🏠awesome-bases

[abstract isle]

Figured I would post this here as well. My ultimate one room microbase, just add solar (or thermal) power.

[wild vessel]

I tried a new thing where i say "the base is beginner" to get them to show me the interior

Idk its weird but its an idea i had

Neat base tho bro 8/10

[full flame]

That base is awesome

[shy bramble]

Pictures of my bedroom and breakroom area

[pseudo rain]

How do you have so much power

[lime lake]

Nice

[lime lake]

They probably have a fully charged nuclear reactor

With all four rods being active

It's the most effective way to have large amounts of sufficient power for a base

The rods are easy to make aswell

[full flame]

That base is actually so awesome I love it

[shy bramble]

I have 12 nuclear reactors all with 4 rods to support my like 15- 17 water filters that I built for the funny

[lime lake]

I have 1 in my main base that Is always fully powered with all 4

[shy bramble]

If you look at the picture where you can see the bed and the wall planter you can see two large rooms with a third on top, those three are completely filled with nuclear reactors

[lime lake]

I also have one reactor in my sea trader observation base and my lost river base

So 3 total I've built over the map

They're so useful

[shy bramble]

Yea they produce tons of power and the rods last sooooo long it’s amazing

[gilded sierra]

is there a hard cap to how much power you can have?

[shy bramble]

Idk it’s more than 30k though

[lime lake]

Yeah it's around that

In the really early game I remember just using the solar panels for my main bases power supply

Those were the good old days

Before I beat the story and went deep

[glass scroll]

Uhh. Okay then... Then the fact that I have 3 is not normal in one base.

[pearl elk]

Do you actually need a radiation suit to replace the rods like the pda says?

[shy bramble]

No I wear reinforced dive suit and keep like 16 rods on me and I am fine

[pearl elk]

Of course it lies

[shy bramble]

Fr

[pearl elk]

Imma still leave it in a locker for any future survivors who find themselves stranded but find my base😉

[astral slate]

Where is that?

Cuz that area looks soooo convenient

[pseudo rain]

Under the floating island or near the trench blood kelp

[full flame]

two sea moths?

[ornate escarp]

They're playing with the Nitrox Multiplayer Mod.

[uneven warren]

Good eye Slicey

[full flame]

oh ok

[terse tangle]

Sparse reef the shallow bit

[jagged yew]

Not me who has 3 seamoths and 2 prawns in my singleplayer world

[lean rivet]

why lol

[lime lake]

I'm seriously thinking about crafting a second seamoth

I've got one of every vehicle and a second one seems cool

[nocturne void]

my void observatory (not finished)

[woven glen]

thought the person in the photo was ariana grande 💀 (is that how you spell her name?)

[steel nebula]

I think so

[hollow flax]

I have a litle pet in my base :) dont worry he dont hurt
||idk how he got here too x)||

[terse tangle]

rate my base

[wild vessel]

Has all the essentials, not very aesthetic tho

6.9/10

[terse tangle]

have you seen what i placed outside lol

a bed

[wild vessel]

Yes ik you can do that

Use a bulkhead and an l compartment

[terse tangle]

i used the build tweaks mod

[robust stirrup]

Lol, I was about to say! Really bummed they fixed the bulkhead glitch. My favorite bug ever, but what can you do? 🤷

[robust stirrup]

Deep Grand Reef base: (I haven't put plants in the lab yet.)

(6 Thermal Plants)

[remote juniper]

End Game Base

[robust stirrup]

Alterra's going to flay you alive.

[errant quiver]

“Remember that the ores you find is the property of alterra corp. And you will have to pay a full market price. Your current bill stands at 6 trillion credits.”

[blazing mirage]

Though my moonpools are right next to eachother

[true vale]

,

[pseudo rain]

underwater islands
a base almost around an island

[pseudo rain]

a bit small though

[robust stirrup]

I like to have a base like this in a large variety biomes, rather than a single huge one.

What do you generally put in a larger base?

[pseudo rain]

usual stuff
10 alien containment for bio reactor food amd water
plants
observatorium
my room and a storage room
and some stuff from mods

[analog robin]

Rate the layout

[robust stirrup]

8.5/10

I like it.

[keen oracle]

is this a large enough Deep Grand Reef base for you? 😂

[celest plover]

Very nice

[pseudo rain]

9/10 really cool

[terse tangle]

9/10 the thing i dont like is you get ghost leviathans there but the base it self is 10/10

[uneven warren]

There aren't any ghosts down there

[jagged yew]

Im fairly sure there are

I actually have a video capture of one following me out of the caves and up toward the surface somewhere on my switch

[uneven warren]

There aren't any ghosts in the deep grand reef, which is where that base is. They're in the surface part of the biome. DGR has crabsquids and warpers. No leviathans.

[jagged yew]

Oh

Ok

Kinda hard to tell where the base is

I guess you can sorta see the cave roof tho

[uneven warren]

The color of the water gives it away, long with being able to see the cave ceiling lol

[robust stirrup]

Interesting, never tried it, might do so now. But I really liked the bulkhead glitch because you could do it anywhere, rather than only at a Alien Arch, and then have to walk all the way back to your base in stead of swimming or Seamoth-ing. (Love the way you described it too, lol)

Also, are you calling Ryley fat? Because according to the PDA, they exceeded their exercise quotient by 500%.

Yeah.

The rest are already hydrophobic.

Not taking that bet. 😉

[zenith finch]

this is a thing

[wild vessel]

I see youve mopped the floors

[rancid violet]

My main base in Below Zero

Secondary base

[blazing mirage]

Wait is the room with name a control room?

I dont have BZ but control room seems pretty neat

[rancid violet]

Yup, it allows you to customize your base such as changing its color and giving it a name, which will appear on the side of the control room

[blazing mirage]

Its also a beacon right?

[rancid violet]

Correct, and you can toggle it on/off just like every other beacon.

[blazing mirage]

Ok good

[dusk flare]

It also has a name on one side only, so plan accordingly...

[remote arch]

WIP of my Nitrox pilot base design. Rated for 4 people, carries 30000 power, 4 moonpools, 4 scanners, 4 large containment units, 16 water filtration units, and a ton of storage.
There are also a lot of growbeds in the "courtyard" area, as well as on the skirt surrounding the base. This is literally a colony in the water.

Gonna make it look nice now tbh

[wanton umbra]

rate

[remote arch]

Reminds me of my old 1P scanner base. 7.5/10, very nice. Could use a scanner room and moonpool though.

unless they're obstructed

for context, this is my 1P scanner base

[remote arch]

the first thing you see when entering the main body of this superstation

enough chargers to juice up 4 cyclopses, and enough juice to do it all with ion powercells

[remote arch]

hmm

that's in creative?

Not sure I'm comfortable rating that

[blazing mirage]

Thats alot of charging ye

But wouldn't it be better to park the cyclops in hot springs? If they have thermal yeah

Anyway it doesnt look like there is nearby so

[rancid violet]

That is really cool! I know for a fact that I would get hopelessly lost in there 😆. To mitigate that 'problem' in my own base I put up sign posts everywhere and colour coded the various sections.

This is at the front door.

the 'kitchen'

[wild vessel]

My base has a reactor section

Its seperate from the actual base, its more like a power plant

Im planning on expanding the reactor to be so big it can power every single one of my bases

Sure itll take quite a bit of gold but it would be cool

[remote arch]

That is an awesome idea. Will keep in mind for a grand reef base

[remote arch]

I have a few of those throughout the building too. It's kinda hard to get lost though, since it's pretty easy to tell where you are inside.

[analog robin]

Check this out

[blazing mirage]

Noice

[blazing mirage]

I saw the scanner say reaper leviathan

[robust stirrup]

What do you use to build things outside? Mods or something like the Bulkhead glitch?

[terse tangle]

i just used the ghost command to get out so the game still think im still in the base

[robust stirrup]

Oh, interesting, never thought to do that. Might steal that for my next build.

[steel nebula]

Maybe because the surrounding water is infested with them.

[polar moon]

This is a cool base I built in the Grand Reef

{Creative}

I think the Grand Reef is a very beautiful biome. I actually went and killed the two ghost leviathans with instagib cuz I didn't like that there were leviathans in the Grand Reef.

I went ahead and killed the reaper near the safe shallows and the one near the mountain island as well

Here is my base on the floating island

[robust stirrup]

Cool base! I agree, Grand Reef looks really nice, and has awesome potential for a base. (Close to important areas, lots and lots and lots of thermal vents for power, and a modest amount of resources.

I personally think that the Leviathan would've added awesome ambiance, so I would've kept it in, But you're playstyle is up to you!

[polar moon]

I made a base using exactly one of each thing in the base building menu (except the large room partition, which I needed 2 of to place the door)

[robust stirrup]

Where's the curved habitat pieces? Are you including inside and outside modules/miscellaneous buildables (Like counter) too?

[polar moon]

Yep!
And the L compartments are on the first floor. Though I may have forgotten the non-glass one as I was trying to work out the layout of the corridors, I'll add that back in tomorrow.

You can see inside the multipurpose room and large room, which are where all of the things are.

[celest plover]

Nice layout

[uneven warren]

Wanted to set up somewhere I usually don't in the Lost River during this hardcore run, decided on the Ghost Forest.

[wet tendon]

You can always spawn them back in

Using coomands

[outer salmon]

Really cool base, I have built in many biomes but never the ghost forest.

[pure oriole]

tried to do the same thing with just a knife.
don't be as stupid as i am.

[mighty vault]

rate this small base from 0/10

[lime lake]

7

[polar moon]

gonna start building bases in BZ

except its just the twisty bridges cuz i too much off a wimp to go anywhere else

[rancid violet]

don't worry, I have my main base in the start area / shallows in both games 😄

[jagged yew]

All my playthroughs I end up building in tree spires. Chelicerate gets pretty annoying

[blazing mirage]

That's bigger than my mainbase😭

[mighty vault]

bruh

[terse tangle]

not the best but its a basic hotel layout i made

[molten shell]

Hey if y’all wanna help me design and build a bar check out the streams and videos chat. Trying to get the community to help build a dope looking base.

[glacial marsh]

@velvet saffron This is an old screenshot, but it's still good I think

[lofty canopy]

Those kelps look amazing with that glow

[rancid violet]

not really a bar but I made a canteen/kitchen in my base

different angle

[mighty vault]

rate this base from 0 to 10 (modded)

[ornate escarp]

Very colorful! 8/10! 💚

[mighty vault]

why so low tho

[tall olive]

this was my old base im crying of embarrassment

[blazing mirage]

Its gotta be a 8 outta 10 but if the scanner room wasnt on the way to the cyclops it would be 10

If you werent required to go through special rooms like moonpool or scanner

[dry brook]

what was even inside?

[pure oriole]

is there a build height limit for either game?

🤔

[tall olive]

long hallway with wall lockers on the side, that was it at the time

[mighty vault]

not embarrassing, thats a speedrunners average base.

[mighty vault]

i dont think so, because people always keep building to the moon.

[pure oriole]

well, i googled it and according to a reddit post, the highest a player can be is 8192m high, the same as the maximum depth before getting teleported back.
interesting.

[ornate escarp]

There is a build limit in BZ. SN has no build limit.

[misty yacht]

I enjoy interior design c:

[pseudo rain]

https://tenor.com/view/epic-that-was-epic-fantastic-awesome-epic-monkey-gif-19514520

[mighty vault]

rate this small base interior

[thick pawn]

You can add lantern trees

[fickle leaf]

Is this subnautica or below zero

[mighty vault]

there is a lantern tree, its just not grown

theres also 2 chinese potatoes and marblemelons

[misty yacht]

Subnautica

[thick pawn]

Both

[rain flame]

how did you make the stairs?

[uneven warren]

They show up when you build a hatch above sea level.

[split phoenix]

Omg this is amazing

[uneven warren]

Thank you! I really enjoy base building and take pride in the ones I post.

[grave ridge]

main base

[jagged yew]

Original. You can tell by the eyeyes in the aquarium and the grub baskets. Both exclusive to sn 1.

[fair crow]

im so jealous of you good builders

my most complicated design has been 2 large rooms stacked on eachother, forming an alien containment facility and a greenhouse

[glacial marsh]

Lmao same

[grave ridge]

I had a same thing

[mighty vault]

rate this interior

[mighty vault]

is that bz?

[grave ridge]

Yea

[glacial marsh]

It's not BZ bruh

[mighty vault]

Oh

I looked at wrong screenshot sorry

Wow

[pseudo rain]

Beautiful

[remote juniper]

The base looks so good 9/10

[grave ridge]

Ty

[wild vessel]

This base gives me cancer, 10/10

(reference to ultraviolet lamps if you dont get it)

[wild vessel]

what

what is that

is that the seatruck docking module it looks very weird

[fossil marten]

its just the beacon for a detached module incase you lose it or smth

[grave ridge]

In dock it works like that

[pale idol]

modules are in the tube and truck is in the small glass dome on the side, detatched

[desert olive]

I presume mods for the base colour

[mighty vault]

u presumed right

[pseudo rain]

9/10

[blazing mirage]

Nice Cyclops dock tho

[main holly]

First ever base I made in subnautica a few years ago with some modifications and a massive alien containment

[grave ridge]

Cool photo

cool mods guys

good work

[mighty vault]

rate this interior

[uneven warren]

I rate it pink/10

ima change interior colors

hold on

now, hows this look? (had a bit of struggling tryna find the right color)

[celest plover]

For a mod that seems pretty neat I rate that 8.5/10 with a bonus approval making it 9/10

[frigid vale]

Giant megabase that houses 3 people in Nitrox

[uneven warren]

Post daytime pic pls

[frigid vale]

Had to turn bloom down but heres a day pic

[wind dagger]

how did u do that before sunbeam arrives

[mighty vault]

nocost cheat

duh

[terse tangle]

let me guess your on legacy build?

[uneven warren]

Nitrox doesn't work with 2.0 so yes, yes they are 😄

[blazing mirage]

You did that before sunbeam? I didnt even get the habitat builder before sunbeam

[mighty vault]

rate this really hot mess of a base (updated again)

[pseudo rain]

This base is all glass lol

[mighty vault]

the glass is never enough.

[main holly]

Rate this room 1-10

[smoky oak]

I reckon if you replace some of the plant walls with windows, it'll look a bit better. Though it really depends on the structural integrity of the rest of the base. Adding a reinforcement wall wouldn't look too bad either. I think it goes too overboard with the foliage though. It is my opinion; other people may think differently. 7/10 for me.

[pseudo rain]

Zen roooooooom

[smoky oak]

Highly useful if the game had an oxygen feature. Sadly we can't get air from trees, so we'll just have to use it for food and such😔

[pseudo rain]

Don't you just hate it when you can only use your plants as nourishment to survive another lonesome day

[pseudo rain]

8.5/10 btw

[smoky oak]

I'm very anti-social yet adventurous. It's kind of my dream to crash land on an alien planet with just me, my thoughts, and nature. I'd love to make a plant room to just sit in and think. I feel as if it would be very relaxing. Probably why Ryley is so calm all the time.

[pseudo rain]

I feel like Riley would be a bit like Amanda

If that was her name...

[smoky oak]

Amanda??

[pseudo rain]

She was with the russian dad and his kid

The hunter or whatever

[smoky oak]

OH MAIDA

[pseudo rain]

Yeah her

[smoky oak]

Hmmmmm, nah. Ryley just seems like Ryley if you know what I mean. He's just his own person who probably thinks ALL THE TIME instead of talking out loud. Maida was more.. outgoing. I mean, seeing as she was a mercenary, she would be.

Again, that's just how I see it. Different people view things differently.

[fast quest]

I'd probably go with a 7, the symmetry is nice but it gets a bit repetitive. For example I'd switch the middle lantern trees with smth else. Still looks good tho ofc

[honest fractal]

the blue is hurting my eyes ngl

[steel nebula]

The black with red lights looks great. Overall something id love to be able to do ingame.

[mighty vault]

with mods u are able

[mighty vault]

i made the blue look as dark and fitting as it can for ppls eyes to not hurt-

[unborn light]

Marguerit is my favorite character in both games lol
She’s so extra
If there’s ever a Subnautica movie I hope it’s told from her perspective cause that’d be hilarious
She’d probably be badmouthing all the other characters and making rude comments in her personal logs about how terrible everyone else is at survival

[steel nebula]

The problem is im playing on ps.

[steel nebula]

I especially like that one PDA in sn about hunting fish. Thats basically just like me. Hunt the fish before the fish hunt you

[unborn light]

My favorite one is the one where she ||hogties a freaking live ghost leviathan to the back of a cyclops||

[steel nebula]

I think it was actually a reaper. Her base in bz kinda proves that.

[unborn light]

No that was from later
The reaper skull is from the one ||she murdered with nothing but a knife and her bare wits and then lived inside it for like 3 months while it floated past the crater||

[steel nebula]

I thought the same reaper she "killed" wrecked the base and she truly killed it with a piece of metal scrap, abd it acted as her raft until she arrived to sector zero.

Tbh the pda entries let so much to be figured out by anyone playing, that alternate theories and concepts are not at all a surprise.

[unborn light]

Oh huh I just checked the wiki
I must’ve misremembered the species

Still a pretty crazy story tho

[steel nebula]

Yeah. And how about the time Bart tells her about stalker teeth and she just rushes out and returns with a TON of them.

[unborn light]

That was so funny lol

[smoky oak]

YES! She's just such a funny character. ||I'm really glad she survived and was introduced later in bz.||

[smoky oak]

Wasn't it a sea dragon? The dad mentions tentacles and calls it a kraken. He says "longer than the Cyclops", and reapers are about the same size, but ghosties don't have tentacles.

She does end up killing a reaper at some point though.

Sorry for calling him 'the dad', I kind of forgot his name-

[steel nebula]

Paul torgal?

The tentacles and kraken first tell that would be a crabsquid, but then the "longer than a cyclops" would mean towards only the leviathans.

[smoky oak]

Yes, Paul.

[steel nebula]

Unless the thing wasnt really that big, and as the moment is full of panic he couldve noticed something different or exaderated some aspects.

[smoky oak]

Yeah maybe. I guess we'll never really know

[honest fractal]

How would a sea dragon have followed her back, if they live 900 meters below where their base was at that time?

[uneven warren]

Take this to #subnautica-chat pls

[lime lake]

yeah lol

[proud token]

epic starter base

[cerulean zodiac]

Looks more like an endgame base

[proud token]

yeah but it was 3 days before I beat the game

[vernal pulsar]

Dang these are amazing.

[smoky sorrel]

Thanks for the compliment on the epicbase

The top one I built for multiple families should they come back to the planet. Includes a cafe, biome-focused multistoried aquariums (so one for all the animals/plants in the safe shallows, then one for dunes, mushroom forest, etc). It had a school, cafeteria, three office complexes, an 8 unit nuclear facility. The structure itself was built so it was like a hangar, where I would drive my cyclops inbetween the jogging path on the bottom and the upper tier living quarters on the topside. It's not rendering in the picture (game got too laggy with how much there was) but there are growbeds all along the jogging path with pretty flora.

You can kind of see it there.

[verbal marsh]

Excuse me sir by chance is that in the void

[quartz nacelle]

This is so pretty. Well done.

[smoky sorrel]

It is in The Dunes above the caldera

Also, thanks

[worthy shore]

Is it in dunes or void?

Coz it looks like the void for some reason

But great base tho

[smoky sorrel]

If you look at The Dunes Sinkhole on the wiki, that is where it is built.

[worthy shore]

Ok

[mighty vault]

so ur expecting me to believe she avoided kharaa for 10 yrs

[unborn light]

Nah she probably had it too and just survived by pure willpower

[mighty vault]

probably the reaper skin she ate to survive, bc levis are immune to kharaa afterall

after their ship fell

or theres a certain enzyme much like the enzyme 42 that is produced by other levis

including reaper

[mighty vault]

its supposed to be a base not a mansion 💀

[mighty vault]

once again, its supposed to be a base not a mansion-

[smoky sorrel]

It is a base. A base for multiple people. I think I had residence for some 40+ people. Each with their own two story home, two bedrooms, a kitchen, and living room. The upper class ring on the top of the base had more rooms per individual family. To think they wouldn't have returned to the planet and wanted a base like this is possible, but not likely. They would want somewhere to start mining the planet (BZ was exploratory) and to live while doing so. The base I built had enough defenses to fight off reapers (8 fully equipped seamoths/prawns for combat)

[mighty vault]

still its a great base

[mighty vault]

i aint reading allat

[smoky sorrel]

[mighty vault]

also i get ur point but if u dont have a multiplayer mod that base is pointless

[smoky sorrel]

Pointless mechanically, sure. But not to me. It was fun building it in survival (which was the point) and making a beautiful base (in my opinion).

[mighty vault]

if u didnt use the nocost cheat im astonished

howd u even get all that titanium if u didnt

[smoky sorrel]

It's without cheats, except for the one I used when I got glitched. By the end it was getting hard to find titanium, but it was still around. There are copious amounts of it in the game. I probably could have made another level and still not used half of what was left.

[mighty vault]

DAYUM

[smoky sorrel]

You could hardly walk in my cyclops it had so much storage. I would drive it to a biome and empty it of pretty much everything harvestable.

As most people do

[mighty vault]

speaking of it i destroyed 5 cyclopses for fun

that i spawned in with cheats

[viral cloud]

made a small garden room

[smoky sorrel]

Nice. I like the creepy view

[viral cloud]

lol

got a new view

[dusk flare]

Are potatos any good?
Can you make computers out of them?

[smoky sorrel]

You may want to ask this in #subnautica-chat . This is for awesome builds

[dusk flare]

Just wondering why potato plant in particular and trying to squeeze in a joke.

I wonder - can you build plant shelves on the planter walls? Might look nice.

[viral cloud]

i didnt know what else to put lol

[smoky sorrel]

Add some pictures

[short pewter]

that windows wallpaper, nice

[smoky sorrel]

Thanks. I also tried to theme my pictures for various rooms. So if I was in my biome rooms and I was in the biome room for the inactive lava zone, all the images were of lava, red colored boiling water, etc. It was fun to build. Then you can see my ice cream and oil photomanipulated picture in the posts above. That was just for when I was chilling out in my observation room in the lava zone. I like messing with the pictures on PC. Not sure if I can do that on my PS5 though.

[lost temple]

is it base game ot mods

[smoky sorrel]

Base game survival

[velvet helm]

Who's on the frames lol

[velvet helm]

I need a living large probably base fr, only reason i play legacy is for fcs mod

[proud token]

wait. how do u do that

it only let me add screenshot from the game

[toxic axle]

You need to add the picture you want to the screenshot folder first before being able to choose it
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Picture_Frame_(Below_Zero)

[smoky sorrel]

A true mystery indeed

[proud token]

ty

[smoky sorrel]

Have fun with it!

[proud token]

now I can put ahyeon's pic on my cyclop

wait does it only works on bz?

[smoky sorrel]

That is normal subnautica, and I think it works on both

[proud token]

nice

[smoky sorrel]

Ok

[keen oracle]

BKT is one of the best base locations change my mind

[warped hatch]

I can’t argue with that

Your base looks great

[viral cloud]

I built the garden in the blood kelp zone lol

[smoky oak]

Sorry for such a late reply, but she had already brang back a leviathan. Which species, we don't know, as they don't describe it. My theory is that it was a sea dragon, and the second sea dragon followed, looking for its brethren

[honest fractal]

the second one couldn't have been a reaper

[honest fractal]

marg was dragged off by the leviathan that attacked the base (which is the one that followed) and ||in BZ you see the reaper's skull and mandibles||

[smoky oak]

Yeah, I believe she encountered a reaper along the way because she survived in the stomach of one while she floated to ||sector zero||. I just don't think the leviathan that attacked the base is a reaper because the description just doesn't fit it. But it's all just a theory. A game theory.

[velvet helm]

Marg never had cyclops

[steel nebula]

Wait. A lot of tentacles reminding a kraken, longer than a cyclops. Why am i thinking of a gargantuan juvenile?

[brazen ridge]

Guys I’m about to make a base you guys choose where (except crater edge)

[uneven warren]

Crag

[velvet helm]

Floating island

[robust stirrup]

What do you use for power? Curious if there thermal down there.

[proud token]

inactive lava zone

[steel nebula]

Bulb zone

[modern girder]

Hey guys, i built some Subnautica themed AI art and built a museum inside the game 😄 Let me know what you think

I tried to re imagine the real world history and culture in Subnautica lore. Here are some funny ones

The Girl With Titanium Earrings

The Birth of 4546b

The Oceans Kiss

We also have a section built after famous historical figures, again re imagined in Subnautica theme

Pacifist Run Any % - Gandhi

Khan't Touch This - Genghis Khan

Of course we also have

Water Not Loo - Napoleon
Alexander The Wet
Deep Guerrilla - Che Guevara

I posted a link of the museum tour in the #📺streams-and-videos if you want to see more 😄

[smoky sorrel]

Thanks. Yeah I’m survival. Dunes sounds scary but is mostly calm if you know where to go

I’d say they are about equal, maybe mountains a little less

You can save before you complete the game, reload, then go get it. As for a base, since are in #🏠awesome-bases channel, you should overcome your fears and build a massive base in mountains when you are done

No

It does not delete your save

Cool

Make it awesome! (Also, let’s take this conversation to chat where it belongs)

[proud token]

lava base

[supple token]

Not really a cool base but I’m proud of it 🙂 I use it all through out the start to end.

Why so many hatches?

[supple token]

I found it quite annoying to have to run from one end to another. I just wanted to swim instead of having to run around ladders and a moonpool

Also, ease of getting into certain areas if I’m out in the ocean

Can someone reccomend what else I could build?

There is a 2 floor alien containment on the left

[smoky sorrel]

Multiple rooms for other people when they get there. A cantina. A Kharaa disease research room. A biome education series of tanks including flora fauna and pictures from each biome,etc etc

[lime lake]

lava bases are always cool

[floral girder]

Dunes base

[smoky sorrel]

That solar probably barely works. I went with thermal nuclear bio on mine

[pseudo rain]

I like it. I've started using I Compartments with ladders instead of ladders inside the multipurpose rooms. I never liked how cramped those get with ladders inside, especially when you add an alien containment in one. Hatches I'd usually have on different sides, and you can always swim up into the moonpool so no great need for a hatch right there.

I'm a big fan of the large rooms now, you can't do many until later in the game because of the lithium, but once you have some, it's great using these for temporary bases because it only takes 2 plasteel instead of 6 titanium for a smaller room, easier on the traveling inventory.

Hello. Reddit is the only one to blame for this long video. They asked for a tour.

https://youtu.be/XBZ914TIUmo

[nimble hornet]

Hi all, I want to ask if there is a place wich looks very astethic to build my base

[smoky sorrel]

At night, the pitch blackness of the mushroom forest can add to the beauty of a base. Kelp Forest may also be pretty. Adding a ton of exterior grow beds with other flora and light sticks to the area around your base might make it a really neat looking biome to build in.

[cerulean zodiac]

Kinda depends on what you're looking for. Is there any particular aesthetic you want?

Banana's suggestions of the mushroom forests and kelp forests are nice peaceful spots, if that's what you want.
I personally prefer the more alien-looking biomes. To me, places like the Grand Reef and Bloodkelp zones really emphasize the feeling of being in a place you don't belong in.

[lime lake]

gw guys

[kind forum]

creative base :)

[coarse sinew]

Interesting location choice

How does the interior look like?

[kind forum]

i tried

[kind forum]

pretty plain atm

[high kettle]

Why does that remind me of mine its kind of alike

[kind forum]

nice

[rigid leaf]

https://youtu.be/UlVEnAWiOXM

[honest fractal]

mountains has 7 reapers, dunes has 8

and crash zone has 10 but

we don't talk about the crash zone reapers

[honest fractal]

or maybe the other way around-\

[cerulean zodiac]

Sounds roughly correct

[steel nebula]

Mountains is 7. Dunes 8

[scenic jewel]

Sometimes one of the crash zone reapers goes to bulb zone

I’ve seen it

It scary

[cold path]

😂

Had to back that truck in…. Pervert.

[pallid gyro]

It would have been much better if that remained unmentioned

[languid nacelle]

make a base 8,000 meters below the surface, really good placement 10/10 area, no problems other than potentially being chased by long blue worms that screech, other than that the nieghbors are nice, theres plenty of light, 10/10 would come again

[wild vessel]

I made a base at the bottom of the void in BZ because BZ has a plateau at the bottom

[languid nacelle]

im talking abt normal subnautica

[wild vessel]

Ah

[languid nacelle]

below zero doesnt hit the same as OG subnautica

[wild vessel]

Yea 10/10 the backrooms is nice too tho

[languid nacelle]

backrooms??

its like 10,000/10

no diff

[wild vessel]

Ye bro its like so cool

Not scary at all

😃

[waxen timber]

Ye, ||normal peeper is better||

[pale idol]

i agree, arctic peeper is overrated, regular peeper - classic

[slim agate]

my starter base:

[worthy shore]

Nice

[keen sedge]

Who missed the night view of the city?

[rare bronze]

so cool!

[dusk flare]

The plateau does not cover everything. You can get around it (2,4k deep), and go down to 8k+

[terse tangle]

what biome was it in coz its hard to tell at night?

[keen sedge]

I posted a video above.
This is the red plateau. To the left of the safe zone.

[uneven warren]

That's...not a base. Post in #memes-and-media next time please.

[tender dove]

My bz base above and below water. Do I dare give a tour?

[cold path]

I've been working on several ideas for an ice base on top of an iceberg, this is the latest I came up with. I spent several hours today in Creative for the first time, it gets impossible to build higher or further out after a point up on the ice, sadly.

[cold path]

Very nice.

[tender dove]

Thanks. Would’ve responded earlier but I was swimming

[cold path]

Damn, I just now noticed that those bottom two groups of large rooms are over to the right one more space than they should have been. I just now noticed after putting glass corridors all the way around and more lights on top. LoL

[smoky sorrel]

It's worse like that after everything is finished and then if you really want to move it, you have to remove everything

[cold path]

Very true, I’ve moved bases more than once. Trying to decide if I want this for my main base next playthrough.

The restrictions on building higher are quite annoying though. But the back yard there is excellent…. 😎

[steel nebula]

(sry for bad quality) a very simplistic tree cove charging base i built with the stuff i found on my lr mining trip. Also forgot to take any lubricant with me so no moonpool.

[remote juniper]

💀

[terse tangle]

im pretty sure you used to be able to upload your save file here

[rare crystal]

it aint much but its honest work

home sweet home

[cold path]

Cozy!

[remote juniper]

wow

[terse tangle]

sea emperor observatory

[pallid gyro]

you should probably spoiler that

[terse tangle]

and built a base on flat area

[pseudo rain]

Staring into the abyss...

[pseudo rain]

That's not a base

[tender depot]

@smoky sorrel
it includes
Moonpool
Scanner room
Bedroom
Radio, fabricator, and adequete storage

[smoky sorrel]

It sounds good so far

[terse tangle]

built a simple base like far out in the void its not the void anymore and its says koosh zone so no ghosts there

[robust stirrup]

There’s a creepy headless dude in your picture.

[terse tangle]

coz i use the console command freecam so i can take a pic of the base

[robust stirrup]

I know.

Are you not a creepy headless dude?

[terse tangle]

yh it is creepy and at night

[steel nebula]

Yeah thats Harry. He kinda shows up every once in a while.

[terse tangle]

update mostly on the interior

[tender dove]

Behold, a survival base that I put no effort in 🎉

[robust stirrup]

What are these mods? I need some.

[terse tangle]

fcs mods

and its on legacy version of subnautica

[covert hamlet]

can you answer my question in #subnautica-chat

[barren coral]

not exactly done yet but im getting there

[barren coral]

was thinking of getting a habitat platform but again idk how to install mods n stuff so i just used uhhhhhh foundation instead

would look cool though

because im stupid

[barren coral]

made a new base but this time its aboveground properly now

love how the aurora is just in the background

[pseudo rain]

It's all about the view...

[left pivot]

Someone should make rapture in subnautica

[ornate escarp]

#📺streams-and-videos message

[barren coral]

added a bit more to it lol, the most biggest base in subnautica

[barren coral]

and so i did get the platform, and now i know how to install mods... kinda

[robust stirrup]

It’s cool, but to be fair, it’s nowhere close: #🏠awesome-bases message

[barren coral]

ah

if only i had the decorations mod it wouldve looked cool

but idk how to install that

apparently i have to install it the same way i did with the platform

just made a new world and i’ll try again lol

[barren coral]

kinda confused of how the barriers are on there, cause i dont see them on my platform lol

[jagged yew]

Bro I personally guarantee you do not hold the world record for the biggest survival base

The whole subnautica community aint on reddit bro

Theres surely some wacko out there who dedicated thousands of hours and used up every material available in the game

It may be the largest community in the world. But its impossibly far from the entire playerbase

Hol on

There are 695k people there

The game has sold over 6 million copies total

Im not challenging your base

Im presenting the inevitable reality that someone out there has definitely made a bigger one

The biggest base out of the 700k people on reddit is still impressive

[uneven warren]

#🏠awesome-bases message

Lol. No it isn't. @thorny river did it in survival, no cheats, no exploits, no cache clearing. And he's still working on it.

He' s a good friend of mine and I've been following his progress on it for awhile. He doesn't cheat.

Are you really accusing me of lying?

I have way more to lose as far as reputation in here by lying about this. I've spent a long time helping people in here so I gain nothing by lying.

You can believe what you want. But the fact is that Div did this in survival without exploits. I've played on his save file that has this.

From the screenshot you can see that the building was made in creative mode.

He used console commands to get that screenshot. Smh

Div can explain it himself when he can.

[jagged yew]

A single wall reinforcement can cancel out the integrity loss from like 2 entire multipurpose rooms.

[pallid gyro]

that screenshot is also so zoomed out that the reinforcement most likely didnt render

[jagged yew]

Id say its very possible even that isnt the biggest in subnautica history

[pallid gyro]

what do you mean by entrenched?

"During the process, it became entrenched as an exploit in the game mechanics"

[thorny river]

No it was survival

Was started on the 1.0 patch, and was built on the 1.0 patch until experimental became good again

[pallid gyro]

what part of it was in the ground? a lot of the bottom appears sitting on the ground, but not in it

[thorny river]

The only console command ever used was freecam (and fog) and I quit without saving after, no mods or gigantic exploits were used

[pallid gyro]

I can see what happened with your build, but not his

The screenshot was clearly from using freecam

[dusk flare]

Are we gatekeeping pretty bases now?
This isn't guinness book of records that it needs a jury to witness the building phase.
Here, have a screen of base that is built clearly outside playable zone in below zero. No cheats used.

what is survival mode? the regula game mode?

[pallid gyro]

correct

[dusk flare]

pretty sure thats what I'm playing

[thorny river]

• A ton of reinforcements
• 20 straight days irl time (480 hours dedicated to this save alone)
• Everywhere, I cleaned the map
• Yes, I still have the save
• Yes, 1 hour long video, and a few dozen screenshots

[dusk flare]

LIES!
20 days is not enough to clean the map!
...I've been doing it for like two months now in below zero and still have things popping on scanner...

[thorny river]

Apparently, I've still been finding scattered quartz and titanium nodes on my ventures

[dusk flare]

send that titanium to me, need moar

[uneven warren]

You have over 1440 hours in one save?

[thorny river]

Don't we all 😔

[dusk flare]

There may be a misunderstanding between workdays and hours.

[uneven warren]

Div said he's put 20 irl days into his save so I assume when you compared times you were using the same

Assuming all of those hours are in the same save, you have about 140 more hours to sink into it before you get to roughly where he is.

[dusk flare]

my log says I've started at jan 10. Been working on clearing the map since feb/mar.

[uneven warren]

Nice.

Here you said something straight nonsense.

What

[dusk flare]

Frankly, I just want to finish building the deepest possible base in sub zero and have a break.

[thorny river]

There's not much more you can say when you've had to resort to cleaning out the safe shallows limestone

[uneven warren]

That comes across really conceited and rude, my guy.

[dusk flare]

I had to resort to bugging under the map to grab leftover outcrops. I'm that starved for last pieces of titan + that last diamond/ruby really bothered me.

[thorny river]

Stop being silly and goofy

[uneven warren]

Jesus. You need to chill.

[pallid gyro]

you've been harrassing people over base building, mak

[uneven warren]

You're being very toxic, confrontational, and abrasive. If you want this conversation to continue please be more civil.

[waxen timber]

what

[pallid gyro]

to put the long story short, people got in an argument over a base that Div built

[uneven warren]

He was, he just didn't share it publicly like you did. Time for a mute bud.

[waxen timber]

"If that's the case, then I'll be rude in return."

[rose flume]

Can we please move on. Thanks 🙂

[thorny river]

Isn't there infinite resources in bz?

Last time I played sea monkys had that mechanic where they would give you small amounts of the resources needed for anything you had pinned in blueprints

[pallid gyro]

yup

[thorny river]

I should probably play that game again honestly

[dusk flare]

I got rid of brain worm, thus no freebies for me.
I, in fact, considered that 'infinite resources' cheating and installed a mod to stop them bothering me. Almost drowned several times when building.
If I knew I was going to build so deep down, I would have kept titanium pinned forever.

[steel nebula]

I wonder what it would take to get a base pinned in here

[dusk flare]

Time travel machine

[robust stirrup]

I decided to build a base in the Crystal Caves, and it's turning out great. As an added bonus, I now have a new friend! (He enjoys very close hugs.)

He visits quite often.

[pseudo rain]

You must love hugging that friend

[fallen garden]

you have a dangerous taste in friends

[robust stirrup]

That's the best kind of friends.

[fallen garden]

😂

good luck buildingg close friendship

[robust stirrup]

I'm actually surprised by my ability to avoid hugs.

Only got nibbled on once so far.

(Prawn and Seatruck got quite a few more)

[fallen garden]

how did the nibbling go? 💀

[robust stirrup]

Actually, only 30 damage because I have Reinforced Dive Suit on.

[fallen garden]

good to know

no radiation

cuz thats below zero

[ornate escarp]

I still love how shiney the base parts in BZ are.

[robust stirrup]

I know, but for some reason (it must be the location in that biome) some pieces are blindingly bright. Like they literally are completely white at certain angles.

[steel nebula]

Ah yes. I too like friends that want to literally eat me alive🤣

[pseudo rain]

Aw I like you too! I mean what

[honest fractal]

how'd you get the foundation so perfectly above the water?

j e s u s c h r i s t .

[thorny river]

my cool survival base

[honest fractal]

cap

[barren coral]

habitat platform

[honest fractal]

you can build foundations off them?

[barren coral]

yeah

[honest fractal]

damn i gotta try that

i prefer using foundations for small above water bases

[robust stirrup]

I still don’t understand what you put in those rooms. Is there anything in there? Also where are getting the titanium? 💀

[thorny river]

only everything infront of the 2 cyclops docks has furnishing inside

I get the titanium from everywhere

[thorny river]

No cap, on jod

[honest fractal]

modded cyclops dock or built with compartments in a dock-like shape?

[thorny river]

compartments in a dock like shape

no mods on that save

[honest fractal]

ah

i should do that for the sea voyager

i can never find a good place to park it

its so big

[thorny river]

Is that the boat mod?

[honest fractal]

cheats

i do it to tbf

real

[burnt iron]

Seems a bit dangerous to me also I’m sure you friend really likes to squeeze you too the point you can’t breath lol you must really enjoy those hugs lol

[robust stirrup]

He’s very good at emotional support. ❤️ Honestly, it’s not incredibly dangerous, as long as I keep an eye out. There aren’t any other hostile creatures, and I’ve memorized this guys patrol pattern, so I just wait until he’s out of sight, then I can enter/exit freely.

But yes, he does tend to be a little too affectionate.

[burnt iron]

Interesting so enemies have a pattern more likely leviathans

[robust stirrup]

Some do, this one circles a large rock column, effectively guarding both entrances/exits, so as soon as it disappears behind it, I have maybe 20-30 seconds before it comes back.

[burnt iron]

I wonder if that’s also a thing in normal subnautica not just below zero it might be

[robust stirrup]

Patrol patterns can be yeah, also #below-zero-chat if we’re continuing the convo.

[burnt iron]

Yep

[bronze ledge]

I wanna play creative below zero now

[robust stirrup]

Or better yet, do it in survival...

[upper orchid]

ooh i love this

[wind juniper]

@robust stirrup From my message here #subnautica-chat message here's what my base looks like etc

does this count?
my attempt at making some sort of a space station with base pieces
any ideas?

[ornate escarp]

It's cursed.

But I love it.

[tropic saddle]

thanks!

[bronze ledge]

Why all the spoilers?

[robust stirrup]

Spoilers are used at the player's discretion, they probably felt that some of their images might reveal information and newer players might want to figure out/discover themselves. It's up to you what you consider spoilers.

[bronze ledge]

Ah ok

[smoky sorrel]

My Krusty Krab location from my Spongebob Bikini Bottom base

Security Cameras in Mr. Krab's office. A safe hidden behind the bulbo tree with the recipe inside. I used the nuclear trash can as a sort of "grill" for making krabby patties. I put multiple base decoration parts to make a "till" for squidward. Made booths in the main room as well as the circular tables.

[smoky oak]

That’s so cool!!!!

Y’all are so talented

[dusk flare]

I shall put this here.

[pseudo rain]

Grassy Plateau ♥

[dapper socket]

Thats my type pf base

Just everything compact

In 1 spot

[robust stirrup]

Lol

[wintry sail]

My greatest base yet! The mobile Fortress! (Or What I like to call it "Long Snek"

[robust stirrup]

A very long snek.

[smoky oak]

So much storage-

[robust stirrup]

If you don't have this many lockers in your cyclops, are you even trying?

[smoky oak]

I don’t store stuff. I just get it when I need it. Very ineffective

[robust stirrup]

Yeah, it's better to have it on hand if necessary.

[cold path]

Oh yes. Mine was fairly similar, loads of cabinets everywhere I could cram them.

[wintry sail]

I use all of that storage! The bottom layer is mostly filled! It is enough to create a medium size base with the essentials to start you off in the lava zone or lost river. Or even the dunes! Though, I keep it full most of the time incase I run into an emergency. Meaning if I am fully out of power. Stranded in a non-eviroment rich area with crops growing.

[cold path]

Bottom on mine is mostly titanium and quartz. Always need more of that.

[wintry sail]

Yep, though titanium is easy to get if you kill off the reaper in the crashsite around the aurora. Quartz is a blood kelp zone issue. Warpers around the area but a good amount of quartz.

[cold path]

Oh, I know. But I tend to stockpile things. LoL

[wintry sail]

Same, I am almost out of the metallic ore.

Magnetic

[neat vine]

I love growing all the things

[cold path]

Very nice

You’re growing more things than I thought possible.

[neat vine]

I know! I found out just by cutting everything and checking to see if I got any pieces 😄

Pretty sure I've found all things in the game that can be grown. But I'll keep checking anyways.

[cold path]

Some of those I thought I had tried cutting myself and got nothing. Need to take another look.

[wanton umbra]

mansion

[random tapir]

I stole a snow stalker

[cold path]

Now that is one beautiful base.

[cold path]

How?!?

[random tapir]

Commands lol

Cant believe i never thought to put penglings in an aquarium before

[cold path]

Ahh, I never use those. LOL Really wish the young ones could have been picked up like the pengling. And definitely wish they could be dropped indoors.

[proud token]

epic starter base in hardcore bz

[random tapir]

Doesnt look very starter base

[uneven warren]

Looks like one of the rooms didn't load in

[pale idol]

BASED. but wait. how did you get it inside? my moonpool didn't let me

[random tapir]

Had to build a corridor and then stand at the very back to spawn it in the room

Even still he doesnt move

Just stands there and does a random animation sometimes

[cold path]

He's terrorized of his unfamiliar environment...

[random tapir]

The room is all glass to taunt him that he cant leave

[neat vine]

make sure your inventory isn't full when you do it because it will just appear to give nothing then. happened to me a bunch of times.

[robust stirrup]

How'd you get him inside the base? Moonpool and prop cannon?

[robust stirrup]

I actually really love the difference in elevations with the foundations. Might try that out sometime.

[dusk flare]

This is a very nice one.
The rooms arent connected, are they?

[robust stirrup]

They might be, on the bottom level of the central room.

[dusk flare]

I think they are too close. Not connected by the back either, I can see the observation rooms there

[random tapir]

Commands lol

[robust stirrup]

Aww, fren is worth it.

[cold path]

I think they are connected at the back, there is a connector on either end of the middle section that would connect to the last of the 4 available connectors on the two side ones. I played around with overlapping large rooms with different orientations, didn't work for me because I couldn't get ladders to match up.

[dusk flare]

This looks disturbingly like the sub from recent news articles.
WHY?

[pallid gyro]

the sub?

[dusk flare]

The one that tried to visit titanic, but forgot to install the depth modules and went pop.

[cold path]

Underwater physics, form follows function, etc.

[pallid gyro]

ah that

[random tapir]

forgot to install the depth modules

Best sentence ever

[dire plume]

tbh a cyclops dock in subnautica would be great

[waxen timber]

ye

[cold path]

I think we all agree on that.

I’ve seen a concept similar to the sea truck dock from BZ, but I think a larger moonpool type room would be much cooler.

[robust stirrup]

There is a mod for that on Nexus Games.

[waxen timber]

You mean the concept with docking with the front? (The "eye" being grabbed and I guess there being a door in the diving bell)

[robust stirrup]

I mean, you could have a seatruck dock-like design that looks like a moonpool rotated up 90 degrees, that only grabs the front portion (like 20 percent) and covers the front window and allows access to the diving chamber.

[waxen timber]

Thinking about it having something for the front window could be be nice because you could easier dock without using cameras (also maybe the visual looks)

[robust stirrup]

Yeah, the only thing I wouldn't like is not seeing out of the front.

I like positioning the Seatruck Dock so I can see things if I'm in the front cabin.

[waxen timber]

Well, maybe front could be mostly transparent or something with I guess some metal rings and such for aiming. (Or just the metal parts) And of course considering the size of Cyclops some beefy arms to attach somewhere to it.

But I feel like that idea may not really be very visually fitting.

[robust stirrup]

Yeah, I agree. Also, what happens to the cyclops when it docks? is it pulled into a completely linearly straight orientation? I feel like that would cause problems if there's a creature, wall, or other vehicle in that area.

Like, would they clip inside or get bonked, etc.

[waxen timber]

(not that familiar with the second game so not really sure) Maybe similarly to what happens with sea truck

[uneven warren]

Back to bases, lads

[cold path]

Something like that, yes.

[proud token]

Ive already gathered all the stuff in the mining site, goes to the delta station and grind titanium for hours in day 1

[proud token]

true

[echo island]

Finally finished my base hope y’all like it sry about the bad photo I’m using console and took it with my phone

[polar bough]

Concept I made in creative for a base in the void built so far that the leviathans don't even bother to spawn anymore

[little dew]

This is my first base

[polar bough]

Looks cool ngl

[neat vine]

thanks! I spent a while setting that up. might as well make it look good since we're there, right? 😄

the fish in the area like to hang around the plants too, it's cute

same in Below Zero too

[cold path]

I really thought I was missing some things when I saw your garden, but after looking at it a bit I realized it was from SN and not BZ. LOL So many things you can't plant in BZ... 😦

[neat vine]

Oh yeah sorry. This 'room' doesn't split the games; it's all of them. I miss all the planting items too. I'm in game now and such a small portion compared to the first Sub. But- still an amazing game. I'm in love with both of them 😄

[wintry sail]

This

[vivid rock]

i made this with my friend

[robust stirrup]

Main Kelp Forest/Safe Shallows/Grassy Plateaus base:

My hands are kinda in the way lmao.

[rose flume]

The number one problem with screenshots in this game 🤣
Although to be fair the game it self has a screenshot option that quickly hides those things 😛

[robust stirrup]

Yeah, it's really annoying for me to go to Steam, share it, then search through my files, than just screenshot it though.

It takes quite a bit longer. 😩

[rose flume]

@robust stirrup it's super simple on Steam to do it.

• Take a screenshot through the game it self with F11.
• Locate the screenshot inside of your PDA, as you may notice if you select the actual screenshot there is a "share" button at the bottom.

If you click that one it uploads it to Steam. From there just open the Steam overlay with shift + tab and open the "game overview" window (if not already open.

If you select that specific screenshot you can super quickly go to the location of whever the screenshot is located with this button (along with all other uploaded screenshots for this game):

[robust stirrup]

Haven't used overlay for that before.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[robust stirrup]

Oh no, I was so distracted by your instructions I didn't see your base until now.

Typical Thom

[rose flume]

But you're right, the windows screenshot feature is technically quicker. However this is generally much easier to get a good picture and it's maybe 10 seconds more work to make a couple of good screenshots upload them all at once and then just drag and drop the ones from your file system ^^

[robust stirrup]

Thanks Thom!

[rose flume]

I wasn't trying to show off my base, rather just showing how to quickly take a screenshot haha.

Because I am the "Solar Panel Expert™️" 😛

Also I am going to very quickly remove your messages between my explanation so I can pin the instructions for others to refer to if they want.

[tame aspen]

this my base

Minecraft is not Subnautica, please keep those in #memes-and-media

hmm, idk.

Thanks, I'll check it out next time!

excuse me is that a ghost leviathan in there

[wanton umbra]

LOL

i just wanted to see if it was possible

[pallid gyro]

how many times did you die trying to do that

[wanton umbra]

like 2 or 3

it took a little while tho

[pallid gyro]

It would have to

[wanton umbra]

i wanted to do a sea dragon but it was too big

[pallid gyro]

how would you even get that all the way up there?

[robust stirrup]

Lorge boi.

Good question.

[wanton umbra]

i would just use spawn

[robust stirrup]

Oh console commands?

[wanton umbra]

mhm

[robust stirrup]

[wanton umbra]

lmao

[robust stirrup]

Where’s the fun in that?

[wanton umbra]

its in the cage

[robust stirrup]

You could in theory make a base around a sea drag.

[wanton umbra]

true

takes too long

[robust stirrup]

But they’re likely to die of collision damage.

[wanton umbra]

i have to work on my mansion too

its empty on the inside

[robust stirrup]

Okey dokey.

[ancient stag]

How much titanium does bro have 💀

[smoky sorrel]

That would depend on which base you are referring to? If the one in the Dunes, each of those moonpools had storage rooms off of them. I used my cyclops as a mobile storage to gather everything on the map.

[ancient stag]

This one

[smoky sorrel]

I still had a lot left, but the game got too laggy. You can't see it in the render there, but the picture below those you linked shows the detail a bit closer. Each building had lots of plants. It made the jogging glass track you see there on that image really pretty to run along.

[dusk flare]

The walls do not have to be full. cage works too.

[robust stirrup]

Penatly Box 2, lmao.

[wanton umbra]

mansion is done

beedroom/kitchen

habitat room

kelp forest

other habitat

combat training room

[robust stirrup]

Where’s the water?

[wanton umbra]

water?

in the base?

or like outside of the base

[robust stirrup]

Lmao.

I noticed that you have a base flooding somewhere.

[wanton umbra]

ohh

thats in a different place

i was trying to build a leviathan cage right under floating island

[narrow shale]

It didn't explode it imploded

[waxen timber]

Still a pop

[wanton umbra]

pop indeed

[jagged yew]

He intentionally filled it as a ballast tank

Obviously

[cold path]

Equalizing the pressure…

[brave lava]

Rate the room design, it takes up 1/3 of a large room

[tropic saddle]

i hope that this counts

[empty geyser]

How long did it take you to build it

[wanton umbra]

couple hours

[cold path]

How did your fabricator fall off the wall? Definitely a nice cozy layout.

[tropic saddle]

runtime editor mod

it allows you to do so much
you can just literaly change the world

[cold path]

Cool

[hazy oasis]

awesome base yes eys

[gloomy horizon]

Not the best there is. I like surrounding the bases in Creepvine for light sources, to help find it. Similar to street lights.

[cold path]

They do put out some light.

[sage ivy]

It's a working progress but so far this is my base

I quite like it tbh

[polar cape]

Is the large room only in Subnautica Below Zero?

[tropic saddle]

no, recently it was added into the base game

[polar cape]

Do you know where I can find it or the blue print?

[pallid gyro]

It unlocks when you unlock the multipurpose room

[polar cape]

I play on my nitrox with my friend because multiplayer, and we have multipurpose room, but no large room.

[tropic saddle]

thats because you are playing on legacy, a version before the living large update (aka a version that added the large room)

[polar cape]

Is there a way to play the new version with multiplayer?

[tropic saddle]

no

not right now

[polar cape]

Damn

Do you have a photo of your base?

[tropic saddle]

what base?
i have a lot of bases

[tropic saddle]

one of them is here

[polar cape]

Your coolest, one not your biggest or smallest

[tropic saddle]

uuuh. im not sure if i have a collest one
hold on lemme find something

[polar cape]

Thanks I might just create my own world

[tropic saddle]

i have some old and new photos of this base (pictures are from newest to older)

[polar cape]

Cool!

[tropic saddle]

thanks!

[placid vine]

are those mods in there or no?

[tropic saddle]

yes

[placid vine]

i tried mods but didnt work

but that still looks super cool

[tropic saddle]

the main ones are fcs, decorations mod, building tweaks, snap builder, runtime helper and debug helper, nothing much tbh, but it allows to do so much
even just runtime helper allows to do too much. i love it

[rigid leaf]

Do you run those mods on the current version of the game or the 2018 version ? Also cool base ^^

[tropic saddle]

2018 (legacy)

also thanks!

[lavish tendon]

The cyclops is the deities gift to this wonderful base-building world

[cerulean zodiac]

You have learnt the ways of the underwater RV

[lavish tendon]

Uhhh I posted a screenshot here, did it violate the rules or something? It was a prawn suit and a cyclops

[lavish tendon]

Eh who am I kidding, the cyclops counts as a mobile base so cyclops pics kinda count as a sea base IG- unless someone tells me otherwise. I’ll spoiler it tho if that helps

Mobile base

[uneven warren]

Yeah man this is perfectly fine. The other one had some text with it so it was more of a meme which is why it was deleted.

[lavish tendon]

Aaaaah I understand!

[uneven warren]

Lovely picture though 🙂 that was one of my favorite spots to build a base pre-2.0.

[lavish tendon]

I’d probably do the same if there wasn’t a reaper on the other side of the mountain hahahaha

[rocky vapor]

Is there a way for me to transport energy from my base to some lights(they are not on the base)

(I have tried those electric leading poles)

(but they are only one way, aka to the base)

(ping me) (it's fine for me)

The reason I'm asking in #🏠awesome-bases is that I need it for an base I'm working on

It has like 40000 energy

(built in creative)

(I love building bases)

[uneven warren]

You should still ask these types of questions in #subnautica-chat. But no, you can't transfer energy from a base to lights unless they're a part of your base.

[rocky vapor]

Oh, ok

[rocky vapor]

Nice

[smoky sorrel]

Small floating island base. Medical bay room and moon pool roof garden

[cold path]

Very scenic area.

[robust stirrup]

The plants underwater look cool.

[smoky sorrel]

thanks

[gloomy horizon]

Below Zero base before finding habitat builder:

[robust stirrup]

Lmao 💀

[little dew]

Very impressive

[pseudo rain]

i bet yall's bases dont have this

[burnt iron]

A corvette how?

[pseudo rain]

not the car-

||enzyme 42|| is literally on my desk

[burnt iron]

Ohhh

But that’s also a thing how is a Chevy Corvette C7 ZR1 in there?

[pseudo rain]

idk found it in the aurora

[fast quest]

That's from Lifepod 7 actually

[burnt iron]

Hmmmm

Wait so that thing is in the game I didn’t know that

[lavish tendon]

Yeah, looked at it closely, it looks like a generic car based on a corvette

Think “great value vette”

[robust stirrup]

Man focused on the car.

[gloomy horizon]

I hope the name isn't too inappropriate, because I think it fits the Crash Zone perfectly.

[thorny river]

Should probably put this here too

[smoky sorrel]

My floating island base from underneath

[dusky folio]

where is that moon pool area

[smoky sorrel]

Under the island? What do you mean?

The floating island https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/504973599048859654/1126575286847295620/IMG_1282.jpg

In the center pool

[smoky sorrel]

Island base bedroom

[celest frost]

Wow thats cool

[celest frost]

Thats cool to

[smoky sorrel]

Thanks

[twin mauve]

Built this near the ||bulb zone entrance on the mountain side|| in creative. Has views of a trench, and reapers.

[inland shore]

subnautica base

subnautica below zero base

[twin mauve]

Why did you choose that twisting method instead of a simpler connection, like a tee, if you don’t mind my asking?

[inland shore]

because the 2 moonpools wouldnt have been simetricaly placed, and it wouldnt even have had space to do so

plus it looks cool

[twin mauve]

So moonpools can’t have long side entry? Huh, never noticed that.

[inland shore]

btw whats a tee if u dont mind me asking

like the tubes being a T

[twin mauve]

It is a piece shaped like a “T”. One in, two out.

[inland shore]

yh it wouldnt be cymetrical because on the side moonpool has 2 sides, it doesnt look as good as this one too, it would mess with my reinforcments too

[twin mauve]

Could probably rotate the moonpools 90° for it too. That is just me though.

[full ether]

ooooo floating island base, nice

[inland shore]

yeah i tought about that but the entrance would be blocked

[twin mauve]

Would probably put the hatches on the opposite side then, just so I had access either way.

Can always seaglide my way in a moonpool.

[inland shore]

i have hatches both side, it just more aesthetic and complies to the base structure

[sleek blade]

looks really nice

[thorny river]

Oh yeah I forgot to post the update didn't I

Need to interact here more probably

[tropic cypress]

How’d you get those planter tube things

[pallid gyro]

mods

[primal granite]

I have made a hotel called The Nautica Hotel

[tawdry coyote]

Cool!

[unborn perch]

I'm never going to need that much power, but...

[slate owl]

Main base what yall think

This is where i get my power tho

[cold path]

Hotness

If that’s where you get your power, how do those two sections connect? 1250m separation between those two?

[fading valve]

what is this

[primal granite]

That's a Warper

Or

A Self-Warping Quarantine Enforcer Unit

[crisp musk]

You're about to find out

[fading valve]

that scary af

they teleported me

[crisp musk]

They often dont kill you as you avoid them hitting you if you keep moving while/after they teleport you, for me they're mostly annoying

[slate owl]

Power transmittors

I have one other base in big blood kelp and one in bulb zone ls entrance as in betweens

[cold path]

But power transmitters don't transmit power from one base to another? Unless you have some mod that does that.

[slate owl]

No i used to this is on xbox however

I just have a set of thermal reactors not connected to the base

It all still comes from the same place

[cold path]

OK, gotcha.

[slate owl]

I do wish we could tho

[cold path]

Indeed. There are several things about the power transmitters I'd change, forcing them to take a specific path instead of jumping to the nearest one, for example.

You have one base building just a tad too far from the main one, and it has no power. They don't have extension cords in the future? LOL

[cold path]

My current Ice Base, 4th version. Every save it ends up a bit different because of difficulty placing rooms on the icebergs, this may be my favorite though, and definitely the largest so far. Planning to expand the alien containment to all levels, and add two more groups in the other tower. Garden area still a work in progress.

[fresh summit]

Made a whole plaza hotel

[cold path]

Yup! Could go lower on the left but can’t do any more on the right, and had to leave it symmetrical.

[hot helm]

Bunch of Shots of my Subnautica Main Base. Powered by 36 Solar Panels, 1 Bioreactor, and 1 Nuclear Reactor. Eventually I'll give it thermal power but not sure yet as the base has a Total of 5700 Power. The base is also bulit in a way so the Cyclops is in a U like shape of the base. The Base also has 30 Storage Lockers (15 per side of top large room) with 2 per side for Titanium and the rest being all the minerals except for salt which I never make a locker for anyway. Also got a Water Filtration Machine, Land Farm for TONS of Marblemelons and other Crops, also got all 5 of the main underwater resources needed for crafting.

Did this all on my OLED Switch

[cold path]

That's very cool. Be careful when you park the Cyclops that you don't crash into your buildings, I have to assume that could cause some damage to both. Love the overkill on battery/power cell chargers. LOL I usually place those in my moonpool or nearby area so I can swap for fresh batteries after every trip.

[hot helm]

Forgot to Mention that my Base Hull Strength is 80.4 Lol. But yeah I am careful with my Cyclops not to crash it into the base which I haven't done yet so Yay! Eventually with the Alien Containment in the Storage Room I want to fill it with Reginald's to the Cure and Store in the Cyclops along with the Water from the Filtration Machine for Long Journeys.

[slate owl]

Placing reinforcements and seeing the plus 7 is next level satisfatcion

[cold path]

That’s some hull strength! In my Cyclops I usually have a grow bed with lantern fruit and marble melons, those handle most all my food needs. Only a few bottles of water on standby just in case.

[hot helm]

Yeah I have a Lantern Fruit Tree and a Grow Bed with MarbleMelons but its mainly for if I'm Really Low on Something or just grabbing it before pulling the prawn out to go gather materials without needing to go back just for food or water.

[thorny river]

Fun little view
