That’s pretty flippin sweet
solar smelt

warped oxide
wow. nice
warped oxide
with plants you've made the whole thing attractive. it's nicely done.
solar smelt
thank you
warped oxide
it looks like someone actually lives there.
solar smelt
😁
warped oxide
are they blood vines? I didn't know you could plant them.
orchid wolf
Plant blood oil
warped oxide
interesting.
golden bramble
Someone needs to build a base in the sea treader cave
I wanna see it
some one do it
rough glade
I was thinking of doing that sometime ago.
rough glade
Think I'll make one soon.
warped oxide
@solar smelt do you have an inside shot of one of your mp rooms?
solar smelt
@warped oxide ehh not rightnow but give me 5 min and i can show you some 😄
warped oxide
yeah, i'm guessing you've used windows, sparingly, to take full advantage of the outside
solar smelt
I tried to use more but it kept flooding my base so had to get rid of most of them..couldn't figure out why..had all the thick doors in and stuff
warped oxide
it's a shame you can't put objects IN the wall shelves to make them more attractive/functional. And I always have George on my bed so i can cuddle him <grin>
warped oxide
?
orchid wolf
the aurora fits
uhh
the hats fit
george might?
other spawned items I.E batteries, tools, etc do
warped oxide
wow, i'll try again. thanx
orchid wolf
but batteries are finnicky and float
hopefully in BZ we can have placable smaller objects like tools and sht
decorations are fun
weak tartan
I've tried for a while to make an awesome base, but it looks stupid every time

turbid temple

earnest oriole
earnest oriole
Old design though, note the middle and right half of screen
Hell, that was my first ever base in Subnautica
warped oxide
is this a good base?
No, it's not. It's just creative mode, and doesn't give a sense of acheivement to players who made the effort to get the one single keep calm poster of the game.
rose turret
Woah, calm down there, friend. He was just joking around. The Keep Calm poster is kind of like a meme and it's funny and cute, so he placed a lot everywhere
warped oxide
yes, sorry, you are right about that.
frank gull
bases made in any mode are allowed you know
warped oxide
of course, but creative mode does not impress me nearly as much as a carefully thought out, hard won base in survival. Where even rubber (bulkheads) is going to take some effort.
orchid wolf
Realize
I've made all of my bases in effective creative mode
It's freedom so I have to comply with base strength components
warped oxide
Everyone in any mode they choose, is going to get immense enjoyement by being creative. In my case its just personal taste that I only sit up and take notice when it's obvious the materials were hard won.
I very much doubt an opinion like that is going to affect the outcome of this 'competition'. A good looking base is a good looking base.
primal wolf
warped oxide
very nicely done. The best use of video i've seen in some time. The structures aren't infested with objects either, it's all rather spartan, giving an impression of more-to-do (whic is good). I like the effort you made adding difficult plants into the alien contaiments, and the dual seat glass table too is an understated nice touch. It fits very very well in that area.
And the spartan use of a microscope in one room and an george toy in an observatory tells you all you need to know about the purpose. Congrats
(oh yes, the unusual use of the vehicle upgrade console did not go un-noticed either)
primal wolf
glad you like it 😊
I used terraform tricks everywhere tho, to hide a good half of the ugly legs
warped oxide
A good looking base is a good looking base.
Given the amount of crap you could have placed in there, i'm impressed that you resisted the tempation to make it a brothel.
hollow nexus
I have to agree. It looks incredible! I love the vibes it gives.
raven thunder
in the pic of my scanner room the picture of the base from the scanner drone looks like my base is on an island...but its not. You might of seen the photos in the chat before but I thought I would retake the photos...I forgot to turn the Hud off. This is my awesome base that took over 24hours to make...it was in survival...it was a pain. btw could you please tell me how to post the pics as a zip file thing, thx.
whoops getting the pics up now...
raven thunder
srry about the spam
sonic flower
That's quite a lot
warped oxide
survival mode is difficult becuase it's needs first, aesthsetics last, but the upgrade station looks out of place, obviously put there as a need, a ming plant (or bulbao) in a pot would look far more attractive in the restaurant area. and more in keeping with the room's purpose.
bright bluff
First of all, dear developers thank you for a wonderful game that made my daughter forget xxxxcraft. I am serious. She is building, exploring and poking leviathans... on creative ofc. After a few months she actually started playing on survival and she is close to finish the game now. Big big thank you.
These being said, the following pictures are from my actual hardcore game. The only thing I added/changed are looooots of windows and rearranging a room to put a bed etc. You can see the differences in the first 2 pictures.
You have more screenshots and the actual saved game at the following link: http://s.go.ro/zk160lmp
done 😃

If anyone has bases in Lava Zone areas, that would be super appreciated!
reef briar
making some now
orchid wolf
mmmm
I stay away from it tbh
But I can make one if it's in demand
Would it be preffered if story spoilers were left out?
reef briar
it is f11 to take screenshots right?
shrewd marlin
I have a tiny scanning outpost inside the lava castle in the same save I posted earlier ¯_(ツ)_/¯
But I'm sure other people's creations will be much better than that 😛
all my scanning outposts do looks like animals with big heads though, so there's that
orchid wolf
Here's my neat little lavazone bio research facility~ https://files.fm/f/926fjzud

good heavens, that's origiinal.
hollow hollow
Don't have a pic of New Cape Quest, my main base in the SW edge of the safe shallows, but I did snap a pic of my scanner outpost Trenchtown.
I'm considering relocating it actually into the blood kelp trench, if I can find the right spot (ideally some ledge or grotto part way down
granite radish
Do you not have the dps
hollow hollow
?
raven kettle
vvvvv
granite radish
Seamoth defense perimeter system
hollow hollow
no i don;t have the defense system yet.. it is on my list though. currently i am using a hull reinforcement in its place, and trying to avoid reapers'
TheGamingDinosaur, i assume you built that on creative?
eternal hemlock
Are screenshots of modded builds welcome here? I have a modded game, and I've been working on a deep sea research center in creative for a few days now. I'm pretty proud of it
It still needs some finishing touches, and it will receive those before I'm actually ready to post pics
I have a couple builds on the same file, but this one's closest to done
warped oxide
anything that shows a mod as being worth the effort is useful.
so far the mods I have seen don't take the game in a direction i want to go. Which is not the same as criticising mods in general.
eternal hemlock
The only mods I have that probably don't belong in the SN universe are the Alien Rifle and the dual laser defense module for the Seamoth~~, but I wanted to see what oceanic pew-pew guns were like~~
But yeah, pics later
Hold me to it guise
warped oxide
anything that turns the game into just another 'me too' first person shooter bores me senseless.
hollow hollow
Grabbed screenshots of my main base, New Cape Quest
It's on the edge of the safe shallows, near the SW edge of the grassy plateaus. Near the geyser
Which I have tapped for power
Grow beds. The blood kelp and deepshrooms are new still trying to get bed #6 to work
Cyclops berths alongside in a cove area
narrow vortex
@primal wolf love the base bro great work. I challenge you to make a new base without using the terraformer, I have done this myself and it is almost complete 😄
granite radish
Nice name for ur sub
spiral ginkgo
My deadzone base is in survival @hollow hollow ,i have 10 checkpoints that are 300m apart and have 5 lockers going down the side of the map, it takes ages to bring a lot of material down..
And I mean that each of the checkpoints has 5 lockers in it
warped oxide
yes, but that's where i sit up and take interest, because titanium is scarce around and below the cove tree because the ore doesn' respawn (metal salvaldge does)
so, to build anything of substance down there in survival is a major acheivement.
but it's also a lot of enjoyment, planning out your routes with mp rooms and strategically placed food and water supplies.
wraith aspen
@leaden cedar wow MDR, it’s warm there 😂

thin tapir
here is an outdated pic of my Jell Sack plantation. We are now 15 planter boxes strong.
shrewd marlin
what do you need so many gel sacks for O_o
thin tapir
Its unhealthy, I am powering 2 bases on jell sacks alone, they are pratically coal. They do actually look like solar pannels though, I never noticed that.
shrewd marlin
I never found gel sacks to be terribly efficient for biofuel, but I guess they're at least convenient to harvest!
just had a big ol' tank full of ill-fated fishies, myself
thin tapir
they give off most power per space taken up.
shrewd marlin
oh really? the wiki has it as most fish being much better
thin tapir
It's just in my experience. I have a backup tub of peepers...
I'll get some good pictures in a bit, show off my bases, it'll be fun.
warped oxide
they are intermediary power supplies for mid-game, and not worth the manual effort of keeping them supplied, particularly in the 25th century when there's only one of you. equally useless are nuke power for the same reason. Both of them are fun to use. Once. But certainly, it's a nice, simple, base design.
thin tapir
i don't have nukes yet, sadly, im working on it
amber fractal
short sweet and to the point i made this because i love subnautica
forest schooner
What is that coloring I need it
forest schooner
I mean it's just a color mod
If anything he can just disable the mod, make the base again in a new save, and renable the mod after he's done
hollow hollow
i should probably start up a creative mode save just to play around with bases and such.
orchid wolf
All of your base are belong to us
amber fractal
ok
amber fractal
i'm not going to be able to upload my base 😭

oof
Can you upload it to some external site like files.fm or something
And then link it here

I loooove when it's just the right time of day and you get that yellowy-green lighting :D
warped oxide
yes, it shows off above to best affect. it's very attractive to me, even tho it lacks (a lot of) external vegetation.
floral stratus
Anyone know if we are allowed to make our base prettier by adding plants next to it or are we suppose to only use "real" ingame tools?
pseudo rain
hm
sonic flower
Wat?
signal juniper
well, you can use growbeds for most plants
floral stratus
@signal juniper Yea, but you can easily spawn plants on walls and such and it looks super pretty
floral stratus
I wish there was a copy paste button 😃
late minnow
Thats a lot of foliage

Um, you can create things with some basic mats out of thin air. That's not so bad is it?

there is also a nuclear reactor that I accidentally glitched below the ground

🤔
echo dagger
hallow fiber
It seems a reefback is attempting to reproduce with your base
orchid wolf
only you kuma
unkempt summit
I did one of those terraforming console commands, built the reactor in the terraformed area, left and came back to the ground back where it was originally with the reactor being sealed entirely below around
still sentinel
Yeah the terraformer was scrapped, so it's probaly gonna be glitchy
primal lagoon
Does anyone know if the base has to be built in survival or not?
frank gull
it doesn't
primal lagoon
So it CAN be in creative? Awesome.
frank gull
yes
sonic flower
my small and comfy base looks like nothing compare to others here ._.
late minnow
Small isn't bad
sonic flower
i did so in world one and made a small base at the grand reef
late minnow
I have some rooms I've no clue what to do with
forest schooner
I dislike massive bases. When they're unrealistically big, they look out of place.
late minnow
Yeah in this save I have a mini base in the sparse reef
sonic flower
than on world 2 i made a bigger base in the sea treaders cave
late minnow
agreed
sonic flower
agreed
i made the second one as big as i can just for that section on the cave cause it looked nice
late minnow
I have two base locations I can't not build. NE MF and my LR entrance base
late minnow
northeast mushroom forest
sonic flower
o ok
warped oxide
the bases that appeal to me most are:
+vegetation outside as eye candy
+use of glass
+uncluttered interiors
+a single object in any room that defines it's purpose
++ a single microscope
++ a single glass table with chars and window
there can be other objects, but having a modification station next to a water filter is clutter and confusing.
clutter doesn't mean you cant have large quantities of (say) storage cabinets. That's the purpose of the room.
sonic flower
i just thrown stuff in most areas the i need them in
modification station? to seamoth moonpool
warped oxide
yep, mid course of game.
sonic flower
yet i had a lot of room so the only mess i had was at the power room
uneven swan
home sweet home
sonic flower
that had some plants for food yet i removed them to a garden room
and my room that had like 9 carry begs
forest schooner
They carry bags are kinda useless.
sonic flower
one of the my bases in world 1
warped oxide
as decorations they define the room as a storage area
forest schooner
That's true.
I used a mod to increase their storage space inside
But base game, they take up as much storage as they give.
sonic flower
this is the only base i made as nice as i can
warped oxide
it's attractive yes.
sonic flower
well i need room for my vehicle bay
there was a light in this base yet the file removing thing got rid of it
warped oxide
yep, it has a feel of busyness and being lived in
sonic flower
lets see what i also got
base beta (main base world 1)
nothing too big
just a comfy home 2m next to a ghost spawn point
(we dont talk about base alpha and delta)
warped oxide
your lack of glass makes it a little ho-hum. Personal Opinion only.
sonic flower
it was my main base
my room (top room of the big ugly multipurpose room thing) had some
didnt have much view sooooooo
it was a work base
now the base in world 2 was mostly hallways
jst use as much sapce as i can
only my room had windows and that was to watch my sea treaders -w-
warped oxide
I do like your use of X tube(s)
warped oxide
for me, the scanner room would instantly have glass at front to make me say, hmmm, what's in there?
sonic flower
the glass in the scanner room was foggy in my opinion
warped oxide
yes. too much so, sadly
sonic flower
mostly the windows glass tubes and the glass ball im too lazy to spell are the only good glass stuff in my opinion
the celling glass, scanner room glass are meh
the moonpool is ok yet doesn't really fit with me
yet tiny litte glass stuff add a lot
i can maybe open my game that will take 5 min to take a small screenshot to show what i mean in my base
warped oxide
I also love using single pot ming plants dead centre of an mp room who's only purpose (really) is a transit point from here -> there
but i like all your bases so far anyway.
sonic flower
UUUUUUHHHHH
i moved my file cause it was in a place i didnt like now i think it copied all my steam files
warped oxide
uuuuuuurgh
sonic flower
im spooked
14 min to lunch?????
oh its... update???
help
its going up
i just want to take a pic of a small aesthetic thing in my base ;-;
help
IT REDOWNLOADED THE WHOLE GAME
but i dont have my files
lets hope it will work
k it did
well that was pointless
now i have 2 steam files
do i just copy some stuff from the original to the copy and delete the original? is this the right text for it?
late minnow
I've never understood how to use vertical connectors
sonic flower
so i took some screenshots to show some of my rooms in main base world 2
once i finish coping the stuff from steam imma send
other than the games and the saves in them is there anything alse i need to copy before i delete the original file?
i wasnt joking about the bags
aesthetic window
warped oxide
nicely done
sonic flower
so should i delete the original steam file???
i moved all the games to the new file and idk if there is anything else i need to copy
warped oxide
steam has set registry keys pointing to the old place. deep doodo if you don't re-install
sonic flower
it reinstalled itself i think
i moved the file because it was in another file i used for games
and for some reason it downloaded it there
warped oxide
if you manually moved anything, steam won't know about it.
sonic flower
so i moved it and now it redownloaded both files
late minnow
did you move it manually?
late minnow
Steam has a file moving system
sonic flower
where and how???
warped oxide
late minnow
right-click Subnautica
warped oxide
the moment you manually move files around, you've made a mess
warped oxide
keep the original, delete the mess, and delete any steam reference to it
sonic flower
so the original is in a diffrent place
warped oxide
then it aint original by definition
warped oxide
if you used steam to copy, that is not manual copy
sonic flower
nope
warped oxide
so which way was it?
sonic flower
i moved it in the computer files
warped oxide
have fun then.
sonic flower
again, idk how to move files from steam itself
late minnow
Do you know how to verify the cache?
frozen apex
My last base
sonic flower
I like the lighting
pseudo rain
the other one is a bit messy
pseudo rain
mine is just bare necessities
ive crammed storage, food and water production and all the crafting stuff into 1 room
the other room is for power generation
ive got a moonpool and a scanner room
and thats it
thin tapir
I have 3 large scale bases, and I'm planning a 3rd, I think Im just putting off the final grind for the rocket at this point.

My base! It has 4 appartements, a canteen, a Cyclop-dock, Storage, nuclear-reactor room and some other cool stuff
(sorry for the fog)
forest schooner
@devout pawn Use the command "Fog" to toggle the fog on/off.
shrewd marlin
Honestly I think the fog adds something to the shot!
Especially with how the light shines through it
forest schooner
True, but I wish it was blue fog.
tender agate
my base near the void ... the neighbor is a bit noisy ...
I forgot the coordinates ... it's close to the void, has Aurora's port in the map corner on the left ... or use the pointer tag if you can)
and a bug of electricity ...

forest schooner
@frosty coral This channel is for a base contest mate, stay on topic.
worthy sandal
I built this base on creative is it good? It has lore too
shrewd marlin
Very nice! I'm guessing it's not possible to build that close to the skull in survival? I never tried it
Also just FYI, but by default you can take screenshots in-game with the F11 key.
Then you can access them as per the steps in this article: http://subnautica.wikia.com/wiki/Picture_Frame
Super neat that you've got parts going into the skull though!
worthy sandal
The picture frame thing wasn’t my interior
I originally had parts in the skull like lone observatory modules but I had to exit as my game crashed I saved the base but no the observatory what you see here is creating the illusion it’s going inside when it’s an unfinished piece I needed to correct.
Btw Lore for base: After crashing on planet 4546 B Riley Robinson’s journey took him to the precursors quarantine enforcement platform while searching for the primary containment facility to cure the kharaa so he could leave the world he stumbled upon the lost river deep below 300 meteres past the blood kelp zone. Upon discovering a gigantic leviathan fossil he dedicated his spare time that he was in the lost river into researching this fossil until his research lead him to discover worse things...

A base all the way around and a drill in the middle, with a special entrance into the cache
it = The meteor
hallow fiber
Cool
worthy sandal
I’m working on a 5 Storie base round the cove tree
echo tapir
store reeeee
west comet
Problem is, the bigger the base the higher the drawcalls the lower the framerate. Eventually it becomes a slideshow. I do wonder if geometry will ever be properly handled in this game.
shrewd marlin
Yeah my base really makes my pc chug... 😅
Might be all the plants I made with all their juicy succulent polygons
granite radish
Are u infected
late minnow
no. Cured that
granite radish
Then how are they gonna warp you out if you are no longer infected
Go infect yourself again with console commands
forest schooner
What are you on about? They don't even warp inside of bases.
late minnow
thats what my I don't think so was
forest schooner
Reffering to Mega. They can't warp you when your inside a base, nor can they warp inside themselves.
rocky nexus
they can warp you out, but you gotta be in the observitory....well, they can get ya from the degasi ones anyway
so long as yer not pressing yer face into the glass, should be fine
they can even get ya from the cyclops i think, if you get between the control and the glass, that part isn't quite 'inside' the cyclops, it is, but if the cyclops dies, you can go there and be inside when it asplodes
well, last i heard, not sure if it got fixed
late minnow
afaik they cannot get you int he cyclops

carmine summit
i hope to be here one day. but uh. hardcore mode makes things slower. as i dont really want to die.
rocky nexus
i played hardcore once, i doubt i'll do it again, as a bug or two almost cost me everything, these days i do survival
meager holly
@carmine summit yeah, normaly i ceate big bases but now i'm in hardcore and i want it more to finish the game than build a very big and decorated base...
i know what it feels XD
you're not alone
rocky nexus
yeah, i've usually just done minimalist bases, only twice have i done otherwise, once to do a nice base in the underwater islands with a corridor going to the mountain island(in survival) and another in creative, where i did a base around the degasi shroom forest
it's pretty obvious that my underwater base is more 'what i need', the one in creative has more multipurpose for more stuff, just cause i could get away with it, i might start making bigger bases in general, try and spend more time at them than using the cyclops as a mobile base
meager holly
no words... 😮
carmine summit
like. in my game right now. i have probably one of the most efficent bases that can be done. i have a moonpool. a storage room. a growing room for plants. 2 water extractors. and 2 thermal generators.
i also have a scanner room which i move around to get resources
willow pond
I do the same: moon pool, multipurpose, scanner, wall-to-wall lockers.
carmine summit
also the reason im scared about losing the cyclops
i have about 50 lockers full of mats in it
they are mostly raw mats/food/water
verbal rock
Even if the Cyclops gets annihilated, the lockers and their contents can still be scavenged from the remains.
carmine summit
ah k
late minnow
thats why I have the shield gen and decoys
carmine summit
yea
ive moved every part of my old base into my cyclops. and i intend to move it to under the floating island. it may look more photogenic
rocky nexus
under it? sure, i did one on top, then built a vert tube to the surface to meet with the rocket base
rocky nexus
oh, THAT island
late minnow
that one island where stuff and things are
carmine summit
kind of thinking of a concept
where there is just an absolute buttload of reinforcements. tons and tons. but they are all off screen. Then there is a pipe going down. and its just a maze of glass corridors
as well as various multipurpose rooms with windows
topaz mist
I have a tower base in the shallows, mostly for an aquarium which holds only sandsharks, as my friends requested of me..
also i've realized that an aquarium with a hatch on every floor is basically an elevator
rocky nexus
yes, yes it is
hallow fiber
Sandsharks are a decent power source
ebon rose
shrewd marlin
Oh that's fantastic 😃
I take it the external growbeds don't really work above water?
rocky nexus
they do for stuff that needs air, not so much underwater stuff 😄

Someone created a save file you can add to your slots and play, rread the reddit post they describe it better than i can. its basically a labyrinth/puzzle. im about to play it myself.

I've made a fair few nice establishments. This one was my attempt at taking things from the world with the propulsion cannon to make an outside eating area.
This one, and the next three or so are the same place. The outside...
Inside ground floor...
Inside first floor...
And inside second floor. I wanted to make it look like a vacation home sort of.
And this last one definitely took the longest, and required a lot of manipulating the base building mechanics in ways that aren't possible anymore...
eager remnant
@verbal rock that's pretty incredible mate, I'm impressed. Many kudos to you. You should upload the save file to google drive and post the link so people can download it and check it out maybe?! a thought:)
verbal rock
It's very outdated unfortunately, this was back in early access about a year ago...so I doubt it'd work anymore.
eager remnant
it might still work, you can still get previous versions of the game. there's a way to download any or all of them. google it:) if people download the build you made this on it should work.
i have a march 2015 early dev build still on my pc i mess around on it quite abit. cool to see the entity gallery
One of the best bases I've seen so far folk. It was posted by u/NelvisAlfredo on r/subnautica about 9 months ago.
There is a whole gallery and description on the original post, here is the link if anyone is interested. I want to build a mega base like this but RIP frame rate.

spiral ginkgo
Wow that seems laggy
rocky nexus
holy crap, where was it built?
eager remnant
might have been mushroom forest could bewrong, have to check out the reddit. the guy who made it described it and posted a gallery in the comments. I think it's incredible, he deserves some kudos so i figured i would show it off for him in here and post the link:)
i'd love to get a copy of his save file to physically check it out myself
it apparently has 88 multipurpose rooms. that's crazy. probably takes a minute almost to build one section at that nearly dead framerate i bet it's at lol. I hope devs can fix that soon, if you make it an option to build bases you need to consider that people are going to take it too far and build massive structures
eager remnant
the original link to the photo gallery doesn't work, here's the new one he posted: https://imgur.com/gallery/0upUZ it shows around the base and his reddit post and comment on the post describe how he made it and what it consists of . pretty incredible if you ask me. He deserves serious recognition for this,i hope thedevs see it and give him kudos, it's brilliant really. I see things like that in my mind but actually executing it is easier said than done. This guy went all out andhe does describe issues he had while doing this such as the framerate and things like that so it might be good for the devs to check out his reddit post and maybe contact him, it could seriously help them fix some bugs and issues with the game.
late minnow
building large bases isn't the goal of the game. I believe the devs thought people would stop once performance deteriorates. If people want to build at the expense of frames, so be it.
orchid wolf
some people just like lorge base
willow pond
You know what they say about guys with big bases....
shrewd marlin
big power consumption
keen mason
that is accurate
orchid wolf
compensation
willow pond
...big moon pools.
rocky nexus
wish we had a moonpool for the cyclops, or just a dock for it....hope they manage to get around to it once BZ is more done
forest schooner
Well I mean seeing as they won't have a cyclops in Below Zero I fail to see how they would add it
pseudo rain
Kontaro there’s the QEP pool
rocky nexus
yes merlin, but can't really build a base into that...
and anom, i meant once BZ is more finished, they might be able to put some time to going back to subnautica and fixing some stuff, maybe add in the stuff they didn't get around to before release...
pseudo rain
Well the cyclops kinda is the base no?
rocky nexus
true...
raw ocean
shoot
I once built A base that went from the bottom of the blood kelp trench to above the surface and it had 120 floors
each floor had at least 4 rooms
I spent 20 in game hours making it
but my old computer broke
so sadness...
sonic flower
So any updates on the compatition?
pseudo rain
@raw ocean that sounds like it may have competed with the current largest base ever
shrewd marlin
I'd be tempted to build a gargantuan base but I can't afford to buy the four 2080tis I'd need to run the game
signal juniper
sorry if this is too many images but the base is just very big
sonic flower
Yeah
west comet
@signal juniper good stuff
signal juniper
thanks!
sonic flower
So any updates so far?
orchid wolf
Trailer comes soon I believe
sonic flower
Yee
eager remnant
i love seeing other peoples bases, i just built a massive cage for leviathans. it's been done before I'm sure but i wanted to do it anyway
pseudo rain
peepers can just return to their small form and escape through the cracks in the base
then they go back to leviathan size
eager remnant
i'm assuming it's a widespread issue that fish glitch out of the aquariums in the base and fish also glitch through the walls into the base and aquariums. i had a stalker glitch into an aquarium today and half my fish glitched out of the holding tanks
i should have posted that in #🐞bug-smash i guess
thin tapir
I had a magic flying spade fish for long enough that I named him larry
eager remnant
haha that's funny, sometimes fish take off into the air for no reason. my games sea dragons glitch in and out of walls and teleport like warpers lol no joke
thin tapir
I was trying to scan a dragon, but it just clipped through a wall and got away
eager remnant
i dont think you cna scan them
i couldbe wrong but i don't think it's possible the scan option didn't show up for me at all with them
orchid wolf
You
Definitely can
thin tapir
scan the head
eager remnant
iit must have been a glitch i tried scanning everything from the shoulders up
granite radish
Freeze it and scan it
eager remnant
i'll try that again. maybe there's just a sweet spot i have to find for the scanner to pick it up
stasis rifle should work on it eh that's what you meant by freeze it?
thin tapir
that or hacks
eager remnant
lol someone posted in the steam community hub for SN a way to kill warpers and it works it's hilarious. You use floaters as ammo in the propulsion cannon and blast the warpers with it. they cant get the floaters off and they bite them until thye die. it's probably a glitch but it's so funny and gets rid of those pains in the butt
i don't want to use hacks on my survival mode game, i want to get all the achievements. i read they disable if you use cheats on survival mode
i want to do a legit playthrough anyway
granite radish
Or
You can go into creative spawn a bunch of warpers while you are next to some gasopods
Set the damage multiplier to 1000
And watch stuff happen
signal juniper
I always like planting a bunch of tiger plants in growbeds
then the warper will pretty much die instantly as soon as it warps
if you're in survival you do need the reinforced dive suit
pseudo rain
@eager remnant its really easy to kill a warper
just get a knife and hit them while dodging their attacks
3 hits and they are done
pseudo rain
base progress as of now
warm summit
nice
pseudo rain
almost resembles a small city on the surface. coming along well
found a nice spot JUST deep enough for my cyclops to fit. this is also safe shallows
rocky nexus
so, how do you enter it?
thin tapir
magic
pseudo rain
u can reach hatches from the bottom while in water
from the tubes sticking out of the side of my base
bottom hatches

orchid wolf
You've been here long enough where you should know this merlin
pseudo rain
Yeah I’ve been here 3 since years ago
Technically. I was here for a few months in 2016
Then like 2 weeks ago I rejoined
granite radish
Do sea dragons respawn?
granite radish
But didn't they just say that reapers spawn
orchid wolf
Yeah the levathans respawn should you leave and go back to the area
granite radish
Damn it
I wanted to send the sea dragon leviathan species to extinction
And pee on their dead limp bodies
Assert dominance over them

Reminder this room is for awesome bases 😉

Sorry
errant sigil
My base isn't amazing. The most common, so I did not throw it here🤷
shrewd marlin
In my game, I killed every single hostile leviathan in the game, and they didn't respawn
Whoops, chat didn't scroll
calm anchor
@pseudo oracle (srry for piing) but have you made any awesome bases yet?
reef briar
🤔
pseudo oracle
@calm anchor how is that relevant
calm anchor
it was out of curiosity
pseudo oracle
I have made many in my 4+ years of development time

Hey @calm anchor weren’t you the guy that made a LEGO Seamoth with like five supporters

I know, but in the Cyclops

Yes decorations mod pretty sure
mild grove
thats a awsome cyclops

my cyclops suddenly feels deeply underdecorated

i have so much on mine that my framerate died

woahhhhh just watched the subnautica console launch trailer AND MY BASE IS THERE whaaaaaaaat?!
https://youtu.be/GkEwheG7eI0?t=35
frosty heron
Just got that mod. Decided to upgrade my cyclops a little
So far so nice, I think.
I don't want to clutter it too much. I still have to get around.
Anything thoughts?
(I figured these would belong here because I basically live out of my Cyclops, so it's practically a base.)
thorn nebula
frosty heron
Not sure how.
granite radish
It looks like a mini bar in your Cyclops
static crown
Its really nice looking.
warm summit
pseudo rain
Got enough storage?
warm summit
nope
pseudo rain
@warm summit do u have easycraft?
warm summit
yup
pseudo rain
I had a cyclops base in my suvival playthrough
The only reason i had a permanent base was to charge it
The rest can all be done in it
warm summit
mine auto rechage all the time
pseudo rain
I got the thermal charging module really late into the game
And storage is absolutely not an issue
I packed the lower level full of wall lockeds and it was more than enough
warm summit
i have solar charging module mod, so i'm always fully charged
limpid raft
Looks good
late minnow
Everyone has their playstyle
tropic solstice
Yeah
carmine summit
i dont see a point to above water bases ;-;
besides the fact you dont need to spend any titanium and lithium to build structual supports
late minnow
its an interesting concept
carmine summit
i see the purpose for surface bases that go down to the ocean floor, for good solar power. especially if you are extending your main base
thermal is just so nice tho XD
now you made me want to play subnautica again.
And since i already beat the game 1nce, im going to be just making an awesome base. will post the zip in a week or so.
frosty heron
and that is not at all the order I wanted haha
Also have my Tree Cove base in there as well. Basically my supply depot for deeper missions.
But man, base building in survival is tedious as hell.
pseudo rain
Yeah
granite radish
Why do you have a clock
pseudo rain
To check the time
leaden cedar
no mods
forest schooner
It's a mod
frosty heron
Why not?
frosty heron
Ah
pseudo rain
@late minnow decorations mod

Trailer is out now though, so I dunno if that just means this channel is defunct and due to be binned, or if it's fine to post modded pics now.

yup that's fine!
quaint phoenix
Trying to make treespires base
wel just here to ask, can i use glass hallways?
or should i rather use windows?
jovial ether
below zero? nah. thats the good ol original
i want below zero but not early access
im dying
i have subnautica withdrawal because ive done it allllll
frank gull
that doesn't change the fact that the base has to be below zero
quaint phoenix
Yeah
frank gull
jovial ether
oh i see what u mean. i was just posting my awesome base on this board, no regular ol subnautica bases allowed on this board?
frank gull
yes
