🏠awesome-bases

[spice remnant]

I'm not as familiar with that one

[queen crypt]

What if I made a base that swirls around it

And ends at the top

[spice remnant]

sounds cool. I'm attempting something similar for the super tree in Western

[queen crypt]

I need to find that

[spice remnant]

Lifepod 13 is like right under it

carrying high priority passenger remains

[brisk ravine]

Do it. Thats where you have fun 🙂

[fair pivot]

Western mushroom forest is good, like people are saying. Convenient access to the lost river through the ghost forest, too. There's a T-shaped clearing in the eastern mushroom forest which was a good site for my most recent base. There's a large swath of grassy plateaus stretching kinda southeast from lifepod 17 which also works well.

[queen crypt]

K so then I'll most likely focus on western or eastern mushroom forest for a base

[late slate]

I did the same thing lol

[compact cedar]

Love my new drydock

[late slate]

Dang

[icy harness]

Cool but how do you get it out?

[valid steeple]

made a room dedicated to posters!

[dawn cave]

Idk if the ||dunes|| are spoilers cuz they’re not important to story but
Reaper Analysis Station

[icy harness]

Def needs the cyclops docking mod

[compact cedar]

Had a save before and it wasn‘t inside, it kind of glitched into the cyclops because the doc was open but it was inside the invisible barrier where it should have been docked

[dawn cave]

uhh

[icy harness]

Few

[regal pilot]

Anyone got any good base ideas? gonna start a new survival run.

[icy harness]

Void base :O

[regal pilot]

damn

[regal pilot]

i dont think im ready for that

[last widget]

Are you new to this game or already a bit experienced?

Because based of your answer i would have different suggestions for you

[static abyss]

Who?if you mean everyone im expreienced but Bad at building in rated looks

[vivid current]

Blood kempingowa żonę base

Blood kelp zone base

[vivid current]

Or floathing islands base

[wicked sparrow]

Bro for what? Just Stasis rifle him and scan. Its not that deep tbh

[dawn cave]

It’s in creative I just wanted to build a reaper observation site

[wicked sparrow]

oh okay

[pliant raptor]

Blood kelp ain't even scary, idk why everyone says it is

Base so far

[pliant raptor]

How does bro have a base but not a radioactive suit🥀🥀

W base tho

[drowsy apex]

YOU ARE COOL

[rigid leaf]

It's in creative I think. I see no O² food or water gauge ..

[past path]

guys I need tips for base

Should I make in the Dunes?

[regal pilot]

yes 🚡

[past path]

show us the inside! I'd bet it looks pretty nice!

[past path]

As somebody who hasn't beat the game, for the first time I explored there, I was worrying for crabsquids jumping me. To be honest, at night it is. Out of how scary it is, I think it's a 9.2/10.

[past path]

Make a mini base in the Mushroom Forest biome, or in the Jelly Shroom Caves. Me personally, I think going into the Underwater Island volcanoe place is all ready a good enough base.

[static seal]

It only is as it’s so dark and mysterious and you can barely see ahead of yourself

[pseudo rain]

I made bases in the dunes-grassy plateus border,dead zone, bulb zone,lava zone,tree cove and mountain island any other base ideas?

[icy harness]

I just get in a prawn suit and play doom music

[past path]

LOL, but seriously HOW DO YOU HET THE FRAGMENT

FOR PRAWN

I DONT HAVE ITTT

[icy harness]

Have you explored the aurora?

[past path]

Yes

But I missed every important fragments

The rocket ship

Prawn suit

Sea moth

Cat poster

So what do I do idk

[icy harness]

||Rocket is in the captain's cabin, prawn suit in the 2nd cargo bay (very hard to miss they are everywhere), sea moth is at crash sites in the grassy plateau, cat poster is in the crew cabin, cyclops in the mushroom forest and crash zone (would not recommend)||

@past path

[past path]

Thanks

I got seamoth

But not the dept. 2 upgrade

Only the first one

[icy harness]

Get a modification station

Upgrades can be expensive tho

[icy harness]

Holy sharmoly

How long did it take you to make that?

[pliant raptor]

Like a few hours, but if I knew what I wanted to do straight away I would finish it in like 50 mins

[ebon grove]

How much materials

Do you think you need to make smt like that

[static seal]

I can never make bases like that, it would take an entire day cycle from the night to day to find my bedroom and by then, it is day… it would be so confusing trying to find your path. I just like simple bases (small but good looking) because it’s way easier to navigate things

[pliant raptor]

Yeah the two multipurpose rooms on the top I just made for fun, I have no idea what to even put there

[pseudo rain]

Me too

[static seal]

it’s true

[undone edge]

could use some prettying up.. is what i would say if i was an asthestic person but i'm not (usually)

[pliant raptor]

Yeah I'm very bad at decorating lol

[static seal]

me 2

[spice remnant]

I'm working on a base of my own in Hardcore, and I might share in awesome bases, but it's not complete and I need to furnish alot

[static seal]

Can’t wait to see the progress!

[spice remnant]

I got a couple multipurpose rooms idk what to do with

3 actually I think

[static seal]

can’t wait, make some use out of em

I will make a base in the lost river in survival will show the results

[spice remnant]

then I have a bioreactor I'm using essentially for recycling, but I don't know how to theme the room around it

[static seal]

Add some wall plants

the wall garden things

[spice remnant]

that's an idea

Sad thing is I went on a dangerous quartz run last night, and forgot to close the game before turning off my pc, meaning it didn't save. thankfully it didn't end my run as like an anti-cheat or something

but I have to go on that quartz run again

I also have a bedroom section on a 3rd floor, but I don't know what to do with the second floor multipurpose room, yet I need it to achieve the effect I want

1st floor I'm going for a bit of a check-in look

[pliant raptor]

Add a desk, and put like the microscope decoration and sample decoration if you have them, and then make like a trashcan or something

Put a fabricator there

[pliant raptor]

What kinda plants can you add to wall plants?

[static seal]

not sure

[spice remnant]

That’s actually cooking. More fabricators won’t hurt, though technically I have one just down a ladder in a kitchen type area

[spice remnant]

I think they’re talking about the vine wall thingy

But the wall pots can take any 1x1 including Marblemelon Seeds

I’m currently on a quartz run

[zenith mesa]

Simple base in the safe shallows

[lofty solstice]

Nice

Does anyone have a pc here?

[static seal]

I wish :2

[static seal]

Would love a pc but don’t have one unfortunately, would’ve definitely pulled up the coordinates and biome tab on the side, along with an auto save :/

[lofty solstice]

Aww hopefully u get one in the future

[static seal]

I’m trying :3

[lofty solstice]

What do u play on then?

[static seal]

I have a few things, Xbox, switch, something’s like that :2

[lofty solstice]

Ah cool

[static seal]

yep :7

[lofty solstice]

Below zero or just subnautica

[static seal]

both :2

[lofty solstice]

Cool what is below zero like I’ve never played it

[static seal]

subnautica, but smaller, little less scary, and cold, and lots more stuff on land to do…

[lofty solstice]

Ooooo

Is there still levitations

Leviathons*

[static seal]

obviously, it’s subnautica lol :3

[lofty solstice]

lol

Wait isn’t there like a shadow one

[static seal]

yea, I haven’t fully tried to beat that game yet.

I will after sn1

I sent a friend request btw, gotta go in at least 2 mins :2

[lofty solstice]

Yea I think the storyline is better in subnautica that’s why I haven’t got below zero

[lofty solstice]

Ok

[static seal]

Yesssss

gtg

[lofty solstice]

Ok

[static seal]

byeeeeee

[lofty solstice]

Byeee

[worthy heath]

Does this count in memes or here?

[rigid leaf]

Both

[proper pecan]

survival, a few mods to make collecting the amount of resources I need for this managable (mod that lets me compact resources. No mods that make more exist, make them easier to actually obtain or smth)
can't show everything without doing a 20 minute tour
this is a small snippet of the most dens part of it

[magic panther]

damn, nice

[magic pebble]

subanutica players 🤝 the sims players

[celest geode]

god DAMN this is impressive

[steel siren]

can somone give me a good base location and design that has everything ill need

[molten epoch]

Ratings on the base I made? (Made in creative)

[worthy heath]

Spawn eight ampeels around the base

[deft crypt]

No spawn a dozen reapers and test the bases durability

[magic panther]

you can spawn stuff in creative??

[void aurora]

yeah

[deft crypt]

How?

[void aurora]

so i know you can but i do not know how

[harsh magnet]

Guys Rate?

(I use ReShade)

[worthy heath]

press the SHIFT key and the ENTER key at the same time, then type "spawn ampeel 8"

[magic panther]

ohhh, ty

[icy harness]

No spawn 60 sea dragons and 40 reapers

[deft crypt]

If you did that you'd be living in a war zone

[icy harness]

Just use a stasis rifle🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[deft crypt]

I will let you test that out for yourself

Then you can tell me how it went

[icy harness]

Nah I'd win

[pseudo rain]

Any base ideas in creative?

[versed heath]

sky

[native pivot]

Connect gun island and degasi island with bridge and in the middle made base in air

[lofty solstice]

In survival as well is sick

[deft crypt]

Someone did that and it nearly crashed their game

[native pivot]

Who ?

[pliant raptor]

It's my first ever base lol

[lofty solstice]

Wow it’s very impressive lol

[rigid leaf]

I just taught abotu a killer screenshoot. But you need an aquarium for that : "Place your flat screen behind your aquarium while being in water, take a photo of the aquarium and your screen behind" I could be great

[pliant raptor]

Thanks bro!!

Nah why does that sound zesty af🥀🥀

[late slate]

Made a massive base in creative for fun a while back

[icy harness]

base under the map

[steel siren]

what biome is a good biome to built with no scaries and close to everything important i want it to be quite deep so i can put cyclops beside it

[thin cypress]

I like the north mushroom biome, near the blood kelp, and it has most materials and lots of important wreaks

[steel siren]

that one?

[thin cypress]

yeah thats a personal fav, my go to, its a bit far from the islands and aurora but its not a huge problem, very good for late game

[steel siren]

ok thanks

[icy harness]

The void

[steel siren]

too boring too safe

[lofty solstice]

Guys I have a reasonable idea

Build a base above the ship and if u have the jet mod build a landing pad for that

Is that ok?

[pliant raptor]

Sparse reef

[steel siren]

never been whats it like?

[pliant raptor]

It a nice biome, got lots of limestone and stuff, but does get really dark at night

Right here is the perfect place to build in sparse reef

I have my base there

And it's also nice because in the area I showed, your right next to the blood kelp and there eyiu can get tons of quarts and uranite I think it is, also has a entrance to the lost river

[steel siren]

do you mean the eyeye?

[pliant raptor]

Wym?

[steel siren]

well what is eyiu?

[pliant raptor]

Ohhh, I was typing fast lol, I ment 'there'

Wait no

I mean 'you'

And there you can get tons of quartz

That's what I meant mb

[steel siren]

ah all good

[spice remnant]

So I think I got my base figured out, there's just one room left to decorate. It connects the cafeteria to the bedroom entrance area

well, one room idk what to do with

ig there's another room where the outdoor crop entrance is

[spice remnant]

Highlights of my base so far:

I'm terrible at getting pics

got the wrong bedroom pic:

Hardcore with no mods, if anyone is wondering

I’ll check back here tomorrow

[blissful dew]

why so massive

[spice remnant]

Because I can ig

Also I wanted to wrap around the top of that giant mushroom tree

[half osprey]

Best base locations in Below zero? I've already made bases in twisty birdges, purple vents, and lilypad islands but still suggest specific spots including those biomes

[brazen willow]

dose it not take a month of Sundays to walk around that base?

[icy harness]

Yo chat I got an idea

Someone build a base around (spoilers)

||the rocket||

Like a launch base

[deft crypt]

Is there a limit to how close you can build to it

[icy harness]

Ik

You can build around it tho

[pliant raptor]

I'm actually not joking my bedroom looks really similar

[pliant raptor]

I'm survival aswell!?

[steel siren]

do you know the coords for it?

[pliant raptor]

No sorry

Wait I might

Somewhere around there

I don't know the exact cords

[steel siren]

ok thanks

[brazen wagon]

i did co-op with my frinds and in our base i had a room made of only reinforced walls for stability and they kept calling it my cave

[steel siren]

rate the base??

[pliant raptor]

Wwww

Where is your base at?

[steel siren]

safe shallows right next to the og lifepod

but only starting my proper base now 12 hrs in

[pliant raptor]

I started to build my proper base like 25-30 hours in

[copper herald]

This is my 200+ hour base in survival I’ve been waiting to show this base for nearly 5 years now and it’s getting close to being finished

That is half of the base the rest of it is underwater

I call it, Atlantis

That’s just one of many cool things that I’ve built in this world over the years

[mighty galleon]

bro pulled the obraxis prime on limestone outcrops and metal salvage

[copper herald]

lol

If u wanna see the rest u can find me on twitch

[mighty galleon]

im 10 hours in and all I have is scanner room, moonpool, a few rooms for storage, bioreactor, bed, and two indoor growbeds full of lantern trees

[copper herald]

Give me a sec and I will show more

This is the underwater part

These are just some pics of around the base

This is my storage

treeguy556 is my twitch if u wanna see the rest of the world

[mighty galleon]

thats a lot of storage

[copper herald]

Ye

[spiral cypress]

so amazing

[spice remnant]

Hardcore actually (it’s like Survival, except your save is deleted if you die)

[spice remnant]

Oh no, do I need to change it?

[spice remnant]

How in the world did you manage all of that?! Are there actually that many resources in survival?

[copper herald]

The resources respond after awhile

[dim grail]

Why is the average base so big? My first base was like 5 rooms I think. 2 moon pools, one scanner, one main room, one storage room, one bed room, one generator room, and my aquarium room.

[vapid oxide]

not any practical reason, it's just fun

and you're probably not seeing primarily average bases here

more-so architectural feats

[copper herald]

This was my starter base

@dim grail

[dim grail]

Ah.

I think that now I know that resources respawn, I wanna build a tunnel throughout the entire map

Let’s pray my switch can handle it somehow

[copper herald]

Idk bout that

[celest geode]

they dont???

wdym

[dim grail]

They don’t?

Dang 🫩

[copper herald]

I’ve had them respond before

[celest geode]

when? and with mods?

[copper herald]

No

Base game

Some do not respond but the basic resources do like metal salvage, and lead nodes and quartz

Everything for base building

[spice remnant]

I’ve never seen resources respawn

[copper herald]

If u drop salvage in an area where salvaged spawns frequently more salvage will spawn around that salvage that you placed

Or at least it works for me

Do it with a scanner room

The best places to do it is around the Aurora, the dunes, crag field, and the mountains

Thats were you get the most

[celest geode]

nah, only things that can respawn are from shale outcrops

and ion cubes

maybe metal salvage is on that list but i've never seen it happen

[copper herald]

I’ve had savage and both quartz and lead, but as nodes respond before

[pliant raptor]

Danggg

[pliant raptor]

No no, it's fine lol

[near prism]

Just build my 5th base

[pliant raptor]

Www

[static seal]

awesome!

[worthy heath]

This is not a subnautica base

You are made of smelly cheese

[steel siren]

bro an i thought that my base needing minimum 100 titanium was big

[steel siren]

ignore how weak it is

[static seal]

lol

[steel siren]

exterior nearly done still need to do all the bulkheads and reinforcements before starting inside

[steel siren]

i just put 2 rods in my reactor how long will that last if my base needs 3000 power?

[icy harness]

Wrong base lol

[pliant raptor]

Like 80 mins?

Depends how much you use of it

Like mines been in for at least 2 hours, because it's not the only one being used, I have bioreactors and solar panels helping it

And each rod has 20k power

[steel siren]

yeah i have a bio reactor aswell but its empty need solar pannels and there are 2 rods so hopefully that lasts a bit

does it go down while off line or only ingame?

[pliant raptor]

Wym?

Ohh the rods energy?

[steel siren]

exterior is now 90% done 🥳 still need to do bulkheads ,hatches, windows more reinforcements glass roves, grow beds and the whole interior and a cyclops dock aswell

[lime tapir]

Very nice looking! Good job:)

[past path]

Pardon me, but which biome is that?

[steel siren]

Sparse reef

Exact co ords are - 621, - 621

[past path]

Oh, I forgot about that! I am also planning on building my base near lifepod 19, neither too far but not too close! I need to get access to the cave for the rubies!

[steel siren]

Yes you need to go to the life pod with that second officer guy (forgot his name and life pod number) but if that's life pod 19 then I'm also really close like 250 m away from him

[past path]

It indeed is. I know where every lifepod is located. Need help locating one? Just ask me, I’d be willing to help.

[steel siren]

Ok if I ever do I will ask haha

[past path]

lol

[fading trench]

Sorry, resources don't respawn. None of them.

Those that could be labeled as exceptions, do not respawn either. There's an entity spawning more of them, sure, but the naturally occurring ones do not respawn.

Titanium is available in extremely high quantities (~18k) so you're unlikely to ever run out.

[waxen timber]

Also you can transmutate quartz into titanium with the power of Markiplier

[jolly rock]

Hello everyone!

I need help with base building!

I'm looking for place and of course - a design - for a big base supporting multiple peaople.

I want it to contain:

1. A warehouse (Big MPR)
2. Water treatment section (at least 6 water purification stations) (MPR / Big MPR)
3. Power section (2 nuclear reactors) (2 MPR)
4. Cafeteria (MPR/ Big MPR)
5. Conference room (MPR/Big MPR)
6. Administration section (Big MPR)
7. Sleeping quarters (At least 4) (MPR)
8. Moonpools (At least 4)
9. Indoor garden (Big MPR + MPR)
10. Amusement section (Big MPR / MPR)
11. Alien Tech lab (Big MPR)
12. Viral and Bacterial Infections Reaserch Lab (Big MPR + Big MPR)

*MPR - Multi Purpose Room

I want to place flood gates between every section

[rigid leaf]

You can do that nearly anywhere. But maybe you would prefer a place with vast horizontal ground and at least 20 m depth. Like Red grass plateau maybe? Or if you want to make it deep, try the Giant Cove Tree ( 800m deep )

[deft crypt]

You should build a giant underwater tower at the base of the mountain island with a laboratory in the nearby caves

[steel siren]

each room holds 36 big lockers another room ontop of this btw

[deft crypt]

Why do you need all of that storage

[steel siren]

Why not

[icy harness]

Who doesn't?

[spice remnant]

I was like 99% sure this was the case, but thank you for confirming

[junior zinc]

Goes hard?

[leaden island]

Whats the cords?

[junior zinc]

my location

[leaden island]

what are you forgot here? xD

[junior zinc]

hm?

[spice remnant]

I don’t know the coords per se, but if you go to Lifepod 13, it’s right on top of that giant tree

[leaden island]

thx bro i found it already

[leaden island]

Guys somebody help me plss. How connect that sheesh to the room?

[worthy heath]

I dont think you can

I dont know

[pliant raptor]

You cant

[leaden island]

Thx guys i understand

[pliant raptor]

Nicee

[junior zinc]

enter base
press f1

[smoky rapids]

I built this because idk, interior later

(Side note ignore the beacons..there’s about 50 more)

[static seal]

That’s awesome!!!

[unborn cave]

(built in creative) rate 1-10!!

[cyan iron]

What biome is that? It looks awesome

[tender marten]

i think thats a kelp forrest but all the creepvine was cut with a knife and isn't respawning

[tender marten]

judging by the reaper swimming past and the name of hte beacon its near the crash zone close enough to a reaper

[cyan iron]

Cool

[tender marten]

anyways ur probably gonna get swallowed by a reaper if u don't watch out so yeah

[cyan iron]

Nah, their just big puppies

[tender marten]

very cute puppies that steal ur seamoth if u turn around 😄

[cyan iron]

Yeah, I normally put my base in the ||Dunes|| and I can't tell you the amount of seamoths I have lost

[tender marten]

R.i.p those seamoths

[cyan iron]

They died serving their purpose

[pseudo rain]

Any subnautica biomes suggestions for a base in creative?

[queen tinsel]

behind the aurora

or the void

[tender marten]

u could go to one of the ||sea emperor roaming locations|| Dunes, mountains, grand reef, northern blood kelp, crag field or even the || primary containment facility with the adult sea emperor||

[pseudo rain]

My subnautica crash zone base (in creative btw)

[queen tinsel]

go into survival for like 30 seconds

dw nothings gonna happen

js some friendly creatures are gonna hug u

no u dont know the trick

trust

[pseudo rain]

yes thats a trick so you get attacked by reapers i aldready know

[queen tinsel]

nono defo not

[void aurora]

whats good

[unborn cave]

it's right here

its like a tiny biome called "crash zone mesa" i didnt know it existed i found it in freecam

im gonna try to remake that base in survival

[cyan iron]

Cheers, its got a really cool vibe

[tender marten]

yeah very cool vibe 😭

the puppies are gonna steal ur seamoth

[cyan iron]

Moonpool

Or you can get "get rid" of them

[tender marten]

its a me the reaper (puppie) exterminator

[cyan iron]

😭

[peak yoke]

1. || Dunes ||
2. || Under floating island ||
3. || Cove Tree ||
4. || Gargantuans Leviathan Skeleton in the lost river ||

[rigid leaf]

||Giant Cove Tree||

[modest knoll]

how should i expand

[feral forge]

Maybe add more multiuse rooms or big rooms

And also add a second floor

Idk

[haughty edge]

I'd recommend that if you want to expand a lot it might be worth considering moving to the red sand biome. Or an above water base ( which I have and is awesome )

Sky's the limit

[junior zinc]

Did some calculations on my megabases, based on Larry's video

[unborn cave]

rate the back of the aurora base! (made in creative)

[sterile crane]

no bed

sleep on the floor

[unborn cave]

oh i did forget a bed 😪

[feral forge]

Do you mean ||Grassy plateaus||?

[haughty edge]

Yeah

[feral forge]

Okie 🔥🔥

[feral forge]

if you sleep outside (RIGHT in that biome) guess what happens ;)

[pseudo rain]

rate from 1 to 10 my northen blood kelp zone base made in subnautica creative

[smoky prawn]

ill give it a 6/10 tho an inside tour would be cool

[tardy compass]

Welcome to the Mega-base 2.0

This base has several features including: 1 Beluga Submersible, 1 Cyclops, 1 Hydra Submarine (Alterra Protype), Blossom submersible, 1 Prawn-suit (MK III), 4 Seamoths, 1 Eureka Jet and one Renault 5.

The new Mega-base 2.0 is a main research hub for Alterra Corp. It includes: 5 large rooms, 5 multipurpose rooms, 2 moonpools, 1 scanner room, above water observatory, outdoor planters, 1 runway and is fully powered by 2 state of the art bioreactors and multiple solar panels.

The all new Mega-base 2.0 has 11 beds across 5 bedrooms, 1 work room, 2 research labs, a café and kitchen and 4 alien containment facilities.

(its so laggy that i had to turn my graphics down to medium and decrease my fps limit) Anyways thats the Mega-base 2.0 done!
(please bear in mind its not actually trade marked) (This base includes mods)

Rate it out of 10

[nocturne jasper]

Mega/10

[tardy compass]

thank you!

[pliant raptor]

How long did it take to build???

[tardy compass]

Around 5 hours

[pliant raptor]

Dangg

It's insane

[tardy compass]

ty!

[placid juniper]

This is exactly why subnautica 2 needs a way to share a base’s floor plan with others

[tardy compass]

It would be cool

[icy harness]

Download the cyclops docking mod!!!

[tardy compass]

I have it and i might put it in!

[icy harness]

YESSSS!!!!!

69/10

[tardy compass]

(had to dissable the mod because it was conflicting with other mods

[icy harness]

YES SIRRR

[heady gust]

Bro my laptop would burnout trying to render it

[normal kiln]

here is my Grassy Plateaus base in my Hardcore save, pretty much spent 90% of my entire hardcore world building thsi.

This is another shot in the morning.

• Living Quarters.

And the Recreational Room.

[buoyant walrus]

anyone just live in their cyclops

[rapid mango]

I used to, but as soon as I put a little time into making an established base, I no longer felt the need

[static seal]

awesome!

[worthy heath]

bases

[daring gyro]

I use to do that, it fits nearly everywhere where I want to go. And my Bed fits into the Cockpit 😄

[proper fiber]

Once I get one I probably will

[buoyant walrus]

What I do is just make a bunch of tiny bases to charge my power cells wherever

[rugged citrus]

Context: at some time in other chat of the server, i mention that vehicles are significantly cheap, at least for me, the reason its some of my bases that i build on survival.

The outer hull are a good example, but its just 15% to 20% of material used
Some are used to functional machines, but most of the material, are used to non functional, like decorations and building sections

And Yet, i did not fineshed this base, still more than 40% empty yet..

the labs too much time to build, just because im like making this as minimal and precise detailed placement of some tables and lockers, unfortunetly i stil have to replant the samples of the growbed, because for optizing plant access, and the hitbox wall of the plant/living wall atachment its little glitchy, so its taking more space than planned, and cant even place a small wall plant pot, thats sad :/

getting fun cards games in the glass bubble, if it has cards, so became a audit bubble also

Fabrication complex and Material storage

Yeah, there is more, back there

yes, im using compacting storage crafting, and de-compacting it with the Reciclotron, so hiperdense storage base, and it stil not fineshed the decoration this room yet

"my room" or idk, some place that you wake up and start the day by taking coffe and cook or pass time, and other stuff maybe

for now, i estimate this base has used more than 60 Titanium Ingots, so in below zero 1 Ingot are 5 Titanium units, more than 300 titanium aproximated? and it still in building process, and yet its not the biggest survival base i ever build, at least not in below zero, i built a bit bigger base on the Classic Subnautica 1 at the time only existed multiporpose room and pipe corridors for building, but not sure if it was less cheap, or not

For now im still colecting material and building process, so eventualy e will post more if someone liked this SaeBase build type
And i would enjoy a feedback, or ideas if there is for the base

[smoky rapids]

A base in Crash zone mesa I built like 2 hours ago

[smoky rapids]

Unfortunately my first ever base has been lost forever since I deleted the save file it was on 2 or more years ago

[edgy sedge]

The misspelling of physics and quarantine are throwing me

[rugged citrus]

oh, sorry, i will correct that, in my language the word diference almost dont exist and takes me most time
just to get in perspective, Quarantine its "Quarentena" , Physics its "Física" ("Ph" and "F" has the same sound and its forgot and became more used de "F" variant) Physics and Física, its so similar in sound even when we try to typing it the sound makes this little mess

better now? sorry about that

[edgy sedge]

Im curious as to why you're writing in your non-native language tho? Is is practice because your english is already very good

[rugged citrus]

well, im not sure, i just like doing it, for some reason, makes more sense to me or looks good, and even makes possible typing most know words, especially when my native language have words that its usualy longer when they dont have similarity like the Quarantine or Physics, so some times just dont fit the complete word in the text plate because it uses like 5 Extra Letters

so if im try making the base in Portuguese (Brasil), can be words that wont even fit on the wall locker plate

and if make a hybrid its even worse and can be more confusing for others that will see

so, just better way its making it in english, for me

[sinful pebble]

I love how the biology lab is just a bioreactor

[rugged citrus]

well, it have some balcony to dissect some fauna and flora and lots of freezers for samples and creature eggs

[sinful pebble]

Oh cool

[rugged citrus]

in below zero, i did not find the lab tech equipment, like the ones you find in SBN 1

[sinful pebble]

Oh ok

[rugged citrus]

that why the lack of lab equipment in there, unfortunetly this decoration and lab tech stuff its not avaliable to craft or build, and we do find then in some below zero bases, but saddly most ins not collectable, not sure about why maybe people that just see this has no aplications or uses to survival, its just furniture, but still a thing that some players like use, i used a lot of then in my Classic SBN 1 Survival Sea Base, and even have to get a way to find some more in other wrecks

[rugged citrus]

this room section is not completed, there will be an extention over the room next, that have some Alien Containment for "fauna observation and its interaction of the diferent eviroments" or something like this
other thing, that may not have sense for some build-deco-players, are the Power Cell Recharger, i understad it, because this have a functional use, but in there, im using it like a non purpose as well the power cell in then, the ideia is use like a power bank in emergency situations of power outages for the sample freezers, its expensive equipment and no, saddly it not do it, its jusk suck power from you base than gave back power when needed

Power Banks shoud be a thing in subnautica i guess, even when the solar panels have like 75 power buffer in then, but must of the time you just dont use all of it at once, and only get power in daytime and it get all the power back quite fast. So, maybe nerfing the solar panels has to be thing, today bases standards only require 1 or 2 solar panels and usualy its enough at beggining of the base, even a full operational scanner room can be driven by 3 or 4 solar modules below 100m
So if Power Banks it a thing that will be added, i realy will like to see, but some standards generation methods may have to be nerfed and also may have to be an expensive blueprint to build, or has attach it to a base wall or center

[feral forge]

What do you guys think of my base? what should I add on it?

Kinda lame for the biome tho… :(

and also lame cuz it’s small and newbie

but I really like it on the inside

[icy harness]

holy

[rugged citrus]

Quite good, but um think It have lots of reinforced walls
Its possible make a base with less than 0.1 Hull points, If you get this odd number in specific ways

But If It still usefull as start of the game and mainly confortaveble to you, its ok and a good base

[rugged citrus]

Is that a Bald Bio Reactor? Its so odd XD

To me its odd tô see a bio reactors without the bio gas pipes and stuff

@hollow escarp heres a base i made

you can inspire from it

[normal zodiac]

oh @hollow escarp you can also always look up builds and stuff on youtube for inspiration 🙂

there are really really cool base tours

i was obsessed with people building in the void for a while lmao

[deft crypt]

I always forget that exterior grow beds work above water

[placid juniper]

Guys I need ideas for what to build once I beat the game. Do I build an island settlement, a Leviathan observatory, or an underwater hotel?

[normal zodiac]

lmao a hotel would be funny

fish hotel

[placid juniper]

I meant a human hotel that happens to be underwater

[normal zodiac]

surew

but secretly a fish hotel /j

seriously though i think a hotel would look cool

[placid juniper]

Probably just a punch of large rooms that are stacked on top of each other and connected via glass compartments

[normal zodiac]

mhm mhm i see the vision

[bright spindle]

I’m making a cliff base

[placid juniper]

Where?

[bright spindle]

hanging off the kelp forest into the grassy plateaus

[normal zodiac]

oooo

[signal raptor]

You could build an observatory for every leviathan species with no more than one in a single biome...

[placid juniper]

Could be

That would take a while

Sounds fun though

[bright spindle]

at the end of my playthrough should I make an aquarium with all eggs and even a reaper

[signal raptor]

Exactly!

[placid juniper]

Reefback point, fort Reaper, Ghost Leviathan station, Sea Dragon bunker, and Sea Emperor palace

Hold up can hostile creatures damage your base? I haven’t had that happen but I don’t wanna risk building right next to a Sea Dragon and having the observatory get destroyed.

[radiant sinew]

A great thing to do I don’t hear enough (maybe cause people don’t realise it) but || all the sea emperor juveniles grow up, and each have their own roaming place, and I always love to build observatories for them ||

[normal zodiac]

i learned about that the other day 🥺 so cool, i have to do that sometime

[signal raptor]

I think the only thing hostile creatures can potentially do to your base is push one of your vehicles into it, potentially damaging it then.

[signal raptor]

They tend to be sort of high up in the water column, I found, so it's not trivial to get a close look at them from a base.

[radiant sinew]

verticall connectors to a high tube

[signal raptor]

That would do it, certainly.

[bright spindle]

At the end of my play through should I make an aquarium, if yeah where (doing this in the first game)

[surreal trellis]

I found this in a time capsule. I wonder what's inside...

[tender marten]

probably tools with ion batteries i just realised i should probably put an ion battery in my habi builder im still building my base

[dry dagger]

@pliant raptor

[pliant raptor]

I’m gonna do this once I finish the story and check off some of the other things on my Subnautica bucket list

[dry dagger]

you could also build a base (either big or small) in every single biome, including the void

[placid juniper]

I’m gonna focus on the Leviathan laboratories first. Then maybe I’ll move on to other stuff like an Alterra colony or an island resort.

i thought this was talking about a minecraft base before the list loaded 💀

[placid juniper]

Lmao

I can see why

[grizzled hatch]

"creative mode"

[steady vigil]

What about an outpost in the Tree Cove?

[placid juniper]

Oooooh you right

What else?

[tender marten]

void

[steady vigil]

Idk, you already mentioned alk my ideas above

My BZ garden, took me about 3 hours to make it

[normal narwhal]

Ohh that's crazy

[tender marten]

3 hours to make a garden? 😭

oh wait

thats still really fast for the amount of different plants

[steady vigil]

took me a lot of time because I had to construct and deconstruct a lot of growbeds

because I placed one of them wrong and to deconstruct it I needed to break that whole part of the base

but instead I loaded my old save and I had to construct the whole garden AGAIN

also spent 1 hours searching for that f*cking spotted dockleaf cuz I couldn't find it even with google

[midnight junco]

military outpost around the WHOLE void

Crater edge Military outpost edge

tho ig its more of a wall than an outpost

[sacred nimbus]

I don't like the plants on top of the exit tube, personally

[steady vigil]

you don't notice them from inside tho

[sour dune]

first thing that came to mind

[placid juniper]

That sounds super tedious and I don’t think it’d make much sense to have a wall around the crater

[tender marten]

im gonna feed it to a reaper

[sour dune]

jokes on you i already rammed a reaper to death with it

[tender marten]

jokes on u im the reaper >:)

[steady vigil]

Named my seamoth "Toyota Corolla"

And my Sea-Truck "LUCKI" cuz I was listening to Lucki when I built it

[pulsar gust]

How are you all so good at making bases lol

Mine turns out a mess always lmao

[midnight junco]

Well it doesn’t make much sense to have 12 random bases either 😭 buts it’s all for fun

[placid juniper]

I mean the things I plan on building are mostly for aesthetics and fun worldbuilding

Just strictures that look nice and fit into the lore

[midnight junco]

then thers only 1 option

military outpost around the WHOLE void

[steady vigil]

It's very simple. Try to fill every blank space in your base with something tidious and colorful, like plant pots and wall shelves. Also another key factor is SIMETRY. Once you have simetry, everything will come along very nicely

[tender marten]

tbh i usualy just avoid having empty rooms

[steady vigil]

Exactly, especially the moonpool

I always place a lot of plant pots there

[tender marten]

oh yeah udnerstandable

tbh of all the rooms the only one i don't really mind when its empty besides an observatory is the moonpool

[steady vigil]

I use the moonpool to place Reinforcements for my base. I don't like to see it all white an empty tho, it's need a bit of color

[placid juniper]

*symmetry ☝️🤓

[steady vigil]

The goat factor of designing

[placid juniper]

sorry about that

[placid juniper]

Not that I’ve seen

Do you mean layered on each other? You cant do that exactly, ive tried

[hollow fulcrum]

Darn

[pulsar gust]

maybe I didn't have it symmetrical lol I will try that next time thanks!

[late aspen]

My Below Zero Iceberg outpost. Used as a observation and research hub for both land flora and fauna. The 3 main sections being the living quarters, laboratory (fertilizing an exterior grow bed), and a greenhouse/enclosed fauna observatory.

[robust stirrup]

I tend to really enjoy non-symmetrical bases, I find they're more interesting that way. But it's really up to the player!

[robust stirrup]

tbh I love you using natural piece for your base (lightsticks and the spy pengling beacon) it looks awesome incorporating those into your build!

(At least I think that's a spy pengling beacon lol)

[late aspen]

Yes it is, LOL. Thank you very much! I put a lot of thought into it's construction.

I try to be very thoughtful of all the bases I build. As sad as it sounds it took like 4-5 hours of work to finish this base...

[robust stirrup]

no not at all!

sounds pretty accurate, I take the same time here haha

lemme post the base I've been setting up the past few days

[robust stirrup]

My newest base, situated in the Deep Twisty Bridges! (Same world as my last BZ base: #🏠awesome-bases message) While the building is a little cramped, I really loved the colors and atmosphere, and thought I'd try it out! I'm nestled in this thin sideways crack in a wall where I get a great view of the Squidsharks patrolling outside! There are quite a few good observatory spots, including one right over a Spikey Trap on the far side of the base! I do typically keep most of the base lights off, since I think it works with the atmosphere better, but I turned a few on for some shots! (I couldn't get a ton of full base shots due to the weird topography and terrain around, so let me know if there's a part you'd like to see in more detail.)

[robust stirrup]

A few shots of my situationally friendly yet continually hungry neighbors!

(Also idk why the shots are blurry on max graphics, I apologize :p)

[late aspen]

I love the aquarium floor for the bedroom! I wanted to do that for my base so bad especially since Robin is a xenologist I thought it would be perfect for her character. But I never knew where to build it and the building restrictions with the terrain annoy me so much it takes hours just to place all the base pieces in a way that satisfy me 😭.

[late aspen]

Mine were taken on a 4k monitor so maybe that’s why there’s a difference in resolution but they still look gorgeous!!

I think it’s more about the lighting and atmosphere anyways

[robust stirrup]

Oh 100%, this took a while, mostly fiddling with terrain and weird buildable interactions, I really love the look alien containments have on the mutipurpose rooms above them, so I do that quite frequently!

[robust stirrup]

The atmosphere of a biome and any special features it may possess (creatures, interesting terrain, other locations of interest) is probably my main drive for making a base somewhere. I don't want to live somewhere if it's not super pretty to look at!

[placid juniper]

youtuber named BreathTaker just gave me the best place to build my Sea Emperor Palace

I actually met the juvenile Sea Emperor that lives in the Crag Field while I was playing today. Dropped a beacon in his territory so I can go back later and start building.

Right now that base runs of a nuclear reactor but il find the thermal spots and get it running off that.

[silk briar]

My 2nd playthrough mountain base by the ||QEP|| and reaper observation station by Eileen I have scanner cams on Eileen and Mabel. Mabel's close enough to the surface to see but I found other scanner cams to be the most effective way to illuminate Eileen at 200m deep, floodlights just don't have the range I need. Eileen came up to the station once to inspect with her teeth but didn't leave any damage so I think she approves. I keep an army of crabsquid to subdue my evil ||warper|| neighbour who lives in the cave below me. The location isn't great overall I often have to go on big excursions for basic materials but its worth it for Eileen she'd do the same for me trust

[tender marten]

from the first imagei thought that was in the ||aquarium|| but nwo i see that its the mountains

it took away my sanity tho the amount of times i died

building

[polar swift]

Uptade on my base. Now it has an indoor and outdoor farm, nuclear recator, storage room, aquarium and a reefback observatory. Its kinda empty on the inside but ill work on it

[storm gorge]

Bases that are both underwater and on land are fun.

I built this at the bottom of the void in BZ without cheats. There's a tiny sliver of the "world edge" biome that lets you swim all the way down there provided you have enough oxygen, so I took a bunch of stuff down there and built a base with everything I could need (including all of the useful plants).

Now that I’ve beaten Subnautica, I’m gonna switch to creative mode and start working on the Leviathan Laboratories and stuff. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll start with Reefback Point in the Grassy Plateaus.

so hype to see

Didn’t spend a whole lot of time on my base in my original playthrough, so it’ll probably take a while for me to fully learn the intricacies of base-building

maybe not an "Awesome" base, but I built it on ||the mountain/gun island|| and I like it! it'll be my base until i unlock the cyclops, then I'll pack up and live a Subnautica Van Life

[twin crown]

van life the best

[vapid oxide]

yo this is great

i love putting it in shadow world

[fiery badger]

Forgot i had this mod, but now the Beluga is my base!

[vapid oxide]

can i see the inside

[dapper merlin]

gonna upload a full video of my first world base, give it a rate

(still uploading) I'm proud to say i picked this spot on my own, i think it's a very practical spot both early,mid and endgame locationwise. ignore the fishtank i just put every fish i could get my hands on in it

https://www.xbox.com/play/media/JFB6aEqpYd

[dapper merlin]

why is it all white

[narrow talon]

Because it's snowing

It's Subnautica Below Zero

🤯

[narrow talon]

What is this biome

Looks like crag field or smthn

Noo it's not crag field

Maybe grand reef

Idk

[radiant sinew]

Grassy plateaus

The pillars and red grass :p

[narrow talon]

Oh

Yes now i see this

[pure nacelle]

How do you power buildings with no sunlight?

[narrow talon]

Bioreactor

Nuclear reactor

Thermal reactor

Many options

[pure nacelle]

I’m bummed out that I used dev to beat game

[placid juniper]

Update on my first real base build, Reefback Point.

Uh… I feel like I need to make a written floor plan because is mostly just a mess of rooms and tubes. The only rooms that I’ve decorated are one of the moonpools and part of one of the large rooms that’s supposed to be an office.

I’m probably gonna deconstruct and start fresh with a really big slab of foundation pieces

[fiery badger]

When I get back from lab today, yes

[hollow fulcrum]

Did a 3 in 1 base in creative as a theory test. Going to give a try at building it or something like it in survival while i wait for Grounded 2 and S2 EA. I did use some mods.

[dapper merlin]

@daring pond

here's my base as it was yesterday

that black line is where it is on the map

[daring pond]

ohh alr

[dapper merlin]

its actually really really good

[real loom]

I don't have a picture of my base and I'm too lazy right now

It's between the mushroom forest closest to the Aurora and in the Grassy Plateaus

It's just a moonpool with everything in it

[astral fossil]

my blood kelp zone base, I wanted to rebuilt it cuz I didn't like it so much, can someone suggest me a good design?

[placid juniper]

Reefback Point is 30-40% done I think.

[silk briar]

If you saw this in the wrong chat before no you didnt but this is my huouuusuusssseeeeeeee in a horrible location gameplay-wise but its so pretty I had to live here

[fast quest]

I think they ought to have connected the Deep Lilypad Cave to the ||Crystal Caves|| somehow, because this biome is too gorgeous for a place you only have to visit one time

[hollow fulcrum]

I feel the same about s1 jelly caves to the river

[placid juniper]

To Alterra HQ,

An update on the 4546B Leviathan Laboratories:

After extensive exploration, a few suitable locations have been discovered for the Leviathan Laboratories.
Construction has begun on Reefback Point in the Grassy Plateaus. The moonpools, scanner tower, and barracks are all nearing completion. Two possible locations in the Dunes have been identified as a suitable spot for Fort Reaper, although there are other biomes to consider. A mapping team will be dispatched to the Crash Zone and the Mountain biomes to investigate the Reaper population and search for strategic laboratory locations. So far, two juvenile Sea Emperors have been discovered. One resides in the Crag Field, and the other in the Dunes. Searching for other Sea Emperors is not of utmost importance at this time.
Due to the higher danger rating and equipment limitations, scouting for Ghost Leviathan Station and Sea Dragon Bunker have been delayed. Exploration will resume once Reefback Point is completed and the rest of the supplies arrive. In conclusion, the project is proceeding on schedule.

Sincerely,
Kevin Tallus, Leviathan Laboratories Director

I’m not sure why I wanted to send this as like an in-universe message to Alterra, but I’ll figure out how to post screenshots of Reefback Point someday.

This has shown me that I don’t know anything about base building

Idk how to make a base look good and I never have a plan for the layout

[sterile sand]

The other Sea Emperors are in the ||mountains|| and ||grand reef||
Well there's also a 5th one but I have no idea where that guy lives

[placid juniper]

I’ll find each of them and then pick a spot

[daring pond]

bedroom

[distant minnow]

The transition between those two windows in the first pic is crazy

[rose sentinel]

my 2nd base next to the jellyshroom around the aurora there’s nothing in the interior other than in the large room

[tepid carbon]

This is what the beluga looked like when Barbie was the captain

[dreamy patrol]

Found a teen swimming above the ||northern blood kelp zone||

As in teen emperor

[dreamy patrol]

O yea kohllep you finna do one on sea treaders or too much work on top of your already huge project

[placid juniper]

I remember hearing somewhere that the Sea Treaders stop spawning if you build a base too close to them

I haven’t tested it but I wasn’t planning on doing a base for the Sea Treaders

[dreamy patrol]

Ah

But with the teen emperor I made my base close to it and randomly it was at my window

[placid juniper]

I think my Sea Emperor Palace is either gonna be in the Mountains or the Crag Field

[drifting warren]

I made a base there and after that not one sea treader made an apperance

For like 15 hours in game i saw no sea treaders, even farther out in the biome

But i did see their feces randomly appear but no sea treader anywere

[sterile sand]

Roughly judging by the pictures on the wiki, out of all Sea Emperor locations, the one with the clearest water is in the Grand Reef
Just something I thought you might want to know

[sterile sand]

After thinkning a bit about it, I might make a Sea Emperor observatory on my hardcore world
I live in the Underwater Islands, which neighbours two Sea Emperor biomes, and they both even have other leviathans
But perhaps the Grand Reef is just too pretty and I'll build there

[nova roost]

What's that tablet in the third picture on top of the bed?

Cool design, btw

[daring pond]

tablet?

[daring pond]

oh

thats an image board

[nova roost]

Did you find it at the aurora?

Also, what can I display on it?

[safe reef]

My base on top of the large mushroom tree

[radiant sinew]

It’s a picture frame, you can display any pictures you took in your world, and it’s found in a few wrecks around the world and also aurora

[nova roost]

What I had built so far on the main base
The two multipurpose rooms at the edge both contain bioreactors

And I might add some more solar panels to the other side

[midnight shale]

i got my jellyshroom enclosure set up 😛

[warm geyser]

@placid juniper was not prepared for the epic/odyssey reference to hit me like a truck but that is amazing, great base!

[storm gorge]

I strongly recommended doing a playthrough of both games in Survival mode without eating any plants or using bladderfish for water. It's a fun challenge that forces you to build little outposts everywhere with edible plants growing. You can't easily get away with just having one base and using the thermoblade.

You might need to speedrun getting plant seeds before running out of initial supplies (and eating creepvine before that)

[safe reef]

My little outpost in the small mushroom forest. I really hope there is more of a point to building outposts in the new game and also to exploring the various biomes.

[fair patrol]

THANK YOU!! 😭 🫶
I decided to use Epic/Odyssey as a naming scheme this time around. I even gave the islands proper names, Aeolus Island and Calypso Island

[warm geyser]

That's brilliant. I will admit to naming my seamoth Ody, and my cyclops Hermes, although that's a double reference to the Martian as well. I'm thinking I'll name my Prawn suit Penelope when I make one 😁

[fair patrol]

[polar swift]

Final updates on my base! I finally finished it. I made a lil one on the land and in the cyclops too. Idk what to build now so if you have any ideas lmk🤷‍♀️

[warm geyser]

Looks great, if you want build ideas I can offer a few projects I've thaught of for when I have enough resources - like an alien containment tank for each major biome planted with the specific plants and put the corresponding animals in. Some would look quite cool, like the oculus and jellyshroom biome stuff, or a kelp & stalker tank with cute hoverfish. Don't know if this helps

[polar swift]

Thanks honestly a great idea! Ill do that right now!

[trail wolf]

I think I might make a base in the jellyshroom caves using thermal reactors

And I'll have a platform going up to the surface because I like the above ground hatch

[placid juniper]

To Alterra HQ,

An update on the 4546B Leviathan Laboratories:

Since my last message, notable progress has been made on multiple fronts of this project.
Construction continues on Reefback point, but the local Sandshark population has proven a bit of a nuisance. Estimated completion is 50%-65% and most essential systems are operational.
The mapping teams in charge of Fort Reaper have investigated all biomes with a native Reaper Leviathan population and returned safely. After reviewing their data, the Aurora Crash Zone biome has been eliminated as a possible location. Construction had just started one one of the three locations deemed most viable in the Dunes biome, but a sudden Reaper Leviathan attack completely demolished the structure. The same Reaper also killed three crew members before the PRAWN suit security team was able to scare it off. We have since returned to the location phase.
As previously mentioned, location has been delayed for Ghost Leviathan Station and Sea Dragon Bunker.
In other news, a member of one of our mapping teams discovered a massive cave-like entrance in the Mountain biome at a depth of nearly 400 meters. Short-range PDA scans detected numerous fossils in the region. This subterranean biome wasn’t on the orbital scans, but a fossil observation outpost could provide useful data.
In summary, the project has faced minor setbacks but is still proceeding on schedule.

Sincerely,
Kevin Tallus, Leviathan Laboratories Director

[sterile sand]

Makes sense to eliminate the Crash Zone, the water is so murky it's terrible for an observatory

[brazen crest]

Hey guys I want to know y’all’s thoughts on my base and my cyclops and if I need some more stuff

[warm geyser]

Love the entrance partition on the large room, that's a nice way to section it. Great colour scheme on the cyclops, looks amazing

[nova roost]

What do you guys think?
This is my first time playing Subnautica, and that's what I had built so far in my base

This is my storage room 👆

And this is my crafting/resting room 👆

The two multipurpose rooms with hatches, both contain bio reactors, and I built some solar panels, too

There are 2 other large empty rooms, which I don't know what to build in, any suggestions?

[brazen crest]

Thx for the feedback

[warm geyser]

Alien containment are good for the space and have practical use while being pretty. Especially if you put oculus or reginalds in for the bioreactors. Or the counters and lab equipment in a mock lab, or making a coffee station bench setup

[brazen crest]

Alright guys so I’ve been doing lots of expanding to my base the past couple hours and this is what I’ve don’t and I’m thinking this is where I’ll end off my base let me know what you thing of the expansion.

[placid juniper]

I will never understand people who build a base in the Blood Kelp zone/trench. I find the biome dark and kinda boring. Seeing the Blood Kelp glow at night is cool, but I don’t wanna live in the same neighborhood as Warpers, Crabsquids, Ampeels, etc.

I almost always build my base in the Grassy Plateaus because it’s pretty to look at and has decent resources.

[brazen crest]

I did build my base in grassy plateaus the pillar I started my base on tho was right by that revine so I just thought that I’d extend my base down there on top of being in grassy plateaus

[warm geyser]

Honestly can see the appeal of that location, especially when you have a way to exit the base outside the trench if you need. I may be insane but I'm seriously considering the northern blood kelp zone's lost river entrance as a base location for my survival game. Made one as an experiment in creative and kinda love the location, just outside the river itself, but honestly not sure if I could survive the terror of the hostile creatures actually being hostile and having to worry about dying. It's not exactly my choice of entrance for the list river

[tardy dagger]

guys is this a good place to ask for ideas for my base?

[tropic valve]

I wanna live in the same neighbourhood as ampeels and crabsquids cause they're cool 😤😤

[placid juniper]

Absolutely

What kinda ideas are you looking for?

[placid juniper]

I prefer the Mountain corridor because there’s plenty of room for the Cyclops. Before I knew about the Mountain entrance, I was trying to maneuver my Cyclops through the deep Grand Reef like a moron

[warm geyser]

And here I am eyeing the blood kelp trench 😅

[sterile sand]

I used the Mountains corridor as an entrance once and my impressions were...
Well, the thing is, I never managed to complete said journey, because the ampeels in the Bulb Zone forced me to keep my shield on at all times
I was down to 36% power before entering the Lost River
Least favorite entrance by far

[warm geyser]

Yikes, sounds like a nightmare. I'm kind of glad that I'm paranoid enough to have a locker with several charged power cells in my cyclops before I've managed to get into a situation that needs them

[tardy dagger]

Tbh my base is kinda empty

And my base is in the grand reef....

This is what it looks like

[sterile sand]

That's not the grand reef...

[tardy dagger]

Wait no it's the lost River

[warm geyser]

Indoor planters and plant pots can help add colour, and you could use an empty space as an indoor greenhouse style arrangement with wall planters and panels as well. Lantern fruits work well as decorative and usefull, but there's also voxel shrubs and grub baskets. If you want to decorate the walls, picture frames could be good, and wall shelves if you have things to put on them. If you want to fill a space in a room, then a counter, coffee machine, vending machine and trashcan combo can work well like a floating kitchen island in a canteen - could work in your cafeteria like room. That and making a lab looking area for decoration if you wanted to fill space

Beyond that, I've found that 2 glass L shapes arranged in a u turn makes for a pretty nice viewing platform from a room or corridoor

[tardy dagger]

Tbh my neighbor the ghost leviathan I named his jimmy

[tired kayak]

Hi everybody, can you guys rate my base. I made it in creative and I need advises pls

[crude cobalt]

It looks good but it could use some more decoration. I myself am a big fan of planting kelp by my base for the yellow glow. Maybe some windows in the big block of large rooms?

[tired kayak]

I completely agree, I just didn't have time to add details but I will. Like kelp between large rooms

I was wondering if I can add a 2nd floor but I don't know how it will be looking

[warm geyser]

Looks great layout wise, good organisation and looks good aesthetically, maybye more windows in the upper large rooms or make a little LL observatory linking two slots in a u shape as a viewing deck, and if you want to decorate outside exterior growbeds are great

[tired kayak]

Ok I see thks

Mb I found my base a bit large and flat

[warm geyser]

Finally got around to taking pictures of my creative project, a sort of test base for a lot of moonpools for both seamoth and prawnsuits, that Im trialing to find the best layouts. Plan is to create a small fleet of specialised suits to experiment with the upgrades without having to worry about the practicalities (eg putting 4 storage modules in a seamoth).

[tired kayak]

I love ur idea with the observatory

[gentle maple]

Making a hotel-like base

[gentle maple]

one of the vip rooms

[warm geyser]

That looks great!

[gentle maple]

Still not done yet, need to add stuff on the wall shelves and what not

[warm geyser]

The interiors are gorgeous, and I love the idea of using the desk as part of the bed. The little cafe area is incredible.

[gentle maple]

And I'm done

[brazen crest]

Guys I have finally had the guts to make myself a void research base let me know what yall think

[faint sapphire]

How do I make the huge rooms?

[distant minnow]

In Sn1 or BZ?

[warm geyser]

In subnautica, once you get the blueprints for the multipurpose room you should also get the blueprints for the large room. Not sure about below zero.

[distant minnow]

In BZ you need to scan the room seperately

[pseudo rain]

the most impractical base ever

donut base

[warm geyser]

Think I'm finished on my blood kelp zone/lost river entrance base. Should be doable as a survival base although the location may change, I think I like the overall arrangement. Thoughts?

[warm geyser]

Good views though 😆
I wonder, does this class as an alien containment unit from the perspective of 4546B?

[pseudo rain]

one of the compartments has to remain empty so it can be deconstructed to add a hatch to enter or exit lmao

[warm geyser]

Yh, figured that would be the only way to get a doughnut base (if only hatches couls be put on L compartments), but this would make a surprisingly decent mini base arrangement with the empty on being a T or X segment.

[pseudo rain]

also, is a base the size of this layout i have here doable for survival

with costs in mind for survival

[lone kernel]

How do you get in?????

[pseudo rain]

still working on entrences to the large rooms

mainly just a concept rn

[lone kernel]

I meant the donut haha, but that’s looking good!

[warm geyser]

Yes but it will be a lot of resources, accounting for the base integrity shouldn't be too much of an issue if you have a good foundation setup and reinforce / bulkhead when needed if you're expanding a lot.

[blazing bobcat]

chair room

[polar swift]

FIREEE

[shrewd scroll]

From an old game save. Perspective is a bit off, it's a composite of 3 pics.

[lone kernel]

That’s incredible

[warm geyser]

Reminds me of the petronas towers

[warm geyser]

Does anyone have any advice for making a pretty looking growbed arrangement, like what plants look good together?

[cinder oasis]

Banana

[cinder oasis]

Creepvine and blood kelp

[shrewd scroll]

Kumquats

[normal ingot]

I personally love what I did in this room

[placid juniper]

That’s a lot of decorations holy moly

[normal ingot]

thx

[placid juniper]

Replace the wall planters with windows and that might be my ideal Subnautica bedroom
