[cold path]

Is there a subway to get around? 😂

[dull cairn]

fully survival base

[safe spire]

looks good man!

[smoky sorrel]

Bedroom and pictures in it.

[fading valve]

what do you think of my base?

[cold path]

Pretty functional. What are you using for power there?

[fading valve]

solar pannel and bioreactor

[cold path]

Solar may not be too great at that depth, depending on how many panels you have. I couldn't see any in the screenshot.

But the bio should be fine. 😉

[spark hinge]

Anyone else feel like there should be walls and a door for the multipurpose rooms?

Like... mainly for bathrooms and whatnot. And to put a door and walls between the ladder and the rest of the room. Idk about you guys but something about having a big open hole in the floor and/or ceiling in what's supposed to be a bedroom just... doesn't feel right. It's weird. It's like leaving your bedroom door open when you sleep, it's just not something that feels right.

[cold path]

I think that room size is too small for those to be practical.

Just make the MP room your bathroom, or closet, or whatever.

[spark hinge]

Maybe. I guess I wanted to have like... a cozy cabin type feel to the one I'm making in below zero. So a big room wouldn't really fit that.

[cold path]

Cabin you have to compromise on things...

I get what you're saying though.

[ornate escarp]

Believe me. I want that just as much as you do.

[terse phoenix]

Thoughts?

[fading valve]

@cold path if you want a closer look to my base

[wintry sail]

How long does it take you to align the cyclops door with the tube?

[terse phoenix]

I used the Cyclops docking mod it makes life so much easier.

[uneven warren]

The mod does it automatically once you get close enough.

[pseudo rain]

whats the power source

[terse phoenix]

I have 4 thermal reactors at the koosh zone linked to the base giving it 1000 power

[pseudo rain]

nice

[terse phoenix]

and I got the decorations mod to spice up the interior

[wintry sail]

Can people post interior designs of their base?

[waxen timber]

of course

[wintry sail]

I want to see it.

[waxen timber]

What

[terse phoenix]

let me hop in my world

[wintry sail]

There is a prawn suit figure?

[median robin]

W starter base?

Outside

1st floor

2nd floor

And any suggestions?

[crystal tangle]

anybody got some base room ideas for me to make right now i have a moonpool a large room with an alien containment and some plants for food and another large room for my water filtration a reactor and a cafeteria

[dull cairn]

what do u think of this one

[ornate escarp]

I like your bed choice. Very epic. :)

[terse phoenix]

In the decorations mod yes

[dull cairn]

ty

[wintry sail]

Focus on storage and power.

Once you get the cyclops deck it out with storage

[median robin]

added a large room

gonna add storage to it

and maybe some more bioreactors

[terse phoenix]

how can you use up so much space

for me the large room is too big

[ornate escarp]

You can section off areas via partitions.

Give yourself an office. A kitchen. Maybe even a bedroom. :)

[thorny river]

Starting a new survival world, current starter base

Not up to date, will post better version soon

[median robin]

update

[terse phoenix]

Bro why do you need so much space

[thorny river]

Because I'm awesome

[terse phoenix]

If this is your "starter base" then what will your permanent base look like

[terse phoenix]

See this is my compact design

Decorated to the max

[thorny river]

Ye it looks cool

[terse phoenix]

Are you going to decorate the whole interior of your base?

[thorny river]

Yes

Why wouldn't I lol

[terse phoenix]

Then you need the decorations mod and the snap builder mod to make your life easier

[thorny river]

I refuse

[spark hinge]

Man I wish there was more exterior decorations. At least for below zero considering how much land is there.

[cold path]

Agreed. Also wish something like snap tool were built in.

[gloomy horizon]

Sectioning off a small square to hide aware the submarine parts to have a more proper homelike feel in the submarine. Using the lockers as a wall to hide the bigger portion of the room. I think it's nice. If only I could put in a carpet. The trashcan is there to stop me form being able to walk through.

[fresh zinc]

can anyone give me any input on the best places to make a permanent base? Im new to the game and i am having trouble trying to find a good place to call home

[gloomy horizon]

Either find a beautiful biome that you like or a spot that it in the middle of every important thing you'll need to minimize going back for forth.

[fresh zinc]

any specific biome you recommend? i dont care so much about looks but more on resources

[gloomy horizon]

Mushroom, Grassy Plateaus or Grand Reef. Or just the Kelps.

[zinc pagoda]

do you guys like my base

[ornate escarp]

Centralized Moonpool. Nice!

[crystal tangle]

I like it

[pseudo rain]

smart idea

[terse phoenix]

It's a bit extended but it's cool

[lavish tendon]

Well here’s an ACTUAL set of base screenshots

[proud bramble]

Ummm

Survival i turned fog off for the pic but then turned it back on after

Lol

[lavish tendon]

Your cyclops just placed directly on top of the geologic floor is giving me anxiety LOL

[proud bramble]

Lol

I somehow got my cyclops into the safe shallows

Look in the corner look at all those

Lol game beating in 4 hours

The save is 12 hours

[dry wing]

Lost river I'd say for a practical standpoint

[dry wing]

Okay but why

[proud bramble]

Idk

[proud bramble]

The void

Its fun

[dry wing]

True very practical

[proud bramble]

To build in

Pra idk what that means

[fresh zinc]

The void

That sounds scary asf ngl

[dry wing]

Nah its harmless 😃

Definitely not leviathan filled 😃

[proud bramble]

Yea i love chillin in the void in sea moth and avoiding the ghost leviathans

[fresh zinc]

I just don't wanna get railed by a reaper leviathan while trying to build my base

[dry wing]

Starter base made me chuckle

[proud bramble]

Small

Lol

[crisp musk]

I got my current mainbase inside the LZ

[robust stirrup]

Lol

[crisp musk]

In the end game quite practical, you can plant everything regarding plants you need there, you got basically all ores there, and you can always make a small trip into the LR.

[robust stirrup]

But also, it's unnecessary.

[fresh zinc]

what is lz?

[robust stirrup]

They're also new to the game.

Lava Zone.

[crisp musk]

Lava zone, inactive to be exact.

I aint building in the active one, yet.

[fresh zinc]

are buildings made by the player effected by crush depth

[robust stirrup]

Yes.

[fresh zinc]

how deep can you go before you cant build then?

[robust stirrup]

You can always huild them at any depth.

But the deeper you build, the more hull integrity will be taken away when you add pieces.

[crisp musk]

With every 100 meters you go deeper with a base, you get a 0.1 structural integrity multiplier I believe.

[robust stirrup]

Something like that.

[fresh zinc]

oh i see

[crisp musk]

Aka, my main base has a 1.3x multiplier on it.

[robust stirrup]

I thought you said it was in ILZ.

[crisp musk]

Which is why I have my moonpools plastered with reinforcements.

Yeah, it's located between 1200 and 1300 meters.

[robust stirrup]

Also, #subnautica-chat is probably a better place for this discussion.

[robust stirrup]

Ah I mistook you for 1.3 total, not 2.3 per window, etc.

[crystal tangle]

Would it be any good of an idea to make like fake rooms with only hull reinforcement?

[ornate escarp]

I mean you CAN do that.

[smoky sorrel]

hah yeah Gotta enjoy those growbeds

[rigid leaf]

Color full

[rigid leaf]

Cool design with the big room surounded by the tubes !

[smoky sorrel]

Last one

[dull cairn]

ty

[bright vortex]

oh my god

that is MAGESTIC

[dull cairn]

?

[bright vortex]

the base

[bright vortex]

not yet
thats why it says "moonpool gonna be here"

also better view

[pseudo rain]

Step that up.

[bright vortex]

i know gamer

[pseudo rain]

I'll show my base later.

Unless I have photos already.

It's huge.

@bright vortex

Then I have this currently being built

[bright vortex]

n i c e

[dull cairn]

what is

[fathom delta]

making some rooms for my dunes research base

[robust stirrup]

I love the microscopes and lab equipment.

So fancy on counters.

[fathom delta]

i always collect the decorations

[robust stirrup]

Me too.

[jagged yew]

I would if I ever had free inventory space

[fathom delta]

i literally threw out my sea glide once to get a liquid analyzer off the aurora

[jagged yew]

I threw out my rebreather for one to put on the cyclops

Then I discovered they cant be placed in the cyclops

[robust stirrup]

A rebreather?

[ornate escarp]

I too am confused.

[robust stirrup]

I am too confused.

[jagged yew]

I was wearing the radiation helmet and that was the biggest thing in my inventory

[bright vortex]

i should make a dunes research base
thanks for the idea!

anyway
this is the fanciest fancy that ever fancied

[pseudo rain]

fancy shmancy, why are there plants on the roof? I like them

[bright vortex]

because, my gamer:
fancy isnt fancy without eco-friendly fancy

i got a fancy mini laboratory, fancy greenhouse, fancy moonpool, and a fancy bedroom that im still fancily planning out

also a fancy observatory and fancy scanner room

[pseudo rain]

Can I see the transition from the top large room to the parallel I corridor? I wonder if it's fancy too

[bright vortex]

one sec

lemme get back from raiding floating islands

some other fancy angles

the fanciest song (tropical eden) just started playing

[thorn talon]

I think mine is fancier than yours.

[bright vortex]

prove it

[pseudo rain]

He's right, sorry

[bright vortex]

holy mother of all things fancy

teach me your ways, fancylord

[fathom delta]

i want these so bad but i never have enough stalker teeth to do it lol

and i live at the dunes crater edge so its near impossible to gather a good ammount

[rose flume]

Plot twist, Ignis stole a save file from someone who had a random issue in one of the game chats and claims its his own now 😂

[robust stirrup]

Could definitely be possible

[cold path]

All Your Base Are Belong to Us

[robust stirrup]

Words to live by.

[cold path]

Great for new ideas to try out though.

[wintry sail]

Any storage geeks in here?

[cold path]

What’s up?

[wintry sail]

Any people here have their cyclops maxed with storage?

[cold path]

In an old save on the PS4, quite a bit. Just tonight built my cyclops on the Steam version, so nothing yet.

By the docking area, glass lockers all along the wall opposite the vehicle console, rotated 90 degrees to maximize density. Several wall lockers to the right of the vehicle console and probably to the left also. Downstairs as many wall lockers as I could cram in. Middle section more glass lockers along one side, grow bed on the other and some wall lockers there.

Going to be thinking on how I’ll do it this time. Several of the wall lockers were dedicated for small scanning bases, needed parts to build a scanner room, bio and thermal power, etc.

[sullen stirrup]

respect

no large rooms

[jade ridge]

im too scared to store stuff in it in case i lose my cyclops

[gloomy horizon]

I do, I have two.

one for deep below, one for surface.

[pseudo rain]

Where is the best place to build a base

[robust stirrup]

Depends on where you like to build, I’d say there is “best” place.

I’d prioritize things like access to resources, awesome views, and space/ambiance though.

Look for spaces with all of those and your bases will be awesome!

[gloomy horizon]

my flooded cyclops base in missile tower

[random niche]

1st base: grassy platues near the shallows and kelp forests.

2nd base: grassy platues by the mushroom forest and northern blood kelp zone

And then a small base (2 rooms or so) in the lost river

[wintry sail]

It isn’t a missile tower but okay

[robust stirrup]

Laser 🟰 Missile

[gloomy horizon]

Was tryin to say it in the least spoiler way I could tho, we all knew what I meant

[wintry sail]

How did you flood your cyclops in the moon pool?

[uneven warren]

It's not actually flooded but was parked so the water line cuts through it.

Cool trick for the picture though

[robust stirrup]

It happens with docked prawns (in moonpools).

[heady jacinth]

I have a base there too! Mine is ||underwater in the opening, with the sub parked behind it, inside. But there are a few spots where you can build inside out of the water||

[gloomy horizon]

yeah, the devs probably forgot. An oversight. or was too much work. Very small, doesn't effect the game.

[gloomy horizon]

I made a small pit-stop base in the mountains biome as the bottom. Rather nice.

[jade ridge]

my base is in the northwestern edge of the safe shallows, should i move?

[gloomy horizon]

I don't see any reason for you to. Unless you're being harassed by reapers on a constant basis.

[jade ridge]

nope the dunes are pretty far away

ah its in the western edge of the east safe shallows

(the larger one)

[balmy galleon]

Welcome to the cuddlefish area

[zinc pagoda]

yall like it so far?

[junior atlas]

More than I got. I’m just living the simple life in a scanner room bc it’s the only room I can get

[jade ridge]

rip

[random niche]

work in progress mountains/void base

[craggy mortar]

My first ever base!

No prettiness except for potentially the future alien column!

[random niche]

Tour of my WIP void base

ignore the part where i get stuck in a table

[random niche]

you can still access it after it crashes

it basically turns into a wreck

[pseudo wave]

first time base building

[azure terrace]

i am making a subnautica city
this is is a buling cotanining 21 apartmets with every one having 2 compartment parts so bed doesnt take whole apartment, it also has a reception with alien container coffe machinee and vending machine at the top
( rooms are devided by bulkhead)
what do you guys think?

[wintry sail]

Ignore the lag?

[gloomy horizon]

that's a nice way to never feel alone. Personalizing each room so they aren't all identical. Maybe some rooms are more dis-organized and messy than others.

[jade ridge]

but i might have to go back-
in a cyclops

[jovial quail]

i just have 1 base here and nothing else

[queen oasis]

I have a base under the map in below 0. Any ideas to make it look better

[hot helm]

I'm replying to my own Base Shots/Info post to make it easier to find but its a pretty good base and at a great location to build it in Base Subnautica! Eventually I'll post my Below Zero base but it isn't done yet so it'll be awhile.

[random niche]

its not laggy

just low fps

still easily watchable

[ornate escarp]

I don't think I've seen something so cursed before.

I applaud you.

👏

[bold grotto]

my new base

[wintry sail]

Telling us how to get there

[queen oasis]

Oh well I went into my seatruck attached with a teleporter and tried to go under the floor before the map could load in. Basically going turbo and hoping it works lol. The build part was easy since it just lets you build under the map for some reason. AAAAnnnd with the glitch to recharge an ion cube and had an easy way in and out of the map.

If you were to set up your base in the middle of the map you could have an easy way of traveling without having to deal with walls

[wintry sail]

If subnautica dev can fix their games. It would be fun.

[queen oasis]

No the more broken the better lol

[dusk flare]

I find the glitch happens mostly around my main base (couple large and multi rooms, ton of lockers).
It is very useful for getting under map to harvest resources clipped into inaccessible areas.
Be careful with your prawn!

[queen oasis]

Oh I know 😢

too many prawns lost to the void lol

[dusk flare]

Almost lost one when I discovered the loading glitch next to my base. Actually, lost it and had to load last save.
My base has a foundation landing strip now around moonpools and truck docks.

[gloomy horizon]

Going to slowly start making a big base in ||the dunes|| if anyone is experienced in doing this, it would be nice having some tips.

[smoky sorrel]

I built this one in the Dunes. It was so large it wouldn't render until I got close. You can see the detail in the second picture. I would suggest building in the sinkhole, as it has significant thermal power

[gloomy horizon]

||https://i.redd.it/2yugpbwgxer61.png|| I got the base at 300, -1800, I think is right, by the big arch.

I'm playing in Survival, so I won't end up making a base that huge. Would take me forever to get that much titanium.

[smoky sorrel]

Mine was in survival. It did take forever lol

[smoky sorrel]

Big arch I think is right up the way from the crater though, so you can still get that thermal power in addition to your nuclear if you go that route.

[gloomy horizon]

by crater, you are referring to the crater edge/void?

[smoky sorrel]

Technically I think they called it the "sinkhole"

[gloomy horizon]

I'm by the other arch, next to the void. That's a bit too far

[bright vortex]

ladies and gentlemen boys and girls

botany

[jagged yew]

Move very slowly so the reapers dont hear you

[jagged yew]

The greatest botanist on the planet

[gloomy horizon]

Keep your eyes on them at all times, swim the opposite direction that are turning. Reapers are quite fun when you stop being afraid of them.

[pseudo rain]

Going from a larger two story base to a smaller one story one

My current one In that picture is to big so I want a smaller one 😭

[bright vortex]

i am ready for a zombie apocalypse

[jagged yew]

Its a reference to the martian

The joke is that your the ONLY botanist on the planet and therefore, by default, are the best.

[bright vortex]

oh

just like how im the best captain

cyclops isnt even 🦑ding

[cold path]

Well, not exactly…. There is someone else out there with a greenhouse…

[jagged yew]

In the martian, the main character is stranded alone on mars and has to grow food there. In the movie he says hes the “greatest botanist on the planet” after successfully growing crops

Because hes the only person on the planet

[cold path]

Yes, I know. Love that movie. But Riley in SN isn’t the only person on the planet.

[pseudo rain]

I've never used a large room for a base

[rich egret]

Not even squidding

[jade ridge]

a worse one tho

[dim bobcat]

This good? This is my first time actually trying with a base

[pseudo rain]

10/10

[dim bobcat]

Ty

[warm spindle]

My first time making a base that isnt just a tube with a moonpool

[cold path]

Very nice

[pseudo wave]

first base on below zero

[cold path]

Looks good. One thing I don’t like about having a base piece flat on a foundation is you can’t remove the foundation later without dismantling the base piece first.

[jagged yew]

Construction has begun

Its current deepest point is around 500-600m. I plan to take it down to 1000-2000 before building a fully functioning base down there.

Its gonna take a LOT of titanium.

[digital wagon]

Oop

I did this once lol

Let me know if anything... Interesting happens

[jagged yew]

Its already been one of the most nerve wracking things ive ever done in this game. I havent quite reached the border where the ||ghosts|| start spawning, but I have no clue when I will break through it and have one sneak up behind me.

Plus the majority of my building so far has been at night in pitch darkness, with only the prawn suit headlights for visibility

[queen oasis]

Knowing how my void base went you should start seeing them after you build a bit forward into the void maybe like 6 or 8 compartments in. Though not sure how deep, you could be going down and never bump into them. But I only have knowledge on below-zero void bases.

[pseudo wave]

whenever i go into the void even at the surface i get attacked by them big ol blue gummy worms

[queen oasis]

well I guess that answers that question.

[dusk flare]

nah. Currently at 5k+ in BZ. That takes a lot of titanium.

[jagged yew]

I may take it deeper if I can find the titanium. I built a mining outpost in the lost river specifically to scan for titanium deposits

[dusk flare]

as far as I know, subnautica has much more titanum than BZ, since bigger map. In BZ, I'm actually running out of titanium now after stripping whole map.

you may encounter dev-floor as you go deeper.

[dim bobcat]

I like building bases but idk what to put in multi purpose rooms

I don’t want it be looking bland inside

[cold path]

I generally don’t do a lot on the insides, other than the alien containment to breed fishies.

[hidden moat]

Made a new base with a greenhouse to the right of it

[pseudo rain]

very nice

[queen oasis]

Wait, 15 plasteel, 15 enamelled glass, 5 lubricants, 5 advanced wiring kits and 15 leads. 👏

Now that's determination

[smoky sorrel]

I see you also like to make docks for your cyclopes. Nice

[zinc verge]

my BZ base vs my Subnautica base. powered through both these games in the past 2 weeks to get the plat for both

decided to put a lot of my efforts into base building and taking my time with the game this time

[limber walrus]

That's lovely, I'll take a room please.

[thorn bough]

I love how everyone in this game makes an observatory sticking out of their base with a commander’s chair in the middle for philosophical pondering and reflection

[uneven warren]

I like using the benches to turn it into a little meditation chamber.

[thorn bough]

i thought i was so original when i did that

[fallen garden]

💀

[pseudo rain]

i made one out to the void so i could ponder in the darkness like batman

[dusk flare]

I have had a special one.
The kings throne.
The employee inside served as a bait, and the seat was for their comfort.
It was on top of the box from 2nd pic.

[heady jacinth]

I don't have chairs, generally. That's the yoga spot, need room for the mat...

[thorn bough]

ghost leviathan jail is neat

[pseudo rain]

void chelicerate*

[queen oasis]

wouldn't it just disappear after you get out of its range

[sacred patio]

I love your profile picture

[queen oasis]

who mine?

[sacred patio]

Yes

[queen oasis]

oh thanks, though your profile is better

[sacred patio]

Thank you 🙂

[dusk flare]

Worse.
I mean, it does stay in cage once caged for like 500m back into regular play zone.
But, if you stay in void zone, and go down 500m vertically, they despawn.
Then respawn on top of you.
That was very... surprising... thing to find when building a vertical pipe, after spending several hours building the ultimate cage.

[queen oasis]

Yea that can get annoying when you want to build to the bottom of the void lol

[dusk flare]

Can confirm it is annoying.

[queen oasis]

Yea I just stopped halfway down in my build but maybe u can make it down to the bottom

[dusk flare]

If all titanium on the map suffices, sure

[queen oasis]

I mean ye it would take a lot of drilling but it would be worth it

[lavish tendon]

Some little pics of my BZ bases room decor! And uh- some machinery set-up, I swear six water filters being in the same room as two nuclear reactors is incredibly safe

[ornate escarp]

Nice choice of a blanket.

[lavish tendon]

Parvan had impeccable taste in room decor, I had to steal it

Also ngl I kinda wish ||Al-An had some kinda conversation thing with the Alien Intruder poster, for very plot-relevant reasons|| lmao

[celest frost]

What is that bed. I need it

[lavish tendon]

Parvan’s bed in Below Zero lol

[celest frost]

I just started my new hardcore world. I gotta play the whole game again til i get to parvans bed

[median robin]

starter base in below zero. suggestions?

[dry field]

this is my base theres everthing u need including 2 alien containments

[lavish tendon]

Idk maybe? I can’t remember when BZ first came out/when the alien intruder stuff was brought in, but it sounds pretty similar

Never hurts to get more water-per-cycle either

[median robin]

update

[cold path]

Don't get too attached to that location. The life pod isn't very central to the map and you'll be going out of your way a lot. But I usually build a small base near the pod since the fabricator is there from the start.

[uneven warren]

Nothing wrong with a slightly longer travel time in exchange for nice views.

Twisty Bridges are gorgeous, well worth calling home.

[median robin]

yeah

[median robin]

anything i should add though?

[median robin]

made a base in creative bc i was bored

actually looks like a good base idea

[elder rune]

Grand Reef base? Nice

[median robin]

might attempt to make this in survival

[lavish tendon]

Speaking of twisty bridges homes…

[celest frost]

A base

[celest frost]

Looks great

[cold path]

Two truck docks on one base, nice! Moonpool on the far end it looks like? I usually have my moonpool right next to the truck so I can park my Prawn to charge up easily.

[celest frost]

And im dumb and I dont likt to play with my base shapes likes its a damn puzzle

[gritty pine]

I did some pics of my current base. It's not finished yet. But it was a request.

[bright vortex]

george

[buoyant parrot]

bio reactor on the fish tank, i just find it funny and scary cause of the weight of the machine and glass

[bright vortex]

looney tunes type stuff

[gritty pine]

But very practical and a basin with Oculus.

[smoky sorrel]

Yeah, I like it

[celest frost]

Wait if i put a bioreactor on an ACU it automaticly refills?

[waxen timber]

no

[manic needle]

my based base

[tropic saddle]

Bro thats like idk 188 quartz if i counted correctly

How many reinforcements do you have?

[manic needle]

14

i have no idea how it stands

especially 911m deep

[high kettle]

Twisty bridges was so nice to love in for my first playthrough :)
I had a base right outside of it, and it was deep enough to work for everything I needed, I’d get a picture if I could

[high kettle]

Its good, but you’ll want a place closer to delta station. Either the twisty bridges, lilypad islands, or just in a good central point

[lavish tendon]

Can confirm, I wanted a second truck dock incase I ever wanted to store extra modules- a bit less ideal than having a second cab docked tho since the modules only “dock” with a dab attached, but it works! I also wanted a specific shape for the base so I chucked it in the back lol

Speaking of base stuff, I’ve got a sortof relaxation room in the works- this is my progress [Original pictures can be found in this photo dump #memes-and-media message ]

[celest frost]

Daaaaamm

[dull copper]

That's crazy.

[celest frost]

Hahah

[smoky sorrel]

Jellyshroom base progress

This is my attempt at a speaker system

[pseudo rain]

I wish aligning furniture was easier, I really love your work

[smoky sorrel]

Thanks

[pseudo rain]

Question: Do you often use items as decoration? Like coffee mugs and wiring kits that you drop in the water and then bring them in using a moonpool and propulsion cannon?

[random niche]

i love how you use aquariums

personally i go crazy for symmetry

patterns make my monke brain have good chemical

[random niche]

you have just given me the best base building tip ive heard in a looong time

[pseudo rain]

You can bring boxes and lockers from wrecks, if you want it feeling extra cozy, however it's hard to control

[uneven warren]

You can just drop them in your base, can't you? Also you can pull crates and even forklifts to your base using the Prawn's prop cannon.

[random niche]

nah you cant

maybe in bz

?

[pseudo rain]

Unfortunately, no :(

[smoky sorrel]

thanks

[smoky sorrel]

I don't like to have lose items in my game. it makes it extra laggy and it is already laggy enough when I get all of the flora planted and my base decorated.

So I try to make do with buildables.

[pseudo rain]

Do you use lab equipment then?

[smoky sorrel]

Yeah. I will even stack it to make shapes. Like here you can see my store's "register"

Here I tried to make a restaraunt "grill"

[pseudo rain]

Oh my, that's creative

[random niche]

old base i made in 2022

i remember being so proud of this lol

[random niche]

I finally finished my largest base yet, this took weeks. Im gonna upload a tour to youtube soon, probably tommorow.

100% survival BTW

[jovial quail]

why

[rancid oriole]

Oh my god

[little grail]

Holy Guacemole that's huge!

[random niche]

yeah this one took me a while

[little grail]

It's so symmetrical

imagine if you added a 3rd moonpool so you could have 2 seamoths 1 for exploration the other for murder and an extra prawn suit for murder.

[random niche]

It has a hydroponics room, control room, aquarium room, library, bedroom, 2 observatory rooms (regular ones scare off ghosts), a cafe and an indoor garden. The large room has a small cafe, lab and a large workshop.

WIP survival base~

[reef matrix]

I have a great base idea, but I don't have the guts to do it, lol: A base with lots of windows, glass roofs, and observatories, it's behind the Aurora. Make sure to make it tall, so that you can add lots of lights to see all the reapers at night. Bonus if you're world is like a creative one I found, where it has a slight piece of grass, this changing the water color to green.

[analog canyon]

I can make that come to life

I'm working on a base (in creative) cuz I don't wanna grind but hopefully one day I'll do it in survival

||lost river base in the garg skeleton||

[oblique dirge]

realized too late that i needed more planters lmao. now i have to do some mild overhaul on one section of the base.

left or right?

ignore the amount of planters and spacing for now

[long crane]

Right

[oblique dirge]

current layout is woefully not enough if i want to make nice looking planters that has all outdoor plants

[lime cobalt]

So many purple

[oblique dirge]

im using gel sacks for planting guides so i dont accidentally make the wrong layout :))

but most of the flora are purple-ish indeed

[oblique dirge]

mockup for my survival base, on creative

i was asking which one looks better lol

it's too close to the L compartment thats on your moonpool

[coarse vortex]

Sometimes it’s more like a border thing

[oblique dirge]

a base piece doesnt necessarily have to clip into terrain or other base pieces for it to be unbuildable

sometimes it's just too close to something else

[coarse vortex]

Probably because it’s attached to what you placed above it

[oblique dirge]

you have to deconstruct base pieces in order of attachments to pieces you put over other pieces

therefore foundations are only able to be deconstructed last

if you want to remove a foundation it's sitting on, yes

[coarse vortex]

Y E P

[oblique dirge]

painge

this is why i make mockups in creative before building anything even slightly elaborate lmao

i have no idea if there's any console commands bc im using a mod

[oblique dirge]

added spotlights and some more bubble windows bc theyre adorable. structure is officially complete, now to start actually gardening and finishing the interior

I need a base design for a look out room. Anyone have anything that I can get ideas from>

What I have so far

I give up.

I saved and it didn't save. One hour of progress is done. I am so close to deleting the world.

[rigid leaf]

When you save it actually takes a few seconds (icon on top left of your screen). If you leave before it's done, you ll be ducked.

[rigid leaf]

Well this place. It's called awesome bases... I mean it speaks for itself. Scroll in this section to get ideas

[craggy thunder]

And in case you didn't know, in the top right corner, you can use the search bar to strictly look for images/ videos of bases

[mild halo]

bit small

[cold path]

Foundation question, is there any way to get a foundation to be placed at some point above or below another foundation, or is that totally blocked by the game mechanics? I want to complete a large foundation under my base, but want to have a few foundation tiles higher up for solar. I had another issue earlier placing a foundation underneath a moonpool, it wouldn't let me place it, I had to remove the moonpool first, make the foundation, then put the moonpool back.

Will get some pics posted later tonight, I'm still working on the grow beds outside.

[uneven warren]

Yeah game gets tricky with them. There is a way, you just have to awkwardly build up to where you want them. It's hard for me to explain through text.

[cold path]

Hmmm. Knowing that it's possible helps. What I think you may be thinking of is starting far enough away that the game thinks it's a different base, then build over to where these appear to overlap? If so, that wouldn't work correctly for me since I want to use the upper foundation for power, and can't relay power from one base to another.

[uneven warren]

Depends where exactly you build your base but yes, that could work.

You can also "staircase" stagger them upwards.

[cold path]

I'm just off Gun Island, maybe 50m underwater.

NW side by the gun.

I think I still have some room to expand over towards the shore higher up. But I had some ideas for different things involving multiple levels of foundation overlapping. I have to assume this is blocked so that the foundations that overlap don't keep adding to base strength, but it would seem a simple thing to prevent a duplicate foundation from adding strength in the code.

[cold path]

Work in progress, still working on the outside plants.

Two moonpools in there behind the large rooms to the left. Elevated foundation to make getting the prawn inside easier.

[median robin]

all of my starter bases (both bz and original subnautica)

which ones better

[cold path]

Overall I like BZ better, so I have to go with that one... 😉

[rigid leaf]

BZ offers way cooler base building options ^^

[rose flume]

The base options are mostly the same in both games though. The biggest difference is the control room because of the color changing system.

Unless you mean the biomes, then yeah. Overall there are some neat biomes in Below Zero 🙂

[leaden cradle]

I want to make a little sitting area or food area.

Can someone send me ideas or pictures of what they have?

[rigid leaf]

Also more base decorations ^^ (bed, posters, objects, ...) And the jukebox!

[robust stirrup]

Jukebox is amazing.

[viral heath]

Easily one of my favourite additions in BZ...Its amazing

[robust stirrup]

It’s so nice to be able to choose your own base music.

It’s cool that you can import your own music too.

[ornate escarp]

Bro forgot about toilets.

[robust stirrup]

And showers. Personal hygiene, people!

[rose flume]

But what other use does the ocean have at that point any more? 😛

[rose flume]

Shame on me for forgetting the Jukebox yeah xD

[dusk flare]

The most important addition is the refrigerator. I like my food fresh, folks.

[robust stirrup]

It’s still marginally drinkable.

[spare beacon]

man subnautica has alot of secrets to show us but i do want to add some fan made leviathans that people drawed

[oblique dirge]

WIP big base

[oblique dirge]

wait forgot to add a disclaimer, this base is made on creative, but i will replicate it in my proper survival save file

[ornate escarp]

Sounds like a good idea!

[pseudo rain]

It's grindin' time

[oblique dirge]

added a new wing for creating replicas of certain biomes based on hatchable eggs. total 7 alien containment units with 2 stack each for safe shallows, kelp forest, grand reef, bulb zone, jellyshrooms, blood kelp, and ||inactive lava zone||

goodness im gonna need so much glass

[smoky sorrel]

And reinforcements

[oblique dirge]

hull strength is at 8.3, im glad its safe lol

i might remove more glass components to (try and) reduce lag

[oblique dirge]

this is going to cost 1000 titanium

[oblique dirge]

together with the other outpost i planned i would need to grind a whopping 1136 titanium, 99 quartz, and 303 glass

and i havent calced the materials i need for modules like fabricators and such
starting to think i should cut myself some slack and nocost the furniture and decor items like plant walls.....

[dusk flare]

My current project ate around 5k titanium so far and needs couple thousand more. So go out and mine these ores 😂

[oblique dirge]

honestly at this rate, yes im concerned ab the materials needed but i am more concerned ab the possible lagging and fps drops this base might cause

[robust stirrup]

Lol

[cold path]

It’s worth it though.

[rancid oriole]

Like 50-60 metal scraps and you're good ngl

No wait

Over 100 metal scraps

[oblique dirge]

id need well over 200

[rancid oriole]

Good luck grinding

Bro named his Cyclops Titan 💀

[smoky sorrel]

Titanus. I was building a Power Rangers themed base. I had 2 seamoths and 2 prawns for each "color" of Power Ranger. The cyclops was the super combined power of them "forming up" lol

[magic rose]

I had a golden cyclops, I don't know if I named it tho

[sudden prawn]

[gray plinth]

My small survival base

[pseudo rain]

What site is that for base calculations

[dusk flare]

If it works the same in BZ and OG, you only get a long lag when building/deconstructing a module. My veeeeeery long base gives me couple second hiccup. But regular things like swimming on the map or using the base, no lag at all. Other bases build normally, its perhaps some kind of integrity recalculation when building new pieces on current project.

[oblique dirge]

i didnt know that, reassures me a lot. ive never built a base using this many components lol

[oblique dirge]

just a calculator spreadsheet i whipped out real quick in excel.

its basically a bunch of sum operations and multiplications and certainly disorganized

i couldve made a hull integrity calculator as well but i cant be bothered

[verbal girder]

My Strider-thingy research station. (took forever to capture it).

[cold path]

That is pretty cool. Cruel, but cool. 😂

[magic rose]

Idk about Half Life but you are truly..... Half Hearted

[verbal girder]

I don't think I can catch any other leviathans - they'd probably break the base, or swim outside of it before I manage to "close the gap".

[calm coral]

tryna do some interior designing

[calm coral]

while looking at it, i had the idea to put the aquarium in front of the bed and behind the bench and put a little computer/tv area, was going to pick between the previous version and this one but i might go with this one. Elfezor infinite universe destroyer (My Cuddlefish) is enjoying the addition.

[smoky sorrel]

So dark I had to brighten the image! I liked this design for Sea Treader. You could watch them walk by and it was compact enough to have everything you needed. The first image is my Sea Treader zone city. It follows the path out of sight with various buildings.

[robust stirrup]

Super cool design! Might have to try that myself sometime!

[smoky sorrel]

Thanks!

I love sea treaders man, they could be just my fav leviathan. Either way good dude

[sick grove]

you have to be my fav mod these base builds are awesome!!

[cursive cobalt]

how do i send pics?

[pseudo rain]

How do you get the glass roof for the large room?

[pseudo rain]

You unlock it at the same time you unlock the MP room

Ik but the glass roof

I try to make it but I just can’t find it or it won’t let me

u can see in the reply I did

What I mean

[pseudo rain]

... you unlock it at the same time. You can only put MP domes in MPs and Large room roofs in large rooms

But you get all of them when you scan a MP room

But how do u place the roof?

It shows no where on the habitat builder hud

[pseudo rain]

It's there. You can't have structures above it, I think

Alr

I don’t have any structure tho

Above it I mean

Do u use glass for it?

[pallid gyro]

enameled glass for both the mp dome and the large room dome

[pseudo rain]

Ohh so ur saying the large room dome only has a clear roof?

[pallid gyro]

?

[pseudo rain]

Like it has a glass roof only

Not like a see through room

Where the floor and walls is see through

[pallid gyro]

the dome is only gonna make the roof glass

[pseudo rain]

Ok Ty

I want to invest in a good base with like several rooms, 2 moon pools, observatories, etc. Where do you recommend me building it? (I wanna make it like 1 floor tall)

Anyone have any good base design for a sitting area or a battery and cell charging room?

[leaden cradle]

What are you using to do that??

food

[smoky sorrel]

You can do a search for my bases in this section. I usually have some seating areas and uses for batter/powercells. One recent use is making a stereo-looking thing in one of my bases with both of them.

[rigid leaf]

Well you want plenty of energy right? I propose 2 base design. First would be anywhere close to the surface with plenty of solar panels (yield decrease with depth. Building close to surface is more efficient). Second design could be in lava zone or close to thermal vents and using thermal plants.

One exemple of thermal plants -> https://youtu.be/UlVEnAWiOXM?feature=shared. @ 12:40 so you don't have to watch the rest of the boring base design

[dawn briar]

Yep lol, thx for looking at my base, and yeahvi know it's way overkill but that's how I wanted it

[oblique dirge]

the material calculation?? just an excel spreadsheet

[edgy nymph]

to make the images smaller i think is what he meant

It's nice. If you are on PC, you should add a lot of cool photos to your screenshot folder and do stuff like hallway direction menus, laboratory ||kharaa|| readings, water pressure graphics for your water filters etc. Just ideas!

[random niche]

Yeah, i did stuff like that with the control room but now im thinking i should add some more picture frames to the lab area

[smoky sorrel]

You could add hyrdroponics readouts for your garden room, poster board fliers, office building graphs/charts, a cafeteria menu (you can tell I wish I was playing on PC atm lol)

Is there no screenshot option on console?

[smoky sorrel]

There is. You can take one by pressing down the left joystick (L3 on PS5). Some just find it bothersome to transfer their photos. You can also take the screenshot using the built-in function on the console for screen recording. On PS5, you can just download the PS App and then it transfers it right to your phone and you can post it here. That's where I posted my video for my base from #🏠awesome-bases message

base go brrrrrrr

[vast oxide]

ah

i kinda thought that too when i found out bout subnautica, never played it when i first found out bout it bc no pc

no steam

[amber valve]

guys

its time to say goodbye to my base

im about to lift off in the neptune rocket

it served me well

[vast oxide]

save it

save the game

[amber valve]

i did but i dont think ill come back to that save anytime soon

since i beat it

subnautica is a great game but kinda gets boring when u dont have a goal

[vast oxide]

yeah

wanna know somethin

like 20 minutes i started a creative world i cured kharra and built the neptune

[amber valve]

cool

i took my time on that save

like REALLY took my time

[vast oxide]

damn

nice man

[smoky sorrel]

You could always add external decoration and glass so you can see it from inside or outside of your base.

[amber valve]

nah i feel it would be better if i just left it

i left a nice message in the time capsule ping me if any of u stumble across it

it has my user on it

its same as my discord name

[smoky sorrel]

I'd advise not to put your username on it and resend it.

What system?

[amber valve]

idk

but since i didnt save right before the launch i shoudl be ok

[vast oxide]

why?

dont mind me asking

[smoky sorrel]

Many users leave them on TCs and then may later want it removed because they get spammed a lot randomly. It's just better not to put it.

[amber valve]

Alright I’ll go back and change it

Thanks for the heads up

I might do some trolling and put my mates user in it

[grim ibex]

That's just rude

[amber valve]

I won’t don’t worry

[blissful sky]

What is giving this yellowish light??

[analog hemlock]

The creepvine

Those green algae with yellow seeds

[blissful sky]

I planted many of them.. none give such a glow

Those look very nice with the light

[smoky sorrel]

If you cut the creepvine, it will plant the vine. If you harvest a Creep Seed Cluster, it will plant the full plant with a glowing seed cluster.

[blissful sky]

thanks man.. that is news to me.. lolz

[smoky sorrel]

Cool. Glad it helps.

Fyi, memes/reactions/etc only in #memes-and-media 😉

[analog hemlock]

You have to do it in groups, I used 3 per corner

Well no thats too much

Around 2 per planting

[grim ibex]

Wait, reactions aren't allowed outside of memes-and-media?

[smoky sorrel]

Meme reactions and gifs, not discord-based reactions. 😉

Apartment building in Safe Shallows. From a 2x2 starting base to a huge warehouse with an apartment, rest area and docks. Powered by solar panels, biowaste and thermal vent.

[smoky sorrel]

Nice job. Could use some exterior flora for landscaping to be a true apartment complex 😛

[cosmic wasp]

I have a base that consists of a large room surrounded by 5 normal rooms. My large room is a aquarium and storage, one room is a bedroom, one a garden, one an office, one is suposed to be a dinning room, what should I do with the last one?

[rigid leaf]

It seems like all new players took some design lessons. "In my youth" ppl were already happy to live in a single tube habitat ^^

[real thicket]

Yes, I look at the bases of other players and admire. This is my first time building something with large rooms. I liked how much I could fit in them, but I didn't have the flexibility of the layout for anything serious. I really wish there were more decorative elements in Subnautica.

In general, the idea for this base came when I saw how the docks ideally adjoined the large room.

[kind inlet]

Yeah I want to do something with 2 moonpools kinda tucked "underneath" a large room, but the plan didn't work because the antennae of the moonpool clips. I could put it down one layer, or move it back one but it just doesn't look like I wanted it to look.

The lack of decoratives is why I don't typically like making MEGA mega bases. It's too hard to fill that many rooms with anything more than alien containments. I know there's mods, but I usually only like QoL stuff at most.

This is my biggest, my second & main base on my first save file.

[cosmic wasp]

Any idea? 🥺

[pseudo rain]

Lab? There's lots of cool furniture and items to use

[cosmic wasp]

Ive got the office that gas all the lab related items

[kind inlet]

What is your power solution, I'm guessing solar or thermal and you don't need a room for it?

You could replace the 5th one with a scanner room if you don't already have one? Even if you don't really need to "scan" in that area, it's at least something that has a purpose to exist in the base.

You could split the labs up purpose-wise as well. Generally, if you want to decorate in this game you're gonna have to get used to "flavours" of lab haha.

Have the 'office' be focused on, say, studying fauna (toss an aquarium in there, maybe some picture frames of different leviathans), and then have another room being studying plants and just have a bunch of planters and wall planters to sell the visual?

[olive cipher]

when is Subnautica 2 coming out

[cold path]

Probably 2025, maybe…

[rigid leaf]

For lab, drop an bioreactor to serve as sample incinerator. Also helps get rid of unnecessary plants while making useful power.

[ornate escarp]

There is no ETA also why ask here?

[tropic saddle]

Because subnautica 2 will allow to create awesome bases 😎

[cold path]

Unless they remove base building...

😱

Maybe we will get put in charge of bio engineering and have to develop new peepers.

Leviathan class peepers...

Better view of the base itself

[sharp wyvern]

Um, guys, do you think that is a good idea make my base in the gigant mushroom biome?

[pseudo rain]

One of the safest places, it's just a little cramped in some areas

[dawn stream]

is it weird that i use base subnautica to build bases but use decorationsmod

[pseudo rain]

Nope

[sharp wyvern]

Ok bro, thanks

[abstract frigate]

not to special, but It's mine and I love it

[pseudo rain]

Love the layout

[hearty loom]

@pseudo rain jellyshroom base so far

havent filled out the inside yet but this is just the skeleton for now

[pseudo rain]

Ooooo, can't wait to see the inside

[hearty loom]

bedroom 👍

made other rooms but theyre kinda boring rn

storage mostly

[pseudo rain]

Here's a pro tip, if you have a good PC: you can use moonpools and propulsion cannon to leave items in shelves/desks. You leave the base and drop items such as coffee mugs or wiring kits, then, you pick them up with prop cannon and enter the base through the moonpool. You can then place the items wherever you want!

[hearty loom]

Oh wow

ill make sure to remember that

Thanks!

[earnest kelp]

how do you get bases to be so shiny?

there always matte when i build them

[rain stone]

Isn't there like filters?

[earnest kelp]

ya i found it but thank you anyway

[red flower]

This may sound dumb but, why does it require a good pc? Is it because the item constantly refreshes in the back ground or??

[pseudo rain]

It's because it can get pretty laggy

[azure silo]

kinda work in progress base.

[azure silo]

its hard to get into the moonpool..

[kind inlet]

Very nice. It's hard to get nifty bases like this in the shallows sometimes

Yeah moonpool is exactly why haha

[azure silo]

ima show you in a lil bit where the moon pool entrance is

[cold path]

In the shallows my moonpool is almost at sea level most of the time.

[kind inlet]

I want to do a build in each biome eventually. For the shallows I'm probably gonna try a microbuild.

[cold path]

Cool plan.

[azure silo]

nice!

[versed pebble]

Pretty Nice

[versed pebble]

Is it modded

?

[pale idol]

no

[versed pebble]

How did you get the cargo Crate

[kind inlet]

Propulsion cannon :)

Pick one up and move it

[versed pebble]

Oh

[kind inlet]

Genius idea btw definitely stealing that, I never thought of it before that's awesome!

[pale idol]

prop canon. but because it's regular batteries, transporting stuff drains them fast

[versed pebble]

yeah

Im trying TO get my Void Base Screenshot In here but I cant

But ill figer it Out

[dusk flare]

prawn suit cannon?

[pale idol]

i don't have any vehicles yet but prawn canon is better and equipping 2 arms allows transporting 2 objects

in below zero prawn prop canon can move stuff that normal prop canon can't

[azure silo]

a never before seen land base!

[azure silo]

dont ask HOW i got a prawn suit stuck on the glass dome of the multipurpose room

[pseudo rain]

Sorry to inform you, but all my bases are out-of-water.

[azure silo]

oh

thats fine

[robust stirrup]

Cats hate water, you know?

[azure silo]

i got >2000 fps before

[robust stirrup]

what

[azure silo]

not kidding

[robust stirrup]

I run my games at a silky smooth 10 fps

[azure silo]

that isnt really smooth to me like bro, 10 fps??

[pseudo rain]

Same, sometimes 15

[robust stirrup]

idek what the actual number is, haven't checked.

I feel like opening another window would turn it into google slides

[azure silo]

heres a better screenshot of the other side

[pseudo rain]

That MP room tower is asking for some windows

[azure silo]

i forgor💀

[robust stirrup]

There are three domes, and an observatory Andy, lol.

[pseudo rain]

The other 2 floors look so sad though :(

Also, would love to see a fully decorated interior, out-of-water bases usually get really cool views

[azure silo]

i was almost like Ffamily friendly

because i realised

i couldnt reach a part of the base outside of water

also its in and out of water

adding interior sooner or later.

once im done, i will do all screenshots in one message

react with a emoji for a coffee machine + vending machine in the X compartment

and a if no

guess its a yes!

i couldnt place a vending machine in it

[azure silo]

finished result!

[azure silo]

also btw you kinda cant see the decorated interior from the outside.

can i have a break-

[pseudo rain]

No trees...?

[viscid kettle]

if u started to drill the base with the prawn suit would the base start leaking water?

[azure silo]

No, though it does make a lot of sense

[harsh coral]

Why would yoy do that

[pale idol]

dear devs, game is absolutely unplayable. why are objects that are only supposed to be underwater and in no way were intended being used as interior decorations aren't being lit as everything else in interior?

[rigid leaf]

If you think it's a bug maybe you should post in the #🐞bug-smash ...

[pale idol]

nah I was sarcastic.

[balmy escarp]

rate the base : D

[pseudo rain]

Wait, where is the base?

[tropic saddle]

Oo, i would not recommend doing that
Databox thingy will go into the box after you unload them

[balmy escarp]

underwater : D

[tropic saddle]

10/10, the fresh air in this area is fantastic

[balmy escarp]

But there comes these fish birds flying and biting me all the time

[balmy escarp]

its just somewhere random close to ||the void in the crashzone||

[rigid leaf]

mod/10

[balmy escarp]

i didnt use a mod

[rigid leaf]

So you got the jacksepticeye goodie in a ledgitimate maner ? ❤️ (If I understand it is only for pre orders)

[balmy escarp]

yes

you can get it thru a code

i used the ghost command in order to walk in te ocean

[tropic saddle]

I remember the times when you didnt need to use commands to do that, just some interesting game breaking tricks

[balmy escarp]

they patched it in living large

[pale idol]

nuh uh, i tested. as long as all the stuff is placed on any base part, they won't fall through. they deload and reload on top of each other.

[misty briar]

as my band teacher would say " Commandment number 21. You're fine."

[tropic saddle]

Thats why i said "into the box", not "through the base"
Or does it deload on any object, including other props like boxes?

[pseudo rain]

A creative build just for fun, exploring some ideas

So many donuts!

[kind inlet]

I wanna mess more with connector-only setups. Its too easy to fall back on a MultiPurpose room tower or large room for some bases

These are very neat, I like em a lot!

[blissful sky]

you should name it "the puzzle base".. place 1 bed in the center and only place 1 outlet.. maybe a sign when the person wake up on bed saying "lets the game begin"

[rigid leaf]

And then you can place base separation to make it even more aMAZEing :p

[misty briar]

nice place you have there

[deft condor]

this is my first time making a video of my base so sorry if its kinda bad

[pseudo rain]

Looks like a city

[rigid leaf]

Did the living large update improve lightning ? Very nice base

[pseudo rain]

Not sure, this is an old screenshot.

This was what I did at the end of my game. I farmed hundreds of Reginalds to fill that area too heh

[kind inlet]

Gosh darn that one is a beauty. Great job.

[pseudo rain]

thank you!

[minor prism]

How is a dragon that high underwater

[deft condor]

he got bored of the color red

[versed pebble]

its hits difrent the first time you finnish Subnautica

[rigid leaf]

I guess he used console to spawn one there

[bronze sparrow]

GODDAMN

[tired drift]

riley robinson "the green thumb master" (1st place is crazy dave)

[soft bane]

Outpost Quantum’s alien ‘mascot’ Alaniea has gone missing. Outpost Personnel have begun the search for her. We hope that she is found and returned, alive and well. Further updates will be posted if/when she is found.

[covert elbow]

Where are you?

[silent horizon]

Bro what

[rigid leaf]

I guess he used console to spawn one there...

[covert elbow]

Consol still works?

[rigid leaf]

"With the recent Living Large Update, the input to access the dev console has changed.

To enable console commands, press the Shift key and Enter or `, (both buttons must be held at the same time) this should open the input box.

To send a command, enter your desired command in the input box, and press enter. Use the up key on your keyboard to scroll through your previously entered commands. "

[covert elbow]

Ty

[soft bane]

Our team has discovered trace amounts of Alaniea’s fragmented scales leading down to a deeper part of the trench that our Outpost overlooks. We have sent drones down to attempt to locate and hopefully recover her. A site shall be made if necessary, but for the time being and until further notice, we have asked everyone to continue their respective research.

In other (much more pleasant) news, we have discovered an Architect Artefact and located the co-ordinates for another. We hope our research continues to be fruitful. Outpost Quantum expansions are also coming along swimmingly.

[fathom delta]

working on a resource warehouse in the sparse reef

[surreal hollow]

Make the sparse reef great again 💯

[steel nebula]

built a large base fitting for a main base in creative. still kinda WIP but ran out of ideas and motivation. has a lounge, bedroom, storage/reactor room, two scanners and moonpools and a research area with containments to simulate multiple separate biomes.

[fathom delta]

Never lose your shuttlebug… ⚡

[earnest kelp]

whats a shuttlebug

imma build a base but yall get tho pick everything

[fathom delta]

the little big eye cave creatures

[earnest kelp]

werent you able to pick them up in one update?

[fathom delta]

can’t remember tbh

[tropic saddle]

No, i think that you are confusing them with little green guys, which you can pick up in BZ

I forgot what they are called

[robust stirrup]

Rockgrubs

[pseudo rain]

They had an egg, but I don't think it ever worked. It's still in the files, and in the egg laboratory.

[brave dagger]

basic, functional, and i love the game but i WISH this area had more going on in it or connected to lower parts later on but shrugs

[steel nebula]

I myself would love if there was a large enough enterance for the cyclops to fit through without having to force it through

[tawny river]

main base in my modded world
