[keen oracle]

I don't remember actually, probably 2020 or so? maybe 2019?

[sturdy steeple]

cool

[keen oracle]

it was well after the full release so I'm not an early access person or anything

[sturdy steeple]

ive been playing since 2015

yeah

[keen oracle]

we should move to #subnautica-chat

[sturdy steeple]

k

[dusk flare]

is that all tubes?
and why?

[keen oracle]

except for a few multipurpose rooms forming a tower at the back, yes
why? literally just to flex xD

what cooler thing to have in hardcore than a giant Reaper containment in the Dunes

[lucid field]

Is there a reaper inside?

[pallid gyro]

probably

[keen oracle]

not yet

[scenic jewel]

How will you get it in

[keen oracle]

decoys probably

and use of a stasis rifle

[pseudo rain]

Smart

I would have just grabbed a ton of med kits and turned on auto pause

[raven eagle]

How the

[keen oracle]

😂

[gray ember]

Impossible

[winged zinc]

ignore that i misspelled degasi pls

[pine harness]

That's a cute base

@sturdy steeple what did u trap in there, that looks sick

[gray ember]

Nice base

[proven valve]

Now do the other

[winged zinc]

i will

cuz i need to be consistent with yt uploads

[keen oracle]

but I don't see the name Degasi anywhere in that image...

[winged zinc]

file name

[keen oracle]

oh

[weak mason]

I went through a phase where all I built were these huge bases with multipurpose rooms and Alien Containments. I had no clue what Subnautica was about at the time, I just loved the fact you could catch and keep wild fish.

[pine harness]

Whaat

You went only creative? Damn

[ornate escarp]

Kinda cursed knowing that their habitats are centered on the foundations.

[upper kettle]

their habitat builder wasnt locked to an imaginary grid!

[scenic jewel]

Yummy

[lime lake]

What do you think

Oh wait

The file is too big

Video cant upload

I'll just put it on my yt

[lime lake]

https://youtu.be/cAE0wkvWyDo

There we go

[proven valve]

Cool! I like the look of that

[winged zinc]

thx!

[dusk flare]

How do you like my landing strip and safety railing under moonpools?

[dusk flare]

Daylighter photo

[brisk sphinx]

it aint much but it's home

[brisk sphinx]

i love how the power transmitters kinda look like fences

[gray ember]

Hey our bases are in the same spot! Also greato daze

[barren fern]

I thought of doing a base in there as I like the gloomy vibe of the seatreader path biome, unfortunately it's so far from everything else and so scarce in resources that it seems really impractical

but hey, at least u get seatreader poop to fuel ur bioreactor 😄

[keen oracle]

I mean you get infinite lithium, gold and diamonds

not that the latter 2 are super helpful but at least lithium comes in handy for reinforcements

Sea Treader's path is such an underrated biome, I should make a base there sometime

[queen frigate]

Whose bases? I wish I could center mine.

[queen frigate]

BTW, this is the channel that I should have been in to begin with, not the regular chat channel which seems toxic and mostly useless. Can't wait to post some pics of my bases when I get home.

[rare loom]

it always freaked me out honestly. My settings always made it look dark, and I'd always accidentally go into the void somehow

[keen oracle]

am I weird for liking the dark, ominous biomes more than the shallower, lighter ones

idk I've just always been that way 😛

[queen frigate]

I can only think of a couple things that used diamonds, but I have so many!

[keen oracle]

I probably do as well

they're a lot more useful in BZ cause you make enamelled glass with them

which is so much nicer than Stalker teeth

those things are a pain to get in large quantities

[queen frigate]

I’m not there yet. I am ready to build my escape rocket, but I want to spruce up my buildings before I leave. “Just in case anyone else gets stranded.”

…and then I’ll do my first bz play.

[keen oracle]

ah I see

base building is my favourite aspect of the game

I've always loved making stuff underwater in games like Minecraft so Subnautica was basically a dream come true

[lime lake]

It's very lucrative yeah

I farm their shale drops regularly

[lime lake]

true

[lost monolith]

WIP starter base

what do yall think?

[queen frigate]

Without judgement I ask why you have two moonpools?

[crude ivy]

Probably one for prawn and one for seamoth

[worthy tusk]

nice. my bases usually just involve an mp room, a moonpool, and a scanner room.

not even starter bases, I use them for the whole game. nice and compact.

[lost monolith]

i was getting the prawn soon

speaking of which i just did 👍

[shrewd owl]

big q, do bases need foundations? for the multipurpose rooms?

[pale idol]

no but foundations give hull integrity points and kinda look nice imo

[shrewd owl]

ohhh

cries in wasting time finding lead

[pale idol]

i love foundations. i love lead

[shrewd owl]

now i gotta farm stalker teeth.... i dont even have a seamoth yet

[pale idol]

why BZ has no large lead deposits?

[shrewd owl]

another q, how many rooms can a generator/bioreacter can power at a time?

im planning to connect all bases into one huge tunnel but im concerned abt power

[dusk flare]

Build moonpools.

[pseudo rain]

Yesterday, I built a foundation, a large room, got oxygen into it, built a bioreactor, planted 18 (no cap) Lantern tree, built a storage room. All that in 1 hour bruh, like I had to find materials, and the lantern tree fron the island

[ornate escarp]

It wasn't thought about at the time according to the devs.

Besides, there is plenty of Galena Outcrops in the world for you to break and get your Lead.

[keen oracle]

👀

I too am a foundation enjoyer, I don't think I've made a single decent sized base that wasn't on top of a big bed of them

[pale idol]

Very found of your base.

[keen oracle]

thanks

I have more that look better

the one above is a Reaper containment

that isn't 100% finished yet

[pale idol]

I know. But it still feels like diamonds and lead swapped in terms of rarity.

Lead my beloved.

[astral slate]

Ikr

[lost monolith]

break room i made before taking a break

i'll finish decorating later

[queen frigate]

I wish my buildings didn’t sit crooked atop them.

[lost monolith]

what do yall think

[scenic jewel]

Wow it’s very nice looking all my rooms just have basic stuff and a couple decorations

[tepid plume]

reminds me of my old base

before they removed it off xbox

[proven valve]

Lost river base

[pale idol]

Symmetrical. Fancy.

[dark ridge]

whast that medium sized room?

nvm it moonpool

[bitter canyon]

That look nice

[floral girder]

What should I add in here?

[lost monolith]

making good progress

what do yall think?

[pine harness]

I love it, it's symmetrical

After beating the game, get hoards of resources and make multiple cyclops, just for decoration

And add more height to ur base, not just one floor

[pine harness]

Can't believe you actually made it where I told you too

Wait I just realized, u did the same thing with the moonpool and scanner room

Wait a second..

[pale idol]

Usually some greenery and windows go well with water station.

[pine harness]

Jk it looks good, expand ur base

[past brook]

Little research station (with loads of plants plants is key)?

[pseudo rain]

I built my base, and I forgot to save, like I was playing for 2 hours, and its now gone

[frank cairn]

made this in creative. Thought I would share

[finite bone]

There are wall dividers in Subnautica 1??

[worthy tusk]

yep. see #announcements

[finite bone]

Those only state that they added the large rooms and etc

[worthy tusk]

guess the dividers just come with the large room.

[proven valve]

Great view

Nah bro this guy won't leave

[wicked fable]

trap something in there

[keen oracle]

it is a Reaper containment

I just haven't gotten the Reaper inside yet

[pine harness]

U sure you did ur research on reapers despawning?

[keen oracle]

they don't despawn

no creature does except for the void Ghost Leviathans

[pine harness]

Alright

Also how did you transport all that titanium for that big cage

Cyclop shipments? Fill it up and start building, and then repeat

I would build that but lag

I started my 5 day world on the PS4 version...while being on the ps5

So I can't transfer or anything

[keen oracle]

pretty much yeah

the Cyclops is basically my cargo freighter whenever I play this game 😛

I stock it up with a beefy amount of lockers

[pine harness]

I would do that but I need to make sure it looks very decorative

[pine harness]

Where do you go for ur titanium? Around the aurora?

[keen oracle]

I usually start in the Shallows, then branch out to the Crash Zone and Kelp Forest, and I also raid places like the Blood Kelp Zone, Grand Reef and especially the Lost River for deposits

even the Inactive Lava Zone once those places start running scarce

LR has a ton of both titanium and quartz deposits so I can be there for a long time before it starts getting hard to find

This is my Cyclops layout in my hardcore save btw (the one with the Reaper containment)
https://youtu.be/vy8tKsMvnRw

[queen frigate]

Almost done with the structure. Just need to surface for some more enameled glass.

[queen frigate]

It would have been more compact, but I decided I wanted a luxurious amount of space for my aquaria - now located in the large rooms.

They were originally MP rooms, but that didn't give be enough room to walk around the tanks.

[pseudo rain]

Gosh all that in survivor? Like I only built a Large room yet, with a bio-reactor and some lantern fruit

[queen frigate]

I have another one just like this outside of LP5, and a stupid-big complex just outside the blood kelp trench too. All the same save. More pics as I go.

[finite bone]

I'm going to move bases again. Reefbacks are pricks

I was settled on the grassy plateaus, any recommendations? I prefer the south of the map

[signal roost]

Let me think

[waxen timber]

?

[signal roost]

Another grassy plateau is a good choice

Or near underwater floating islands

[queen frigate]

What's going on with reefbacks?

[pseudo rain]

I think he/she means they are annoying and sometimes they crash into whatever base is built there

[queen frigate]

I’ve seen that happen. I just feel bad for them.

[pale idol]

I want to repost your message to pronoun people. This wording is really amusing for them)

Also reefbacks get stuck on air pipes all the time.

[queen frigate]

Here’s the silliest part: my playthrough is pretty much done. I’m just popping up a couple of these bases for fun, pretending I’m putting them there in case someone else gets marooned.

[eternal pelican]

I wish multiplayer was not a mod but in the real game

[pseudo rain]

Maybe tomorrow I'm gonna post my tree cove base

Because i play on ps4 i always have only one base

[eternal pelican]

Same

[pseudo rain]

Medium size

[queen frigate]

Size is relative.

[pseudo rain]

Okay, not like some of the ones that appear here

Nowadays 2 or 3 large rooms

Moonpool, radar, aquariums and so on

[queen frigate]

Yours is medium compared to that?

[pseudo rain]

Mine is going to be that

That's medium to me

[queen frigate]

Now I'm on the same page.

[dark ridge]

new main base (yipee)

[pseudo rain]

How many cyclops does one man need

[pseudo rain]

What should I name my base

[pine harness]

I called mine atlantis

And named my main cyclops Poseidon

[pine harness]

And the other 2 cyclops, tridents

[pseudo rain]

I want something unique

[pine harness]

Pond

[dusk flare]

Oculus Sinister, Oculus Dexter, Oculus Animae

[pine harness]

Bob

[pseudo rain]

Most gay names I’ve heard so far

[pine harness]

💀

[royal mortar]

A+gasi, cuz D gasi is failure

[pseudo rain]

Thats a little sad, I just started Playing Subnautica 3 weeks ago, and The first week was goddamn scary, so I was just swimming In the Safe Shallows, and then I watched some Subnahtuca memes, and I got Confortable with the game. I will try to explore the Aurora (First time, I saw a Reaper Leviathan next to the Enterance And I was In a Seamoth... I got vack to my base, I didnt wanted to die)

[hot grove]

Or lemon base my Base name is Lemon Base

[pseudo rain]

Better than all the other names I’ve heard

Then you log in and they all move

[hot grove]

Thx mate

[signal roost]

Cyclops fleet

[signal roost]

Interview for a job room?

[pseudo rain]

My office where I look down upon everyone

[pseudo rain]

What other rooms should I add to my base

[pine harness]

A war room

Moonpool, seamoth, storage for all torpedos, make that two moonpools bcs prawn

[pseudo rain]

I already got two moonpoools

I send a better pic of base later where you can see everything

I got an office, living room, three kitchens, storage room, a main bedroom and small one, two moonpools, a lab, and an aquarium

[pseudo rain]

I need some pics to see what it’ll look like

Here’s an older pic of my base, I’ve added two large rooms since then where my office and living room

[pine harness]

Alright hmm

You've seen my base, I'm just out of ideas now

If u look right under the third cyclops, I have three large rooms there, I built a bunch of decoration stuff there and the middle large room was the war room

[pseudo rain]

Base building is the best part of subnautica in my opinion

I just need to find where I can put more large rooms at

My two are stacked in the back

[dusk flare]

Isn't this game basically underwater base building?

[pseudo rain]

Yeah I spend like 70 percent of my time just building

[scenic jewel]

I build a lot too

Not quite that much

But a lot

[loud forge]

Were you doing creative or survival?

I'm in the process of planning in survival, wondering how long the grind will take for mats

[lost monolith]

I mean you can complete the story

[dusk flare]

naaaw

[pine harness]

Survival

When I started I had hoards and hoards of resources, and I went overrpepapred for making anything

And then I made a storage cyclops and cleared everything in the lost River and lava zone

And I ran out of titanium just doing interior, it was like 8 lockers of titanium

And then I got 13 lockers just from going around the aurora

Fun game

[loud forge]

Storage cyclops was my plan haha. I'll show my progress here as I go

[pseudo rain]

I got a bunch from doing that but my seamoth keeps getting attacked so I can’t get anymore without being careful

[loud forge]

Just get a knife and a stasis and go to war

I'll be doing that for the sake of material collecting.

[pseudo rain]

Kind hard when it takes my whole vehicle while I’m in it

[loud forge]

I'd use the sonar module on the seamoth to see it before it sees you

Makes it easier to fight him safely 🙂

[pseudo rain]

I only have the Debth module

[loud forge]

If you can get the sonar, it seriously makes traveling a lot safer

[pseudo rain]

I’ll have to upgrade it when I play next

[pine harness]

Just go overkill, have tons of medkits and perimeter defense, and activate sonar every now and then

It's not possible to die

And bring materials to kill any leviathan you encounter, I cleared all of the lr

Not sea dragons tho, didn't realize I couldn't kill with thermobhlade

[pseudo rain]

I’m more worried about my seamoth getting destroyed than me

But I’ll definitely take that advice and try to kill it

[pine harness]

Get a stasis perimeter defense and sonar is all you need

Along with repair tool and medkits

You'll be fine man trust me

[pseudo rain]

@pine harness wait is the stasis riffle used for freezing the creature or my seamoth

[pine harness]

Freezing creatures, why would u want to freeze ur seamoth

[pseudo rain]

It said to freeze physical objects so I was confused

[pine harness]

Yeah u can charge and freeze monsters for longer, also useful for catching tons of fish or getting gas pods

Gas pods are the deadliest weapons, u can kill a sea dragon with a full inventory of them

[drifting lava]

Does anyone like my base

[worthy tusk]

big base

[steel nebula]

Oo. I like it.

[pseudo rain]

Nice

[drifting lava]

YES

I finally made the cope chair

That took so long

The cope chair is at the end of a hallway of L compartments and it is just a chair with a sign above it that says “COPE.”, also the hall stretches for si long it is 100+ meters away from my main base.

It doesnt even fully fit in my render distance

[worthy tusk]

what the heck

[drifting lava]

The cope chair

[austere umbra]

Am i making good progress? This is my first serious playthrough, I have 4 hours and 30 minutes in this save file and I have unlocked seamoth, seamoth hud upgrade, seamoth depth module mk 2, I have thermoblade, ultra glide fins, Ion cubes, a ton of ruby, ultra high capacity tank, and i have scanned like half the cyclops blueprints, oh and i also have enough materiels to make a laser cutter but i haven't did it yet

[heady jacinth]

I mean, unless you're speedrunning, swim around and enjoy the game, is progressing quickly important?

[austere umbra]

Im trying to progress quick, does not mean i wanna rush the game and beat it before I unlock a bunch of stuff, im gonna go for 100%

[drifting lava]

I marked all of the rooms if anyone has any questions

[faint sorrel]

Why is 18 cut off?

[fringe summit]

I presume it goes to the copium chair

[finite bone]

I'm in a dilema
I really like the spot my base is in, but the reefbacks drive me nuts

Once, 3 of them crossed paths, it sounded like tanker horns firing every 3 seconds

[drifting lava]

That was recently added

[drifting lava]

Yes

[pseudo rain]

What does the 14th room? Its foggy, I cant really see it

[drifting lava]

Here, the old one for some reason didnt show 12 and 15

[drifting lava]

Its a large room with a lot of storage and an alien containment for my gasopod

And a glass dome

[pseudo rain]

Thanks, but what does the 2 large room do? (17, 3)

[drifting lava]

Just want ti quickly mention that these are numbered in chronological order of being added

[drifting lava]

3= A chill area and two alien containments with one holding hostile fish and the other docile fish, this room is the main part of the base.
17= empty room to be put to use later, with a glass dome and windows all around

Also 16= Large room with partitions set up ti create a bunch of rooms, including a conference room for some reason and a bedroom, and a science lab

[pseudo rain]

Thanks!

[drifting lava]

Also i am only missing one egg/creature in subnautica, which is ||lava lizard|| because i havent gone into ||lava zone|| yet

[scenic jewel]

I didn’t know those have eggs

I don’t really want one cuz they ugly and musty lookin

[pale idol]

lava lizards are cute and underrated

[drifting lava]

Yes they are cute but i still need ti grab some kyanite before i can be completely safe in lava zone

[pseudo rain]

Here's my current base still being upgraded, in the moonpool there is my Sal (prawn suit). Sara which is my seamoth lives near the lifepod, and Sam which is the cyclops

[drifting lava]

Nice and simple. I like it!

[silent slate]

Nice base

[drifting lava]

Thanks! I can tell you what any room is if you want. They’re numbered in chronological order of when they were added.

[silent slate]

You should make a cyclops dock

[drifting lava]

Its sad that there is bo designated cyclops dock, but yeah j might make some semblance of a dock for my cyclops

[silent slate]

Like with a box of I pieces and foundation pieces?

[manic condor]

how do you power it down there?

[pale idol]

nuclear or thermal. easiest way - bioreactor.

[pseudo rain]

It's not that visible but there is a thermal vent in the back of the large room

[manic condor]

but you need those power connectors for that if the thermal thingy is further away?

[pseudo rain]

Yep i have one

[manic condor]

i juts cant find the fragments for them... ive seen some power connectors but i just cant scan them... thats really annoying

[gray plinth]

Look in the mushroom forest

[keen oracle]

it looks like a giant snake 😂

[drifting lava]

It is a work of art.

[jagged fractal]

i like it, i would always overwork my bases, urs is simple and it still has all it needs

[pseudo rain]

Thanks since then I added another large room on top of the other and some stuff inside

[pale idol]

those eyes are literally what you get if you brighten up original image

[silent slate]

Funny reaper

[drifting lava]

And the mouth?

[pale idol]

According to True Gamers (тм) it’s how it’s supposed to be. Hire fans lol

That’s no awsome base discussion.

[drifting lava]

Yeah looks right

[drifting lava]

However, it is an awesomely based discussion.

[steel nebula]

Oh dear god😂

[keen oracle]

I click on the Subnautica Discord and this is the first thing I see, lovely xD

[scenic jewel]

What was it

[austere umbra]

Should i try to get seamoth mk 3 or seamoth perimeter defence first?

oh wait nvm i already have all the ingredients to make mk 3 upgrade

[worthy tusk]

and mk3 anyways

plus you should ask in #subnautica-chat.

[austere umbra]

oh lol whoops

didnt realize this is base chat

[keen oracle]

cursed pic of a Reaper

[drifting lava]

Can you show me in dms im interested now

[keen oracle]

don't have the image anymore cause it was deleted

but it was basically a Reaper with human teeth and eyes with pupils

[drifting lava]

Ohh i saw that

It was very cool looking

[keen oracle]

idk if that's quite the word I'd use xD

[drifting lava]

Cursed, funny, and weird but the eyes looked cool

Also there should be a #cursed-art channel

Or just cursed

I guess #memes-and-media kind of counts

[silent slate]

my 3 bases in BZ

these 2 are one base V

[keen oracle]

Are those in survival? not bad

[pine harness]

I gave up trying to find any resources in bz

[silent slate]

Yea

Thx

[pseudo rain]

When I was moving bases to the lost river found them in mushroom forest and blood kelp zones

[drifting lava]

They look great!

[silent slate]

Thanks

[pseudo rain]

Is that a mod or can you actually make your base green in bellow 0

[worthy tusk]

It's vanilla, you can do it with the control room.

[drifting lava]

That looks great! One of my biggest regrets with my own base is that i made it mostly one floor, but your base is an excellent example of a great two-floor base.

[dusky nebula]

thank you!

[scenic jewel]

I should add a second floor to my base

But idk how

[worthy tusk]

ladders

[pseudo rain]

Damn I got 3 floors

[scenic jewel]

Ok

[dusk flare]

How did you get such color saturation? I have mine colored blue, but it just shows as gray-metallic blue.

[silent slate]

I turned fog off

[lime lake]

currently working on a room for my nuclear reactor

Gonna also act as my electrical room

wish the control room was in the base game aswell

[waxen timber]

From what I know it seems very useful

[silent slate]

My nuclear reactor room is just reinforcements with a bulkhead entrance

[young flame]

Every time I play I go in creative mode, build an epic base, play for a bit, leave, and most of the time never come back for no reason

[dusk flare]

all 7 sides, or just the three 'most counting' ones?

[silent slate]

All sides

[pale raven]

my nice lil' base

[drifting lava]

Cool!

[manic condor]

Where is it located @pale raven ?

[worthy tusk]

Looks like one of the mushroom forests

[pale raven]

Between the mushroom forest near the aurora and bulb zone.

[lost monolith]

base update

what do yall think?

[worthy tusk]

I think you should eat something

[pale raven]

Big

[pine harness]

Looking great bro

Make a cyclops for only storage and go around the aurora for titanium

And then make three large rooms on the top floor right before the moonpools

[lost monolith]

my cyclops is entirely used for storage/exploration

also i use bulb zone for large titanium as it has no

[pale raven]

Idk about that... I live there and have had some close encounters with sammy.

#subnautica-chat message

[lost monolith]

sammy...?

[pale raven]

The reaper near the bow of the aurora

[pale raven]

based on this map. Spoilers for most of the game.

[drifting lava]

I’m renaming them for myself because fun

The theee ancient void ghosts j named Toast, Donut and Bagel

[pale idol]

Steve and Samantha ganged up on me.

[storm lion]

ive killed Zissou, Shepard, Eileen, and Mabel

they were disturbing the peace.

[pseudo rain]

What do you guys think

[pale raven]

Very big

[pseudo rain]

Hehe thanks

I plan on adding about 4 more large rooms

Maybe more 🤔

[pine harness]

Sure but make sure to not make it boxy

[pseudo rain]

Yeah planning my layout is the hardest part tbh

I’m kinda going for a industrial vibe but don’t want it to boxy

[pale raven]

I always try to limit my use of multi rooms and large multi rooms because using more i, t, and x comparments just looks better imo.

[slim fern]

I just came back to subnautica after a few months

i had no idea they were gonna add this but I wanted it for so long

[queen frigate]

I like this. Two scanners AND two moonpools? 🏀 🏀

[pulsar glade]

My first ever base . This is about 3 weeks of gameplay now. Can only make it so big in the safe shallows. My next base is gon be in the underwater islands , going to be much much larger , also will be easier to park my cyclops

After that ima build in the grand reef

[manic condor]

aint the sand sandsharks or levis attack the bases? or do they leave them alone?

[pseudo rain]

Leviathans attack, sand sharks I'm not sure

[manic condor]

do they do proper dammage? or jsut minor stuff?

[pseudo rain]

Never tried, too afraid, don't know

[manic condor]

haha, same... thats why im asking haha

[pseudo rain]

Search on youtube like i did

[steel nebula]

Nothing will really attack a base itself, but the player if they leave the base. If something big like a reaper happens to crash into a base, it may do some actual damage. At least thats what ive heard.

[sturdy steeple]

reapers cannot damage your base. ive had one caged for a while and haven't taken any hull damage

[steel nebula]

Oh.

[pale raven]

Anyone have tips for base building? I'm pretty good, I just want to know if there's anything I can improve on. Here's my base.

[drifting lava]

If you dont have any alien containment for pet fish, get it

[pale raven]

That top multi room is my alien containment

filled with my favorite fishies

(Oculus)

[drifting lava]

You should build another alien containment to hatch eggs! Its very fun!

[pale raven]

The oculus will share with the other fishies

[astral slate]

They added cyclops dock 😲

?

[pale raven]

modded game

[astral slate]

Oh I c

I wanted a cyclops dock tho😭

[drifting lava]

Me too :(

[lost monolith]

2 moonpools isn't a common design choice? where do people keep their prawns in that case?

[drifting lava]

Yeah two moonpools is a good thing for a basein any playthrough

[queen frigate]

I just park it on the curb. Nothing has ever happened to it.

[drifting lava]

Thats what happens for my cyclops

[queen frigate]

I could see it if my bases were in unsafe places, but they’re not. I tend to bring my moonpool around with me depending on where I’m going to be spending more time.

[scenic jewel]

I have two moonpools

[steel nebula]

I always get 2 moonpools.

[lost monolith]

but then it doesn't charge

[queen frigate]

Hehe. Yeah it does.
Or, it’s got ion power cells and it’s still 90.

(And or)

[queen frigate]

From cove tree to life pod 5 takes 3% of its total power.

[languid peak]

just casually puts one of the most deadly predators into a cage

[wraith charm]

where should i build my first base?

[pale idol]

In sn - grassy plateaus, in bz - lily pads. That’s where I build them.

[wraith charm]

thanks

[keen oracle]

Ah, at last I can show off my 4 favourite bases in a properly displayed image grid

[pale raven]

The bottom one is extremely pretty! I love the minimalist design.

[keen oracle]

thanks!

[dusk flare]

is that cyclops docked to vertical connector?

[pale raven]

cyclops docking mod

[dusk flare]

so pretty...

[pale raven]

'tis a great mod

[dusk flare]

Random thing I've noticed in many people bases - why so many corridors?
I only use corridors in my base to put bulkheads in for roleplay reasons - my medium base has total 3 corridor pieces, and could as well have zero if I skipped realistic sectioning.

[pale raven]

I use them because they are cheap and space efficient. I only use 1 or 2 rooms.

[dusk flare]

they give huge integrity penalty compared to their space

[pale raven]

I put like 2 foundations andm some reinforcement for my entire base.

[stiff yarrow]

Here’s the survival void shrimp base I made in below zero

Sorry about the image quality lol

[drifting lava]

Nice base!

[drifting lava]

I dont really use corridors for the same reason

[pale idol]

show the shrimps in the window

[stiff yarrow]

This is the only pic I have right now… Il get more impressive ones once I finish gathering recources

[pale idol]

Base I didn’t finish cos everything got deleted.
Location is one of the coolest ones I think.

[drifting lava]

Sadj

[past brook]

The angle of the last pic makes the little guy do terrifying

[pseudo rain]

Whoa images are great

[pale idol]

Idk why, but when I take screens from SNAppdata, they become grainy and dark. Like, this cave has glowing ceiling but on screens it’s faded and dark.

[worthy tusk]

could be discord compression messing with it

[pale raven]

That is beautiful

[dusk flare]

I think game itself adds some compression or even intentional noise in the datapad screenshots

[stiff yarrow]

More shrimp pics

[analog oyster]

Why are you taking pics of your monitor

[stiff yarrow]

hehe

[analog oyster]

Screenshot button is f11

and also f12 if you have the steam ver

[stiff yarrow]

Yeah but my device is really old i cant transfer the screenshots

[dusk flare]

My CEO bedroom/office with private bathroom. Should I keep the wall next to bed for some privacy, or remove it, so I can watch the big alien containment with fishies during nights?

[pale idol]

ooo this one super neat

[pale idol]

i used a small aquarium as a wall, but it's not tall

[pale raven]

Keep it

[pseudo rain]

You can bring cuddle fish in your base?

[pale idol]

it clipped and stuck there

[pseudo rain]

Ah

[pale idol]

but i heard people do all sorts of stuff with propulsion canon

[pale raven]

I've brought a forklift into my base

[pale idol]

pic or not real

[pale raven]

On ps4, deleted save, sadly

[keen oracle]

my favourite is the glitch where you can turn any small to medium sized object into a flying surfboard

including some creatures 😂

[pale idol]

crab hover board

[lime lake]

same but I've put some signs up and power cell chargers

Oh wow I never knew you could put kelp in the container for fish

That's mad I might try that in my Seatreader base

[pseudo rain]

Yeah and creates light

[cerulean zodiac]

Any plants that you can grow in an underwater growbed can be put in the containment

Though some need a particularly tall containment to grow to full size

[dusk flare]

the kelp/vine needs double height containment unit. In large room must be stacked perfectly, stairs-style does not work.
source: learned the inconvenient way yesterday

[lime lake]

cool good to know

Atm I just have fan coral violets and mushrooms

Seems like a good natural shallows look

[drifting lava]

For my challegne world, my base is avobe the water mostly

I already made 4 multipurpose rooms and 2 largr rooms

[radiant ferry]

In BZ, I rebuilt the Omega Lab Facility in Lilypads. I put an copy of the base on top of it. That's how it must have look when it was newly built.

[dusk flare]

Foward Base "Vertigo"
Features large storage area in bottom lg room and kitchen/captain quarters/bathroom in upper room.
Powered by nuclear reactor in the tower (also keeps the sushi tank warm).
Moonpool has a landing strip for easy prawn access, separated by bulkhead for flood prevention.
Truck dock connected as-is (has built in bulkhead)
Reactor tower also separated by bulkheads.
Command+scanner connected in one line, they have almost same length as truck dock.
Built overhanging a small cliff.

Truck only has fabricator/sleeping/5 storage and prawn dock, I left my aquarium and teleport at home base due to manouvering issues in the cave 😉. Base has built in storage pad for the modules.

[drifting lava]

The view from the top area of my base

In my new challenge world

[pseudo rain]

not so much my base (though you can see my "prawn pad") but i wanted to show off my prawn suit. i named it Gravity Suit and colored it like samus' gravity suit from super metroid.

[pine harness]

You have a prawn pad?

Make a cyclops garage

[pale raven]

That’s a big prawn pad

mines just the open spot of the foundation next to the hatch

[mystic shuttle]

"You got any games on your PDA?"

[manic condor]

quite clever||, because the prawn gets stuck in alien bases when you port yourself... that way he wont get stuck||

[cerulean zodiac]

Parking the PRAWN Suit on a foundation is something I do out of habit

I don't know if it's still a thing, but back in early access I kept losing my PRAWNs just from the terrain beneath them not being loaded when I'm far away

They'd just fall into the abyss

Bases are always loaded though

[pine harness]

Ohh makes sense

[dusk flare]

You don't park your prawns in moonpools?

[worthy tusk]

I park it on the back of a seatruck

[dusk flare]

Packed the bad boy into penalty box . [why does command room only have text on one side??]

[keen oracle]

I just realized Shadow Leviathans are basically just big black arrows lol

[autumn narwhal]

I have a PRAWN landing bay under my moonpool, too, but one issue I have is that it seems to count as a different base, and as such it doesn't get powered. I tried power transmitters, but they didn't work. Any hints?

[pseudo rain]

If it isn't in a cave use solar power (a crap ton of it)

[foggy saddle]

Destroy it, make it connected to your base, then destroy the connection

[jagged yew]

Theyre modeled after flatworms maybe

[pale idol]

Looks like some primitive fish to me (which do resemble worms).

[drifting lava]

Not worms, flatworms

Flatworms are these

[pale idol]

Flat worms are worms. And some cartilaginous fish do resemble them due to convergence (they often bottom-dwelling scavengers so they look similar despite not being directly related)

[drifting lava]

Well, worms in the group Platyhelminthes, which invluded flatworms, tapeworms, and flukes, so not just worms.

[drifting lava]

Also i think ghost leviathans would probably be able to thrive in the cold environment of bz

Their wide, bioluminescent outer membrane would probably protect them from the cold and attract prey, and their feeding system is accustomed ti areas with little ti no prey, picking up plankton and nutrients in the water along with small fish, providing them with (probably) adequate food and allowing them ti thrive and breed. Their eggs could be laid in more secluded caves, and they might hibernate to stay warm. Their cartilaginous hammerhead can ram larger prey or potential competitors, and they are extremely fast and deadly, far outcompeting any other ocean predators, putting them on top of the food chain and thus giving them a fighting chance in any environment.

[heady jacinth]

I think most of the stuff living outside the shallows would, except maybe LZ creatures. The deep ocean is very cold everywhere it's not lava heated.

[drifting lava]

Yeah def not ||sea dragon||

Comfort: 10
Usefulness: 9

Great base!

[drifting lava]

Feels so weird to look at this as bare terrain.

[drifting lava]

My beautiful base in my challenge run. The first pic is the large riom at the top, and the sectioned off area (bedroom) is the second pic. Thus is just the large riom on top, btw, i have more base than this.

[dusk flare]

is there a story why there is a poster on the glass with chair in front of it?

My garden area (BZ). All farmable land plants, small kitchen area for preparing the produce and a bench to rest from work.

[frozen minnow]

I made that base in creative, nothing special. GrandReef (-1232 -331 -1186), be CAREFULL cuz there near 1 ghost leviathan

[pulsar glade]

Do you see any crabsquids or ghost leviathans in that area

Nice base btw

[pulsar glade]

Nvm, just saw the outline of the ghost leviathan

[frozen minnow]

only 1 ghost leviathan 😄

[pulsar glade]

What part of the reef is it ?

[frozen minnow]

grand reef

(-1232 -331 -1186) heres the coords

[pulsar glade]

Yes . Indeed my favourite part

[versed fox]

If you get a prawn suit with grapple and drill arm you can latch onto its back and drill it to death. I pulled this off one time and it was the most fun

[wraith charm]

i built a bar inside my base because i had a spare room, it turned out pretty cool

[short pewter]

You can also collect gas pods and use a stasis rifle

[thick pawn]

bed room slash kitchen slash work place slash greenhouse slash fabrication facility

[pseudo rain]

Below Zero?

[thick pawn]

Yes

[pseudo rain]

Then bye, no spoiler for me lol

Btw it looks sick

[thick pawn]

thanks

[maiden nova]

My new base in grand reef with cyclops dock

[drifting lava]

Mod im guessing

[maiden nova]

Yuup

No cheats tho the titanium grind was ridiculous

[drifting lava]

That’s more like it! Time to finally fuel my bioreactor!

[foggy yew]

What’s the tallest possible alien containment? Or is the limit as tall as you can build

[drifting lava]

As tall as you can build j guess

[keen oracle]

that would probably be 16,384 m
8192 both up and down from the surface

that would look pretty insane lol, just a 16 kilometer high tube of water

[drifting lava]

Wow

[keen oracle]

yeah you know how if you go 8192 m down in the void you get teleported back to the Shallows? I'm pretty sure the same happens if you're that distance up in the sky

although it's significantly harder to get there than underwater xD

the fact that this is only 1/8 of the max build height is nuts

[drifting lava]

Wow

I want ti make a base that tall sometime

Was it difficult?

Ok just tell me how you did it

[dusk flare]

A double cage for two centipedes.

[split drum]

fought my little base was cool, and then went on this channel. it was my mistake.

[drifting lava]

Show us the baaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeee

[dusk flare]

Show what you have, small can also be pretty.
And if its not pretty, then scout the channel and learn.

[drifting lava]

Yeah small bases are nice

[tired drift]

how my subnautica bedroom look like?

[pulsar glade]

Who’s the second bed for

Very nice room btw

[tired drift]

sadly sea mama aint a human 😦

[cerulean zodiac]

How do you get those dudes in there?

[pseudo rain]

What fabricators are those?

[tired drift]

there mods

the green one is uh the decor

and the purple one is a base kit

basicly makes a kit that you wont need to carry all the things

[pseudo rain]

Neat

[tired drift]

like lets say you got space for 2 multipurpose rooms but you wana carry some more you make em into kits

then it makes em into 1x1 kits

[pseudo rain]

Gotchu

[tired drift]

aight great

[drifting lava]

In my challenge world i also have a bedroom in a large room with glass dome above the water with a good view of the aurora.

[dusk flare]

Thats really simple. Just stand inside cage (using prawn). They try to chew you. run outside between bars. Enter hatch. quickly run to other side of cage unseen, then build a module so they can't get out. Their size is 3 I corridors wide, and 4 vertical connectors tall.

[drifting lava]

My new observatory and the view from said observatory!

Subnautica is a beautiful game.

[pseudo rain]

Scary but beautiful*

[drifting lava]

True

[night trout]

is the hitbox that fat that they cant squize through the gaps?

[drifting lava]

Fat centipede i guess

[night trout]

lol

goofy logiks

[dusk flare]

Its big. If you build a 5 I corridor wide cage (including the corridors, so 3 I wide inside), if you put T-pieces at end pointing inwards, they can't squeeze in(!)

[night trout]

damn ok

[dusk flare]

I have yet to see if lobsters can fit in smaller space

[lime lake]

||spiderman dies in your base at the end of the game||

So sad

[drifting lava]

Wdym

[tired drift]

this may be the BEST bedroom

[pseudo rain]

Made a railing using power transmitters that I thought looked kinda cool!

[drifting lava]

Nice! It does look cool!

[pseudo rain]

Thanks!

[drifting lava]

Thats subnauotca with mods right

[tired drift]

yeah

but there all bepin ex

there super ez to install

[drifting lava]

I want that little prawn suit

Like irl

[tired drift]

i want the full size prawn

irl

[drifting lava]

Prawn suit is the best vehicle no contest and i am proving that by beating the entire game with no seamoth, no cyclops, and no portals.

[tired drift]

i mean i just carry my prawn in the cyclops when im going

and if i hit smth it can survive

[drifting lava]

Same but with no cyclops its still possible to get on both islands actually

Because grapple arm

[lime lake]

how do u get the mark figurine I've looked all over the shallows can't find it. Maybe it's in a life pod?

[drifting lava]

Do you want to know ehere it is

[lime lake]

yeah pls

I have no clue

[drifting lava]

||Lifepod 7||

[lime lake]

Ok good i was looking in a totally different one

[drifting lava]

Lifepod 7 is south of Wreck 10 which in turn is east of the ||degas|| island

[lime lake]

oh thanks

I love that place

[ornate escarp]

A railing that zaps you every time you want to look over the edge.

[keen oracle]

it's a safety rail : D

prevents you from getting too close to it

[drifting lava]

That kind of stuff needs to be in the base game for people like me and you who love building bases and decorating

[tired drift]

ayyyyy

[dusk flare]

Looks cool, have similar in my landing pad, but they loose beam after game restart. may need a lone solar battery to keep the beam on

[pseudo rain]

Then where is Jacksepticeye's?

[drifting lava]

That was limited i think

[pseudo rain]

Dammit

[lime lake]

Lil septic sam is the best

[ornate escarp]

I believe this is a Steam only thing (I could be wrong), but in the settings, there is a tab labelled 'Redeem a key'. If you paste the code, SMHB-VC57-V748-8EGU-1EO in it, it'll unlock the Jack's Septic Tank for you to permanently have and will be buildable in all saves.

[cedar escarp]

i dont think that exists anymore

[ornate escarp]

People have been able to get it.

[hard wasp]

I think the Redeem a key thing still is there

[rose flume]

It was added back after being broken for quite a while but definitely now works again, but like Slicey said it's Steam only.

Although I don't know if in specific his code works.

[thick pawn]

Artifact research outpost

Green house

[drifting lava]

Cool! I should show you guys my disease research laboratory!

[sour idol]

Loosing a hardcore base sucks

I was gonna show a pic but

A drooping stinger wasn’t loaded fully so I ran into an invisible one and died in the jellyshroom cave base

[drifting lava]

That sucks :(

[sour idol]

I’m currently rebuilding it in creative

Because it was one of my favorite bases

[drifting lava]

I look forward to seeing it!

[vivid tartan]

my survival underwater islands base

[sour idol]

im almost done rebuilding the base

surprising how i got it exactly the same

took a while to remember where the exact spot was tho

[vernal vessel]

Just curious that the base attached air pump is not in the game.

[lime lake]

currently building a Seatreader base

and will eventually do a mushroom base

[jagged yew]

Hello. This is nasa. We’d like to kindly ask you to return our computer please…

[narrow fulcrum]

@quiet radish

[dusty oxide]

I think I’m gonna build one last base on survival before finally moving on to below zero

it’s gonna be like the headquarters of Alterra on the crater

[frank cairn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cHRzboml-o&t=57s backrooms in subnautica below zero

[drifting lava]

I made backrooms in subnautica

[dusty oxide]

jesus christ what platform are you playing on lmao

[drifting lava]

Probably pc

Also nahhhhh thats just halls man, you gotta put up the larhe rooms

[dusty oxide]

just hallways makes the place more terrifying imo

like the backrooms level 2

[drifting lava]

I have like 50+ large rooms in my backrooms, and it’s surprisingly not that laggy

Eh, a bunch of large rooms gives off a more liminal vibe imo

It quite literally takes about 10-20 seconds to construct any base object in that world

But when youre not constructing anything theres not mucch lag

[frank cairn]

Ye pc… it’s an old one do…

[dusty oxide]

doesn’t feel as scary to me

[frank cairn]

I know… but it’s way to laggy :/

[drifting lava]

What platform?

[dusty oxide]

just a base with the lights turned off and made entirely out of hallways would be the scariest to navigate through imo

[dusty oxide]

he literally just said it

[frank cairn]

Lol

[drifting lava]

Ah dont mind me being blind

[frank cairn]

Btw is the normal subnautica better for base building? Idk if it is less lagy

[drifting lava]

Well i managed to put down 50+ large rooms, some with stuff like water filtrations in them, down, and it doesnt really lag at all when youre not building, but bz has the speakers, and you can play songs, which is fun

[frank cairn]

In the regular subnautica?

[dusty oxide]

I think bz is better for base building

more base features

[frank cairn]

Oh wait i’m stupid i didnt read the entire comment :I

[dusty oxide]

bz doesn’t lag either, and there’s the control room which allows you to customize your base to your liking so… I say bz has better base building

also the seatruck dock.

[drifting lava]

Yeah bz has better base building, but only because of the new base elements. I wish those were in subnautica.

[cerulean zodiac]

Most of them are now in Subnautica

Not all though.

[pale idol]

started a thing. what are the best ways to decorate the exterior? also where are movable forklifts i can bring in there?(some person said they stole a forklift but i forgot if it was in sn or bz)

[fast quest]

I'm not sure if BZ has forklifts that you can use the propulsion cannon on, they might've used the prawn propulsion cannon on one of the forklifts you can find in wrecks in the Safe Shallows. You're pretty deep though, so that's gonna be a real pain if you go about getting it that way. The Decorations Mod has buildable forklifts, but I'm not sure if it's been updated for the Living Large update yet.

[sour idol]

What if
Someone made a base in the void with like 100 large rooms and a bunch of the walls inside and called it the Subnautica backrooms

[frank cairn]

https://youtu.be/AkEqBYkkQxA pt.2

[frank cairn]

wait a minute lol

[sour idol]

Yea yea

[pale idol]

I wish base lighting wasn’t so bright. I keep one room flooded just so the lighting is less intense (also more cozy this way imo).
I had to fix the leak in that room unfortunately and the lights returned to ““““norm””””. My eyes started hurting after like 5min. (I play on default settings and filmic color grading)

[drifting lava]

My base in my current world has the lights off but no flooding, and i actually kind od like it

[dusk flare]

You might be able to turn the room off via control room.

[pale idol]

I’m in regular sn( but thanks for the tip, I should use control room more.

[civic drift]

first real base on first real play through on freedom

[drifting lava]

Nice 👍

[pseudo rain]

Why have food plants?

[thick pawn]

You can move forklifts?

[civic drift]

decor

[drifting lava]

No

[fast quest]

You can't drive them, but I'm pretty sure you can use the prawn's propulsion cannon to take them places

[pale idol]

You can move a lot of stuff with propulsion canons. If you take that to your base and place it on foundation or any other part (base parts don’t despawn so stuff won’t fall through the map) you’ll have an interesting decoration.
Some dude said they moved a forklift, but it was probably a decoration mod.

[pseudo rain]

Forklift certified

[foggy yew]

The real reason you can’t move forklifts

You must be forklift certified

[steel nebula]

Wait. What location?

[thick pawn]

Theres a bz decoration mod?

[pseudo rain]

I believe beneath the island near the blood kelp chasm

[drifting lava]

I want to be forklift certified in subnautoca

[waxen timber]

Prawn suit with 2 propulsion cannon is nearly a forklift

[gloomy nova]

so im working on a dunes base, the location is circled

id send a photo of the actual base but its very, very unfinished

[civic drift]

yea that

[sour idol]

Made a restaurant

The building is a restaurant and the cyclops is a portable bar that travels to OTHER restaurants

I don’t have pics of the interior but it’s filled with bar tables and vending machines and fish tanks

Also the kitchen is just a room with alien containment filled with fish and a fabricator

[wispy pecan]

i really like the tall alein containment unit and its checkerboard of windows and wall planters

its the only way up to the top floor, where i have an observation room, bathroom, and bedroom/lounge

feels like its lacking a centerpiece, though im not sure what i could add

[short pewter]

Add an alien containment under the room

[cerulean zodiac]

Nice little starter base

I suggest adding windows to the 2 rooms, it'll make the base look cooler and give you a nice view from inside.

[paper meteor]

you don't have seamoth and you get base ?

[hot spade]

I do have seamoth

[paper meteor]

so you just didn't remove how to build it ?

@hot spade

@hot spade

how do i get it i forgot what it's called ?

[hot spade]

Vehicle upgrade console

[sour idol]

The purple looks nice

It’s a strange base shape but it looks cool

[wispy pecan]

there aint room, it's directly on top of the large rooms

[dusk flare]

We assumed your living quarters were on top of tank tower. If so, adding a containment under your living room would make the floor glass allowing look into the aquarium

[wispy pecan]

the tower is nothing but tanks, windows, and wall planters

hatches on each floor

not even any ladders

[frank cairn]

my starter base

oops forgot this picture

[drifting lava]

When you add a moonpool before a multipurpose room (ik it’s bz)

[frank cairn]

i made it tiny because reinforcement needs lead or lithium. And i didn't want to grind it. that's why it's tiny 😅

for now...

[drifting lava]

Wdym lead or lithium? Wouldnt it be one or both?

[frank cairn]

reinforcement wall = 3x titanium and 1x lithium meanwhile reinforcement platform = 2x titanium and 2x lead

[drifting lava]

Ohhh ok

[frank cairn]

i only placed one platform for later farming

wait can you place farms on the terrain?

[drifting lava]

Yes

[frank cairn]

[paper meteor]

Guys you have below zero ?

[worthy tusk]

why do you ask?

[paper meteor]

But i have subnautica

[worthy tusk]

I have both. Why are you bringing this up in this channel?

[ornate escarp]

Pretty cute base. It's like an apartment. Small and simple.

[shadow lake]

lithium and lead is easy to get

u just need to find a biome with alot of sandstone outcrops for lead and shale outcrops for lithium

[frank cairn]

Below zero 😅

[shadow lake]

ah

mb

[frank cairn]

Ye...

[shadow lake]

so bz doesnt have the same outcrops?

[frank cairn]

No...

[shadow lake]

ah okay my bad

[drifting lava]

Yeah it has like ten different kinds that ALL DROP TITANIUM for some reason

[pseudo rain]

They have a percentage of dropping the rare ore

[drifting lava]

I know but they all drop titanium and its stupid

[violet quail]

Progress on my Inactive Lava Zone base.

[pseudo rain]

I built the biggest base in below zero
You know the outpost tower 😅😅
I built up from the bottom to try to stop the top from moving
I’ll try to send pics
It’s on switch lol
It broke my game 😭

[violet quail]

Lol.

[pseudo rain]

I’ll be sure to send pics

[drifting lava]

I am excited to see it!

[pseudo rain]

I used so many platforms 💀💀💀

[drifting lava]

I built up ti the top of the aurora in normal subnautica

[pseudo rain]

It’s on creative because i’d never be able to build it in survival

XD

[drifting lava]

Creative not survival yeah

[pseudo rain]

I don’t have the time to collect so many materials like some people

It’s really sad how they removed developer mode for switch
I loved destroying the game

[drifting lava]

What you gotta do is build I pipes on top of each other, make a hatch that turns inti a bulkhead hatch, go outside, build more I pipes on top of the previous one, climb up woth ladders, repeat.

[pseudo rain]

Hmm cool

Imagine doing that in survival then standing on the aurora as it blows up

💀

[drifting lava]

That would be fun

[pseudo rain]

Ikr

[celest plover]

Sweet base so far

[violet quail]

Thanks.

[violet quail]

Here it is pretty much complete.

[balmy whale]

@violet quail man you’re fast you built it in 3 hours from 11 today and you finished it and In survival mode nice base 10/10

[violet quail]

Thanks, a lot of the resources can be found in the Lost River and the Inactive Lava zone right by my base, I chose this spot because it is abundant in Titanium, Copper, Nickel, Kyanite, Lead, Lithium, Urananite and Gold, only thing that cant be found within a 4 minute walk is silver.

[balmy whale]

Man that smart

https://tenor.com/view/big-brain-markiplier-gif-14835823

[violet quail]

I did have a few uh ohs with the building of it since I used so many parts that significantly weaken the base such as all the windows but it all worked out.

[balmy whale]

Nice gtg

[violet quail]

Aight cya.

[thorny plank]

i made my best

[drifting lava]

Nice base!

[thorny plank]

tysm

[pale idol]

base so far

[weary jasper]

i was gonna build a base in every biome but i got too lazy when i was still building the first base😞

[pale idol]

hat

[drifting lava]

HAT!!!!!!!!

[dusk flare]

Behold my newest invention - The Hatchery!

[pale idol]

What it does?

[dusk flare]

It puns.

[austere river]

Now make that entire base as tiny as possible

As a challenge

[waxen timber]

it hatches

in fact a lot of them

[pine harness]

I added a bottom floor under the three large rooms in the back, you can't even get the whole base in one pic lol

[drifting lava]

That is insanely impressive.

[terse phoenix]

what do you think of my base

this was all done in hardcore

[ionic crater]

hot 🔥

[drifting lava]

You are burning, also your base is fire

Also for some reason i always use red beacons for my base, idk why.

[terse phoenix]

Τhe cyclops you see is siting destroyed behind the large room.

I was leaving some stuff in my lockers when I saw it get destroyed

idk why

[drifting lava]

Maybe ||a warper or sea dragon||

[terse phoenix]

the base is in the active lava zone

so it was the dragon

[drifting lava]

Yeah probably

[terse phoenix]

for some reason they fireballed it

but I have a new one

[drifting lava]

Nice

[terse phoenix]

let me show you

you can see it behind the base

[pale idol]

i kept loosing my hardcore worlds because eventually i would get caught building outside my base and killed in one hit

[terse phoenix]

also

when I go fishing with the propulsion cannon I keep finding regular boomerangs in the lava zone instead of magmarangs

pls fix

[dusk flare]

My Below Zero base at 1k below zero meters deep.

Or actually, not a base, just truck unloading checkpoint

[pseudo rain]

Void?

[cerulean zodiac]

Looks like it is the void

I like the lights on the side of the cliff

IMO, placing those lights around any base is a good way to make it fit better into its surroundings

[dusk flare]

Void is the only place in below zero that lets you get below ~600m.
Lights show the path to truck dock.

I find it crazy how much larger subnautica is compared ti below zero, especially considering that bz is the sequel.

Subnautica’s max depth that is not in the void is somewhere around 1700 meters deep.

[dusk flare]

I do hope its bigger. Kind of getting bored after 'finishing' the BZ and finding out fun stuff to do

[terse phoenix]

Made some changes in creative. What do you think?

[wide swift]

I never thought about building a base in creative to get an idea of what my base should look like

[terse phoenix]

I just expanded it a bit

I added a moon pool

all the other stuff I did in hardcore\

[drifting lava]

I like the addition of the leviathan!

[pale idol]

🤍

i don't know how to trick the lighsticks to get installed on a foundation again.

[drifting lava]

People here really be making bases in Ohio

[terse phoenix]

can you send a screenshot with the part of the base that is in the back?

[pale idol]

when i finish it

[dusk flare]

Ventgarden is a good spot for a base, right?
||Joking, mod build override in effect||

[pale idol]

did you die?)

[dusk flare]

ofc, forgot to swap gear when going to make photo, but time travel fixed it and it never happened.

[worthy tusk]

that vent's gonna have some serious indigestion

[cerulean zodiac]

Titanium in its digestive system

I'm no biologist, but I don't think that'll be good for it

[drifting lava]

Get some oxygen bro i just realized

[pale idol]

why is it so satisfying to do

[drifting lava]

The one on the left looks exactly like the one ||destroyed area in jellyshroom||

Or maybe i’m remembering it wrong

[pale idol]

tall.

[drifting lava]

Me storing oculus for bioreactor except only 5

[jagged yew]

Yes 100% ethical location

[pale idol]

vegan

[drifting lava]

Now that is a question, would it be vegan to live inside an animal?

[manic condor]

guess so... until its not suffering or so? haha

[manic condor]

its rather a symbiosis... so its fine... no abusing the animal

[drifting lava]

I could never consider building a metal habitat inside a creature symbiosis except maybe parasitism lmao

[waxen timber]

Could be symbiosis

You could for example provide help if it had some sort of disease or parasites

[pseudo rain]

hows my base?

[drifting lava]

Beautiful!

Growing all the essentials except creepvine i see

[pseudo rain]

well yeah, creepvine is right behind me lol

Fun fact: with a set of lockers like this in a + tube, you can get 768 slots of space!

[austere river]

Oh god

[drifting lava]

I know that hack, it’s so useful

[pale idol]

perfect fit

[keen oracle]

rookie numbers

[pale idol]

✨

[astral slate]

This looks a bunch of lockers doing the kunga

[pseudo rain]

and its effective.

[astral slate]

Lol true

[dusk flare]

There are things you can't fight, acts of Nature. You see a leviathan coming, you have to get out of the way.
But when you are in a Jaeger, suddenly you can fight a leviathan.
You can win.

[uneven warren]

epic heavy metal theme song intensifies

[heady jacinth]

That movie was so goddamned good...

[drifting lava]

I am so hyped to make a prawn suit in bz but i also keep forgetting because i love base building lmao

[uneven warren]

I hope you get around to it soon because I LOVE the new prawn movement in BZ!

[drifting lava]

Is it better than normal subnautica

Either way i still need to get grappling arm

[dense geyser]

Doom music (the only thing they fear is you)

[uneven warren]

I'm talking about the theme song to Pacific Rim which is what Tomtores is referencing with his Prawn.

[dense geyser]

Ohhhh

[pine harness]

How

[pale idol]

Propulsion canon and propulsion prawn arms. We have always been able to have a pet amoeboid.

[waxen timber]

Good to know

[austere river]

Bfg 50k

[austere river]

Doom at the gate starts playing

[drifting lava]

I want to make a giant tower and see if i can mess up the ending cutscene with the ||neptune||

I probably can’t though

[austere river]

U can

I have

It’s cursed

[waxen timber]

||but Neptune stays stationary||

[drifting lava]

In the ending cutscene? No

At least your camera moves sooooo

[waxen timber]

Oh yeah I think it might rotate

[drifting lava]

But you ||take off and leave the planet||, the camera at least does something, or it is just a prerecorded scene

[waxen timber]

Look it up in 3rd person on yt, the way it works is kinda interesting

[drifting lava]

Ok

[pine harness]

Would have been so good for decorating bruh

Good to know tho

[pseudo rain]

lmao my birth state

[night trout]

Back to back will look nicer

[tropic saddle]

dude you are so good with decoring with these stuff
what mods do you have? maybe runtime helper? or decorations mod? because i dont quiet understand how in the world do you do that exactly
do you just spawn it?
the cargos look like they are from decor mod, but im not sure

[drifting lava]

I believe you can move all of that stuff with prop cannon but i may be mistaken about the barnacles

[tropic saddle]

Yes, you actually cant move them like that
And i doubt that he would move all that all the way from the surface, to lost river, to ILZ and then to ALZ

That would be like god level of dedication

I mean, stuff like ameboid - ok. You can literally just spawn it
A table without anything on it - okay, that could be just decor mod
But a loot chest? Are you serious?
He either spawned it with debug tools or he really just did bring it all the way here

[drifting lava]

I have seen people with that level of dedication here in #🏠awesome-bases

[drifting lava]

Also wdym a “loot chest”?

[tropic saddle]

those containers

[drifting lava]

You can pick those up with prop cannon i think

You probably can at least

[tropic saddle]

yes, you can
but they are too slow and you need to bring them right from the surface
at least there are not really much places with those close to at least LR's entrance

[drifting lava]

There is a way to bring anything to any depth, but it requires a ton of dedication.

[tropic saddle]

yep, thats what im saying

[drifting lava]

Well there is one strategy that allows you to bring anything to any depth, but it is painful to set up

[tropic saddle]

there are 2 ways that i could think of
1 - he literally did just bring it here with propulsion cannon
2 - he used debug tools to spawn it

[drifting lava]

Yes

And if they used prop cannon, they may have had to use that strategy, but for their sanity i hope they didnt

[pale idol]

✨

[pale idol]

vanila

[pale idol]

it's easier than u think

[tropic saddle]

100% vanilla? oh my god

[pale idol]

i brought more stuff

thought it looks neat

[drifting lava]

It does!

[pale idol]

there are A LOT of things that can be moved

[drifting lava]

So are you using the growbed/brain coral strats?

[pale idol]

what is that?

[drifting lava]

Well how did you get the stuff down there?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

Prawn prop arm?

How could i forget 😂

[pale idol]

i'm using a prawn with 2 prop arms lol

[drifting lava]

Ah

[pale idol]

unfortunately, failed to steal this

big aquarium has a stealable coral tube, gona take it next time

[drifting lava]

Rhe growbed/brain coral strat is when you place exterior growbeds with brain coral at deep depths (they produce o2 refilling bubbles), and continuing the chain until you reach ykur destination

[pale idol]

i live on a mountain corridor path - ||it's a straight-forward shortcut from surface to 1700m||, so transporting things is very easy

[tropic saddle]

(a bit of spoilers) ||did you know that in one of precursor's stashes you can actually move things? its in the one that is in lost river, the one that you need an orange tablet for||

and now i want to do similar thing to the one you are doing right now
absolutely no mods, just prop cannon and maybe cheats

[pale idol]

btw loot chests are weird - some of them are normal, others act like they are extremely heavy and some don't want to move, but if they are empty - they always move

[tropic saddle]

yeah, exactly
that is why im suprised
its pretty easy to move stuff with prop cannon, especially with the prawn suit
but chests are just too weird and hard to carry around sometimes
