"Humble"
fiery bone
@pseudo rain Haha, I thought it was pretty extravagant myself, what with the glass bridge and all, and then I came here and saw the screenshots of truly staggering bases, and I now consider my base to be pretty humble in comparison.
unique yacht
I like it....its got alot of rooms
sharp halo
Well, while i wait for below zero to be fully released i’m entertaining myself with making bases for fun
gentle canopy
@fiery bone Your base look awesome
marble sparrow
For real and it doesn't look like a total maze
agile schooner
it looks great!
cursive quartz
East of the Rocket Island in Purple vents, not far away from Thermal spires... Chelicerate could be observed from the observatory...
ornate escarp
Omg, you’re actually using the Seatruck Docking Module
Also great base, it could use a large room.
But I’m not to judge
cursive quartz
ok, wait...
oh, there is update now, so maybe later
That's my most recent base - it's still not done yet (control room missing + large room interiors not done)
View from an observatory...
Low graphics, not all legs spawned
lights off due to a bug
ornate escarp
Slicey Boi-o liked your photos
cursive quartz
thank you 🙂
Another angle - At night without lights (recent experimental bug) - looks cool like everyone is sleeping...
The MP room at the end of a long corridor is intended for a nuclear reactor, because it makes soooo much noise... One of the large rooms is intended as sleeping quarters, another as a bar and relax and third for bioreactor and containment (which may be two floor up to the bar and relax, depending on if gardening is gonnna be implemented into that).
And at last, chelicerate photo-bombing... 😄

@unique yacht @gentle canopy @marble sparrow @agile schooner Thanks all! Glad you like it!

I currently have a cyclops loaded with building supplies. Anyone have any good suggestions for deep base locations?
eternal prairie
Lost River Crossroads (cause I can't think of what it's actually called rn) or Ghost Tree are by far the best locations for a deep sea base
Unless you mean deep but not cavernous, then I would recommend the meeting of Sea Treaders' Path, Sparse Reef, and Grand Reef
fiery bone
Nice, thank you, I am definitely considering a cavernous locale, given my need for a base of operations near the end game content.
I haven't fully entered the Lost River this playthrough, so I think that will be a good location.
Do you know which biome entrance is closest to this 'crossroads' location you mention?
Ahh I think I know the one you mean, actually. The one with the bludgeoned Leviathan remains?
eternal prairie
Yes. Not sure, I think it's the blood kelp trench entrance
fiery bone
Excellent. I will definitely scout it out.
In my first playthrough I made my deep base in the lava region just beyond the 'waterfall' entrance.
I think a Lost River base will do nicely this time round
eternal prairie
Looks awesome!
fiery bone
Thanks! I look forward to setting up the Lost River base!

I may be a bit stupid, but what is “hypodronics”

probably hydroponics but spelled wrong
fickle violet
And it’s the use of liquid nutrient suspension to grow plants in place of soils

I would grow plants for fuel in the first game, easier than finding uranium constantly

Creepvines are probably pretty valid, gel sacks are a maybe

ripe juniper
the lookout tower is my favourite part
I like building the majority of my base on land, then it doesn't affect hull integrity
rapid solar
good idea
ripe juniper
Here’s an even better idea, build it close to the weapon, that way you can use the portal network for fast access all over the map
rapid solar
big brain boy
ripe juniper
plus, there are some thermal vents around the island so you have an easy power supply
mint dawn
I’m gonna do that in creative definitely! Been wondering what to do after cheat-skipping to finish in survival, and gentle exploration sounds really relaxing
fiery bone
@ripe juniper That base is amazing!!!
When I first started I knew nothing about the game, and so I naturally tried to build above the water. This was what my very first base turned out to be. It's very messy, but it occupies a special place in my heart.
You can see it at a distance in this one
crisp rampart
I like the look of it in the morning. I feel like it needs a few parts that are taller than the others for some shape, but other than that it looks really good!
fiery bone
It was my very first base, I don't even think I was aware that you could stack multipurpose rooms haha
crisp rampart
Lol
fiery bone
I later learned about stacking for my research/observation base.
Pretty bland, but I was slightly terrified of windows at the time, aha.
unique yacht
Windows look awesome in every base
marble sparrow
How would you reinforce a deep base so you could have plenty of windows?
jolly breach
gentle canopy
@fiery bone do you build it in survival ? Because I can't imagine the hundreds of titans needed
fiery bone
@gentle canopy Yup, I haven't played creative yet. My first playthrough was in survival, my second currently is in hardcore.
I find that the scanner room helps immensely with titanium. There is an abundance of scrap in the safe shallows.
Honestly I think quartz is one of the hardest materials to find haha
@marble sparrow Bulkheads are the easiest and cheapest way of reinforcing I think, requiring only silicon rubber and three titanium
marble sparrow
Thanks
fiery bone
The better one is the Reinforcement plate however
It gives a lot more crush protection, but you need lithium.

Where you built your base?
sinful galleon
The deep one was built in the active lava lakes area
final violet
Ah ok!
sinful galleon
Both the Treaders were built in the Treader path biome
It's very dark there
Hence why I have the spotlights swinging about
eternal prairie
Sea Treaders' Path is one of my favorite biomes bc it's so dark but there's lights enough to find your way around without using your own lights
sinful galleon
Tread Lightly has a Prawn suit dedicated to picking up what the Treaders leave behind
The Seamoth I just use for whatever
I need to show my Lost River base, it's nothing special
I like building around geysers, it gives me a challenge on how I want to weave the limbs of the buildings together
eternal prairie
I finished the story line, but my Cyclops and Prawn are still at the bottom of the world. I have a pretty big base but it's not anywhere near done. Haven't played since last March or so
sinful galleon
Go back through the portal
Or just sacrifice another cyclops to get one back
Then use the PRAWN to bring the other back
I want to convert Blue into what I imagine a mobile base to be like
eternal prairie
I have the portal and I have enough gold and silver to make ion power cells and enough power in the prawn to last for a while. Just got burnt out on the game and never returned, been playing Minecraft pretty much ever since
I'm in the process of building a very Subnautica-inspired base, which I intend to show here when it's done
fiery bone
@agile schooner I love that base! The way the interior is basked in that magma glow is very atmospheric! Great work!
sinful galleon
Quick little outpost. Meant to charge my vehicles and nothing more.
Creative mode due to crush depth
I need to make a main base
Like main base
Not just some outposts
Opinions on where I should do it?
eternal jetty
you should do it in the lost river
sinful galleon
That's my Lost River outpost
sinful galleon
Haven't tried there
Lemme scout a location
Hmm
This seems decent, little cave base
I might split this up into several builds
One in water, one on the island
This is a perfect docking bay for my cyclops
Got the base of the foundation layed out and lit up
Think I know what I want to do
sinful galleon
I don't like how this is coming out
Given the space constraints I can't do anything about that without terraforming
Might place more big bases to make sure I can do stuff
velvet wraith
sinful galleon
Nice
If I had open space I'd do that
Basic layout, eugh
Might scrap it and try something else

@agile schooner Cheers! 😄 Haha, that sounds cool. So many great locations!
trim marlin
I was like, I want big aquarium 😭
Guess I gotta wait till below zero comes out on Xbox

the big aquarium is from making the alien containment module in the large room
you can build two per room

@fiery bone what do you say about doing something in Nitrox after the fix?
fiery bone
I haven't checked in on Nitrox in a while! Last time I did base building wasn't working yet.
agile schooner
a fix is being worked on
will be ready in about a month
the last SN update broke it
agile schooner
@sharp halo you want to play coop with us? when the fix comes?
sharp halo
Sure
agile schooner
a bit of a warning though, I might be away for a lot of time, and leave the server running, is that ok with you?
@fiery bone are you in as well?
fiery bone
yeah man for sure
agile schooner
it's ok, we'll figure out something
fiery bone
how are we going to play? Survival or creative?
agile schooner
I think it's locked on survival
fiery bone
ahh okay, I remember being able to use console codes to make it creative though
Cafeteria.
Quarters.
This location has great views from every window.
final blade
How do you guys find that many resources? Lol
fiery bone
@final blade I mostly rely on nodes with my mining prawn.
sharp halo
Above ground, scanner room is amazing
fiery bone
I brought a cyclops full of resources in preparation, but I still ran out. Fortunately there were quite a few quartz and titanium nodes in that cavern.
sharp halo
Below ground it’s basically just prawn drill arm
final blade
Oh, how many time did it took?
fiery bone
It can get a little grindy, but it's not actually that bad.
If you're using the scanner room you can just go directly from resource to resource, so it really cuts down on time.
final blade
Oh the scanner room finds the bigger ones too?
candid temple
Not that much but still ok
sharp halo
Looks decent
Pro tip: f11 takes a screenshot into the pda
And then you can keep the screenshot from the menu in the pda
candid temple
oh thanks @sharp halo
agile schooner
and then you can find the screenshots in the game save folder
and edit it, add some text if needed

so many cool bases, i need glass pipes in below zero >.<

How do you guys change the color of the base?

unique yacht
Cant wait for below zero to be fully released
I dont really wanna play bz rn in its early stage
alpine kiln
i didn't realise you could have a ladder in the middle of a room
are there any weird requirements to it?
muted haven
Just don't have any objects that take up the room (bioreactor, nuclear reactor, alien containment) on either floor that you want the ladder to span.
rustic junco
btw you can use nocost to get unlimited resources while still being in survival
agile schooner
and probably lose the achievements
mint dawn
I've heard it's fine as long as you turn console commands off, close and reopen the game after? idk, that's what I've been doing, but I stopped getting achievements so 🤷
unique yacht
I'm just missing 2 achievements for steam and I have all achievements...idk what achievements those are tho
fresh cliff
@unique yacht what ones do you have
unique yacht
Let me check
fresh cliff
ok
unique yacht
I took ss of it
fresh cliff
alright
fresh cliff
Mans Best Friend hatch and release a cuddlefish
unique yacht
Wow....the only one that I couldn't get
I couldn't find any cuddlefish eggs
I looked in every area but no egg
fresh cliff
and find the degasi habitat in the grand reef
unique yacht
I thought I found that one
I guess I didnt
I need to go back on my world but I cant because I already completed it and I didnt save before I entered the rocket
And its gonna be a longer time to restart
fresh cliff
did you check the dunes for a cuddlefish?
fresh cliff
because that where I found mine
unique yacht
I went to look in the mushroom areas
fresh cliff
oh
unique yacht
I found every other egg except cuddelfish
fresh cliff
do you know how to get console commands though
fresh cliff
then you can just use the spawn cutefish
unique yacht
I'll have to do it when I have time...school and work are in the way rn
sharp halo
Cuddlefish egg also spawns in reef degasi habitat
Also, using commands turns off achievements
So using spawn cutefish wouldn’t work
sharp halo
Pretty sure it turns off achievements for your current save so I don’t think that works
sharp halo
So if you reload a save before you activated console you still get achievements
fresh cliff
yea
sharp halo
But if you save afterwards you won’t get achievements on that save anymore
fresh cliff
your right
mint dawn
well that explains a lot
can you get achievments in creative or does it have to be survival?
rustic junco
i didnt loose mine @agile schooner
trim marlin
@mint dawn Pretty sure achievements are disabled in creative mode. It should warn you before starting in creative.
true zealot
Wait what if I have a drawing of a awesome base
eternal prairie
People have posted stuff from Minecraft in here so go for it
mint dawn
Sweet drawing! I really like the detail and composition
The creative mode’s lack of achievements is kind of annoying then. There was one time I realised I hadn’t fully explored that one area (vague to avoid spoilers) to get that great plant for water and food, but I was all the way down at the edge of the hot zone so I warped up there and back instead of taking like 20 min at least
eternal prairie
Dude that looks amazing!
primal tide
I would put that in #art-archive-9
sturdy agate
@true zealot i started a drawing almost exactly like that lol but its from a picture i looked up of a base hmm ok bye
mint dawn
“A” drawing of “an” awesome base. =/= “my”
fiery bone
I think, other than some aesthetic touches, I'm more or less done with the main structure of my Lost River base.
mint dawn
I wonder if the lost river is prob one of the most common main base sites
I chose the blue bit of it for mine
sharp halo
my bases in actual playthroughs are one in the shallows and one in the lava zone, in between the two, i use the cyclops
mint dawn
I just thought it'd be common cuz it's really pretty and naturally lit
I made one at the border between the shallows and the ... 'lake'? the big basin area towards the open end of the Aurora, as well as a cliff near the caverns towards the LR and the blue bit of the lost river
fiery bone
@mint dawn Possibly. It's my first Lost River base. Normally I have one in the shallows or red grass plateaus. This time round I went for the more dangerous regions, Bulb Zone, Mountains above the Lost River entrance, Lost River, etc.
mint dawn
That's a lot of bases! Tho tbf I did die a lot from overextending, then got fed up and used console commands...
wait, does freedom mode give achievements? cuz that'd be perfect
wait x2, does the epic version give achievements? I've spent hours reading the wiki, but I never thought to look this up really
fiery bone
no achievements on Epic 😦
@pseudo rain Big, yes, but I wasn't actually going for gratuitous, haha. I just wanted to make use of the wonderful terrain and the fossilised remains to give shape to the base. Otherwise, everything is purpose-based.
@sharp halo Mostly, yeah, but I want to add some windows here and there as well.
true zealot
I like how you labeled your feet
sinful galleon
I might make a base that spreads across the lava
Might get damaged tho
Idk
I'm very good at compact small bases
sharp halo
Naaaah, it’ll be fine with the sea dragons
alpine kiln
do you really need a nuclear reactor when your base is built around thermals?
i'd have thought that'd be more than enough power
it's a great base though
would love to see the insides
fiery bone
@sharp halo Exactly
With glass corridors that can be remotely detonated to flood the compartment in the event of a nuclear meltdown, haha
@alpine kiln I could very likely power the whole thing off thermals, but I'm not really a fan of the clipping power beam, and the reactor is so powerful that it basically means you never have to wait for a recharge
I don't have too many shots of the interior yet, as it's still a work in progress, but here are a few.
View from inside one of the corridors.
Living quarters.
Cafeteria.

The problem with building at almost 900m with so many windows and glass compartments.
@unique yacht Thank you 😄
sharp halo
Noice
Just put like 3 bulkheads between the main base and the nuclear reactor just to be sure
unique yacht
I like windows
My base flooded towards the end of my gameplay and I fixed all the holes and it glitched up and it wouldnt drain so i had to deal with water...where I had bulkheads, it would drain the other room but when I open it, it wouldnt flood the other room
unique yacht
I died while being on my scanner looking st my camera that was 6000m away from my base
And 600m deep
Or was it 8
fiery bone
@sharp halo Yeah bulkheads are one of the things I'm not finished with yet. No kelp this far down, so I have to rely on my alien containment stack to grow seedpods for me, and it takes a while.
unique yacht
But it was so far
fiery bone
6000m? 😆
sharp halo
At one point, my cuddlefish broke my shallows base by running into it
unique yacht
Yep
fiery bone
The crater island is only about 4km wide
unique yacht
Idk how but it happened
fiery bone
and after 500m the camera goes dark
sharp halo
I’ve had stalkers bring my cameras into the crater edge
fiery bone
what were you doing so far out?!
sharp halo
Stalkers
fiery bone
blindly zooming about
fiery bone
hahahahaha
sharp halo
They sometimes carry the camera unreasonably far
fiery bone
damn stalkers
sharp halo
Like crater edge far
unique yacht
Idk how it managed to go that far but it was going on an adventure
I didnt even bother getting it back
fiery bone
I've never seen a stalker swim outside of the kelp forest/safe shallows/grassy plateau region before
unique yacht
They wouldnt leave my cameras alone anyways
fiery bone
yeah they can be annoying
unique yacht
What was the point if they keep getting a hold of them
fiery bone
I had a problem with one specific stalker, because I built my first base between two kelp zones, but after some red hot persuasion it cleared off and I've been fine ever since
fiery bone
yeah the lifepod can spawn in a couple of different locations
So far I've built my first bases pretty close to my lifepod, but this is only my second playthrough
unique yacht
I havent gotten to another playthrough
I'm just not feeling it
I want to go to creative tho to make a base look bigger and cooler without having to worry about resources
But I never get to it
Work gets in the way
fiery bone
Playthrough 1 first base. Lifepod is right nearby off to the left, but not visible in this picture.
Playthrough 2 first base. Lifepod is off to the right this time.
The orange ballasts are visible.
unique yacht
When I first built my base, it would always say that it wouldnt build in this spot so I'm looking for a good spot and the moon pool had to be built above water...it still is in the water but mainly its above water
fiery bone
Yeah I didn't know much about building when I first started which is why my first base began mostly above water. There is a weird water glitch if you place your moonpool above the water.
Moonpool at water level texture.
summer ridge
weeeird
agile schooner
looks like the sky
fiery bone
Moonpool under water texture.
unique yacht
I had the under water texture
fiery bone
Maybe it was a one-off for me, or maybe yours was placed slightly lower in the water than mine.
You can see the levels of my moonpools in the first playthrough base above,
I scrolled up but I couldn't see any pictures of your base @unique yacht
unique yacht
I didnt post any
I haven't taken screenshots
I might have but they are on my laptop
agile schooner
@fiery bone why scroll when you have the search function in discord: from: AngelChicken#5713 has: image
unique yacht
And my laptop isnt really letting me use discord
It wont open steam or discord
It's been reset multiple times
fiery bone
@agile schooner nice, I did search the name, but it gave me results from all channels, but I didn't realise you could specify images, that's cool, thanks for the info!
fiery bone
@unique yacht Awh, that sucks. You know you can screenshot in game really easily with the datapad, right?
Saves to your PDA
fiery bone
and if you use epic, you have to go to %appdata% > Local Low > Unknown Worlds
Before anyone persecutes me for using Epic, I only have it there because it was free and I knew nothing about the game. After playing it and discovering it to be one of my all time favourite games I felt so bad that I immediately bought Below Zero to support the devs haha
unique yacht
Yea but I have to send the files to my phone to send it in discord
I took a whole bunch or ss with the pda

Here are some shots of my other, minor bases in this playthrough. This is Plateau Outpost.
Couple of different time shots of my safe shallows base. I love the way the lighting in this game changes the mood and look.
agile schooner
very nice
fiery bone
And this is one of Bulb Outpost, another minor base. Thermal powered.
Great observatory view.
agile schooner
I did the base from the beginning in the grassy plateaus
near the degasi 250
because I had space and knew there were caves nearby
from the pod info
fiery bone
Nice!
agile schooner
I had no idea it was that rich in mid game resources
fiery bone
A base in the mushroom cave would be awesome. I've never done that before.
dim summit
Likewise; though it’d be a bit inconvenient.
agile schooner
I understand the crabsnakes can wallhack
fiery bone
but not attack you inside the base I think?
@dim summit that's amazing. Arius used to my alias years ago, and in all that time I've never seen another person with the alias until now.
dim summit
That’s neat.
unique yacht
@fiery bone those look amazing

I finally Have something to post here
It’s based off of the base in the cinematic trailer
Atleast I got this before I completely destroyed my game
rapid granite
It's a survival base so it took me a while to get the where it is now but
Here it is still wip and lacking windows and decoration along with parts of the base.
I think I am 30 hours into the game. I need to check
What do you think of it so far?
rapid granite
Scanner rooms do help collect resources faster
yes?
It's gonna be my 2nd survival world
rapid granite
well it is my second survival world
trim marlin
Why so big though? Do you actually utilize each section?
rapid granite
no not yet
sadly I only use 2 moon pools , 4 scanner rooms, and 5 multi purpose rooms
trim marlin
If they made a multiplayer game, that would be awesome for a base layout
I can't believe they haven't done a multiplayer yet. That would just rock our world
rapid granite
I spend most of my rescourses on the out side of the base so I have no need for big storage rooms yet lol.
trim marlin
True xD
I always stuck to compact base builds. Didn't want to have to run around a lot
rapid granite
I forgot where you find the cyclops depth modal do you know where it is?

My hardcore base has a moonpool and scanner room for like, the first 7 hours

It's nice to sleep to make it day so you can see better for driving.
trim marlin
Oh didn't know beds did that
sharp halo
@trim marlin subnautica nitrox is basically multiplayer and it’s about 1 month from being finished
Also, @rapid granite the cyclops depth module is in the aurora
trim marlin
@sharp halo Yeah, but I'm talking about for all platforms. I know they have no intention of making Subnautica/Below Zero multiplayer, but I'd love to see them make a multiplayer game with the same base concepts.

like a CO-OP underwater survival game

i really gotta build a base somewhere else and not just stay in my safe shallows base

I finished the bases exterior rooms and hallways. Time to decorate the outside and inside.
I found the cyclops depth modal at life pod 2 I think. It was a life pod for sure though.

ain't much but it's got alot of stuff in it

@crisp geyser nice base my dude, did you know moonpools don't have to be placed at surface level?
unique yacht
When I started I couldnt place it anywhere else EXCEPT above water because of hull integrity
Kept getting spammed with the message
crisp geyser
@fiery bone i know, it's just the most convenient place for a structure that large

y’all I wish I could show my below zero but it won’t open atm

I never noticed how big my base was I thought it was the average sized base till I went and looked at other bases in this discord.

@fresh cliff I'd like to recruit you for a Nexus game after it's fixed if you're interested
there's also Cwox and Hyperius on the team (and of course if they don't mind me adding you)

Egg? You saucy boy
lusty meadow
any opinions on the best place to make a base in BZ?
lusty meadow
I'm working on one by the ventgarden now, why deep twisty?
lusty meadow
that is nice, I just dont build down there due to the plants that eat you. it is also kind of an awkward place to get to every time you go home
slim wave
why so many large rooms?
sharp halo
Why not?
fresh cliff
@agile schooner I can’t really do that because I play on mac
fresh cliff
I can’t really download mods either
agile schooner
oh, I see
fresh cliff
Most of them are for Windows anyway
and I also build most of my stuff in creative just because I like to see what I can do
agile schooner
that was our idea as well
a mega base or if it's not possible because of performance issues, separate bases
fresh cliff
And what’s possibly unique about my bases is that they are all degasi based
silent moat
my base is the best because my base is 1 multi purpose room

very nice!

@limpid spruce Utilitarian! I like it!

I could absolutely see an architect ripping that off for an absurdly minimalist pod house or flat.
marble sparrow
If only we actually had fabricators
unique yacht
That looks better than a big base
trim marlin
Yeah. I mean, realistically, you really don't need anything but one compartment. You can get all the basic needs, as seen in the picture.
Just feels nice, coming back to base after some exploration, docking your seamoth or prawn suit in your moonpool, checkin out your enslaved fish, polluting the world with nuclear energy, leaving behind a mess of misc. Bases all over.
agile schooner
but still, battery charger and power cell charger with only two solar panels?
it will sit in the dark a lot
it is pretty though
fiery bone
I'm more or less finished on my Lost River base I think. Put most of the interior in, in terms of bulkheads and furniture, and I put the finishing touches on the outside, like reinforcement plates and windows.
Some different angles on the entire base.
And some shots from inside looking out.
feral folio
that is gorgeous
fiery bone
thank you 🙂
trim marlin
Very nice 😁
pseudo rain
lost the full base because I had to reinstall steam, but here's the bedroom
fiery bone
Storage OCD.
Alright, alright, final touches, I promise. Spotlights!
And some interior final touches as well, to make the place feel homely.
agile schooner
nice
mild prairie
Oook how do people add windows to the roofs of multifunctional rooms?
agile schooner
it's only in Below Zero
true zealot
Then where’s Subnautica above average
I heard there’s glass floors
Not any type of clickbait
->
blazing ferry
I never was good at interior work, no matter the game.
blazing ferry
Quite honestly, a glass floor for the multipurpose room, or for a section of the large room wouldn't be a bad idea.
marble sparrow
It would turn into a giant observatory that's useful then
mild prairie
Yea, in below zero. Do you need to scan something to get those window ceilings?
ornate escarp
Yes, you must scan the Large Room Glass Top (Maida’s base) and the Multipurpose Room Glass Top (Research Base Omega)
agile schooner
the only glass floor is from the alien containment
agile schooner
yeah, it's only if it's above another general room
and then there's the observatory ofc

the answer to every more than average cool looking base shot: Its from Below Zero...

I built a base that loops around several lily pad islands
If the save hasn’t decided to commit die then I’d have screenshots

Where was all this stuff in the base game? :(

I want Below Zero reeee

Then buy it

silly you don't buy it. you earn it

Or you can shoot someone and take their wallet

I take it that large fish tank isn't in stable yet?
zenith scarab
That large tank is the same as the small one just build in the big room.
Also holds the same number of fish as the small one while taking up more space.
agile schooner
that kinda doesn't make sense
dim elk
i stuffed 520 penguins in there and they barely glitched out what are you talking about
pseudo rain
Everybody here that makes Subnautica bases seems to have an unhealthy obsession with the lost river
agile schooner
it's because it's midway to the final objective
outer python
The alien containment in a large room most definitely holds more fish...
sharp halo
might make one in the bulb zone sometime eventually
last fable
the purple vetns is the best place for building
its close to island
next to lots of resources
and it is next to lots of the story line

^ I've set my base up in the purple vents, it's perfect ^-^

When thermal vents are out, can they hook up to the purple vents?
Cuz that would op if so

leave habitats in deep areas that are for power cell charging, and with storage with food.
and battery charging

Can we get spotlights in sub zero?

@twilit flare here you go: https://crazedjava.wordpress.com/2015/05/08/character-spotlight-sub-zero-grandmaster/

Lol
@twilit flare During the development of the Snowfox Update, spotlights were scannable at the Snowfox Base, but they were removed. Just decided to shed some cool trivia.
twilit flare
Ah, ty @agile schooner! That is some cool trivia.
balmy lark
Just found these photos on my phone, this is one of the first bases I ever built. What do you guys think of it?

The third image a but overkill??! 😅
3 fabricators and 8 med kit fabricators that's alot XD

cordis, your base is awesome
alpine kiln
way more supplies than i'd ever need, but if it works for you 😄
boreal plume
I usually make a cafeteria around the bio reactor room in my bases XD
alpine kiln
bio reactor is my storage room
you can fit seven lockers around it
and it looks awesome
and then four lockers on the diagonal walls around it
i can have everything i need in one room
outer chasm
and i can have a ton of seamoths in one area of my base
and a ton of prawn suits in another area of my base
idk why i would need that much in my (future) base
wanton cradle
Why would you want ton of prawn and seamoth?
outer chasm
the prawns can have different sets of arms
and the seamoth would have tons of different modules on each of them
boreal plume
I usually like making my bases look stacked
wanton cradle
Yeah that I understand but not the seamoth
boreal plume
And take little volume
outer chasm
gotta put a billion reinforcements if i want that tho
boreal plume
But my below zero base well have to expand a bit if I want to add a large room
boreal plume
I've been having a power problem is below zero
Just one bio reactor and a few solar panels
Not enough I lose power at night
outer chasm
lol i would have tons of solar panels
because my base will be using a ton of power
i will definitely need alot
outer chasm
i would put a few lockers in there and have 2 multipurpose rooms only for lockers and wall lockers
i dunno why i would need that much storage but
my inventory tends to get full alot
alpine kiln
i've got a locker full of every supply in the game
three of titanium
two/three of each egg and plant seed
outer python
Only 3?
outer chasm
even cuddlefish egg?
alpine kiln
seven cuddlefish eggs
outer chasm
OMG
alpine kiln
i found two in time capsules
outer chasm

alpine kiln
cuddlefish yay
boreal plume
Wow that bio reactor storage does indeed looks pretty neat
Meanwhile I'll be planning a few toilets in the large room XD
outer chasm
lol
alpine kiln
now that showers and toilets are a thing
i'm just sad they're not in normal subnautica
boreal plume
Just scanned the toilet, shower and sink from marguerit's base
alpine kiln
and the glass roof
outer chasm
subnautica is fun
boreal plume
Below zero is even more fun
outer chasm
i dont have below zero
