[rough spear]

alr ty but how do i get multitool

[tender galleon]

the fabricator shows the recipe its in the lifepod

[rough spear]

whats the fabricator

[nova summit]

spoiler so u dont know everything at the start ||hahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhaahahahahahahahahah||. then you can do whatever and progress in ur own way

[tender galleon]

dude😭

[rough spear]

what i literally got the game yesterday played for like 5 mins and js went in the ocean bc after that i had to go to bed

[severe sedge]

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1-PsiTVusUXtgoouslsFsVxO2ATf1BzoQfWYvuMQvekA/edit?usp=sharing photo and baseplan if u want to build it

[rancid jewel]

thats beautiful🤩

[severe sedge]

ty

the link has some weird directions cuz of my adhd but i think its understandable?

[rancid jewel]

yea i saw it and it is

[lost spoke]

tuff

[severe sedge]

ty
i put the build plan under

[lost spoke]

never understood why everyone makes the moonpool at the bottom

[severe sedge]

so i can see the garden from the 2nd and 3rd story

[lost spoke]

I usually make it at the top jutting out

[severe sedge]

u can do that to the back of the half-round rooms 2nd story

[pallid tulip]

think im happy for the time beeing. need more deco and workstation stuff to build a lab inside buuuut makin due

[severe sedge]

cool

[sweet tartan]

Looks really cool! Where did you locate it?

[celest vessel]

rate my base (ignore phantomek)

[cold path]

I’m getting increasingly frustrated with not being able to put a hatch on top of a corridor. Also that rooms don’t default to snapping on top of the room below, takes forever to align them right. And not being able to stretch the half round room, which isn’t actually half round. More like half oval.

[balmy sedge]

this is mine

[twilit talon]

Stylistic opinions wanted; should I use the window column or the two portholes?

[lost spoke]

use both

but if I had to pick one I do kinda prefer the two portholes.

really depends on how you feel though because I am by no means a expert

[tulip trout]

Does anyone know how to add the wall mount to attach things? I’m trying to have fits or a tank to give a vibe to it

[bold gale]

holy

[lost spoke]

tuff garden

[twilit talon]

Yea but they don’t usually work in nooks I don’t think. You should be able to place one down then attack anything in your hand to it.

[tulip trout]

I don’t think I’ve unlocked it anyway😭

[lost spoke]

where do people even find the bed and shelves

[cold path]

How did you do the small sections that stick out from the room by the windows?

[lost spoke]

They are called Nooks

[tulip trout]

I can share the site but the peeps I play with found these

[cold path]

Inside existing bases

[twilit talon]

If you mean the nooks, it’s unlockable blueprints. Otherwise I go to add more wall, then shorten it to just one wide. It’s left on the cross if you use controller.

Progress!

[maiden light]

Me and my friends main base but he is playing forza 6 😔😔😔

[tulip trout]

After looking at the spoiler map, I’m pretty sure it’s a data box

[cyan maple]

wdm insuficient space to dock

[maiden light]

I’m

[twilit talon]

Yea the space thing is very picky.

[cyan maple]

fr

[pearl hatch]

have they fixed the base building bugs yet?

[tulip trout]

There was an update but idk

[rapid hazel]

No I dont think they fixed any of that stuff. Tho we should be expecting it next hotfix.

[tulip trout]

I’ve moved bases twice because of glitches. Lost hundreds of mat in storages because it’s suppose to transfer too. Would not recommend

[cold path]

Ouch

[tulip trout]

Yeah lmao base 3.0

Won’t catch me slippin again

[cold path]

Looking forward to someday being able to do a mega-base like I had in BZ.

[tulip trout]

Dayum

[cold path]

No vertical connectors yet, no hatches on top…. And that was just the above ground section. LoL

[rocky crypt]

Damn that's not base its a headquarters

[tulip trout]

Frfr

[cold path]

Go big or go home. Oh wait, I can’t go home. So keep going bigger!

[tulip trout]

Currently feeding the baby while my food and water drop 1000m + from my base

Lordy bee this is gonna be a fun ol’ time finding my way back

[rocky crypt]

They should need to cook on base building parts

[cold path]

I’m still playing with some things in SN2, no screenshots yet.

[tulip trout]

I wish there was a fab on my tad. Looking forward to seeing what you do!

[cold path]

I’m missing Seatruck life…

[lost spoke]

I'm thinking of adding like a third floor that like juts out even more to form like two-four seperate moonpools

[cold path]

Sweet

[harsh cypress]

Downloaded mods to make big aquariums for leviathans, do NOT attempt what i did

[empty beacon]

reminds me of a datacenter

uh i made a survival base

[unkempt robin]

Why would you need that many rooms

[cold path]

Because it looks cool? Gotta show those aliens that humans can build too.

[empty beacon]

for rooms

[cold path]

Need lots of resources to build parking space too.

[unkempt robin]

Jesus

[unique lintel]

youre supposed to be in the aquarium 😭

[cold path]

Good to know some things never change…

Lovely garden

[polar gazelle]

cant wait for them to add foundations or platforms or whatever

[tulip trout]

I found the wall mount and signs 🙏🙏

🥰

I love the yellow lights

[stray hearth]

You guys like my pet?

[unique lintel]

how do you do this 😭

[bright bison]

Most likely those mods everyones been using to make aquariums

[unique lintel]

oh, i can make aquariums without mods, the problem is all my fish keep teleporting, and my waxmoon which had an aquarium built around the point it got teleported to despawned

[bright bison]

Yeah thats why they use the mods it makes them not glitch out of the tank

[west isle]

the water and flash slugs dont tp out 🙂

[bright bison]

Neither do surge jellys i have a big tank of them

[unique lintel]

i really want my waxmoon back so hopefully they add eggs or commands to spawn creatures, as i prefer not to use mods

[bright bison]

They're adding eggs soon i think

[harsh cypress]

mods but legit got tired of it its boring

trust me do NOT make mega bases or huge aquariums

[drifting matrix]

double office visualy connected with a aquarium; we're a lil proud lol

[unique lintel]

uh... thats kind of too late... i built several aquariums including a huge one with a waxmoon

[harsh cypress]

dont make too many ur pc will genuinely give up

[unique lintel]

ok thanks for letting me know

[harsh cypress]

gotchu

[polar gazelle]

this is tragic

[maiden light]

Why is it not perfectly even

Awnser my qostin

[craggy walrus]

I made a VIP alien containment in a VIP multipurpose room full of windows for my single hoverfish

[polar gazelle]

i custom made a nook instead

[maiden light]

He is the king and we are his subjects

[polar gazelle]

it is perfectly even, the nook isnt snapping to center tho

[maiden light]

Yippe

[craggy walrus]

How did you even come up with such a beautiful design

[polar gazelle]

leviathan in first image

[unique lintel]

you NEED a big tower in the middle back (still fire btw)

[polar gazelle]

maybe maybe...

[unique lintel]

yes you see the vision? not super tall tho

[craggy walrus]

yk most base designs I saw were all boxy and boring but this one.. Wow

[polar gazelle]

thank youuuu... its a mixup of a few things i got inspired on from here, specifically the bedroom side rooms with half round rooms

it does need windows on another side tho heheh it isnt quitee done yet

[polar gazelle]

heres nighttime at the farm... i love the glow sm

[craggy walrus]

I love the exterior lights

[crimson gazelle]

https://youtu.be/K_2rXmiAdqM?si=0yE3hRWbic4IBZQs

[maiden light]

What horrors have you seen to have this much storage

[polar gazelle]

feel free to use the design <3

[craggy walrus]

I don't play SN2

[polar gazelle]

awww

[ruby crane]

clean

[forest basin]

The most accurate depiction of an effective power source

[polar gazelle]

oh my god you can put ||axum wall lamps|| outside???

[blissful oxide]

the future, in 2028, titanium ingots will cost 10 titanium again

[maiden light]

https://tenor.com/view/surprised-sorprendido-shaquille-oneal-gif-23222312

[blissful oxide]

heed my warning

[winged pulsar]

Are you powering a country of your base bro?

[smoky summit]

I expanded my base on my Xbox solo survival game who wants to see it ??

[blissful oxide]

this is fine

[paper sun]

That’s fine

[maiden light]

Me I need inspiration

[paper sun]

Emergency power storage take me now

[paper sun]

That’s what this channel is here for :D

[smoky summit]

I know that but I like to ask first

[twilit talon]

I’ll load a night picture soon, all of the orange fiery plant light looks epic!

[rapid hazel]

Woah....

[dim eagle]

I love the purple glow in this biome. I just sit in my room and read through my pdas from the day's adventures

[rapid hazel]

I was thinking of building in that biome but I had already built a base and it was coming along pretty well. I think I may build there in a future save

[twilit talon]

I want to build like a small cozy vacation base there haha.🤣

[harsh cypress]

i wanna make another shiver aquarium but my pc would beg not to

[rapid hazel]

I love cozy places. I built my base pretty decently big. I've shrinked it a bit and have tried to make it cozy with the orange lights (works great rn)

I'm finding it so hard to decorate because of how limited we are currently ;-;

[harsh cypress]

u can use items like advanced wiring kit as deko

[rapid hazel]

ye but im talking more items to work with. Like chairs, tables, etc etc

[harsh cypress]

yeah i get you

[rapid hazel]

Doing a smaller base rn is easiser because you can fill it in easier but for bigger bases its proven to be more difficult 😅 (at least for me rn)

Tho my base has been coming along really well I would say.

[harsh cypress]

i want more sub 1 refs

[rapid hazel]

That would be cool

[smoky summit]

I have one room in my base that’s just a connector piece to get to the second floor and my storage room it has a window a ladder and a corridor which leads to my storage room plus the second floor only exists because my tadpole didn’t fit on the bottom floor

[pearl hatch]

I really think doing this should keep the device on when outside with base power, I want to have bubbles flowing outside my base and to have a vibe

same with all the other utility stuff

[quasi bolt]

Do you know why can't I deconstruct the wall

[leaden flint]

Made an aquarium, took more resourcers than fixing the axum turbine lol

[pearl hatch]

bug at the moment, only way is to refund base, or wait until the next hotfix

[quasi bolt]

@pearl hatch thx

[cold path]

I’d love to be able to stack one room on top of another, then on the inside be able to remove the floor from part of the top room, or ceiling from the bottom. Then put in a nice staircase to walk upstairs…

Two story floor to ceiling windows…

[pearl hatch]

100%, like the original idea for large room in below zero, but it wasn't able to be done because of performance issues I think, but maybe Unreal Engine is different

[cold path]

I’ve not hit any performance issues at all yet, playing on a Steam Deck. Which supposedly wasn’t supposed to support the game at all originally.

[twilit talon]

Basically finished, just some wall decorations in a few spots!

[pearl hatch]

I'm talking about Below Zero's development, in a teaser or something it showed large rooms stacked with a opening in the floor inbetween for stairs, but from I recall it had performance issues so it wasn't implemented

[cold path]

I don’t remember that bit, but I didn’t play BZ until it was out about a year. I let the negative comments bias me.

It quickly became my favorite game.

[stark frigate]

oh I love what you did with the tower thats so nice

[twilit talon]

Tyty! I went back and forth a lot haha

I really struggle here trying to decorate flat surfaces.

[tulip trout]

Makin some changes

[pearl hatch]

am I the only one who thinks the lights should only consume half of what they currently have for power

[twilit talon]

Agreed. Light power consumption is pretty high.

[tulip trout]

I feel like the yellow light ones shouldn’t affect power but that’s just me

[blissful copper]

how do you make a aquarium in subnautica 2?

[tulip trout]

I think there’s a couple of different ways. I put a room in an open rectangle with windows looking out, garden plots to fill the space, then added a box on top but it has to be aligned perfectly without gaps or the fish will get out

[blissful copper]

i see

[tulip trout]

You may die doing this with lack of oxygen or plants if you use the lighting ones. If you need help I just need the materials and I can build where ever for you but that’s completely up to you. Check YT too if need be

It’s pretty cool but I’m sure there are other ways. This is just how my brain computed the information after I saw a fb vid

[blissful copper]

alright thanks

will my dropped items despawn when i leave my world (Trying some stuff for desks)

[sly flower]

Fish

[pure zephyr]

yo what

[twilit talon]

The items you attach to the hard points will definitely not despawn. I’ve heard mixed things about dropped items. Same say they glitch through the floor on log in.

[sly flower]

Fish

[tulip trout]

I added some water, heals, food, glass, and copper wire. Stuff that’s replaceable if need be

[shut cliff]

My base pretty good

[rancid marsh]

Anyone know how I can detach these two rooms that I conjoined 😅

[twilit talon]

Strange. It could be the solar panels maybe? Other option would be to destroy one of the two entire rooms/sections I guess?

[rancid marsh]

Left room is all storage so I guess I’ll have to take all the decor out of the right room and just shrink it piece by piece 🥲

[twilit talon]

Sorry I don’t know a better way. :/

[deft laurel]

No bases, just energy

[tulip trout]

This exact reason why I’ve been forced to refund base twice on my third now and I’m being careful. Just a heads up if you have to, it doesn’t include whatever is in locker storage

[open wedge]

Compact base. Standing on Modification Station, rarely used and noisy if pass it, so put it at farthest corner.

[tulip trout]

And it did it again 😭

I think it’s the yellow lights on the wall that muck it up

This is the most I can expand in this area

[pearl hatch]

cozy vibes

also the current outside

game may or may not now have a hiccup every once and a while when building

[misty ferry]

love how cozy the axum lights make everything

[tulip trout]

I reported to bug but idk hopefully they can figure it out

[pearl hatch]

controlable dimness on lights when Unknown Worlds?

[boreal spindle]

Farm Observatory with metal farms under it and about 450 power (connected to all my bases in the area)

[lilac osprey]

I’m having a problem where one very specific nook on my base will not deconstruct

[tulip trout]

Did you have a yellow light on the wall before hand?

[lilac osprey]

It says it has attachments, but it has no attachments?? I swear I removed everything inside and around it but I’m getting nothing

[tulip trout]

I’m dealing with the same thing - I put in a bug ticket but idk

[lilac osprey]

Uh oh-ers

[tulip trout]

Yeah look up a little bit

I know it’s betta but jeezzzzzz it’s annoying

[lilac osprey]

Yeah I was trying to do the same thing with the walls funnily enough. I was trying to cave them in to make a little aquarium-esque, but I needed to remove the nook first and then, well

[rose needle]

chat about building bugs and work arounds here?

has anyone found work arounds to fix invisible barriers? at one point a pod in my base was larger, I shrunk it for testing and now I cant put it back. on a different pod wall, I once had glass- removed it for the same test and that doesnt go back either

[tulip trout]

It’s for anything build!

Yeah man it’s rough

Yeah dealing with the same thing so is saint

Must be a big ‘ol bug going on rn

[round lintel]

Any tips for a first time player on building a base? (Sub 1)

[rose needle]

sry thought you meant coming from sub 1 to 2, so my info was irrelevant

[lilac osprey]

Ooh this reminds me. Not really build related but bug related; I found a noclip spot in the ||hot caves|| biome which was pretty interesting. Don’t remember where exactly, but I thought I might throw that out there

[digital holly]

Thank you!! I am trying my best to make it look lived in and cozy! Hopefully we get our trusty coffee ☕️ machine and all the decor from Subnautica and Below Zero added one day! 🤞🏽🤞🏽

[scarlet pawn]

Main Settlement, not quite finished but thought I could give an update. Any ideas to improve it?

[digital holly]

Love it!!! Did you fully decorate the inside?

[scarlet pawn]

Basically yeah, there's two rooms that aren't done but one is going to be another ladder up so idk yet and the other is eventually going to be another moon pool for wtv new vehicles come out, so yk

[regal vault]

How did you get the stuff on the table? Did you just drop it and leave it there, or is there some decor i havent found

[celest geode]

you can place tools and stuff on the tables, but i believe those were dropped

[smoky summit]

Who wants a tour of my solo Xbox survival base

[silk cipher]

Idk what happened but my all axiam bacterial culture disappear , and now i have only 1 axiam culture :(( pls devs add more axiam culture

[nimble harbor]

Lunar once i was playing SN2 and we went to the alien base and when we came back everything was gone the only exeption were our tadpoles because we drove them to the alien base and we didnt wanna rebuild it and it was just too much to handle because we poured our soul into that and its all just gone... 😭

We had 8 hrs on that world...

[digital holly]

Another room decorated! 😊

[smoky summit]

Need ideas/inspiration for what to add on to my solo run survival base

[tired rapids]

I have the best base known to Man. I'm the only one who has Jelly Fish Entrance

[digital holly]

loll had a visitor in the middle of decorating! 🤣

Decor idea for the Nook! 🙃

[cosmic obsidian]

is there a way to place just a platform

[lost spoke]

no

[cosmic obsidian]

dang, I wanted a plant section outside

[lost spoke]

use growbeds

[tranquil monolith]

is my base good but im not the best at deco yet

[hollow flame]

Definetely advertisement material.

[tranquil monolith]

also outside of base

[smoky summit]

What should I add on to my base in my solo survival game

[cobalt sun]

@floral portal

[dry dagger]

base check!

[calm tiger]

sick, this is already the 4th time i cannot deconstruct again

i now have 3 walls in my base i cannot remove and its just really irking

[flat perch]

Btw guys what is this? I see it in so many peoples buidls and idk what it is

[void plinth]

portable oxygen generator i think, basically useless once you get the tadpole

[flat perch]

ohh thx what bout this?

[void plinth]

axum wall lamp. From the tadpole pens. Gives a warm yellow light which I personally like

[flat perch]

tysm!

[jovial river]

you are using shrink mode

[void plinth]

Full base tour, built right below the alien observatory marker and blended into the terrain. The storage room is spacious, with plenty of room for furhter expansion, followed by the crafting hub. The hallway on the left leads to the NoA room while the one on the right leads to the "meeting room" as well as my room. Down the ladder is the moonpool which drops directly into the thermal cave below.

[jovial river]

i think you need delete arch first, becase its says has attachments

[calm tiger]

can't

it won't let me delete both the arch and the wall

[void plinth]

Then there's the farmland, with my ground's keeper as shown by the red arrow. I've only recently began planting so it's still bare for now.

Finally we have the Collector Highway, leading from the end game area all the way to the thermal one. Each station is equipped with a top and bottom viewing decks in case I want to study the leviathan. The walls to the highway itself are lined with glass for easy viewing while still sturdy enough for protection. I specifically enjoy how the last photo turned out

[thorny fiber]

are you sure that the farm land is not a fighting arena

[void plinth]

uhhh, I'll have to ask my groundskeeper about that. I don't know who he rents it out to during my expeditions

He came to say hi

[cursive canopy]

i tried to build like that. didnt quite place the base right tho. oh well

[void plinth]

It took me a few tries as well. It was disheartening when I had halfway of it done and It didn't line up like I wanted with it's patrol route. I refunded and built it back up again

[void plinth]

You're on shrink mode I think

[calm tiger]

doesn't work on both shrink and deconstruct

[void plinth]

Mind lending me the world code? Maybe I can figure it out

[blazing geyser]

spend a little too much time on a mega base

[thorny fiber]

have the same bug but in a different way and i couldnt maked this room smaller for now i just hide it away to the day its fixed

[calm tiger]

if u are able to that'd be cool but so far that wall, arch and this wall are just not able to delete

[void plinth]

I'll see what I can do

[flat perch]

Honestly thats the biome to build in my opinion

[south dirge]

Rate my base : 3

[warm sierra]

I have a theory it is about the "move" function of the habitat builder, I was having it really often and it stopped after I stopped using move

[calm tiger]

luckily Copper was able to help me with the problem for that one but it was the growbed that was on top that was stopping me from deleting that specific arch

[solemn cloud]

Here's a megabase I built in the first game. Only recently finished it for the first time.

[flat perch]

I dare you to rebuild that around the tree in subnautica 2

[solemn cloud]

I'm gonna wait until the full release so it's gonna be a while before that happens

[void plinth]

Bro really came to the tree 💀

[solid heron]

shiver will rip everything

[flat perch]

good observatory

[solid heron]

im so lucky theres not structural integrity thing in s2

[void plinth]

there will be... Sadly

[flat perch]

nooooo

[solid heron]

my base is near the angel comb 😭

[void plinth]

I mean, the collector builds stuff around him. Like, if you place a room blueprint it get's instantly completed. That signals that leviathans will have interactions with bases in the future

[solid heron]

damn , have u finished sn2?

[solemn cloud]

It's a nice spot to build a base

[void plinth]

4 times already

[solid heron]

ou im still mid game

[void plinth]

it's not that complicated to go past him, just stick close to the ground or near the early acess walls and you're golden

[solid heron]

just made the speed tadpole attachment yesterday

also i picked up zips blackbox but i still cant enter the tadpole pen noa fsr

[void plinth]

the one RIGHT on top of the roots? There are two down there I think, so check carefully

[solid heron]

f...

[wanton jungle]

im new whats a good way to start my base like whats a good shape

[void plinth]

square

[solid heron]

room room room hatch

[void plinth]

all jokes aside, it depends on your style. I personally improvise as I go, trying to blend into the enviorment as much as I can

[flat perch]

I thought thats jsut a glitch

[wanton jungle]

coppor could we call and you help me iwth the game im a little confused

[solid heron]

bro ur on a 12 hour run what could possibly be confusing

[wanton jungle]

huh

[void plinth]

uhhh sure!

And @flat perch yeah, it is a glitch but that doesn't change the fact that levis interact with bases in some way

[lost spoke]

holy moly

[smoky summit]

Would someone be willing to look over my base in game and tell me what could be done better or added on

[flat perch]

just send pic

[smoky summit]

I did I will send them again

Here it is

[lost spoke]

urban sprawl

[solid heron]

looks better than mine

[flat perch]

Well, I suggest more windows and posters

[solid heron]

add a farm too maybe (could help with bio reactor)

[smoky summit]

Thanks but I just made it up as I went if Im totally honest and put stuff where I could fit them

[flat perch]

and add like bedrooms and kitcens to make it feel more alive

[solid heron]

lmao same ill send mine in a bit once im free

[smoky summit]

I haven’t found fragments for anything like that yet unfortunately and IDK where to look haha

[flat perch]

The farm is at the alien ruins

[solid heron]

me neither lol ill get it tdy

[smoky summit]

Noted will head back down there

[flat perch]

there are 2 parts to it. One is on top the the ruin and the other is on the outside of the ruin on the ground. Also actual name is Growbed

[smoky summit]

Growbed got it thankyou internet peeps

[void plinth]

There's ONE more growbed fragment, even if you only need two... There's one on the cliff between the ||powerplant and the metal farms|| right at the edge of the early access barrier. There's also a data card there with a tadpole upgrade that reduces noise

[flat perch]

Guys how do you get the sign?

[void plinth]

it's just a sign with emojies on it

[flat perch]

no like how do you get a sign in general

[void plinth]

uhhh well, um... It's not through fragments, that I know, but I can't pinpoint when exactly I unlocked it in my playthrough. Maybe a data card in the later areas

[flat perch]

oh alr its sign ill just look it up thx anyway😅

[smoky summit]

Got it 👍🏻

[versed breach]

Probably going to remake it soon, or make it bigger, because i want to make a really pretty and well decorated base and this one i squeezed into a small space, but still figured id share it

[tulip trout]

Oh no!!!!

[pallid jungle]

[smoky summit]

Got it but IDK what to grow first haha

[slim harness]

This is my base for now..

[quartz arrow]

Anyone made base near alien ruins/ research outpost ?

[tired rapids]

Yea, statistically its the best place to build a base

[paper sun]

I don’t think any resources are absent from the area

They’re ALL there

[paper sun]

Remember to hide game spoilers, use two | on both sides

[quartz arrow]

i think there is less lead there and fishes

[narrow granite]

I don't think there's any lithium present.

[desert vortex]

Yes I did

[astral fossil]

for the half circle room. should I build them on top of the others rooms or attached? (the rooms are mostly squared

[heavy urchin]

[final salmon]

guys , i wanted to make base in jellyshroom biome but the snakes concern me, are they hostile?

[serene timber]

Only if u get really close

Or if u go in their mushrooms

[final salmon]

ok then ill try to build there

[tired rapids]

Wdym, theres heck ton of lithium in one of those magma deposits

[narrow granite]

I do not remember that.

[paper sun]

That’s true TT

[quartz arrow]

lithium is more in hot biome

[paper sun]

The fish hasn’t been an issue yet (given you stock up) and the lead is shockingly plentiful

[deft pebble]

I’d love to see more flexibility for multi-level base building. It would be amazing if we could open up the floors/ceilings between levels to create larger connected interior spaces. A proper staircase system would also be a huge improvement, since the ladder-only solution feels a bit clunky and unrealistic. These features would make bases feel much more immersive and creative. Thanks for all your work so far — the game is awesome!

[paper sun]

There’s a couple pretty good lead spots scattered around

[quartz arrow]

i did some rounds but didnt find much lead

[paper sun]

There’s some behind the ||research base||

[quartz arrow]

yes

[paper sun]

Scanner room really works wonders for lead tho.

[quartz arrow]

ladder feels uncomfortable it when u have to go more that 2 floor high

i did make one base near hot biome for lead and lithium am planning to go near alien ruins now

[paper sun]

I built in the hell cave :D

[smoky summit]

I built close to the lifepod and just never moved

[paper sun]

So real

[quartz arrow]

life pod is good in early

[paper sun]

I always have a tiny minimalist base and a big fun base

[brazen coral]

9/10 not enough cherimoya rotsacs

[narrow granite]

I hope you like mercury poisoning.

[brazen coral]

a small price to pay

[tired rapids]

Brother is going to cure world hunger

[narrow granite]

If you make some chutney out of it, you'll have mercury and lead poisoning. A perfect combination.

[tired rapids]

If you're the only one left alive in a planet and you starve, would that be considered as world hunger? 🤔

[narrow granite]

I think Proteus has worse problems than world hunger, lol.

[brazen coral]

not if you stumble across my patented cherimoya lighthouse

[quartz arrow]

dont worry NoA will reprint you😂 he wont let u die in peace unless it piece

this was what i made after scrolling through here i dont have clear image rn

[proud forge]

I tried it

[silk cipher]

Base is Completed finally

[twilit talon]

Looks awesome! I like the asymmetry of it!

[silk cipher]

thanks i like that too

[jagged warren]

Workshopping a Protected Zone base idea where the moonpool goes into this cave below

[sly void]

Nice

[jagged warren]

Having a lot of fun with the gateway spires b/c they'll just shoot you right into your moonpool room lol

[sly void]

I haven’t played yet I have to buy it

[blissful schooner]

ngl i copied the alien ruins base

[fallen oyster]

I can't wait to buy the game, it looks so good

[fallen oyster]

They kept the poster🥲 , let's goo

[stoic basalt]

Its so good

[proud monolith]

where did you get the display tank with the little seamoth inside?

[versed breach]

That was a twitch reward from watching a stream prior to game launch, not sure if itll ever be available again

[proud monolith]

ah ok thx

[graceful urchin]

visually pleasing

[fallen oyster]

How are you in a vehicle in your base?

[graceful urchin]

no, i'm inside a glass tube

[fallen oyster]

But you have the electricity and health stats at the bottom right

[twilit talon]

She is in SubNautica 1

[graceful urchin]

its a mod lol

[fallen oyster]

ohhhh, makes sense😂

[latent pulsar]

Why does it have the power & health bar on the bottom right like a vehicle?

[fallen oyster]

It do be visually pleasing though

[merry hamlet]

that looks awesome

[frail prism]

why do I have to look a specific way pixel perfect to be able to curve my corridor?

[rose needle]

anyone got a fix for this before I nuke a 90 hour save and start over again

[quartz nacelle]

Chat, any idea to decorate more around the bed to make it look more like a bedroom

[dry dagger]

more furniture

[stable patrol]

desk and chair maybe? also inner wall and a door

[twilit talon]

Are you able to build under it so that it gets a support?

[quartz nacelle]

Cant create a wall

[rose needle]

not really. its under a cliff with nothing below it. I built out from the top, then down. idr what the original height off the top of the shelf was to match it

thats left over from "delete base" function in the menu. should've come with it but now this area is just bricked

im gonna upload some cool photos of my first base before the save file gets nuked

[dull kite]

Where can I get this carpet and that window?

[forest basin]

Some data chip thing I think in a black box location, never seen it I want that

[carmine linden]

Getting mogged by all the other bases in here 😭

[carmine linden]

I found the window piece at the hotbar upgrade in the lava zone

[quartz nacelle]

cant add walls but added some furniture

[soft badger]

best base ive seen so far, keeping this video for future reference

[rose needle]

thank you! this was before I learned I could change the corners of windows lol. never decided to tweak it before starting the new save just now

[carmine mauve]

how do you make windows look hexagonal idk how else to describe it

[soft badger]

you select window and click on the edges of a built window

[carmine mauve]

thank you

[rose needle]

I would also like to recommend, at least for now, to NOT build where I built. as gorgeous as it is, it happens to be the furthest from the mid and end game. quite literally on the furthest edge of the map away from all the progress. the facepalm I gave myself was unreal.

second build note (the reason I'm starting over) is to not build near the edges of rock walls if you can help it, or to be extremely deliberate in your placement if you do. the rock walls act as 'attachments' to the base walls and prevent edits and even removal

[frank timber]

this site lets you search: https://subnautica2.gg/map but it has some spoilers, if you haven't discovered the entire currently available map. The window is the Nook, and the rug is Tailing rug.

oh, missed the scroll. That was answering a question from @dull kite

[blissful pumice]

Rate the base

[trim marten]

This was my first survival base!

[dull kite]

Ty I've already finished it so no spoilers

[tepid patio]

There is an option in main menu called refund base. If you click on it, it will bring up a list of all the bases with the internal volume and other key features in each one.

And in front of each line there'll be a button to click on that says look at it, and the screen will move directly towards the base you wanna deconstruct.

If you click or tap refund, it will create a beacon that when interacted with, you will access an inventory where all raw or processed materials will be stored for you to take back.

It's like a forced deconstruct that will work no matter what invisible attachments are there.

This measure was placed so that you can deconstruct any base that might be in the way of future game updates in which the terrain will change or they will add new objects in the vicinity

[maiden light]

192736373 farms out of 10

[quartz nacelle]

Mostly done, just need to grow more plants

[rich anchor]

omg that's so cool, it'll make the interior cooler lol
context: studies have shown that if you place plants on the roof of the house, temperatures will go down as they create shadow for it and they reflect green light, which is the spectrum that the sun produces the most

[quartz nacelle]

broo, this guy been hitting my base since i started building it, when will he go away

[potent gale]

he wont 🗣️

[blissful pumice]

yall think my moonpool on the right big enough for the sub thats coming out soon?

[unreal rune]

i wish i could see your base better, but it looks big enough right now. no idea about the size of incoming sub size

[soft badger]

My autism is tingling

[quartz nacelle]

how do i get the rug blueprint

[scarlet pawn]

Base update

[celest geode]

working on a nice, cozy little bedroom design, going to build it out to a full base soon.

[carmine mauve]

are you able to make the power lines invisible?

[celest geode]

dont build them
thats how

[rose needle]

kind of. the blue beams will go through terrain. so I run it along the inside of caves and rock cliffs to not see it from most/any angle

[carmine mauve]

i see

[pure oriole]

first time i've decorated a base

[crystal hedge]

Very beautiful 👏

[frail prism]

how on God’s green earth can I make the nook even with the bulge at the bottom?

[native peak]

Where do you get the nook piece

[celest geode]

you either widen the room, or leave it

[cold path]

Nook can’t be resized, nor can the half round room.

[celest geode]

i hope they change that someday

[simple wharf]

Aquarium concept...

...the fishes keep escaping though🤣

[native peak]

Where do you get the nook piece

[pale crater]

My little cafeteria for my buddy and I's base

[brittle laurel]

Gardening mainly for some moodlighting.

[outer umbra]

There are a dozen data boxes for it all over the map, check all the wrecks. You don't need to cross the trench for it. Data boxes make a very loud ping when you are near an undiscovered one, should be fairly easy to track it down.

[native peak]

yeah idk how I havent gotten it yet

[native peak]

could you give any recomendation as to where I could maybe go to look for one

[frank timber]

this site lets you search: https://subnautica2.gg/map but it has some spoilers, if you haven't discovered the entire currently available map.

[wind carbon]

I did some cool concept for a sub 2 base [Wind Base]

[pale crater]

Looks pretty

[wind carbon]

possibly will attempt to build this in survival but gonna be hard cuz it next to marrowbreach

[native peak]

yo how can I separate two rooms I connected them with a room and now I cant shrink it its so frustrating I actually ruined my base

[pure oriole]

how'd you get the rooms so big without the game deciding it doesn't wanna connect rooms anymore

[wind carbon]

I used expand room, built a foundation room first and then expand it bit by bit

[outer umbra]

? those rooms arent even that big. I've done 3x4 grids of rooms (15x20 tile) for my base with no placement problems

[frank timber]

Hm. That map doens't have the nook, that I can find. sorry.

[pure oriole]

lucky

[native peak]

How do I diconnect two rooms my base is cooked

[wind carbon]

show me a pic

[weak zealot]

I really like how you have played with the windows. Inspirational.

[merry walrus]

How do ppl build on the sides of cliffs?

[outer umbra]

Disassemble the connected rooms and dont use rooms to bridge 2 rooms unless you are 100% sure you want to do a hallway

[wind carbon]

just build it man

[merry walrus]

wym

[outer umbra]

As long as you have one base piece with solved anchor points, you can have the rest hang over anything

[wind carbon]

place rooms near cliff until it appear green, it just works somehow for me and the pillar would extend to the ground

[amber sedge]

can't wait for the base integrity update

[wind carbon]

insanity, collector aquarium? And is this base for crossing the divide to and from Karakorum?

[hollow flame]

Main base, WIP

[amber sedge]

yes it bridges the ruins to the hot biome

[arctic crest]

I present "The Star"

[zealous wharf]

Guys, can anyone tell me if it's even possible to somehow connect the two parts of the base?

[sweet blaze]

take off the hatches and connect where the hatch was from one base to the other

[zealous wharf]

That's not the problem here.

[sweet blaze]

ohhhh yeesh idk

[zealous wharf]

I would like to connect all this haha ​​but alas soon all this cannot be done

[hollow flame]

You cannot connect 2 separate bases built apart.

[zealous wharf]

🥲

[hollow flame]

Always build your base from the same start point, and connecting elements to existing ones.

[outer umbra]

2 different alignment grids, not possible

[hollow flame]

Wait, I'm realising: you tried to connect to the research outpost ^^

[unique lintel]

that happens occassionally... they better add real aquariums soon 🤑

[gentle patio]

That’s SN2, but in SN1 when that happens it is two separate bases where you had a degree orientation that differs. You can’t match them. So you will need disassemble the smaller one - a piece at a time - and add to the larger one.

[rapid hazel]

Bro they really got to fix building because more and more of my base is becoming bugged. There are places that are completely clear of stuff and wont even let me place a window.

[foggy light]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-flush-bang-gif-11612847337750481227

[lament cedar]

B'hold. My base or something (WIP, I'm building it around the garage and then building the rest.

[modest stump]

**My aquarium with my boyfriend ! **

[north veldt]

theyre looking for you

[floral light]

☺️

[flat perch]

I dont think the neighbor likes you

[safe spoke]

Aside from some loud roaring he's fine

[wind carbon]

Anti marrowbreach

[flat perch]

I love the keep calm poster next to it lol

[arctic crest]

u can build down there?

[wind carbon]

maybe modding

[safe spoke]

Not exactly... You'll hit an invisible wall before you get to the bottom - you can build a dive elevator to get past it

[arctic crest]

then howd you build above the invisable wall

[wind carbon]

so you noclip

[safe spoke]

You'll find a black floor that you can kind place a corridor, but it won't allow you to place a hatch... Just found out I can build a half round room, though, and that allows for hatch placement

[wind carbon]

idk man, i couldnt get my tadpole to go deeper there but have to swim there myself, and try glitch it and die of drowning

[safe spoke]

Kind of - that wall works a bit weird, you can't get past it without the dive elevator but you can ascend normally

Still, black floor is rock bottom - can't get past it

[arctic crest]

its probably one sided barrier like how all of the terrain is, you cant go thru one side but if you manage to make it from the other side/under the map you can swim to the front of it

[wind carbon]

bro why could the dev make the easter egg a little more...accessible?

[arctic crest]

they wouldnt be much of an easter egg then

[safe spoke]

Ikr, took me quite some engineering... Made 5 bases total, powerline connecting all the way to surface...

[wind carbon]

no, like something that doesn't required nocliping because it was hard as hell for me to get back there each time

[safe spoke]

And multiple dive elevators

Plus beacons

[arctic crest]

to get down to the face you dont need to noclip, you can take ur seamoth down too 450, then swim to the starting area or O2 then swim all the way down too the face

[arctic crest]

ah i see, i havent used a dive elevator yet, but thats cool i love the base lol

[safe spoke]

Well... Can enjoy peacefully now

[wind carbon]

so elevator to build the base?

[safe spoke]

To get past the invisible wall to the bottom, yup, and then build a half round room on the black floor

And well... Powerline to it... Tricky as well, you'll need to put a terminal above the invisible wall, use the elevator to get past it, and then continue from the other side

[wind carbon]

alr I be back in a few minute with a ss

rip

[twilit talon]

It’s luke skywalker

I wonder if they put a flare nearby somewhere he’s reaching for haha 😆

[flat perch]

He's actually reaching for the habitat builder

[lucid pulsar]

Where is this?

[safe spoke]

|| Big hole near the giant clam, which is where you start the game, ~750m deep ||

[lucid pulsar]

|| Oh i was just their. i was to scared to go further ||

[safe spoke]

|| There is nothing there atm aside from , but maybe there will be in the future 🤞 ||

[supple walrus]

can i join your world

[wind carbon]

@safe spoke couldnt build a base but saw it tho

[safe spoke]

I could only build corridor pieces and a half-round room on that black floor

Regular rooms won't work for some reason... Tried all over it

Also tried to put a corridor at the top of Angry Ball's head - also did not work... Would've been funny tho

[cold path]

A start to my megabase. 10 stories above sea level. I’m not happy with how the room looks from below, gonna work on that more tomorrow. Definitely a work in progress.

For the tower, I stacked rooms from my sea floor base about 100m below. Corridors just below water level to get inside. Stacking rooms above the water took some effort…

Someone else posted a great tip a few days about using spotlights as stairs to climb up to help build the next level. Apparently I’m not that dexterous because I kept falling. LoL So I can up with another method.

I built rooms about three stories up from the water, stacked as evenly as possible, then go inside and build ladders straight up. Adjust room sizes as needed from inside to stay square and aligned. On the top level, aim habitat tool at the roof and place a new room, again shift it to try to align as best as possible with the room you’re in. Now comes the tricky bit…

In the room you’re in, extend one wall 6 lengths, then create a moonpool there. Go down TWO levels and place a corridor on the same side that had the moonpool. Go back up, then drop down through the moonpool onto the corridor you made. Step out then extend the corridor, add a curve if you need to get around to the side. You should be able to look up and complete the new top room. Remove the corridors you made, drop down, climb back up the ladders. Remove the moonpool, shrink that wall back 6 places, place a ladder above your existing one, go upstairs, and repeat.

This is more or less how I built towers in the first two games, being able in those to put a hatch on top of a corridor and climb out was a huge advantage over what I had to do here. LoL

[cold path]

What is that circular thing on the floor? I’ve seen that in a few screenshots but I don’t think I have scanned that yet.

[flat perch]

Its the tailing rug, you find it in the tailing village. (It's kinda hard to find. Its under like the big circular bulbs you find in the village)

[cold path]

I’ll need to visit there again apparently. Thanks!

[hybrid sundial]

Survival base I built in Sub 2 took me like 8 hours in total to get materials and build

[reef barn]

I really like the compactness and I've been meaning to find a way to use the corridors more, this is great inspiration

[verbal ore]

I really don't wanna seem like a smartass, if you show it in daytime it would show the hard work you did better no? 😂

[hybrid sundial]

It prob would I just took the screenshot then bc I was abt to get off

[verbal ore]

Ahh, well amazing job nonetheless

[quartz nacelle]

Survival bigish base done!!!

[tawny birch]

Exterior, still a WIP
I’m going to camouflage or decorate the tower somehow W adding windows, ornaments, ventilation, etc.
Plus, I’ll figure out how to get rid of most of the vertical supports on the tower sections.
The interior has been updated a bit since these screenshots.
And here’s the exterior part of the base entrance. It’s pretty cozy underneath, the supports don't get in the way, and I placed everything as ergonomically as possible for easy movement ❤️

[celest geode]

holy map spoilers mate

[waxen locust]

You should probably add a spoiler to that

[flat perch]

Nooooo why didn't you put a spolier on it😭

[quartz nacelle]

I finished the game and don't remember what that is

[ashen ether]

The Council.

[quartz nacelle]

The Council of slugs

[flat perch]

Make the reaper their king

[tawny birch]

I can't do this on an already sent message.The map as a whole won't show you anything supernatural or tell you about the plot.

You're more likely to run into a giant tree and a Leviathan in the water. Than you can swim properly on the map without a minimap)))

[scarlet pawn]

Are they invited?

[narrow granite]

Seek fresh water intake.

[balmy acorn]

I have the craziest mega base in Subnautica 2 playing single player survival 130+ Hours

[flat perch]

That was the most cinimatic intro to a base

[digital holly]

Tiny Habitat shenanigans! ☺️

[warm marten]

That is what COMPACT actually means @reef barn gawdamnit

[digital holly]

Someone put me up for a tiny base challenge… So yeah i think/hope i nailed it! 😬😝

[jovial river]

Does anyone know how to drop flash slug in base? I saw it on youtube and I want to flash my friends

[flat perch]

Don't you jsut drop it normally?

[jovial river]

its says you cannot drop that item here

[flat perch]

The area may be too small. Try dropping them somewhere else and moving them with your body.

[jovial river]

i don't think that's too small

[flat perch]

hmm idk. it may be a bug

[flat perch]

oh wait nvm you cant drop live fish into a base

you need to cook them to drop them in base

[jovial river]

thaht how it's should look

[flat perch]

It might be a mod, or he used a glitch. Its not possible in game normally

[jovial river]

do you maybe know how do people do this?

[chilly pivot]

If you drop sea slugs they do spawn like that as far as I’m aware

[flat perch]

Ye I think only for water slugs it workds

[chilly pivot]

Only problem is that it lags your game way too much.
So it’s a perfect use of free will and the best way to bully your friends on steam deck

[earnest siren]

Where did you get those wall lights ?

[kindred sparrow]

tadpole pens 🙂 in the room with the alien decor 🙂

yeees i am not in that base any more i starved to death

also i have base on the tree

[viscid belfry]

creative mode gaming

[shadow crane]

? in creative i cannt fly bro

[queen spruce]

Ik you have mods but it's still very hard

[shadow crane]

i just beat the early accses game so i am having fun

[flat perch]

those are tailing rugs you can find in tailing villages

[shadow crane]

guys wich planet should i built base now

[queen spruce]

Btw is there any chance to get more passive bio mod places

[viscid belfry]

how are you building in spacce

[shadow crane]

my tadpole is in space wow

[queen spruce]

Try building a base on the subnautica 3 planet

[shadow crane]

ok let do it

i was going to the sun but your idea is cool

where am i bro i am scared

[smoky briar]

P sure that’s a discussion for #subnautica-2-chat . But if ur asking if there are more slots available, there won’t be until future updates.

[queen spruce]

K, thanks

[queen spruce]

Who needs a rocket if you have the habitat builder

[twilit dagger]

trying to build up to zezura

[shadow crane]

zezura is far away

[warm crown]

i tried

[shadow crane]

guys i have to restart game because the thing i have done

also i have pet elusive leviathan but it not letting me take picture

[viscid belfry]

bro mega modding

[shadow crane]

he is runing noo cooky dont go

[queen spruce]

@shadow crane You need to revisit your base on 4546b, in subnautica 2 ofc

[shadow crane]

yes i know

guys what should i do next

i am gonna build massive aqqaruim for cooky and hope he will not be angry again last time he swallowed my space base

[rotund hornet]

bro be modding and using creative mode not valid builds lol

[gloomy whale]

hi

i was playing with my friend and he chose the worst spot to build a base so i am building a new one

[rapid hazel]

where did he build?

[void plinth]

My world's buildplan. Orange highways and blue bases. Any thoughts?

I think I'll make a roundabout right there on the north highway where the roads meet lol

[normal zodiac]

cool idea 🙂

[silk cipher]

might need thousand titanium

[silk cipher]

plan is good tho

[quartz arrow]

more than thousand probably

am making base near alien ruin/ near the colonist lab(purple area) but dont know how should i start the design because space is too little

[void plinth]

Also, my newly built clam observation deck along with the clam research pen which keeps any critters out using electric wire.

"Using brainwave scans I've found that, for all it's inactive and sedimentary nature, the clam is highly intelligent, kind of like the whales of Earth. I theorise that I could even communicate with it under the right circumstances... rudimentary communication, of course, but still. Further testing required."

[void plinth]

If you want I could share my design with you

[quartz arrow]

please do share

[void plinth]

here

@quartz arrow

[quartz arrow]

Thanx you @void plinth u made it below the terrain Nice

[void plinth]

it took some time to line everything up

[quartz arrow]

ill update mine soon am planning to make it near lab

[vocal field]

Has anyone built a base down in the axum metal farm area with all the yellow pods?
I know it is just below 450 meters but you don't have to build that high again for a moonpool.

[twilit talon]

I like the asymmetry

[twilit talon]

There is a nice thermal spot at the end of the acid pools. Easy to build there.

[wet thorn]

build vertical in layers alongside a cliff

i'll show u mine

ignore the top part tho that s just for when they add new buildings to the game and stuff

[void plinth]

How do y'all feel about giving lore to your world? I personally like to string up my own little stories for builds. It adds that pinch of personality a build needs, and giving bases a reason for existing can oftentimes help round out how it should look like

[quartz arrow]

hmm never done it before can u explain like example

[wet thorn]

what should I do for the last room? it's meant as a placeholder for when new content comes out https://medal.tv/nl/games/subnautica-2/clips/mM5Qxl28RqD3j0WTT?invite=cr-MSwzcW8sMjIwNTM4NDY1&v=60 https://medal.tv/nl/games/subnautica-2/clips/mM5RdlFw3WdR-_2ud?invite=cr-MSxwVFYsMjIwNTM4NDY1&v=60

[quartz arrow]

is it original world or creative?

[wet thorn]

this is original

[void plinth]

For example, if you want a base in the Lead zone, make it look like a quarry or a mining operation not just a bunch of rooms connected by hallways. For a quarry, I'd say a large sectioned off area, close to the ground with a bunch of individual rooms leading to a central storage tower where the ores get stocked away.

Think about it from the perspective of your in game character, like I did with that report on my Clam Pen build earlier and try to design accordingly. Furniture, overall shape and structure, it all comes naturally once you have the theme in mind.

[wet thorn]

execpt that I lost 1 bacterium cause it bugged in the ground and lowkey cheated in the last one to get 5 miners

[quartz arrow]

yep my 5th one is also bugged i think it never showed

[wet thorn]

it bugs through the ground, I used wand which is like a cheating third party program for most single player games

lets u build without having recourses and stuff but I only used it for the last miner since I like the idea of my base being the result of my work

[void plinth]

A kitchen area, or a lab of sorts. The aquarium in the middle could serve as a observation unit for you to "study" the local fauna for useful adaptaions and biomods

The kitchen could work like a fisherman's shop where you "keep your food stock alive so it doesn't spoil"

[quartz arrow]

am almost in end part of game still idk how to use that elevator and how do u make aquarium in water😅

[wet thorn]

yh I thought of stuff like this but there really isn't anything in the game that mimics a kitchen or stuff like that, the aquarium also doesn't work for fish I tried and now I have pneuma and hoverthorns all around my base

[void plinth]

Or am I focusing on another room?

[wet thorn]

also I mean the big open area in the second clip fyi

[wet thorn]

the elevator has to be placed outside of ur base hence the hatch leading up to it, and the placing is very weird took me a solid 15 min to get it to work

[quartz arrow]

Kicthen can work just circle the crab like the clamp and make small aquarium is kind of square shape like restraunt will look like luxury hotel

[void plinth]

I'd say a biolab/axum study lab (aka pots, lamps and stuff like that) or just wait for more content

Also try lining the ceiling and floor of the aquarium with growbeds, I think it somewhat stops the fish from clipping

[wet thorn]

yh the lamps are kinda bad rn, no lamps for tables and the only big table is rather ugly imo the kitchen table looks great but is quite small, there really aren't a lot of option in this game and I'd have no clue how to make a kitchen

[void plinth]

stack the kitchen table, one left one right and one 90 degree turned on top

you can also use dropped stuff like wiring kits, flares etc to decorate. I haven't gotten around to doing it myself but it's a thing

[quartz arrow]

i didnt give much thought for decor yet because i still need to do end game stuff cant give spoilers

how did u guys scan the collector leviathan

[wet thorn]

yh I saw, I'll give it a go, hopefully they'll just add the stuff soon so we don't have to do this type stuff

this does look better, totally forgot about the disable snapping feature, thanks mate

[quartz arrow]

This is my whole base inside out

I did remove some structure because it was dmging tadepole when moving

[scarlet pawn]

Is that a no...

It's empty cause I genuenly don't know what to build there

I won't have a main base, I'll equip each one with the basics and just use the nearest one

[merry walrus]

thats what me and my friends are doing

[wary field]

me and my friends had 2 people in tadpoles sacrifice themselves for the glory of the empire

[wispy vault]

Just made a basketball court and heres my base

[quartz arrow]

same but i did it solo

[normal field]

Tiny base v2

[sturdy pawn]

Can't wait to see how much more stuff I can put inside before my game starts crashing on startup

[opaque inlet]

Do you guys have any tips for bases layouts, places or plans?

I was looking the beautiful bases and huge plans and I wish I could do it, I just dont have the skill

[supple violet]

my little quarium until the aquarium is released

[shadow crane]

guys look her name is sofia

[supple violet]

actually not, i build and rebuild all the time, try things out and decide over and over again whats good and whats better. if you start with the ultimate plan and finish yo base in a hour or so, where is the building fun ?

[opaque inlet]

Fair

[summer sapphire]

POWAH

[ionic timber]

Is is normal to live under the map?

[rich anchor]

uhhh i dont think so

[ionic timber]

oh

[supple tiger]

How r we doing this i have to know

[hollow flame]

With the scanner.

[arctic cargo]

its really easy bro

[vernal tapir]

Would it work with the bioscanner tho🤔

[hollow flame]

Sure. Why not ?

[neon sleet]

Am I the only one who thinks the subnautica 2 base building is cool but at the same time at the moment its a bit blocky and getting good lightning is so tricky

[narrow granite]

Definitely a system that needs some fine-tuning, but when it gets it, it'll be way better than the old system.

[neon sleet]

yeah I did hear about it being temporary but it just feels so weird because im just playing through all of the games at the same time right now since I like all of them a lot and its so weird going from my original subnautica base to the subnautica 2 base building

[narrow granite]

That's what Early Access is for.

[neon sleet]

yeah I know

[narrow granite]

I'm sure you do, I'm just saying.

[vernal tapir]

Idk, I just don't have it yet tbh

[narrow granite]

You don't have the bioscanner, or you don't have a scan of the Collector?

[vernal tapir]

Both tbh

[narrow granite]

Fair. I'd wait on trying to get a scan until you get the Bioscanner.

If you don't, you'll have to do it twice.

[vernal tapir]

Yeaaaah I don't really wanna do that

[desert vortex]

Bro will get banned

[static ferry]

not normal but tbh its cool

[static ferry]

why would he get banned?
he PAID for the game

[desert vortex]

bECauSe iTs ILlegAl
(Jk)

[silver geode]

So turns out the reaper didnt want to swim to where i could get a good screenshot 😥😥 killed him for u tho

[silver geode]

he usually sits on the plateau thing but he was swimming out towards the border between grassy and dunes when he respawns i should get a good one

[primal cedar]

Base is still WIP but I found these cool holes and decided to use them as moon pool entrance (haul chassis didn't fit so I needed a separate one)

[blissful oxide]

rate the observatory that totally wasn't made using the collector bug

[twilit talon]

I started this base right over the same hole haha. Easy escape route through a moon pool!

[hollow flame]

Why would he get banned : dunno.

But when did paying become an argument to absolutely anything ?

[twilit talon]

He won’t get banned. That’s silliness.

[nocturne rivet]

normal: no bannable: also no

[supple violet]

[vague lodge]

Hey guys I keep seeing things about foundations but I don’t have it am I missing something? For subnautica 2

[supple violet]

not released as far as i know

[vague lodge]

Ah ok Iv seen videos with it in from creators so was curious Thankyou though

[polar swift]

my new base:p

[ionic timber]

banned for what=

[digital holly]

Making my own plant corner until we have planters and growbeds inside!

[supple violet]

i hope they bring eggs and aquariums back soon

[nocturne rivet]

those are underwater plants, and there are no islands (yet?) in sub 2

[digital holly]

yes i know, these are just dropped items you can collect

[narrow granite]

Tbf, there is a PDA entry about growing the underwater "plants" indoors, with specialised hydroponic baths.

[polar swift]

I found my sn1 base from a year ago i thought id repost it. I refuse to belive i didnt use any cheats for it😭

[narrow granite]

What did you need those four large rooms in a room for, lmao?

[lofty lantern]

inside observatory (vanilla, not modded, pixel perfect bug abuse)

[polar swift]

I put 2 aquariums in each of them to get fauna and flora from all of the biomes

[narrow granite]

Maybe spoiler this.

[lofty lantern]

idk its channel about bases

[narrow granite]

There are probably still a lot of people who haven't seen that part of the game yet.

[narrow granite]

Fair enough.

[lofty lantern]

i ran out of glass building my best base

[bronze cloud]

What do you think guys, what should I add to my base?

[narrow granite]

Looks pretty complete to me. Might have to wait for them to add more stuff you can put inside a base. Maybe just an area to store all the Axum/Tailing stuff you can find?

[warm sierra]

looks cool, but I always wonder what y'all people put inside your base at this point in the game. I have a base of a size close to the leftmost "compartment" you have on that base and my interior is really empty.

[bronze cloud]

I can show you, if you want

[jagged grove]

This is sick

[lofty lantern]

new planet

[bronze cloud]

I left some space for new staff from the future updates, but it looks not empty

[warm sierra]

please

[bronze cloud]

In dm or I can post it here?

[warm sierra]

dm would be fine

[severe kindle]

My home base with an interior view of the top deck....best view if the sunset in proteus😋

Here is my base near the observatory, here its a simple one room setting

[candid oak]

First base

@hidden obsidian here you go

[hidden obsidian]

so cool dude keep it up frfr have fun

[candid oak]

Thank you

[bronze cloud]

I dmed u

[latent pulsar]

I think you should add some potted plants

[candid oak]

I need to find the blueprints for a lot of stuff still I'm on the aurora now lol

[copper veldt]

Starter base i made in a recent subnautica playthrough. Wanted to finish it and build a void base but i had a lot of school work to do and lost motivation, managed to build it and finish the game all in the span of 9 hours tho!

[latent pulsar]

I recommend you go to the floating island

[candid oak]

Is that the other fog cloud?

[latent pulsar]

Yes. Lots of useful base pieces there

[candid oak]

Sick will do after aurora then

[latent pulsar]

This is my main base near the lifepod

[copper veldt]

i get claustrophobia just from looking at this

[latent pulsar]

And this is my outpost near ||the blood kelp trench||

[latent pulsar]

How😭😭😭
Your base is only multipurpose rooms

[copper veldt]

yeah but overall more surface area than one large room

[warm sierra]

I was somehow way more skilled in SN1 building than I am in SN2 building

[reef barn]

I really hope they can add vertical corridors like in the first game as well as larger vertical room sizes similar to the horizontal expansions we can do now, and I really hope for placing portholes on ceilings and floors and making them expandable, as well as ceiling windows

[supple violet]

Yo i just realised, not all fish stay in there, some bug through the corners. geordies stay perfect in while the moon fishes escape

[wary field]

a way to make like smooth 45 angles or bends could be cool

[scarlet pawn]

The base, I'm hopefully get this section finished by the time I go to bed tonight, got work sadly.

[velvet siren]

Does anyone know if its possible to build a base facing both leviathans?

[unique lintel]

dude its amazing i love it

[scarlet pawn]

Tyty

[inner jungle]

My sub 2 room in save with me and my friends, so far I got the best room of us 4

[ashen ether]

Its a yes

[pliant crown]

my new def very very small research base is coming along fine

[gusty ingot]

rank my megabase chat

[pliant crown]

research base

[gusty ingot]

5 hr making it btw

[pliant crown]

change of plans, my sub 7 hours Survival Base is now the primary research base

[hollow heart]

It aint much, but its home 😛

[pliant crown]

my base will feature 2 Moonpools, 2 scanner rooms, at least 6 large rooms, 3 of which just for a massive Alien Containment

[hollow heart]

The room layouts are really cool. I really struggle to make my room interiors not feel empty

[brittle sphinx]

activate windows

[brittle laurel]

That's a nice way to keep the turbines out of sight lines of your glass rooms, though.

[hollow heart]

Was sort of a happy accident it ended up that way but I'm happy with the result.

[nova sinew]

thats a lot of floors

[versed heath]

my secondary base officially under construction

[twilit talon]

It looks awesome! Nice job!

[plain sequoia]

What yall think? Was trying to go for a Recon/Main Operation base
Spoilered cause I built in an end-game area.

[twilit talon]

Love the lighting!

[latent pulsar]

Are you inside the tadpole in you base?

[plain sequoia]

Thank You!! I got this awesome picture at night using my tadpole as bait... survival makes it harder to take photos lol

[twilit talon]

Getting the survival lighting right is a real struggle haha

[plain sequoia]

I took more lmao, this time I turned off my signals

[brittle laurel]

I really need a toggle HUD button

[plain sequoia]

Leviathan Base Damage Update when?

[deft crypt]

Probably when they add more permanent creature deterrents

[rapid hazel]

I'm going to stop playing for rn until they fix building because its giving me such a headache

I should be able to place something or deconstruct something but it says I cant even tho there is nothing stoping

Its a shame because I wanna build but I'm being limited ;-;

[austere cargo]

@safe cave

[topaz locust]

i really hope they dont add a leviathan base damage update because my base is in leviathon valley

[silk cipher]

Collector always roams around my base if they add base damage update ggs to my base

[topaz locust]

same

[celest geode]

it would appear so

[hearty thunder]

gonna pretend this game doesn't terrify me.

[twilit talon]

That looks so good! Wanna come and decorate by base?!

[hearty thunder]

Thank you lol

[twilit talon]

I have my exterior perfect but the interior is daunting haha

[hearty thunder]

I don't have alot of interior blueprints yet either for decor

[twilit talon]

Well if you want help tracking them down, I’m happy to help. Dm me if you want, no pressure. Here’s my exterior:

Took me longer to get the lighting right in survival to get a halfway decent picture than it did to build the dumb thing, haha

[brittle laurel]

Debating more growbeds for color. Also wish for a little smaller jar.

[twilit talon]

Always more grown beds!!

[hearty thunder]

That looks amazing. Better than my exterior. Ngl im on the quest for the ||tadpole pens|| but im too chicken to go.

[twilit talon]

I can take you! I’m a professional not-getting-eaten-swimmer haha

[hearty thunder]

Its a single player world, idk if i can switch it

[twilit talon]

You can, but you don’t have to of course.

If you hug the left side of the heat zone, it’s safer than the right side. The middle is worst.

[bright bison]

How did you make that tower? Is it just re-shaped rooms

[twilit talon]

Exactly! Just reshaped rooms. Added to the room using the selector to get the smallest pieces for the bump outs.

[hearty thunder]

What is your time zone?

[twilit talon]

EST in the USA

[hearty thunder]

Same, question, if I switch it to a mp world can I switch it back?

I like pausing if I need to walk away

[twilit talon]

Ooo… good question.

[hearty thunder]

If not, maybe i could stream it and you can help me be brave

[twilit talon]

It says that you can when I looked online.

[hearty thunder]

Okay, give me a couple min and then I'd be down, if you're still up for it

[twilit talon]

https://youtu.be/YQhTighwbEU?si=SJvvncpANJbCVLix

This shows you how. Sorry for the thumbnail folks. :/

[celest geode]

dude that tower is siiiick

[weak orbit]

that's incredible!!!

[sick cloud]

i trapped 2 marrowbreaches. (i didnt feel like making another base)

[flat perch]

I really hope we get eggs for them when aquariums come out

[sick cloud]

yea

[worn basin]

Wait aquariums are coming out?

[flat perch]

I mean the first and second game had them so I don't see why subnauca 2 wont

[rapid hazel]

Its prob going to come out in 1.2

[worn basin]

Ya

[flat perch]

I really wish there are custom baby models

[rapid hazel]

Also how many of yall have been having bugs with building cuz i've been having them so much to the point imma rebuild completely. Idk if its the area im in that affects it but man ;-;

[worn basin]

Nah

[quasi shoal]

bug as in unable to deconstruct?

[rapid hazel]

Mhm

nothing is stopping me from doing it either which is making it more frustrating

[quasi shoal]

so it is a unable deconstruct bug? if so then yea its been happening to alot of players

[rapid hazel]

ye. For example at my docks I have some walls from a old room that I decided to remove, it won’t let me deconstruct them no matter what

it’s upsetting because I think I did well with my base and it’s looking well 😔

[quasi shoal]

see what I do is I manual save before I start a construction

[twilit talon]

Tyyy!!

[quasi shoal]

if that bugs occurs I just roll back

[twilit talon]

This is epic, haha! The ones in the hot zone are super obnoxious.

[rapid hazel]

Smart

I’m currently trying to find another spot for a base. Been looking at everyone’s bases to get some inspiration and a flow going

[twilit talon]

One of the best places, imo, is one of the big natural platforms by the ||alien observatory||

[rapid hazel]

That’s not a bad spot. I was going to build my second base around there. I was trying to have a base in the early stages of the game so I had one, and then I would start building over in end game

[fickle night]

Man i see all these cool bases and then I look at mine and think I suck😭 (both creative and servivel) Im not good at haveing an imagination when it comes to games I am when its in my head but in games I go blank it took me years to play mincraft because when ever I did i didn't know how or what to build and I used to copy other people and pretend I did it myself because I technically made it my self (with a tutorial) but I have moved from that i gotten better at building open mindedly soon il post my creations when I finish them im gona take inspiration from other people but in my own way subnautica 2 is amazing 💜

[scarlet pawn]

The base at stage 3 completion

[scarlet pawn]

pt2

[rapid hazel]

I can relate to that so much. I’ve gotten ok with building but the scale everyone builds is just nuts to me

[fickle night]

Ik right 🤣

[brittle laurel]

My objectives for second base based on a couple things on first base were:

Access to alternate power to avoid cluttering with solar panels the second base for aesthetic reasons, and also bioreactors are terrible.
Sufficient flat space for expansion and first growbeds since I would probably add extra levels and didn't want to rip out all the plants halfway through cycles
Some sort of convenient drop I could build moonpools over so I would stop bumping the tadpole getting it into the base without massive early expenditures of titanium.

[rapid hazel]

I was thinking of making something near the alien pillar and have a drop going to a lower level

[brittle laurel]

I ended up going for the ||north edge where the purple plants are, basically far enough to put the research station out of eyesight, but the observatory plain would work really well too; closer water and food too ||

[rapid hazel]

I kinda forgot how that spot looks so I’ll have take a look lol

I think I’m going to build somewhere here. It’s a pretty cool spot

[bright bison]

I made a ||collector leviathan observatory|| (ill get a picture in a second)

[wintry kindle]

Finally made the cyclops in sub 1

[quartz nacelle]

naming it caseoh is wild

[flat perch]

I mean its accurate

[severe dome]

ehhhh

ain't got the girth

[rapid hazel]

There wouldnt be a ocean to swim in if it was accurate

[quiet radish]

Just gotta say, creating from tutorials is one way how you learn how to build things yourself, and start to use different techniques to craft your own style

[flat perch]

If your a builder in minecraft, your automatically a good builder in any game

[severe dome]

i placed a block does that count?

[floral light]

Not necessarily

[severe dome]

yay

[quasi shoal]

my base : D

[severe kindle]

I know the feeling😆 .....here was mine in SN1..had to re install and grab pics for inspiration.

[severe kindle]

its not finished?.....😱

[celest geode]

"both" and theres like 5

[velvet siren]

i forgto the names the collector and the abyss one

[severe kindle]

Reinstalled SN1 for inspiration

---and my pride and joy

[jolly current]

Sick sub dude

[shadow crane]

is this enough energy?

[scarlet pawn]

3 more than you, heh

[severe kindle]

more pics

[jolly current]

why your mech yellow?

[severe kindle]

Looks at your consumption...what you powering....Atlantis😋

[shadow crane]

i am powering zezura

[severe kindle]

I was going for bright colors

[scarlet pawn]

lowkey?

[celest geode]

not-Zezura*

[severe kindle]

This is from BZ

[bright bison]

What biome is this?

[bright bison]

WHAT does bro need all of that for ✌

[scarlet pawn]

To power the lights

[severe kindle]

Love your interior deco

[scarlet pawn]

Thank you, I feel like it isn't the best, but I bet they'll add more stuff for me to work with later on

[smoky summit]

Just added a bedroom for myself onto my base I need decor ideas lol because as you can see it’s not my strong suit

[severe kindle]

My thoughts exactly and there is alot of flat areas around the observatory as well

[severe kindle]

Put a rug in the center with a hanging jar, maybe add a nook for the bed. and loose the NoA😋 , here is mine in my main base and my secondary out by the observatory

[severe kindle]

Another thing I think is that since there is a Co-OP option now, people are making bases with having friends over in mind

[native glade]

Can anyone explain to me why when I look into my windows from outside my base, my whole inside looks dark with barely any light

[celest geode]

did you build lights?

[native glade]

Bro yes 💔

[celest geode]

tinted glass

[native glade]

What the hell

[scarlet pawn]

what?..

[native glade]

How many hours do you have in that world

[scarlet pawn]

A few

[native glade]

I have 29 hours, what is urs

[scarlet pawn]

I think 42? in this world

[native glade]

Base rn
