🏠awesome-bases

[tropic saddle]

but the neat part is that you can open them and place any item in them
its a shame that those items actually fall when you unload the ground

also, are StarshipCargoCrate, StarshipCircuitBox and StarshipMonitor still unlockable in 2.0? i've seen that they've removed them from the builder tool in bz, but i think i havent tested them in living large

[tropic saddle]

my first attempt!
so far so good

im planning to create a base in every biome

[cerulean zodiac]

Cosy little base you've got there

[tropic saddle]

Thanks!

I really like to create small bases and small rooms because they are pretty easy to decorate imo

[dense geyser]

why do you have a capsule on display

[tropic saddle]

i had one nearby, so why not?
it may also be used as something else

[dense geyser]

ok.....

[pale idol]

i found a capsule to bring home but i dropped it and it fell through the floor(

[dense geyser]

Drymanchik this is your name in english

[tropic saddle]

dreamanchik, almost

[tropic saddle]

NOOOOOOOO

[pale idol]

but. i learned that you can move alcohol bottles!!!!

[tropic saddle]

wait, you can?
oh my god

[pale idol]

no idea how to make one stand

[tropic saddle]

you cant really place them anywhere
they will fall through props and a bottle of alcohol in the water is just strange
but maybe you can do something with them

[pale idol]

i'm turning my moonpool into a trash garage

[tropic saddle]

ooh, the moonpool
thats a great idea, but the bad part is those props still use world's light

[lofty fable]

On this BZ playthrough, I'm spending more time creating bases and tbh I'd live in here for an underwater vacation home

[ornate escarp]

Hey, Dream! I love your base. I hope you don't mind me giving you an English nickname.

[pine harness]

Very cozy

[rain zephyr]

I dunno if this qualifies as awesome but it's a big mountain tower base

With my best friend Davey

[tropic saddle]

Thank you!
Its nice to see you being an admin here

[drifting lava]

Too many water filtration, how do you keep them all running?

[pale idol]

one nuclear reactor can barely support them all, so 2 nuclear reactors?

[magic dagger]

woah u have a reaper outside ur base thats impressive

[rain zephyr]

2 nukes and 2 bio

[frank cairn]

NUKES?

[pseudo rain]

Nuclear reactors

[nocturne void]

what do you guys think about my void base/observatory?

[stiff yarrow]

Pretty cool

Send us some pics of the ghosties

[wide kayak]

all bases are awesome

[pine harness]

Not all of them

I don't like bases where it's just stacks of rooms

[pine harness]

But this one is good bcs it's unique

I really like it

[lime lake]

And the bases that look really cool but then are just completely empty and not finished on the inside

massive but not decorated

[pine harness]

I have a massive base and finished decorating inside

Decorating took 10 large lockers of titaniun and 5 lockers of copper, gold, silver, glass and whatnot

Decorating is resource heavy

[lime lake]

Gonna hop on subnautica for a bit now and add more to my mushroom base

nowhere near done yet

[dawn hawk]

Any other storage or food/water solutions?

[pseudo rain]

stuff as much wall lockers in your cyclops, bulbo trees in a cyclops and base for ez food and water

[pseudo rain]

Then you get attacked and and your cyclops gets destroyed and you lose everything

[lime lake]

Imma be dead real here. I played through the entirety of subnautica it took me around 25 hours and I never ever had a vehicle destroyed. Not once idek what the animation looks like. Yes I did also encounter many leviathans

[pale idol]

i can't stop tinkering with this spot.

[wild vessel]

How the hecc did you obtain those unobtainable flora

[pale idol]

prop canon.
bottom text.

[wild vessel]

oh

I didnt know you could prop cannon those skewer plants

[drifting lava]

The unscannable ones yeah

[pale idol]

i need purple pine cone.

[dense geyser]

Pine cone

[drifting lava]

Pine cone

[pseudo rain]

I've got almost 3 days of Subnautica on my game and i completed it, never had any vehicle destroyed because i didn't risk it

[robust stirrup]

Same, first playthough, no deaths/vehicle losses. Took me around 50 hours I believe.

[jagged yew]

It just explodes in place. If its a cyclops its wreckage will fall to the seabed, allowing you to swim inside and access whatever items you put in there

Ive never had it happen in survival. Only when I was testing in creative

[robust stirrup]

You can still access vehicle modules, lockers, deconstruct habitat builder items (i.e. fabricator, medkit fabricator, modification station.) Only things destroyed with the cyclops death are docked vehicles.

[jagged yew]

Was always very cautious with the cyclops and stuff. Used the shields and the low speed setting a lot in the late game

[robust stirrup]

#subnautica-chat ⬅️ We should go here if we're going to continue.

[steel nebula]

I died lots, lost my seamoth once (R.I.P Scout. You will be missed) and it took me around 75 h i think.

[dense geyser]

Oof

[pine harness]

A slow and paranoid playthrough is always the best one

Couldn't have done it any better

[short pewter]

I have a play through with 8 days in it, I just barely cured disease

[pine harness]

That's a solid playthrough, as long as u didn't ask any questions or searched up locations

That's where I messed up

[dense geyser]

Practice

[pastel stratus]

Did the Ghost will not break the base ? 🤔 (I'm New)

[pale idol]

creatures don't damage bases. but certain projectiles can somehow clip in through and kill fish in your tank(

[drifting lava]

Or power off your base’s lights permanently if it’s a small fish shot at your base with a prop cannon

[pale idol]

my babies.

game was intended to be played this way.

[drifting lava]

Personally, my favorite animal to keep as a pet is Glow Whales, but for normal subnautica i like Stalkers.

[cerulean zodiac]

Do they bite?

[dusk flare]

wait wait wait, did you somehow bring the alien mechanized spiders to your base? are they moving?

[pale idol]

They crawl on everything. I took them through temporary moon pool (they can totally escape through it btw)

[pale idol]

A little, didn’t bit me once yet. They aren’t as aggressive as cave crawlers, they just vibe +in reinforced suit they do almost no damage

[drifting lava]

No i dont think so

Also why ask in #🏠awesome-bases

[uneven warren]

Yeah please ask in the proper channel 🙂

[dusk flare]

"Glass is perfectly valid building material at this depth"
[below zero]

[craggy drift]

yes

[worthy tusk]

Wait, how'd you get that deep in bz?

[dusk flare]

Stubborness.
Built off the edge by ventgarden. Found a recess in the vertical wall where I could build while staying outside lobsetr aggro range. kept going deeper and deeper until this. Now working around the wall to get into non-aggro zone with no bottom, so I can build carefree downwards

[worthy tusk]

interesting.

[dusk flare]

Also: Please send me 100 lockers of titanium, I'm a bit short

[pine harness]

Wild bro, cant believe u transported those thinfs

[pale idol]

he has drinking problems

[pine harness]

Wait that's a mod

SCAM

[pale idol]

no.

wait there is a mod for vertical lockers but i don't know how to install mod loader💀

[pale idol]

i must defend my honour. Tutorial on how to get cheap booze in your base in subnautica:

step 1: obtain booze from booze location (examle: aurora cafeteria), use prawn suit propulsion arms to transport it to your base (exit prawn suit, grab booze with regular propulsion cannon).

[pine harness]

No way

Holy crap bro

You humbled me in terms of base buildings

[pale idol]

step 2: use your temporary moonpool to get the booze on board (you can't grab things again once inside so DON'T let go)

step 3: align the booze using walls

[pine harness]

Your telling me transported that single bottle from the aurora to the lava zone?

[pale idol]

step 4: carefully and slowly place the booze

step 5: take a picture

[pine harness]

Cool

Very cool

[pale idol]

i transport 2 objects at a time. i live on the mountain corridor shortcut - it's a straight-forward op path from surface to PCF

[pale idol]

what to do with the glowing round things (the ones that aren't barnacles)? their collision box is huge and circular - they roll around and appear floating, don't quite fit in(
i would throw them away but they are so precious(((((

[pine harness]

Eat them

[tropic saddle]

Also, how did you get your base to be without light? Power shortage?

[tropic saddle]

Try to just place them on flat surfaces, like foundations or roofs

[tropic saddle]

Oh, its actually pretty easy
You just download bepinex from nexus, put everything from the zip into your subnautica folder and then just launch the game to generate a folder in your bepinex folder named plugins
In it you put all the mods
But keep in mind that not all mods work with the living large update. A good indicator of mod being exactly for 2.0 is that it doesnt have a file named mod.json

[tropic saddle]

wait, but how did you get the locker into the moonpool? i dont know why but i cant get it through it
oh, and also how did you placed the door so perfectly?

wait, no, i did get it
you just need to run around the moonpool, which is a bit strange, but ok

[pale idol]

i have an isolated leak in my base. the lights are 'off' because it's technically flooded

[tropic saddle]

shouldnt the leak flood your base?

[pale idol]

it's isolated between 2 bulkhead doors. i damaged the compartment by throwing things at it and closed the doors. if i open them - the water will fill the rest of the base.

intended light adjustment mechanic.

[tropic saddle]

hm, smart

[drifting lava]

Let the plush boi have the booze, hand him a bottle

[pale idol]

it's forever stuck unless i deconstruct the whole observatory or my robot spider knocks it over

[tropic saddle]

you can also just do a bug where you would swim in a base
your propulsion cannon only works if the game thinks that you are not in the base

[tired drift]

da bedroom is i mean its not bad and not good

[celest plover]

Modded save I'm guessing considering the dragonball poster

And the colored fabricators

But overall its nice tho

[drifting lava]

That was what gave it away for you?

[celest plover]

Well its been a while since I last touched subnautica

[tired drift]

fair

[drifting lava]

Fair

[celest plover]

But still the setup of the base is nice imo

Well I mean bedroom but still

[dense geyser]

Noice

[jade forge]

base no like water

and neither does planet not modded

[pliant spade]

wait how do you have
large rooms in subnautica

[uneven warren]

Latest update a couple months ago. Where have you been lol

[silent slate]

hi

[pliant spade]

not on og subnautica apparently

[uneven warren]

Yes og Subnautica. #announcements message

[dawn hawk]

What are the best building tricks for efficiency, i.e sideward lockers for more storage

[ornate escarp]

Some people utilize more than one Fabricator at a time so they can craft things in bulk much faster.

[uneven warren]

You can fit more plants in the same area using multiple plant pots instead of a grow bed.

[heady jacinth]

Just aesthetically I like pots for trees and beds for lots of small plants...

[dense geyser]

My base 1/10

It’s small

[dusk flare]

work in progress.
Looks legit, yes?

[dense geyser]

Yea

[drifting lava]

Looks great!

[pine harness]

Nice health

[drifting lava]

Eat a medpack quickly

[vital dawn]

I like to download mods and build bases so I made this.

[spice sail]

Sure

[final sail]

8/10

[dense geyser]

Yay

[final sail]

10/10 if it has a bioreactor

[dense geyser]

Has nuclear

And cuddle fish

All 5

[final sail]

11/10

Couse of the cuddle fish

[final sail]

Does it have a scanning room?

With hud chip

[dense geyser]

I have one at the blood kelp by my base and yes a hud chip

[final sail]

Nice

[thick pawn]

Welcome to the Home Depo

We got, explosive crates
Machine hand
Very small cats
doofensmurf in penquin form

[worthy tusk]

believe it or not, it's spelled depot

[thick pawn]

This is truly heart broken

[pliant spade]

truly an unfortunate moment

[drifting lava]

Truly one of the moments of all time

[dusk flare]

"Dry Feet" base.
2 large rooms, 2 multi rooms, scanner and moonpool.
Powerered by solar, having quite power shortages 😕

[worthy tusk]

woa nice

[dusk flare]

woa 'Ice"?

[worthy tusk]

[dusk flare]

I may have to rework the solar. Or should I just slap an nuke reactor in?

[drifting lava]

Put in more solar panels. You should be fine on power with about 25. Or you could just, yknow, use a few bioreactors

[dusk flare]

will 7 water filtering machines be a problem here?

[worthy tusk]

perhaps

[drifting lava]

Yes. Also you just need 1 or 2 to give you a steady supply of water.

[dusk flare]

that would be true, if the base was anywhere nearby water

unless ice counts

[dusk flare]

yikes, it seems a nuclear generator cant keep up with 7 water filters at all

[drifting lava]

Hm fair

[pseudo rain]

this looks wild nice job

[night trout]

eats plastics and other chemicals

Logical healing 👍

[static trench]

be careful guys

[pale idol]

This happened to me.

[wild vessel]

Lmao thats like the bulkhead glitch but glitchier

Dw if you use a hatch youll return back to swimming mode

[pseudo rain]

Base in Tree spires
4x Large rooms
1x Moonpool
1xSeatruck bay

[pseudo rain]

Oops I just said seamoth bay lol

its gonna be seatruck bay

[merry rapids]

my lr base

[final sail]

Nice

What’s the power source?

[heady jacinth]

So, once you have the truck dock, what do you need a moonpool for? Don't you just leave the Prawn docked to the back of the truck?

[merry rapids]

a weird combo of nuclear, thermal, and bio

[final sail]

If it works it works

[astral slate]

Ye but it doesn’t charge

So u charge through moonpool

[pseudo rain]

Charging,Customizing the Prawn suit

putting on modules and etc

[pale idol]

started a tree house

we all float down there.

below zero terrain collision is the collisionest collision to have ever collisioned

[pseudo rain]

I’m thinking about making a whole town

I wanna have a whole neighborhood of houses then a bunch of big buildings like hotels and what not

[night trout]

yeah happened to me before lol

[static trench]

rip

[bold karma]

My small test in LR

[pale idol]

based location. very underrated lr biome

[bold karma]

true

[drifting lava]

Yeah lr is very underrated in terms of aesthetics.

[austere river]

Correct

[balmy whale]

Nice base out of this world literally

[inland gazelle]

How is your base integrity positive with that many windows?

[uneven warren]

Look at the bottom level.

And you can see others in the large room in the previous pic.

[balmy whale]

What does lr mean

[pseudo rain]

Lost river

[balmy whale]

Oh

[pseudo rain]

How did u color your base

[bold karma]

True Base Colorizer mod by AlHazrad111

[bold karma]

Current integrity is higher than 100. I always reinforce the i-connection walls and some large rooms

[inland gazelle]

Wow okay

[pseudo rain]

Mine has 80 i think and is half the size of yours

[keen oracle]

personally I'm not a huge fan of the green which is why I'm normally inclined to build in the Tree Cove if I do base in the LR

[drifting lava]

Fair

[keen oracle]

which is weird cause normally I love green but just the shade and the way it's used in the LR just feels kinda off to me

it doesn't feel lush, it's almost sickly if you get what I mean

probably the brine that creates that effect

[drifting lava]

The brine is my favorite part tbh

[dense geyser]

Now build it in survival

[bold karma]

I built it in survival ^^ i have never played any other mode

[pale idol]

is there a way to organically add another multipurpose room?

or build a tube to the surface

[fast quest]

You could move the observatory and look into adding a room somewhere off of that

[still wind]

this is my void base @drowsy dew

[drowsy dew]

Niiice

Love the zig zag😂

[short pewter]

Nah I only like the zigs the zags aren’t for me

[drowsy dew]

Are you sure? That second zag looks pretty awesome 😂

[short pewter]

I mean if you like the zags go for it but they just aren’t to my taste
But I must agree the second zag is one of the better ones that I’ve seen

[opal vine]

looks good

but there is not much interior

[main shale]

My greenhouse in the arctic spires!

[drifting lava]

Let the ice worm in, hes hungry

[pale idol]

for real. never saw anyone built near worms, pretty rare and cool

[pale idol]

this pic is pog

[drifting lava]

See? He just wanted a snack!

[main shale]

i think i bugged the game when i built it bc the ice worms werent spawning

they do now-

[main shale]

he aint getting my fevered peppers

[drifting lava]

I am guessing you use salads as your food source

[main shale]

thats what i mainly have in my seatruck yes

but i actually kinda just eat fruit i bring home from my greenhouse

mainly prestons delights

thx!

[drifting lava]

Salads are really good because they’re literally better than nutrient blocks and you could not make anything near as good in classic subnautifa

[pale idol]

not really but kinda.

[main shale]

i misunderstood that

i'd say so tho

but in the dunes you dont get jumped as much my giant worms that are almost impossible to avoid

[uneven warren]

u lost m8

[drifting lava]

Yes

I thought you were talking about bz my bad

[main shale]

about 1700

well i think it takes around maybe 5 mins?

i never counted

[uneven warren]

Guys please use #subnautica-chat this has devolved away from base discussion

[main shale]

yeah just realized

[pseudo rain]

Good vibes with my bois

[pale idol]

like because monke

[thick pawn]

In Dune the worm always come to get you (if you make noise)

[outer chasm]

work area within the staff layer

[thick pawn]

Is that in bz or base game how did you get those?

[pseudo rain]

Seems like regular, they are props you can pickup in the aurora and other wrecks

[outer chasm]

Base game, get what?

[thick pawn]

base game as in the regular subnautica and those science kits thing

[still wind]

i just love having leviathans outside my window

[outer chasm]

You can find those in the aurora

[pseudo rain]

And in other wrecks too

[main shale]

My main base of operations

[pseudo rain]

New Void base Fully completed

Next Base will be On Fabricator caverns

[drifting lava]

So that’s what a void chel looks like.

[pseudo rain]

Its 2.5x times bigger then a normal chelicerate

[pseudo rain]

And what is the size difference between the ghosts

[pseudo rain]

void cheli is bigger

but ghost is longer

I got that but between the juvenile ghost and the adult ghost

[drifting lava]

And also a zombie apparently

[pale idol]

i'd say they are moulting

[drifting lava]

I guess

But always molting?

[pale idol]

well, we don't observe them 24/7 and even if we did - why make creatures that are only here to keep u in borders so detailed?

zombies=wack
moulting shrimp=cool

[drifting lava]

Zombies can be a little bit wacky

[wild vessel]

Arent they just a rare type of chelicerate

[pale idol]

that what pda says. but isn't it stupid? - a huge predator (who doesn't filter microorganisms like ghosts do) that lives in thermal areas just goes to cold empty void

also there are like 3 normal chelicerates and 3 void ones - 50/50, not rare

[wild vessel]

There could be a/several mutation(s) in their genes wich makes them able to somehow filter microorganisms and withstand abyssal environments

But yea they arent rare like at all

[pale idol]

irl animals must physically have filter apparatus instead of just huge teeth for large prey

[pseudo rain]

Fabricator caverns base

Unfinished Will be fully completed later

Extra:

That's creative right?

Nah

I use f6

you cannot see mostly things

Ok

also the shadow attacked after

but I killed him easily

Maybe next time using freecam will be better

to get better wiev

also not attacked by shadow leviathan

[pseudo rain]

I think its an zombie too

Cuz theres always 3 of them

They respawn everytime

I think thats its a mutation with infection

that evolves Default Cheli to a zombie variation

Mutation makes the cheli stronger,bigger and Infected

Also the Void cheli Eats microorganisms

Not good creatures to eat on void

Or the mutation makes them Satiated forever

[dusk flare]

They just eat whatever wanders off into depths. Including you.
Most often you.

[pseudo rain]

Theres nothing really wanders into deep

They mostly eat microorganisms

[pale idol]

huge zombies haunting void for eternity can't exist. you can't eat micro organisms without specialised mouth because u simply can't catch enough to sustain yourself. because thermodynamics law or whatever.
let's stop flooding base channel

[pale idol]

took screens with max FOV

[sturdy cypress]

That may be the legal max, but, you can go up to 179 (with unreleased extended fov mod)

I’m curious what that would look like at mega fov

Either way is amazing

[pseudo rain]

Maybe that is how the ghosts see the world

[terse phoenix]

finished one of my bases

[drifting lava]

Beautiful!

[robust stirrup]

How did you manage to install a moonpool on land? Last I checked, they’re only buildable in water.

I got around it with the small “lake” in Glacial Basin.

[pseudo rain]

Maybe because it's attached to a room

[robust stirrup]

I’m pretty sure I couldn’t build a moonpool anywhere above water, regardless of the base’s other rooms or available space.

I’ll have to check that out again.

[uneven warren]

You can't. It's modded.

The number of quickslots didn't give it away? Lol

[pseudo rain]

Caught in 4k

[pseudo rain]

But in base Subnautica u can right? At least I'm pretty sure I did once, non modded

[pale idol]

snow babies transported to base in vanilla bz. (they are stuck, they'd probably swim back to glacial basin)

[uneven warren]

You used to! I actually confirmed it myself yesterday that as of the 2.0 update we can no longer build moonpools above the water.

I'm really annoyed about it because I loved building on the mountain island beach, which isn't nearly as appealing anymore.

[still wind]

my main save still has a moonpool above the water on the mountain island, havent seen if it works but ill find out. also i noticed they patched the moonpool dupe too, now i have to actually go out get more salvage lol.

[waxen timber]

Monopol dupe?

[still wind]

yeah it was a dupe for base parts but you cant do it anymore

[waxen timber]

What about the Markiplier turning quartz into titanium?

[pseudo rain]

Without context this sounds like markiplier is jesus

[waxen timber]

Basically, except more like turning wine into water (which would probably be done somewhat easily)

[steel nebula]

Basically just heat it up and boil away the alcohol.

[waxen timber]

Ye

[pale idol]

kitchen.

[final sail]

I’ll have a large espresso please

[dusk flare]

Mods obv. There is one that disables build restrictions. The moonpool works, picks the prawn as it should.
I use the override scarcely for thinks that "should" work realistically, like this moonpool, or attaching foundations to ground.

[robust stirrup]

Cool

[pseudo rain]

https://tenor.com/view/reverse-uno-meme-oof-big-gif-20438443

heheehee my base now

[lime lake]

Lol I'm back on subnautica now bc no joke I just deleted my 100% save on this game I love

Lowkey mad so I need a nice game to calm me down and focus on

And by this game I mean some other irrelevant gamr

Game*

[jagged yew]

How tf do you 100% subnautica?

There isnt any real definitive completion status other than beating the game

Like saying you can 100% minecraft.

[pallid gyro]

my guess would be getting all blueprints and PDA logs

[jagged yew]

Theres never a way to know you have them all unless you cross reference a wiki

[pallid gyro]

Its the only thing I can think of

[dusk flare]

define it as having mined every non renevable resource and you can sleep peacefully, knowing its not achievable

[tardy hedge]

I had a base in the same area

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/504973599048859654/1010722163239698512/unknown.png

[worthy tusk]

Who hasn't had a base in the tree cove?

[pseudo rain]

Me :D build bases for practical use

[opal vine]

yeah

there is no practical reason to have more than one base in subnautica

bcs of cyclops

[waxen timber]

Charging Cyclops and upgrade station?

[wild vessel]

There is some

First of all, if you have a base in every biome youre basically gauranteed to have a place you can use every ~500m or less

Second of all, some of the bases could be really useful stations used for mining resources (like an LZ base or an LR base), scanning stuff, as hubs, etc

Third of all, you can make your bases as big as you want, as much as you want

(Unlike cyclops wich cost alot to fabricate and you cant be in more than 2 at once)

Theres some of the practical reasons i can think of to have more than 1 base but idk there could be more

[lime lake]

Bro I never said that

I did that for an entirely separate game

Read

I'm annoyed that all that work for that game is lost so now im back here to play something different

Its simple

If I had to guess I have currently 80% subnautica done the main story and built alot of bases cba to get every single thing

The game I lost I'm gonna restart it none of you would know it

[jagged yew]

I thought you meant subnautica by “this game I love”

I lost my 100% save on lego starwars TCS. Grinded to hell for it.

[dusk flare]

Why not backing up the saves? I keep mine in SVN repo, so I can even revert last couple changes if something got f* up.

[pastel stratus]

Just want to know, there's no problem in making a floating base ? 😂

[ornate escarp]

No...?

[ornate escarp]

Probably with titanium.

[lime lake]

Nah its chill bro dont sweat

I do also love this game tho

[robust stirrup]

There’s a lot of resources in the Lost River and Tree Cove (I assume that’s what you meant), and you can bring down more, as well as seeds and stuff with your cyclops if you want to make a huge base.

If I remember, there’s pretty much everything you need for a base down there, there’s even Acid Mushrooms and Table Coral.

Diamonds might be a little scarce, but I doubt you need a ton of those.

[pseudo rain]

Man your profile picture has me thinking the skies belong to me or sum

and that there's nowhere to run or hide

[jagged yew]

A creative mode project ive been working on. Basically the idea is that, at some point after ryley left the planet, it was turned into a tourist attraction. This is the first of multiple resort locations im going to build around the map. Being on the surface, its the first one you go you when you arrive on the planet.

The cyclops images are of a “sea bus” which is essentially a cyclops outfitted to carry people between the different locations around the map.

[lime lake]

Sick

[jagged yew]

Planning on doing sea treaders, grand reef, mushroom zone, grassy plateau, and cove tree too.

[lime lake]

cool

Still working on my mushroom base done the sea trader one

Trea*

[heady jacinth]

I am so unhappy that the hole in the floating island is slightly too small to surface a Cyclops in. I wanted to build a base in that hole, above water, and then roof over it with foundation pads, then fill the pads in with grow beds, camo with trees and bushes...

[jagged yew]

Thats actually a sick idea. Maybe you could do it in the little cove on the side?

[heady jacinth]

You could, or have the Cyclops just beneath the surface... but I wanted to use the island itself as a moon pool.

I did manage something kind of cool by way of a Cyclops dock base tho...

[lucid phoenix]

Bro I can easily turn the Cyclops into a whole base

But I haven’t 😭

[tardy hedge]

Wdym I built like anything else in the game lol

[lime lake]

Yo guys kinda weird thing just happened

So I'm just swimming around the sea treaders path farming some lithium as usual and I swim up to my parked seamoth which is at about 100m deep.

||and I just see the sea emperor leviathan from the main story of the game lol why is she there it was so strange to see I've taken a few screenshots if u need proof||

it was massive

[worthy tusk]

||have you already hatched the baby emperors||?

[lime lake]

yuppo

Did that months ago

[worthy tusk]

that's one of them

[lime lake]

||oh wow cool is that them all grown up then||

[astral slate]

Ye

[cerulean zodiac]

All 5 of them can be found in different spots throughout the map

[cerulean zodiac]

1: Crag Field
2: Dunes
3: Grand Reef (Definitely the one you found.)
4: Mountains
5: Northern Bloodkelp

[terse sequoia]

not me launching the same time capsule over and over again

[pseudo rain]

It's not much but I like it

And sorry for not a very good photo

[dusk flare]

use screenshot ability, not a phone

[pseudo rain]

would if I knew how to do that

[keen oracle]

F12 if you're on Steam

or if you have a Windows computer you can also use Printscreen, although the other way is easier to take quick screenshots (you just have to know where to find them)

[tardy hedge]

Preciate it

[pseudo rain]

It's on Xbox I know go ahead feel bad for me I'm experiencing all the performances that you can imagine but it's not bad could be worse

[pastel stratus]

do you need to scan leviathan to search them with scanner room ?

[pseudo rain]

No you don't

[pseudo rain]

Xbox app on your phone, you can sync photos from your Xbox to it.

[lime lake]

thanks gonna try and find the other 4

I'll screenshot all 5 of them and put them in a base

Like an observation base

[plucky lichen]

OMG that's so cool

[drifting lava]

<@&85343211593166848> can people show bases with mods here?

[rose flume]

Yeah it's fine. It's not for a competition or whatever. Others have done it before too 🙂

[fringe citrus]

This looks so good bruh

How do you get them in there?

[lime lake]

Apparently you can put the blood kelp zone style of white kelp in a plant bed to farm but idk how you would do that

I've stabbed them with my knife and I'm getting nothing

[pale idol]

the red capsule is the seed

[dusk flare]

Step 1: Find the fishy patrol area.
Step 2: Build a box with one wall open while said fishy ties to eat you.
Step 3: Stand in the opening to lure the fishy. The bait is you
Step 4: Quickly barricade the entrance with corridor module
Step 5 [optional]: Unleash a barrage of poison rockets on the prisoner.

[hazy bone]

i am not the best to take video

[drifting lava]

Awesome base!

[hazy bone]

thanks

[ornate escarp]

Very epic! I love the purple and black exterior! Those are two colors that mix surprisingly well!

[final sail]

Nice

[hazy bone]

2 of my favorite color :D

[slender locust]

Can the box be bigger then yours and does fishy every escape?

[lime lake]

sick base

Purple and black are the best colours imo

[drifting lava]

The Reaper Observatory at my base in the dunes

Hardcore world btw

[dusk flare]

can be bigger. the collision box of shadow centipede is around 3 corridors wide and 3 corridors tall. As long as bars have max 2 corridors free space between them, it cannot go through. I did not have any of them escape yet. Except the void fishies, they despawn when you get far

[slender locust]

ok ty

[lime lake]

Sick

[drifting lava]

I just lost it a minute ago

Hardcore world :(

[lime lake]

oh

Wow sorry to hear

I once lost a hardcore minecraft world

stuff like that sucks

[drifting lava]

That’s probably worse than losing a subnautoca hardcore

[lime lake]

ye

[inner quarry]

They don’t attack bases?

[drifting lava]

Nothing can break a base

Except you and stuff shot from a prop cannon

[inner quarry]

Oh

[pseudo rain]

They attack bases if you're inside and close enough

[rotund night]

i really like this base

[pastel stratus]

we can color the base...?

[hazy bone]

Mods were used :3

[pastel stratus]

ok i thought i known really nothing about the game 👍

[hazy bone]

I just like mods

[pale idol]

in below zero you can by using control room

[drifting lava]

But not the inside except with mods

[pulsar glade]

My degasi sea base I made in the grand reef 😄

My view

[gilded sierra]

wait how'd you make the roof white? control room?

[tired drift]

mods my lad

[gilded sierra]

damn the blue roof is the one thing i hate about the large room :(

[tired drift]

i mean its nothin big

[lime lake]

progress on the lost river base is being made

[uneven warren]

Because that skull is 🔥

[lime lake]

oh yeah I hadn't considered that

I'll move it later

[hazy bone]

where the big room

tho nice base

[hazy bone]

far from finish but here 1 room i made with also the outside (Modded Creative Subnautica)

[lime lake]

Wym my guy

I confuzzled

[keen oracle]

the green lockers look...interesting

[hazy bone]

same base it massive (REMEMBER) I am in Creative

[ornate escarp]

Oh wow! I like that glow!

[astral slate]

Bro that’s insane ngl

[hazy bone]

it look cool tbh :P

[robust stirrup]

Can I have a teeth in-base shot? Looks sick!

[lime lake]

sure

[tropic saddle]

Oh my god, what are those shaders?

[lime lake]

I'll send it when I get home

Thanks

[pastel stratus]

where should i go to find prawn drill arm ? i've already go to underwater islands (safe is possible)

[scenic jewel]

Grand reef

[pastel stratus]

there's a wreck ?

[scenic jewel]

Yeah

That’s where I got mine

[pastel stratus]

ok thx

[hazy bone]

My own

[pastel stratus]

oh srry didn't saw i was in #🏠awesome-bases

[hazy bone]

💀

[drifting lava]

I wish i had that in a normal survival world

[robust stirrup]

Initiate the grind…

[hazy bone]

i am not even close to have finish

[slender locust]

would this kind of base work?|| I am new to subnautica and i thought the shadow leviathan was cool and wanted a base where i can see the leviathan but I came to realize that the leviathan might attack me or something so- ||

[pulsar glade]

||I’d go into creative to do that lmao||

Also it’s quite deep down so first your gonna have to get there

[slender locust]

ive already been here and now i just wanted to make a huge base that i want

[pulsar glade]

Yeah I’d go in creative

[slender locust]

but still do they attack the base

or

[pulsar glade]

Nothing can damage you or your vehicles

[slender locust]

no when im in survival

would leviathans attack bases

[pulsar glade]

Not sure , I’m kinda new as well, never played below zero on the first subnautica . Had no idea that weird lizard existed till now lol

Have to ask some who’s played below zero

[slender locust]

oh-

well its fine ty

[pulsar glade]

Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful

[slender locust]

its fine ty

[hazy bone]

🤔

i feel like something missing

[astral slate]

Glass domes?

[hazy bone]

no

i feel like it very repetitif

[regal owl]

Soooo... I've been building a massive Subnautica base in survival, but have had to make bases that were basically temporary scanner rooms to get enough materials. I have indeed had a reaper damage my base! However, it wasn't going after my base, but a PRAWN hiding in the supports. It seems like bases themselves don't aggro leviathans.

(My main base is in the Lost River where there's a juvi ghost, and it has yet to damage my base or attack it.)

[slender locust]

oh ok tysm!

[regal owl]

Gladly! Just keep in mind that damage to your base will be inside, which means that if you've built lockers, beds, and other things, you might have to remove them to find the damage. Bulkhead doors are your friend in trying to pinpoint damage, ESPECIALLY if your base is big.

[keen oracle]

I wouldn't xD

[dusk flare]

BZ has control room, which displays damage with spots on mini map.

[regal owl]

Niiiice, wish that was in PS4 Subnautica. 😭

[patent zinc]

Any growbeds or aquariums?

[hidden seal]

I want to do a cool base but i have problems with the freaking Titanium

I need much Titanium bruh

[hidden seal]

my base in progress

[drifting lava]

Nice!

[hidden seal]

i will show the interior of the base

first zone

science zone

office room

bedroom

prawn and seamoth room

and the last one

but not the worst

bio zone

[astral slate]

Can u pls tell me what mod ur using for that?

[hazy bone]

for the color base ?

[astral slate]

Ya

The color base

[hazy bone]

i think it call truebasecolorizer

[astral slate]

K I’ll look into it thx

[hidden seal]

i created more zones for my base but dont worry, my base it just 10% done.

im on survival

[autumn edge]

i never understood why people would make large bases

how do you occupy all that space to prevent it from being a complete waste

[hidden seal]

we do large bases because we can have much items much food much water in second

seconds*

anyways look at this lol

[robust stirrup]

Lol

[hidden seal]

new material lol

funny picture

[hidden seal]

||help i need ideas for my base||

[pale idol]

i use foundations and place objects like boxes on them to decorate. makes it look like some busy area.
idk, build a greenhouse.

[hidden seal]

ok

[static trench]

make a research station

[hidden seal]

ok

[pale idol]

u have no large rooms and all multipurpose rooms are one story tall. don't u want to try them? they diversifies the look of the base, u don't like em?

also. floodlights, glowsticks and projectors look quite cool even tho they don't have much practical use

[hidden seal]

i dont like much large room well i can do a cafeteria.... thanks for the idea!

but im with neptune

[static trench]

use large rooms to make multiple small rooms instead of making alot of multi purposes that will be empty, use the walls

[hidden seal]

ok

[static trench]

placeable walls

[static trench]

u could also try to make a floating base, with the new update ur base doesnt need to necessarily be underwater

[hidden seal]

im making neptune but i dont have sulphur bruh sorry but i gonna do that later

[vernal fox]

hol up, something is wrong here(below zero version)

[robust stirrup]

Weird, double beacons?

[tropic saddle]

i think the wall is just different color
thats strange

[worthy tusk]

pretty sure we're meant to notice the floating desk toy

[robust stirrup]

Nah, parts of it already defy gravity.

[dusk flare]

Define "much".
My current project needs around 4000 titanium pieces.

[robust stirrup]

Much = less than Tomtores is using.

[jagged yew]

I like to build as if im actually making a real functional structure and lay it out accordingly. For example, separating living spaces, work spaces, infrastructure, etc. My current base consists of a large room which connects to a greenhouse containing plants for food and resources, a living space area with a comfy bed and stuff, a power area which contains the nuke reactor, bioreactor, and a small lantern tree farm for fuel, a vehicle bay section with the two moonpools, a research area with aquariums and a scanner room, and a storage room with tons of lockers.

[dusk flare]

Same here. I also have bathroom in my BZ bases.

[lime lake]

same ye

[astral slate]

U NEED one

Idk why it ain’t in the base game

[jagged yew]

I was really hoping that the 2.0 update would add more than just large rooms and glass roofs. Wheres the jukebox, control room, and bathroom furniture at?

[astral slate]

Ye lol

[hazy bone]

same it hard to decorate in subnautica without mod tbh

[hidden seal]

i will do a cafeteria in my base

[vernal fox]

my~~ PC~~ laptop is trash

[worthy tusk]

a laptop is a form of pc

[robust stirrup]

Dude, these images have better FPS than my computer.

Also, what do your three Seatrucks have? Are they outfitted differently?

[lime lake]

It's so nice to see that the subnautica community is still going strong

always been such a goated game

[ornate escarp]

Always have been, always will be!

[astral slate]

Fr

Guys

Are mods playing games other than subnautica 😱

Jk I rlly don’t care

[austere river]

Pc is personal computer, so ur calculator is a PC

[robust stirrup]

Only if it’s a personal calculator.

If it’s a communal, shared calculator, it’s not.

[fringe citrus]

Thanks lmao. How much reinforcement does it require?

[wild vessel]

Its also a personal calculator

[dense geyser]

Pda is Personal digital assistant

[lime lake]

Ong fr

it also has a nice relaxing voice

[fringe citrus]

Bz pda is nice

[full ether]

I know it doesn't have much but here's my home

[fringe citrus]

Super nice

[lofty tartan]

@full ether That is a very nice home.

[gilded sierra]

wow i have never seen such a nice cyclops

[dusk flare]

varies with depth. I think 7 plates for the single occupant box.

[fringe citrus]

ty :D ill try this some time soon

[dusk flare]

bring prawn for air, medkits for occasional romps. start by building foundation, so you can hide underneath, then build corridors once ugly guy is out of earshot. takes some time.

FYI, you can build from inside corridors.

[fringe citrus]

How big should I make it

[drifting lava]

I’ve been playing the original Doom lately and i keep thinking “it’s spelled medikits”

[pseudo rain]

My base containing every flora and fauna :D

[dusk flare]

Depends on inhabitant. For centipedes, 5x7 modules works fine, 4 corridors tall

[short trellis]

goals

[dusk flare]

Bathroom 2.0

bc privacy is important

[jagged yew]

Thats a lot nicer than mine

[lean rivet]

some screenshots of my subnautica base

[spice laurel]

Rly cool having the jacksepticeye thing back

[keen oracle]

is that creative or survival? cause I see you have Tiger Plants and the last time I put those next to my base (in survival) they started attacking my Cyclops lol

I also put them in an alien containment once and they murdered everything in there and flooded my base so yeah...

I always avoid them when making a garden of almost every flora 😂

[pseudo rain]

tiger plants are in a ACU lol

[keen oracle]

I guess they're fine if there's no creatures in with them

but as soon as you add critters they go berserk and punch a bunch of holes in the containment

it ain't pretty xD

[ornate escarp]

This has been changed in the Living Large Update. They will no longer attack fish and the player in the Alien Containment Tanks.

[static trench]

science

[keen oracle]

really? I did not know this, that's quite handy

[dense geyser]

Yes?

[gilded sierra]

the greenest house

[late field]

Couple more pics of my base. Still awaiting better feedback.

(One from high up, and the other from underwater)

[drifting lava]

Very nice!

[fringe citrus]

pretty damn cool

i need to start building on land bruh it looks so nice

[errant quiver]

Noice, can u build a path around the auora?

[manic condor]

his game will prolly die of lags hahaha

[errant quiver]

Yeah prob

[errant quiver]

Are u Hungarian btw?

Ur name has 2 Hungarian words

[manic condor]

no i'm not haha

[manic condor]

does it? XD

[errant quiver]

Your name: but - thousand

[manic condor]

thats wild haha

didnt know that

[drowsy panther]

Just started my base by the sea treader path

[robust stirrup]

You have some nice friendly neighbors there.

[gilded sierra]

this is my first base build! i think it's pretty neat :)

[pulsar glade]

Until an angry fish decides to do a taste test

[soft bane]

been working on a Crater Research Facility in Subnauica (part of my interconnected outposts and such)

[muted vigil]

still a w.i.p

[ornate escarp]

Nice habitat!

[woeful locust]

what mods are this?

[ornate escarp]

They're not mods.

[fast quest]

That's just Below Zero

[woeful locust]

Oh yeah I forgot BZ has this, I wonder if you could port the Unity assets into Subnautica

[lime lake]

It's been so nice having all of the BZ base assets in base game subnautica

Use them all the time

[ionic crater]

No where close to all of them

[lime lake]

Oh really

Wow

[dusk flare]

vanilla BZ. I have snap builder mod, but placement was without overrides.

[lime lake]

I've still got to finish my lost river base that I'm working on

Done the captains quarter's and hangout room just need to do the moon pool and decorate the many empty corridors

[ornate escarp]

Snap Builder just makes life so much easier.

[slim agate]

I have been working on a base in the crater, only I keep running out of titanium.

[rocky drift]

I love having bases in cool environments. But I’m afraid of the void so I could never build there.

[regal owl]

Oh, what a cool location for a base! I remembed being so excited when I found that area, I was geeking out!

I feel ya. My cyclops has turned into a harvester. Lockers built throughout and carrying the mats to build a small base with a scanner room. The crash zone has tons and tons of scrap, but of course, risk.

[fossil marten]

so how do you obtain the barnacles? I'm still tryna wrap my head around this new way of decorating ahah

[pale idol]

Those barnacles are from containment facility, I only remember finding them there.

[wild vessel]

The void has a bottom, and i made a base on it

I named it outpost sigma because anyone who builds a base in the bottom of the void is a sigma chad

Also very conveniently theres lots of resources near the edge of the void

I also nearly died while taking this photo

[worthy tusk]

bz void has a bottom?

[wild vessel]

Yes

I was at first surprised too

[worthy tusk]

interesting

[wild vessel]

Its at about 2300m deep

[dusk flare]

It has partial bottom.
A shelf at 600m deep.
In some areas, a flat sand at 2400 deep. And in some spots there is no bottom.

In progress of reaching 8k deep to build a base. Lithium and titanium supply is hard.

[lime lake]

I think I may have asked this before but how do you get the mark statue in xbox subnautica

Is it even in the game

Probably is I'm assuming it's from a life pod

[steel nebula]

Crag field lifepod iirc

[lime lake]

Nice one thanks guys

I've found it

[thorny gull]

I mean, I assume a base like this has been done many times before, but none that I can see. So I tried to make a fully functional base within a singular x-shaped compartment, I thought it was rather good, if you have any suggestions please tell them, I’d love to fully optimise this build. (Power is gotten from solar panels, I was able to fit 10 in total)

[slim agate]

wow, that's all i can say, wow.

[stable jewel]

That's a lot of med kit fabricators. And lots of coffee capacity.

[thorny gull]

med kit fabricators were just unused room, thought i should give it a use anyways

[fossil marten]

is there anyway to obtain any "unobtainable" flora is BZ?

Or is it just a bug in the norm sub

[cobalt knoll]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1083317815974559746/1083920884529631373/realnigga.mp4 closeest thing i have to a bas

[fossil marten]

iphone 13 pro ipad air max

[fossil marten]

Mini Base at the Phi Robotics Landing Pad.

[fringe citrus]

Very nice, however the bed isnt necessary :D

Removing it would allow more room for storage or another pot

[thorny gull]

Yeah, I've tried making other designs with another pot and standing lockers, thanks. Any other advice?

[fringe citrus]

Not that i can see, looks quite efficient as is

[pale idol]

Unfortunately in below zero you can steal flora with propulsion canons. I think I was able to move some tree on the land so maybe it could be useful to decorate a land base, those fruity flower things can be moved but their collision boxes are wacky, better just plant them. I haven’t tried all flora but most of it can’t be moved.
You can still move boxes and some other objects in bz (forklifts are movable btw), there’s a lot of nice equipment-type stuff. Also you can steal baby stalkers but only with prawn propulsion arms, not regular canon.

I see now that you already know about nice equipment stuff))

[fossil marten]

yeah ahaha

[fossil marten]

nice, thanks for the tips

but im still confused on which fruity flowers and tree lol

[pale idol]

Looked it up, antennae plant and blue scrub bush.

[fringe citrus]

You can just yoink stuff?!

[fossil marten]

yep

[fringe citrus]

Bro

[fossil marten]

its not stealing if no one catches you 🤣

[fringe citrus]

Cooper

[pale idol]

It’s called taking (if no one is looking), that’s what skyrim teaches and that’s why I can’t finish my sn bases.

[fossil marten]

better finish those bases

ill come after you

[fossil marten]

just tried picking up the blue scrub bush with both normal prop cannon and prawn suit prop cannon, and both were ineffective

[pale idol]

Same, I picked one tree but it didn’t work with another one. Same with loot crates.

[fossil marten]

that happens among alot of loot crates i pick up

in fact one is spinning in the air right now

[fringe citrus]

(among)

[fossil marten]

sus

[fringe citrus]

Sus fr

[fossil marten]

soz for bad qual

[fringe citrus]

Its ok

[fossil marten]

i wonder why the hitboxes and the gravity of things just changes in a split second

maybe not hit boxes

but it seems like most of the supply crates are moveable until you interact with them using the propulsion cannon

[fossil marten]

which trees did you pick up? i've tried every single one at delta station

[pale idol]

I don’t remember, was a couple months ago. Try outpost zero.
Maybe I lied and it’s a waste of time. The circle on the screen widens when prop canon can pic up the objects, I walked past one of the brushes and it widened so I thought ‘I should come for that tree later’ but perhaps it got triggered by something else.

[lime lake]

great work guys

[fast quest]

Reworked the Bone Fields outpost

[fossil marten]

Looks great!

[fossil marten]

nice 👍

[fossil marten]

Yeah i think you're right, i just tested all the bushes (even out of bounds) and didnt manage to move them

[dawn briar]

what 50 hours of just base building and mat collecting looks like

for those wondering it has 7 large rooms, 4 nuclear reactors, 6 water filters, 8 interior grow beds, 6 battery chargers, and 4 power cell chargers, with 2 moonpools

[wild vessel]

The fact most of those rooms are probably empty scares me

[dawn briar]

no its filled with fish and mass storage @wild vessel

i have lots of pets

the multi purpose rooms are mainly so that i can a ton of reinforced walls

[ornate escarp]

Holy cow I love it!

[dawn briar]

thank you

[dawn briar]

finally starting the rocket grind

[errant quiver]

Bruh I survived with a base like this: 2 X pipes and squish these things in: fabricator, cell and battery charger, medkit, 2 small grow pots with melon and entrance, 2 multi purp rooms 1 for bioreactor and the other is spammed with creates, a moonpool and posters between the hallways

[errant quiver]

How do u even know where the stuff are do u have a map opened in microsoft paint? Also nice job

Not just nice

Amazing

[hard wasp]

X corridors are perfect for making a starter base

[dawn briar]

@errant quiver the 4 large rooms are the main crafting storage and food production, the multipurpose rooms exist to suffer and are there for reinforced walls as large rooms hate structral integrity, and i ive got corridors connecting everything, its really just one big circle

[errant quiver]

Ahhhh

I see

Image accidentally bonking into ur base with ur prawn so it gets damaged

And u need to look for that ONE crack filling the whole base

[dawn briar]

the other 4 large rooms are alien containments and mass storage

oh dont worry ive got like 70 or 80 percent inegrity

ive also got a ton of bulk heads

[errant quiver]

No i mean there is a feature that if u punch ur base with a prawn or run into it it gets damaged

I found it out the hard way doing parkour with my prawn

[dawn briar]

oh yeah im really careful and you cant tell from the photo but ive got a large section where i can land my prawn

and i have a docking mod for the cyclops that puts me into auto pilot when i get near it

[dawn briar]

jump jet and grapple prawn really dosnt have a hard time with the base

[dawn briar]

food production in my main base

[wild vessel]

You should add different rooms for different plants

Like 1 room for marble melons, 1 room for lantern trees, etc

And you can have 1 acu in the middle

[dawn briar]

I might try that if my pc can handle it, my base already takes up a large portion of the grassy plateaus

[dusk flare]

lantern trees?
I understand marblemelon farm this big, because they chunky bois, but lantern fruit?

[dawn briar]

Ehh is what I could find at the time

[dusk flare]

They work nice for a nightlight, and not much else imo

[civic marten]

anyone has a base on the habitat platform mod?

[faint hull]

I have made the best transport

[dense geyser]

Did you know prawn can go triple the speed of a sea moth with a well placed grapple

[fossil marten]

thats the exact same as mine 🤣

[robust stirrup]

And Solar charger? What do you use that for?

I don’t find myself going on Seamoth trips long enough to have to recharge.

[uneven warren]

Same here, moonpool docking handles charging just fine.

[errant quiver]

And if u jump the moment u reach the hook and stop holding it u go flying into thst direction

[pseudo rain]

Unless i use the cyclops to move bases, it is the most useless vehicle; only use the prawn in deeper biomes and the seamoth is the one i use the most so the solar charger is very useful

[robust stirrup]

The cyclops is amazing, I’d take it over the Seatruck any day, but it also it invisible to all attacks when turned off, and craft object anywhere (so you can set up a base whenever you want) and is actually quite maneuverable unless you’re using it somewhere like Blood Kelp Trench. Not being able to be warped out of your vehicle is great, not to mention having your prawn/seamoth be complete safe when it’s docked. (They’ll still get attacked by some creatures even when you’re not in it unless it’s cyclops or moonpool-docked.

[pseudo rain]

Can't convince me

[dense geyser]

Ik

[drifting lava]

I am torn between cyclops and seatruck in which i prefer, but i am upset that seatruck replaced seamoth

I dont think seatruck was very successful as a small, agile transport, but it worked pretty well as a mobile base

[drifting lava]

You know what, scratch that. I prefer seatruck to cyclops as a mobile base.

[ornate escarp]

The Seatruck is smaller and can actually strafe.

[drifting lava]

Well, seamoth is smaller than seatruck and can strafe too

[robust stirrup]

Strafing is nice, but it wasn’t really necessary on Subnautica’s larger map, and you could always avoid leviathans with creature decoys, silent running, powering off the engine to prevent them from getting aggroed, ect. As an alternative to side stepping with the Seatruck.

Also if we’re continuing this convo, it should probably be in #below-zero-chat (because of Seatruck).

[dusk flare]

With seatruck, you can elec-zap them then run away.

[steady stone]

That looks really good, I love it

[astral slate]

not rlly... it would honestly just be better to use a chassis upgrade or if ur REALLY into having a lot of power, an engine efficiency

[keen oracle]

is that the Northern Zone or the trench? can't tell cause both look equally dark at night, but either way both are some of my favourite biomes for bases

[pseudo rain]

It still helps

[pseudo rain]

No but i combine them

[errant quiver]

I have a creative world file on my xbox

Its laggy bc i built like 7 bases

I will show them here after im home

There is 1 in the dunes its random tunes and random stuff

I called it art glass base

Reaper watcher at auora

Bloodkelp lifepod researcher

Kelp forest tourism base

And a seamoth for every single base

Its REALLY laggy

[robust stirrup]

I think everyone’s in agreement that the Diamond Reinforced Hull upgrade is by far the worst.

I would say not, but I’d take a locker over either any day.

But yeah, I’d say efficiency is second worst, in front of diamond reinforced hull.

[astral slate]

Bro both are useless tbh, just use a moon pool

[astral slate]

Well if u suck at piloting it would save ur seamoth a lot, especially in pretty dangerous zones where u can’t just repair whenever u want

[robust stirrup]

It’s way worse than Solar Charger though, almost anywhere is safe enough to get out for a few seconds.

Seamoth repairs at 5HP/sec with repair tool, so you barely have to get out at all.

Also, keep in mind, it does not protect against creature damage. It only prevents collision damage, and only by 50% decrease per modules.

If you’re taking serious damage by constantly running into walls, and you’re in a zone thats too dangerous to get out and repair, the hostile fauna will most likely finish the job anyway.

Mod

FCStudios I believe

[robust stirrup]

Battery or something?

Honestly, if you’re going out for 30 min trips, you’re missing out on resource because of full inventory (also you have to bring more food/water). It doesn’t make your seamoth more tanky. Also, you’re missing out on the fact that 1 storage module can hold 16 power cells if you really need that power (for whatever reason).

[errant quiver]

Let me guess top left is a nuclear reactor room

[robust stirrup]

Why would you guess that?

I’m curious.

[errant quiver]

Bc its logical to protect it

Irl logic

[robust stirrup]

Looks like the mod is some kind of battery (my best guess), and there’s a power line going off the pic, probably for thermal.

[errant quiver]

actually its a mod what let u have currency

[robust stirrup]

Nuclear generates fast enough that I doubt you’d need a battery, it also stores a ton of power

Ok, understood.

[errant quiver]

Littearly surviving on an alien plant and still workinng for Alterra

[robust stirrup]

But protecting a nuclear reactor does nothing for in-game purposes.

Lmao

[errant quiver]

But funi

[robust stirrup]

Satisfactory moment.

[errant quiver]

Lol

Some people have high integrity (like 30)

[robust stirrup]

True, I’d expect a realistic base to be a little more developed.

[errant quiver]

My base has 0.5 integrity

Works the same as 30.

[robust stirrup]

Theoretically true.

Also if we’re continuing to talk, #subnautica-chat .

[astral slate]

Bruh u can use the seamoth for like hours… do u like never turn the lights off lmao

[astral slate]

And u won’t even use that much power in the first place…

Unless u constantly keep the lights on

[robust stirrup]

My point is, you have plenty of space for extra power if you need it, (you’ll definitely not use all 16 slots for that, I’m just saying you can). You get more storage space for equipment, resources, food/water/medkits, ect.

If you’re going on a very, very long trip, I can see the appeal, but at that point, you’re either carrying a ton of food/water, or thermoblading bulbbushes and fish.

Perimeter defense doesn’t even use that much power compared to how much you use it.

If you having to use it a lot, either you’re hanging around in a dangerous area that you shouldn’t be in, or you have a death wish.

[dusk flare]

Nope, you need around 10 integrity, in case you have to disassemble reinforcement piece or start building a corridor. Leaks are hard to fix in large bases.

[errant quiver]

Ok but if i have 0.5 nonstop im fine

I built my base

And built some walls into the large room

Boom 0.5 integrity

Im good

0 lithiums used for reinforcement

[mild hornet]

Hi

[dusk flare]

If you do not expect any further development, its fine, but with 0.5 you may get leaks the moment you want to change partition walls layout to fit more lockers.

[errant quiver]

Some people forget that u cant only put glass lockers next to walls

I have lockers stacked like a library

[dusk flare]

One step before this?

[errant quiver]

How do u access the ones in the corner

[hard wasp]

you just dont

[errant quiver]

Exactly

[pseudo rain]

lol its not im not finished yet but done most of the layout

[dusk flare]

The left row is full of copper, middle is silver, right one is gold. When a locker is full, I just build new one in front of it. When witdrawing items, just disasemble empty lockers.

[grizzled pecan]

that seems tedious

[astral slate]

Uh…. They actually do…

Try keeping ur seamoth with its light on ok, and then ditch it and do other stuff

When u come back the battery is lower

They do tho

Every single time I leave my seamoth at a wreck, and go explore it, the charge is always lower

Bro the cyclops lights are useless, they prolly just said that they won’t drain the power

Like if I leave it at 89 percent, it’ll be 85 by the time I’m back

The external ones are

Huh… weird… prolly a glitch

U literally use the cameras for it, there’s no point in the external ones outside the subnautica

[uneven warren]

One of three I made last night

[uneven warren]

I should have taken a picture of the view inside the observatory. This spot is one of my favorite places in the game.

[steel nebula]

I just got an idea about building massive bases all over a world, maybe storywise make it be a situation that people have started living all around 4546b.

And also i thought of building a gallery of small yet good bases

[uneven warren]

You should check out Div's Atlantis in the pins

[steel nebula]

I thought it wouldve been the insanely big one, but still very impressive.

[uneven warren]

Not sure what you mean? His base is massive.

[steel nebula]

Oh i looked at the wrong one. Man i feel dumb rn.

[steel nebula]

Built quick examples of 3 one segment bases. X, T and I sections. Fitted each with storage, a fabricator, radio, 2 medkit fabricators, 1 or 2 composite plant pots, a hatch, a mod station and at least 2 accessable windows exchangable for hatches.

[robust stirrup]

Where is it? I’d love to build there. Do you have coords?

[uneven warren]

NW of the wreck in the NE grassy plateaus. I don't have coords on me atm

This is in the crash zone, starboard side.

[silver veldt]

My first base

[lime lake]

Simple but effective

What's inside it

[silver veldt]

I'll do a live tour here soon

If you wanna join ofc

@lime lake I'm live rn if you wanna join

[pseudo rain]

a few more updates on my base

[full flame]

that base is awesome

[silver veldt]

Yea his is I'm just showing I got 500 meters in my scanner room

[silver veldt]

Hi

[night crest]

awsome base

[silver veldt]

Big

My base

[night crest]

nice

kinda stole my attention

but nice

[silver veldt]

No I didn't mine is so tiny

[silver veldt]

My entire base could fit in that one room

[drifting lily]

cat poster my beloved

[night crest]

yup

[night crest]

i have multiple rooms you know

[silver veldt]

Yea

[night crest]

rate the base

[silver veldt]

8

[lime lake]

Decent yeah

[wild vessel]

Beginner/10

[pseudo rain]

7/10 has the basic need but needs to look nicer

[full flame]

That base is awesome

[night crest]

how is it beginner?

I have 2 moonpools

and a cyclops

energy room

main room

moonpool 1

moonpool 2

water filter

[hollow dew]

first mushroom base:

inside the large room

[silver veldt]

Second photo is right by my base

[pseudo rain]

Woah I love your organic swimming base!
So cool
