess

I have a performance mod, it seemed to work at first but it doesn't appear to be doing much now lol

I feel like it really is just my computer at this point because I loaded up an entirely new creative save and it lagged just as badly as my hardcore which has 4 bases, most of them large

last one isn't quite finished, I would like to complete it at some point

then I plan to start a new hardcore save

[thorn talon]

Right I almost forgot about your insane enclosure.

:þ

They look pretty good.

[silent horizon]

my new base

[silent horizon]

There is also a small collection of animals

[sleek vapor]

why isnt this connecting? are the solar pannels on the room messing it up or something?

[sleek vapor]

anyone?

clear image

alright i fixed this but now my transmitters are barely taking any power from my thermal plants

[long lion]

how do i use vertical connectors lol

[pallid gyro]

they only attach to hallway pieces. you can use them to add floors to your base.

[waxen timber]

I think they also work with rooms

[pallid gyro]

nope. it would be cool if they did though

[topaz mica]

my below zero base. Thoughts ?

[unborn light]

Overall layout looks good

Garden seems a little small to me but there’s not much for decorative gardening in BZ so….

[unborn light]

My new ||ancient leviathan skull|| base in the LR

[pseudo rain]

my second ever base, decided to move out of the safe shallows what do yall think

[soft bane]

Outpost Quantum, an Alterra Research Facility devoted to uncovering the secrets behind the Precursor's advanced technological discoveries.
(Including the facilities' beloved alien ‘mascot’, for lack of a better term; Alaniea the Titan Holefish)

[golden mesa]

That looks sick

[long lion]

im at the pilots last known position, where should i go from here

oh shoot wrong channel lol

[silent horizon]

my new observatory

Made especially for this strange reason

[heady jacinth]

What the heck is he doing down there?

[unborn light]

Research

[silent horizon]

Idk bro

he liked the lava lizards taste

[grave topaz]

Gotta love the bugs.

[pliant shadow]

I play on PS5, is it possible to make small clips to showcase my bases?

[keen oracle]

ok, I've seen Ghosts in strange places before but I think this tops xD

how on earth

I didn't even think it was possible for their AI to pathfind down there

[waxen timber]

How far from the enterence is this place?

[silent horizon]

that red dot

[waxen timber]

quite a lot of distance

how are they doing with the other leviathans?

[silent horizon]

They don't pay attention to each other

[real trout]

I saw you typing

[heady jacinth]

My Lava Zone waystation. It's directly across from the entrance to the Lava Castle, tucked under an overhang for cover from the Sea Dragon. It's bare bones, just if I manage to horribly screw up I can retreat there. Of course, then I'd probably be stuck; not sure if it's in Seaglide range of either the Primary Containment Facility or my base at the Cove Tree.

[real trout]

Base is good. But stay away from that warper

[red fable]

It's definitely within seaglide range of the cove tree

And pcf

[slender obsidian]

there's no way to preserve vegetation, is there?

[worthy tusk]

I think bz has a fridge, but nothing in subnautica iirc

[slender obsidian]

that was wrong chat to begin with dang it

[cerulean zodiac]

Nice base

Spacious

[exotic rampart]

Amazing base

[lament niche]

how is the leviathan down in there?

thats not normal

[real trout]

I got a little base going

[vernal niche]

made a little land/sea base by the glacier

[heady jacinth]

IT FITS!

[jagged yew]

Such an impressive feat of architecture. It has everything you’ll ever need! All in one small package.

• Fabricator
• Storage
• Window for fish watching
• Beautiful Location
• Cold metal floor for sleeping

[real trout]

Ik thank you it took me forever to build

[heady jacinth]

Gotta have a treehouse! When I built this, I didn't know how close it was to an arch entrance lol

[vital cypress]

the glass dome certainly adds some spice to my bedroom

[quartz nacelle]

love the location, the view is gorgeous

[vital cypress]

maybe i can figure out how to take a video tour of Sushi City (name of my base), as it grows into my initial dream of touching every biome cuz i’m ambitious

[pseudo rain]

I need massive storage room ideas, I'm doing a very bad job of making one

[pseudo rain]

@real trout

But does it have a fabricator?

[main wigeon]

how did you get the staircase :o

[heady jacinth]

Finished main construction; still have some interior work to do. Not pictured: solar generating platform on a rock spire off to the side.

[silent horizon]

It's a great idea

From here you can reach everywhere through portals

[heady jacinth]

Thanks! I wanted to site the base on top of the opening, but it's not buildable. It's a fun spot, but you do have to be really careful bringing the Cyclops through the opening.

The base I want to build, though, but can't, is using the "donut hole" of the Floating Island as a natural moonpool. It's just slightly too short to surface the Cyclops in.

[vernal niche]

if you build a hatch on anything on land, a staircase will spawn with it!

[main wigeon]

I tried that but I think it was too high up :')

[vernal niche]

aw damn

[golden mesa]

My Below Zero Base

It connects to the surface of Robotic Station Phi

[real trout]

Here’s an update on the base

[ornate escarp]

I love how reflective the bases are in BZ.

[golden mesa]

Fr fr

[robust pebble]

looks good

[vital cypress]

i’d use the large room and line it with large lockers. for me i use the signs and put them on the wall above lockers to mark what’s in them. dunno if you can put signs on partition walls but that’d be an option to get more efficiency from the space

[pseudo rain]

Hmm thanks, I was thinking that but I'm trying to make it look neat and easily accessible

Because I have at least 3 lockers of each resource and I got even more from this large trip

I decked out my cyclops with like fifty lockers and went to the lr and lava zone with double drill prawn suit

So now I need a lot of more space

Wait I might just make a separate base for storage

What do you think

[real trout]

Why did you ping me a couple days ago

[pseudo rain]

Idk I forgot the question

Most likely a comment about an atom being bigger than your Subnautica base

But it's okay, I'm a changed kinder man now

[soft bane]

Not sure if this clarifies(?) as "awesome"

https://youtu.be/XKlYWIU0ykU

[cerulean zodiac]

I'd say it looks awesome

[upper kettle]

isnt this the same guy who covered the entire world in platforms

[pseudo rain]

That's not cool, it's not survival

[ionic crater]

🤫

[soft bane]

Yes

[sturdy steeple]

My subnautica hardcore base (48 hour save)
i'll try to get some other screenshots of different parts of the base since its split up into many sections.

Main attraction of the base is this reaper cage i built

this building here functions as a sort of cafe/greenhouse

[soft bane]

How you gonna get a Reaper in that? /j

[sturdy steeple]

lol

He has actually escaped once but i managed to recontain him

[soft bane]

lol

[sturdy steeple]

My room

mega fish tank (red eyeyes found in time capsule)

tanks for breeding individual species of fish that i wanna introduce into the bulb zone

guest rooms (there are 3 and they are all nearly indentical only difference is the plants)

[soft bane]

That should be an achievement or something;

Achievement Name:
"He Doesn't Bite."
How to get:
"Trap a Reaper Leviathan in a cage."

[sturdy steeple]

That would be funny lol

It would be hard to actually define what counts as trapped though

this is my current project on the base. Im gonna fill those foundations with growbeds and create an artificial reef to more safely raise prey fish/herbivores

rn they go in the same area as the crabsnakes do and it leads to alot of them getting eaten

[soft bane]

Hardcore Edition;
Achievement Name:
"HOLY SMOKES!"
How to get:
"Trap a Reaper Leviathan in a cage on Hardcore mode."

[sturdy steeple]

I would actually like to see achievements for atleast beating the game on hardcore lol

rn playing hardcore is sorta just something you can brag about lol

[soft bane]

yeah

[sturdy steeple]

which is fine but an achievement for beating the game on it would be cool

[soft bane]

Agreed

Wonder if there's any devs silently taking notes on this

[sturdy steeple]

we can only hope lol

[soft bane]

Achievements wouldn't really matter to me (I play on Switch) but it would be nice to know that it exists

[sturdy steeple]

yeah

currently most of them are stuff you automatically do playing the game

not actual achievements

and that makes the game very very easy to 100%/platinum depending on what you play it on

[soft bane]

I wanna see some ones that you have to go out of your way to get

[sturdy steeple]

yeah

stuff like consuming every single fish in the game could be cool

or every plant

or maybe just everything consumable lol

[soft bane]

or only eating fish

or only eating plants

[sturdy steeple]

mhmm

[wheat fractal]

That looks awesome, Praetorian!

[soft bane]

Really does

[sturdy steeple]

thanks

wall partition + plant shelfs is a really good combo

[soft bane]

I still haven't finished Outpost Quantum

Absolutely massive base

[sturdy steeple]

cool

you doing it on creative or?

[soft bane]

OQ would be even cooler if I had access to whatever mods Below Zero has

[sturdy steeple]

yeah ive seen alot of good building mods for both games

[soft bane]

I def would use mods if I could

[sturdy steeple]

mhmm

i don't play with mods because i prefer the vanilla subnautica experience but the few times i have played with them i did really enjoy

more progress on growbeds if anyone has suggestions for stuff to plant let me know

[soft bane]

1 species of plant per 2 growbeds

Maybe 3

[sturdy steeple]

that could work

[soft bane]

4 if absolutely needed

Might be risky for some depending on where you get them

[sturdy steeple]

mhmm

ive got quite a few of them but there are some i still dont have

i think ive got everything from the bulb zone and everything native to the bulb zone trench (which i like to call owl trench because of the hooting sound you can hear near and within it)

[soft bane]

I'll keep this in mind

Large rooms are pretty difficult to decorate and such imo

[sturdy steeple]

yeah

i like to split large rooms into smaller rooms and treat each room like its own

its also good to have a purpose in mind for the room

[soft bane]

Which I usually do

But, eventually, I run out of room ideas

So I just sorta wing-it (or 'fin it' in this case)

[sturdy steeple]

lol

you could try going for a theme

like some kind of research site or a hotel

[soft bane]

Research Facility

Mentioned in my first post about OQ

[sturdy steeple]

i'll look it up

[soft bane]

I'm treating it as if it were canon to the Subnautica lore

[sturdy steeple]

nice lol

[soft bane]

A sort of 'alternate timeline' to Below Zero's end (which I won't spoil to be safe)

[sturdy steeple]

sounds interesting!

[soft bane]

I'll focus on the story after I've finished

I do have a basic idea in mind tho

[quartz nacelle]

This is amazing. Very well made.

[sturdy steeple]

thank you!

[sturdy steeple]

My old subnautica base that I've lost the save for unfortunately. Yes those towers breach the surface of the water. I have a few interior images and I'll upload them when I find em

Found them

These were made using a bug involving bulk head doors (now patched) that would allow you to use the propulsion cannon inside of your base. Unfortunately they fixed it so I can't decorate like this anymore

[sturdy steeple]

back to my current base

waiting room

crabsnake breeding tank

its how i get my snek army

almost finished the artificial reef

[sturdy steeple]

completed the reef

currently introducing species

my hope is by the time im done spinefish, reginalds, and red eyeyes will become common fish in the bulb zone possibly over taking the original population in numbers

im hoping the dense kelp will provide shelter for fish to hide in whenever one of my many guard crabsnakes get curious

im also working on gently introducing oculi (is that the right way to say that?) into the bulb zone to aid crabsnakes in adjusting

3 new snakes

gasopods are also planned but will be placed further away in possibly another custom reef. The reason for this is because i want to recreate parts of the original concept for the bulb zone. Gasopods where orignally planned for the bulb zone and so i want to make that a thing artificially.

just as some proof to show my effort to introduce species is working. Here are some crabsnakes 330m from my base that travelled here without my input.

hopefully after a while i'll have a completely different bulb zone full of all new fauna

there is also some practicality to this. Ive noticed bonesharks and ampeels have completely abandoned areas overran by crabsnakes

[cerulean zodiac]

I've always liked messing around with planters and creature eggs, but I've never considered straight up changing a whole biome with them

[sturdy steeple]

reef update

[sturdy steeple]

its a fun thing to do lol i strongly recommend giving it a shot terraforming is fun! (rip terraformer)

[cerulean zodiac]

The closest thing I've done to this is placing a bunch of tiger plants around my bases to ward off Bonesharks

I'll have to give this a try

[sturdy steeple]

good luck! I recommend separating tanks by creature. make sure not to give them too much prey fish around your base aswell or they might decide to hang around forever and never move out

thermal vent network part 1

part 2

final part

the crabsnakes have forced the bonesharks into the lost river lol

red eyeyes have thrived around my base while spinefish and reginalds have almost entirely moved out

interesting

they also have an obsession with chasing and staring at crabsnakes

i think they forgot to remove some of that placeholder boneshark AI

reef has become popular among the reginalds and spinefish but the red eyeyes prefer open water

[keen oracle]

nice, this reminds me of the 500 m high multipurpose room tower with a base on top in a save that I also lost (got deleted when I uninstalled and re-installed Steam and for some reason I didn't think to make backups at the time)

[sturdy steeple]

wish subnautica got cloud saves earlier

damn thats pretty cool

[keen oracle]

oh do they have that now?

[sturdy steeple]

yeah

[keen oracle]

thank goodness

I mean I'll still make backups but good to know

[sturdy steeple]

problem i find with multipurpose room towers is that 90% of the rooms end up empty or they all have a large aquarium

[keen oracle]

yeah lol

they also cause a lot more lag than something like vertical connectors if you have that many of them

[sturdy steeple]

yeah

[keen oracle]

I have a 1 km high tower of connectors from the surface in a current save, haven't done much with it yet but surprisingly it didn't lag that much (at least when my laptop handled the game better lol)

[sturdy steeple]

i tried a large room tower recently and its literally 3 times more expensive than the multipurpose rooms for the same height as one

subnautica is not very optimized for giga bases lol

[keen oracle]

I have bases with 30+ multipurpose rooms that I've managed to all find uses for, but large rooms are my arch nemesis

I love how spacious they are but at the same time I find it difficult to even fill a couple of them fully

[sturdy steeple]

i have the opposite problem lol

i easily fill large rooms with cool stuff but struggle with multipurpose rooms

[keen oracle]

we should move to #subnautica-chat

[sturdy steeple]

yeah

[pseudo rain]

where did you build this base?

[sturdy steeple]

On a cliff at the bulb zone trench (lost river entrance)

[pseudo rain]

sure

how did you get rid of those electrical things tho?

[sturdy steeple]

Crabsnakes

Lots

[pseudo rain]

oh

[sturdy steeple]

They attack them and have driven them away from my base

[pseudo rain]

and dont crabsnakes attack you too?

[sturdy steeple]

If raised in containment they won't attack you

[pseudo rain]

how do you get them out?

of the containment

[sturdy steeple]

By picking them up and dropping them outside

[pseudo rain]

oh

didnt know thats possible

ty

learned smthing new today

[sturdy steeple]

Yeah

Be warned though alot of predators will still attack your vehicles

Notably crab squids, ampeels, and bonesharks

[pseudo rain]

sure

is it like somewhere around here?

[sturdy steeple]

Should be a cliff nearby

[pseudo rain]

yep

depth 274m

[sturdy steeple]

Nice

That's probably it

[pseudo rain]

sure

thanks

[pseudo rain]

Still a bit left to build, but it's getting there:

[grim flint]

👍 i like how the large rooms look so natural combined with the large platform

[upper kettle]

idk why it looks like a mini-hotel

[pseudo rain]

I actually got that idea from someone else's image. Put windows along the long walls and it looks really neat.

[sturdy steeple]

Office room work in progress

Gonna improve the reef by changing the surrounding corridors into glass

[sturdy steeple]

done

hatch problem fixed

I think the bulb zone base is officially complete

[hexed cloak]

Uhm

[sturdy steeple]

I'll probably set up in the mountains next

[hexed cloak]

Where's the 5 cyclops?

[sturdy steeple]

ive got an existing power network there

i don't have i have 2

i never mentioned having 5

[hexed cloak]

Wait what?

[sturdy steeple]

i just said nothing is stopping anyone having one

lol

[hexed cloak]

Go to subnautica chat

[sturdy steeple]

my two cylclops

not a base but this is my storage setup on my resource cyclops (the dark blue one)

ive changed my mind on the new base im just gonna expand the power network

[sturdy steeple]

8 new thermal plants

now ive got 20

uh oh

i lost 1000 points of power

so i guess i gotta go back and check my thermal reactors

i might need to weld them or something because last time i checked (before 2.0) creatures could damage thermal reactors

[sturdy steeple]

this is gonna take a while but the thermal reactor corridor is currently being worked on

it will also function as a mountains biome FOB

ive changed my mind on making it a whole connected corridor. Its going to be a bunch of bases sharing the same power supply spread across the mountains. Once these are set up my expansion into the blood kelp 2, kelp forest, and under isles will be rapidly accelerated

my end goal if i can survive it will be colonizing the entirety of the crater with bases

by the end i shouldnt be able to go 200m without encountering a base of mine

[potent spade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM0cplct92U

Now THIS is giving me a lot of good ideas for a base

[drifting lava]

Now this is what you call egg collecting

[pseudo rain]

where do you store your seamoth and prawn in your base? I dont see any moonpool

[sturdy steeple]

scroll up its in one of the images

i dont own a prawn because i don't like the prawn

i just have a seamoth

[pseudo rain]

oh ok sure

i see it now

[lime lake]

my summer house ( purely for vanity not functional or convenient )

[worthy tusk]

nice

[keen oracle]

what do you have in all the large rooms?

[sturdy steeple]

Fish tanks, one room dedicated to bio reactors and one with water filters. The bottom floor is where my room is with bedding and such

[keen oracle]

ah

I want to make a tower of large rooms sometime just dedicated to aquariums

[pseudo rain]

cute little snek factory

[pseudo rain]

i personally prefer to use nuclear reactors as they produce more energy with less effort

[lime lake]

They're so much more efficient but I'll always be a b reactor person as I like the composter mechanic in games and they look cool

[pseudo rain]

ye get it

[silent horizon]

it may not look the best but it's literally everything here

entire upper floor is dedicated to egg collection

[pseudo rain]

Ate man I'm making a massive one but can't find any gaspods eggs, any tips?

I've built a scanner room in each biome max range but still

[sturdy steeple]

you cannot scan for them

they are found in the safe shallows and crash zone mesa

[lime lake]

Found mine in the shallows and in caves

[pseudo rain]

Alright should I build a scanner at my life pod?

Now that I think Abt it, I never built on there

[pseudo rain]

Guys I have pictures of base interiors, dm me if you got cool stuff I can add to the collection

These aren't mine btw

first one isn't a spoiler ignore that

[potent spade]

Guys, there's actually ore outcrops in the Void

[sturdy steeple]

bz or subnautica?

[potent spade]

Subnautica

[sturdy steeple]

screenshot?

[potent spade]

Ok, so i guess I'm still technically in the Dunes

So false alarm

[lime lake]

How do you like take away all the information on your screen

Like 02 and food meter

For talking screen shots

[sturdy steeple]

f8 i think

one of the function keys

[lime lake]

Oh thanks bro

WB xbox

[sturdy steeple]

not sure

i think there is a screenshot button that automatically hides the hud for a frame but not sure

[potent spade]

My iteration of the Void Base is complete: The Leviathan Research Center (The Dunes crater edge)

[drifting lava]

Its tough to place where your base is located but mine is here. Its a really nice spot because theres a lot of resources around.

Theres a lot of stalkers though, but its not too annoying if you dont want to use your camera drones

[sturdy steeple]

just copied your image so your circle is still there but here is where my bases are

[drifting lava]

Cool!

The original image is there if tou iust look up “subnautica map”

[sturdy steeple]

k

[drifting lava]

Is your one base right underneath the aurora wreck?

[sturdy steeple]

there is a small island on that side of the aurora. I built a base on it

its a risky trip but i'll head over there to get a pic. I rarely visit the base so it'll be a good time to check on the solar panels as well

This is the base. It isnt pretty inside or on the outside but it is functional and functions an important hub for my exploration of the crash zone

gonna get rid of this reaper. After he is gone the area around the base will be like 99% reaper free allowing me to get closer to the crash zone mesas and explore

the terrain under the aurora according to a scanner room on the aurora island is interesting

from the looks of it there might have actually been a relatively deep biome where the aurora crashed that was only slightly flattened when it crashed

[waxen timber]

Ye, I put one in the Jellyshroom cave because of it. Might do something more with that later(like another part of the base).

Also might in some way try marking way to the ||mountains island|| that is prawn accessible (there is one but navigating in prawn can be annoying). Maybe finally some use for that cave navigating tools.

[thin summit]

my base (based off of ||degasi base 250m|| but with a lot of add ons)

[astral slate]

That’s rlly good but is it in two different pieces?

[thin summit]

no it's connected with vertical connectors

[astral slate]

Oh Alr

I c it now

[thin summit]

and tysm

[keen oracle]

thanks

[lime lake]

Inspires me to play more ig

[pine harness]

There's not much unique interior sadly :( just something useless to fill my base

You see the 3 large rooms under the cyclops all the way in the back?

I need to fill them

I filled 2 of them but I still got tons of space left for one

[sturdy steeple]

my entire hardcore base rn

[dusk flare]

cyclops have docking capability, or you just park them close to hatch?

[soft bane]

Cyclops Dock is a mod, not sure if they have it

I just park it close to a hatch

[keen oracle]

me who has a driveway for mine:

[weak mason]

Incredible

[steel nebula]

I just make a hole in the foundations and place corridors to largely invelop the cyclops.

[pine harness]

You got any cool shots of ur interior? I need some good designs

[sturdy steeple]

alright hang on

i gotta get home to my base

[pine harness]

Don't u have school rn

[sturdy steeple]

no? why

i love how normal the fern palm looks lol

[pine harness]

I didn't even know that fern, grub basket, and bulbo existed

I learned about fern on day 280

💀

[pine harness]

Any tips on getting quartz and titanium?

My location is out of both in a 500 meter range

[sturdy steeple]

go to the crash zone and avoid the aurora nose and boosters

you can safely get salvage and quartz from the safe shallows part of the crash zone

[pine harness]

I'll find tons there hopefully

I went through 8 lockers of titanium on decoration

And now I have more decoration ideas

Tysm for the room designs those look amazing bro

[sturdy steeple]

tanks

thanks*

lol

[sturdy steeple]

finally upgraded the nuke room

don't know what to do with the down stairs yet though

[waxen timber]

From what I read power draining priority is based of which power source is oldest(oldest gets it's power used first and newest gets it's power used last).
But does it keep that priority if one power source temporarily appears to be disconnected (not loaded yet)?

Or just does it matter if it was connected?
(For example build one panel far from base and then one near it, so would the one far from it have priority because of being built first)

[weary jasper]

add some of those copper wire things forgit whats it called

picture frames

[sturdy steeple]

[tacit sphinx]

U didnt know about bulbo?? These are so good for nutrition

Ive been living off bulbo trees in my cyclops for a while now

@sturdy steeple it's a sad day man

I ran out of titanium

I feel lost

I was basically playing creative with all these resources but now I'm out

[sturdy steeple]

time to spend like 30 minutes grinding lol

[pine harness]

I'll do a cyclops trip and get all the copper quartz and titanium

I could go to the lr but it's too much of a hassle

[sturdy steeple]

office

[pine harness]

I respect your non symmetrical base

[keen oracle]

for a second there I thought you meant you depleted all the titanium on the map and I was gonna say ain't no way

[pine harness]

I'm trying to

Cleared the list river

Completly, not a single resource left in there

[robust stirrup]

Ah yes, another ming plant fan.

[thorny river]

You can find titanium in abundance in the crag fields, around the Aurora, dunes, and there's actually quite a few small pieces in the ilz that I don't think most people have found

Just take all the resources necessary to build a scanner room with a bioreactor

And don't skip on the metal salvage

[pine harness]

Yeah I made 13 scanner room bases

I haven't gone for tho bcs I can't bring back much titanium, so I have to bring cyclops

[thorny river]

Oh yeah

Pack your cyclops with wall lockers

Everywhere

Everywhere

[pseudo rain]

mainly lower deck

u can fill that wall

and then u can put some big lockers in front of torpedo bay

[thorny river]

Some other locations to mash lockers into

[pine harness]

Yeah my first long trip, I filled the entire bottom section but still ran out

So like that amount of lockers is kinda nessecary

[storm lion]

from one hoarder to another: thank you.

[pine harness]

I don't wanna put lockers everywhere, gotta decorate my cyclosp

Also fires in cyclops destroy items in cyclops which includes lockers which also could potentially destroy hundreds of resources

[craggy thunder]

Very interesting concepts 👀 makes me want to stop being so petty about losing the ability to place anything on the wall planters, and get into base building again

[sturdy steeple]

thanks

[pseudo rain]

@sturdy steeple would you mind sending a full pic of your bulb zone base from the outside? I am just curious how the layout looks like

[sturdy steeple]

Can't rn but I'll try tomorrow

[pseudo rain]

sure ty

[thorny river]

Make a second one

[pine harness]

I have 3

I'll make a storage cycloos

[keen oracle]

interesting, didn't know you could put them under the ceiling in the last image

then there's me who put them inside the docking bay in my one save xD

why you're actually able to build in there is beyond me, looks super weird when the doors open but it doesn't get in the way of vehicles docking/exiting and you can have a bunch more storage

[heady jacinth]

I hate having lockers that float away from the wall/hull. I only attach them to the bulkheads that are actually vertical and flat... but I don't care about carrying that much with me.

[upper kettle]

normal cyclops

[storm lion]

just dont have fires in your cyclops

[pine harness]

@sturdy steeple just got 8 lockers of titanium from the nose of the aurora

Good stuff

[worthy tusk]

wall or standing lockers?

[pine harness]

Idk the biggest ones

The one that can't go on walls

Standing if that's what they're callrd

[worthy tusk]

standing yea

sheesh

[pine harness]

Dude I'm not even kidding, filled my storage cyclops to the the brim with only titanium

All from the aurora area

[worthy tusk]

lotsa metal salvage in the area

[barren fern]

Anyone else feel like the large room, more than anything else in the game, creates the feeling of loneliness as you realize you never actually need such a large room for yourself? 😄

[pine harness]

No it doesnt

But when you make 3 cyclops and several bedrooms, that's when you start to realize

When you start making a hotel that's when it hits you

When you make an airport for your now 5 cyclops, you realize your gonna die alone

Fun times

[soft bane]

Only if Subnautica was multiplayer

[pseudo rain]

||a sea emperor just decided to come for a visit||

what do ya'll think of my canteen i built ?

[ionic crater]

I'd spoiler that

[pseudo rain]

oh sorry

[past brook]

Neat!!

[dusk flare]

Totally did not build a cantina and crew quarters while my personal room fits ins single multipurpose box.

Below Zero base opinion?
Features moonpool/truck dock + parking spot near exit hatch.
Base divided into three sections:

1. Docks (high flooding risk area). All connections to rest of the base equipped with bulkheads to prevent catastrophic flooding.
2. Main building (large room floor 0 and 1) - contains storage on bottom floor, equipment room in the central tower, a small biolab in same tower, cantina/crew quarters/bathroom in large room middle floor.
   2a/2b. Reactor/captain quarters. Both separated with bulkheads from the rest, in case of catastrophic flooding the captain room serves as a lifepod. Its the second tower in the background, with solar batteries.
3. Gardens. Top floor large room hosting plants (planned glass roof once unlocked). Also contains scanner and command rooms. Top floor is separated from rest of the complex by bulkheads (high flooding risk) - no ladders between floors allowed.

View from the other side.
Yes, moonpool has windows, as do the scanner and command rooms.
Captains quarters also have a window, despite safety recommendations and being a 'lifepod'. Sometimes sanity needs supersede dtructural soundness.
Oh, a thing to note - multipurpose room stacks are offset by one I-corridor to prevent them connecting, so I can have a full bulkhead separation for the reactor and captain quarters.

Will be improved, as I refine my needs and discover building workarounds.

I knew I was forgetting something!

[sturdy steeple]

managed to get my whole base in one screenshot

loads of progress on the southern half of the facility

[sturdy steeple]

floodlight i installed makes the reaper cage look 10x more awesome

[fierce spade]

bro is built so different on god

[sturdy steeple]

boring compact living rooms for my nonexistent employees wip

its the same upstairs

this room's plants are fully grown now tho

[main wigeon]

the little pots on the wall like that are such a cute idea

[heady jacinth]

Looks nice!

I like to have two-level alien containment, with windows around the upper level and pots and wall planters around the lower, to give the fish a dark, grassy "cave" to hide in.

[sturdy steeple]

nice

[stable hare]

May I ask how long it took to catch that?

[sturdy steeple]

honestly not that long

its only escaped once

and it took around 20 minutes to recontain

[keen oracle]

Why such a small cage, poor dude's barely got room to move around : (

[sturdy steeple]

very resource expensive im on hardcore and ive got better uses for all that titanium lol

[keen oracle]

what a coincidence, I'm also in hardcore 😛

[sturdy steeple]

cool

[keen oracle]

is yours in the Dunes tho 👀

[sturdy steeple]

no its in the bulb zone mountains corridor

[keen oracle]

ah

mine is Dunes cause why not xD

[sturdy steeple]

i don't see a reaper in yours

is there a reason for that?

[keen oracle]

haven't put one in yet

I'd make it even bigger but titanium is getting hard to find and it's already lagging a ton

[sturdy steeple]

yeah

thats the problem with mega structures lol

the lag is hell

[keen oracle]

I mean, I could easily make a bigger one if I didn't have all of this in my hardcore also LOL

[sturdy steeple]

cool

u on console or?

[keen oracle]

heck no 😂

[sturdy steeple]

nice

honestly a ps4 would probably be fried by then

must be easy to make a reaper cage in the dunes because of all the metal salvage

didn't think too much about resources when i got mine started

it actually used to be bigger but i shrunk it a little for base integrity because i linked it to my main base

for a while it was a seperate structure

[keen oracle]

I haven't actually played on that save, or much of the game at all for quite some time because the lag is so bad it just isn't as fun, I plan to get back at it again and finish it off when I get a better computer cause my current laptop isn't the greatest device in the world for doing stuff like this

[sturdy steeple]

lol

i also use a laptop for my save

when did you start playing?
