I'm currently planning a base in BZ and I'm wondering if it's better in the middle of the map or near the glacial basins and the bridge so I can also have a snowfox there

I'm currently in the earlier stages of the game so I can't go that deep

[delicate oar]

Your choice

But the snowfox is packable so you wont have to be near land

[ember shard]

Wait what?

[delicate oar]

Yes, you can grab the snowfox

[ember shard]

So I can just get it in s big room and then put it in my pocket when i need to?

[delicate oar]

yes

[ember shard]

That's good to know, thanks

I'll post a pic of my base when im done

[delicate oar]

Ur welcome

[delicate oar]

Can't wait to see it

[ember shard]

Do you want me to @ you when i post it?

[delicate oar]

Nah, I'll see it on the server

Thanks anyway

[ember shard]

Ok cool

Well I'll go planning

[delicate oar]

K

[kindred lark]

Wow these look amazing are you using a reshader?

[ember shard]

At last, my base is finished!

Storage room - still needs some lockers

My workshop - quite empty, any ideas what to add? (walls behind me are wall planters)

My farm, more plants coming soon

My bedroom

My full base

What do you guys think?

[small hollow]

That looks pretty cool!

I always love seeing the kinds of bases people make with the large rooms in bz!

[ember shard]

it was a big grind, i didnt have much resources, most importantly titanium

but atleast i had a lot in my previous base, but that one was ugly af

[small hollow]

Felt ya on that one, I'm dreading opening my game cuz I'm way deep in grand reef and need a singular titanium lol

[ember shard]

LOL

[small hollow]

I miscalculated

[ember shard]

worst thing was when i needed table coral for scanner room, got a lot of it, then realised i had it in my seatruck

now i have a locker full of it

[small hollow]

Oh nooo

I mean. At least you're prepared if ya need it again?

[ember shard]

yes, but idk if i wil ever use that much

[small hollow]

Where'd you even build your base?

It's so difficult to find good spots to build a big base in bz because most of the map is more closed in besides the lilypads

[ember shard]

its 300 meters southwest from the delta station dock, theres a lot of biomes quite close

ad about 400 meters away from lifepod

[small hollow]

Not bad not bad

[ember shard]

there was a big hole there with absolutely nothing, so now it looks better

[small hollow]

Ah i figured that's where you built

[keen oracle]

here's a little handy tip I discovered while making my BZ starter base, if you put reinforcements on the multipurpose room walls you can fit 4 wall lockers on each one instead of 3 which increases your overall storage capacity by 7 lockers (if you use all the walls except one for getting in and out that is)

[ember shard]

Thanks, but i still haven't even built all the lockets I need and I really don't think I'm gonna be running out of storage anytime soon.

[keen oracle]

this is my storage room, all the lockers are labelled so I can neatly sort stuff out

28 lockers in total

[small hollow]

That looks really pretty with the dome

I always love seeing bases in the lilypads, it's so pretty there

[keen oracle]

yeah and the music is so beautiful

the multipurpose room glass dome is my 2nd favourite new base module after the large room

makes for really nice bedrooms too

[small hollow]

Holy wowza that's gorgeous

Reminded me that i should add some windows on my base!

[livid drum]

Please add reinforcement walls this scares me

[pallid gyro]

theres probably reinforcement in other rooms

[fast quest]

yeah the storage room is full of them

[sour idol]

I feel like the storage room is a little crowded, but it would work great

[ebon pumice]

I might have to steal someone's base design tomorrow I suck at building bases

If you could rotate moonpools it at any angle it would be so much easier tbh

[proper rover]

Do you like my tree mushroom base

[graceful cloud]

tis nice

[proper rover]

Ty!

[keen oracle]

you can do that in BZ which is such a nice change, also they fixed the bug where the legs on base modules disappear if you go too far away, and when building something like a moonpool the legs actually come in the placement and get built with it rather than appearing afterwards

[proper rover]

Yeah the base building mechanics are a lot more fluid in bz

[glossy shore]

yeah I have a question, how do I give power up my base?

[pallid gyro]

use solar panels or some sort of reactor

either connect it directly to the base or use power transmitters

[glossy shore]

how do i get power transmitters?

@pallid gyro

[pallid gyro]

i think you can find the fragments in wrecks near the mountains

but play it safe and go for the crag fields

[glossy shore]

where's the crag fields?

you see, im new to the game

well i also found an island

[pallid gyro]

is it floating?

[glossy shore]

yes

[pallid gyro]

thats close to it

[glossy shore]

with some weird bubbles under

[pallid gyro]

same base direction

the crag fields are right past the little area there with red grass

you'll know when you have seen it from the chunks of rock sticking up

[glossy shore]

can you send me a picture of how it looks like?

[pallid gyro]

putting links here is ok right?

i got one for a map of the place

https://subnauticamap.io/

its a map you can use of the entire place, including biome layers

the crag field is the nearest biome from the back of the aurora

the mountains is full of reapers and up at the top of the map

if you need anything else, id suggest moving to #subnautica-chat

[glossy shore]

how does a fragment look like anyways?

@pallid gyro

[pallid gyro]

like a really broken version of the actual item

[glossy shore]

like a metal crate with a broken seaglide inside for example?

[pallid gyro]

yeah

[glossy shore]

and what type of fragment do i need for the power?

@pallid gyro

[pallid gyro]

you should already have solar panels in your build tool

[glossy shore]

yes i do

but if i wanna make my base a little deep

is there use for solar panels when there is no light?

if not, what else can i use for power?

[pallid gyro]

bioreactor

[glossy shore]

so i have to go to crag fields to find a bioreactor fragment?

@pallid gyro

[pallid gyro]

no

opposite direction

red grass

[glossy shore]

red grass biome to find bioreactor fragment?

[pallid gyro]

pretty much

[dusky folio]

ye

[ebon pumice]

Made this in creative and I'm going to make it in the lr in my survival world later.

Inspired by a few of the smaller bases I've seen ShadowScythes post

[proper rover]

Nice! Thats a solid base

But it could do with a couple of windows

Other than that,

[ebon pumice]

I'm going to put my power source under the scanner room and have the 2 side rooms be tanks with peepers and bladderfish so I'll never need to leave for food.

Then the middle compartments will be storage and living space

[proper rover]

What will your power source be?

[sour idol]

I would add solar panels

[pallid gyro]

i would just put in a nuclear reactor

[sour idol]

They add power and aesthetic

But other options are cool to

[proper rover]

I would do nuclear here aswell

[ebon pumice]

It's in the lr, no sun.

I'm going to do a nuclear reactor

And the ingredients for rods are easy to get in the lr

[proper rover]

Cove tree pog

[proper rover]

Lr is full of resources

[pallid gyro]

yup

[ebon pumice]

I'm going to be home in like an hour and I'll start making it

Getting all the recourses will be annoying

I started a list of everything I'll need

Not counting decorations and stuff

[pallid gyro]

im not even going to ask

[ebon pumice]

I also need to figure out where exactly I want to put it lol

[proper rover]

That is the biggest challenge…

[ebon pumice]

I started a base in the spare reef but never finished it so I'll take it apart for some materials

It's literally one multipurpose room but it has some stuff inside I can use

Like a fabricator and bioreactor

Even though I'm not putting a bioreactor in my new base I should be able to use the materials from it

[proper rover]

Yeah good idea

[ebon pumice]

Got a bunch of the materials now

Gonna go start building it

[ebon pumice]

Started building it in the lr

It doesn't yet have power or really anything inside it

I need a lot more titanium

I had just enough for all the rooms

[flint nova]

not really awesome but i proud of it cuz its my first survival base

i plan on adding a scanner room, observatory, and another moonpool for my soon-to-be prawnsuit

[small hollow]

hell yeah! make sure ya add more solar panels or another type of energy source if you add more to the base! dont forget reinforcements too!

[flint nova]

ye i should prob add reinforcements when i expand

[ebon pumice]

You probably won't need them for a bit

[shrewd flame]

u need an observatory

[small hollow]

you dont need one lol

theyre just cool to have

[ebon pumice]

I only see observatories as a waste of hull integrity

[small hollow]

i love havin one on my grand reef base, its the prettiest biome imo

plus it plays Observatory Zen every time you walk into it, i love that song

[proper rover]

Yeah, also putting spotlights on observotaries creates a nice effect

[small hollow]

Ooo I've never thought about doing that before, i might when i get back on my save!

Like on the top of it? Or just on it in general

[subtle python]

@flint nova I actually like that base, for a starter! i still play survival, and i made kind of what you made. its pretty awesome!

[proper rover]

On top of it

But they work well on top of glass compartments as well

[low harness]

/

[oak scroll]

this is the exact same base I have except I have seperate multipurpose rooms for my eggs and my bladderfish, and peepers to breed

Alien containment

[sour idol]

Hey I have a question for you guys

If I were to build a base in the grand reef should I build it by the sea treaders for materials or the area slightly deeper with a crab squid that’s prettier and faster to get to?

[fast quest]

If you don't mind being not too far away from 2 different Ghost Leviathans, there is a spot where the Sea Treaders walk over a bridge right over an entrance to the Deep Grand Reef where the crabsquids are

it's just below the southernmost point on the Floating Island

[small hollow]

I built mine in the deeper area that's prettier, it's farther from the ghost leviathan and closer to the river

[sour idol]

Hm ok

[sour idol]

I do not mind the leviathans, they actually look beautiful. The only negative thing would be them attacking my cyclops while on my way to my base

[sour idol]

I’ve been there I’m pretty sure, it does look pretty cool

[small hollow]

It is! Best place I've ever built my base

[dusky folio]

cove tre base

[proper rover]

👏

[ebon pumice]

Green cyclops gang 💪

[flint nova]

You can breed fish?

[ebon pumice]

If you put them in an alien containment tank

[flint nova]

Epic

[flint nova]

Ah ok

U mean the big ones that take up a whole multipurpose room

[ebon pumice]

Yeah

[flint nova]

Ok

Do you play geo.etry dash btw? I just noticed ur pfp

[pine quail]

degasi recreated. (I had to change the bulkhead to a hatch since you can't actually do that when making a base :/)

[proper rover]

👍

[flint nova]

Nice

[proper rover]

How do you reach that hatch💀

[pine quail]

thats the thing. you dont

[proper rover]

Ok definitely makes sense lol

[pine quail]

well you can. and any time you exit you fall from the mountain

[proper rover]

wheeeee!! SPLAT

Cause of death: dangerous placement of hatch

[pine quail]

yeah

[proper rover]

“Due to several deaths while exiting inappropriately placed hatches, the PDA will advise base locations for you. For your safety this setting cannot be overridden”

[ebon pumice]

Yeah

[pallid gyro]

lol

[ebon pumice]

Can you connect bases to the old degasi bases?

[proper rover]

No, nor the lifepod for that matter

[ebon pumice]

Finally got my base powered and done with most of the necessary interior stuff

Do you guys like the glare on my screen?

I love it so much

[small hollow]

Oooo what a fun spot for a base!!

If i hadn't made mine in grand reef i would've killed the ghost and built my base where the garg skeleton is

[proper rover]

It looks rly good!

I like your cyclops colour scheme as well

[ebon pumice]

I was thinking of doing that but I wanted to be closer to the cove tree and didn't feel like dealing with the ghost

I killed the one in the northern blood kelp entrance because I normally come that way and it almost destroyed my cyclops

[dusky folio]

Why not make it in cove tree

[ebon pumice]

I'm like 100m from it

[dusky folio]

yea why not the cove tree?

its safer then there

i see a lot of people build there im just wondering

[ebon pumice]

I just like the lr area

Put up some little compartments to use as a docking area

[pallid gyro]

how did you get it to be that small

[ebon pumice]

The bottom part of the cyclops fits perfectly in the width of a single compartment

[dusky folio]

i just got the cyclops docking mod :P

[pseudo rain]

niceee

[keen oracle]

: D

[sour idol]

Ok I’ve started a base in the grand reef next to the entrance to lost river, but I needed more materials so I went into creative and made a rough draft or plan of what the base will look like. The interior is not figured out yet. Ya’ll think it looks good?

[vivid kayak]

Looking good

[small hollow]

!!! Looks good!

[low harness]

Twelve subnautica years later…

[sour idol]

I got a little poll for u guys (yea it’s really random)
Do you always build a starter base in safe shallows far from lost river or build it in a close biome like kelp forest or grassy plateaus?

[elfin geyser]

i build in the bulb zone

it has good power close to the lost river and lighting is useful

[small hollow]

i usually build in grassy!

my current save has it in the grand reef which was such a good idea

[heady jacinth]

Starter mini-base in a single X compartment, directly below the pod. Still use the pod fabricator for that one, it's mainly for additional storage. My first proper base (meaning it has many rooms and a moonpool) is usually on the border between grassy and kelp forest, and is primarily for food production. Usually I only build one more major base at the cove tree. However, I have a bunch of small mini-bases with one multipurpose room, to be used as recharging stations.

[compact hare]

usually i build one base at safe shallows, go down to LR or LZ and build a 2nd base there

[flint nova]

I go for safe shallows so i can access the pod when i dont have fabricators and radios

Also its kinda the definition of a starter base

[glad folio]

usually main/starter base grassy plateus then i'll build little outposts and charging spots in various locations around the map

[lime coyote]

Its not so awesome but its my first try to make a base

[proud hazel]

Its ok

What power generator do u have ???

[lime coyote]

Im use subpanels

sunpanels*

[elfin geyser]

i usualy base around thermal vents

[keen oracle]

there's a couple different ways I do it
in my first playthrough I made a small base in the Mushroom Forest near the NBKZ first, then a bigger one in the Tree Cove much later on shortly before I went to the ILZ
in my second playthrough I made a tiny, single-compartment base for storage then made a smallish base in the Grassy Plateaus, then a massive base in the Deep Grand Reef which served as both my midgame and endgame base
then in my third and hardcore playthrough, I skipped the first tiny base and went straight to a medium sized but still relatively small starter base in the Mushroom Forest bordering the Bulb Zone, then later did the same thing with a huge midgame/endgame base but this time in the BKT
generally the routine I've settled into is, make a small early game base in a shallowish and relatively safe area that's a little ways away from the area you start in, then make a base near a LR entrance that's much bigger and use that to finish the game from
sometimes I'll make other medium sized ones just for fun that aren't near the LR, like the one in the Underwater Islands in my hardcore

[sour idol]

That was a way more complete answer than I was expecting to that poll

[keen oracle]

lol

[sour idol]

I’m bored sooooo

I wanna do another poll, I’m getting this place hype baby 😎

Do you prefer building in BZ or original subnautica?

(Arctic peeper for BZ and normal peeper for original)

[quick hollow]

bz cause there is way more buildings and decorations

basically more building items in general

[sour idol]

That is true, the thing is subnautica’s biomes are beautiful, and BZ in my opinion doesn’t have biomes as good, so BZ has great building and subnautica has great locations

[dusky folio]

if they add bz's building to og

then og will be miles better imo

[proper rover]

also bz base building is not a lag fest like og

[dusky folio]

tru

[proper rover]

and large rooms and multipurpose room glass dome POOG

[quick hollow]

vent garden biome and crystal caves

[proper rover]

lilypads

[dusky folio]

bz also looks a ton better

but the og gameplay is better imo

but those things could be added to og

[proper rover]

And the story

[quick hollow]

in bz we are learning about the death of ur sister but in sn ur trying to escape a planet

[proper rover]

bz story is really vague

[dusky folio]

which is cooler

[proper rover]

sn

[dusky folio]

and with aliens

[quick hollow]

bz

has aliens to

al-an

[dusky folio]

but you see it

[proper rover]

sn scarier tho

[dusky folio]

which imo isnt that cool

less mystery

[quick hollow]

s h a d o w

[dusky folio]

and terror

[limpid spruce]

why is the discussion in here too

this is for sharing bases not for discussing games

[quick hollow]

bruh they should legit make a chat for both games combined

[dusky folio]

lets move to um

[quick hollow]

not even squidding

[dusky folio]

viridian where do we move

[limpid spruce]

BZ room

[proper rover]

bz chat

[dusky folio]

kk

[proper rover]

Since its dead at the moment

[sour idol]

Wow I’m learning more about these games the more polls I do

😌

[keen oracle]

Here's some tips to make nice base screenshots (this only applies to people who play on pc):

Tip #1: If you press F6 several times, it will cycle through different configurations that hide various things. For example, if you press it once it will hide your hotbar, the depth you're at, and your oxygen/health/food/water display, but keep the little orange corners of the scuba mask. If you press it again it stays the same as before only this time it also hides the scuba mask, press it again and it will hide the player's arms, and so on and so forth.
If you go to the one where upon pressing F6 again it goes back to the default view (in other words the one just before the default), that hides the most stuff possible and therefore makes for good screenshots. Alternatively, you can press F11 instead of F12 to take the screenshot, and it will automatically hide your HUD, but the screenshots will be put into a different location so just keep that in mind.

Tip # 2: Setting the texture quality to 4 improves the general look of things, it might lag your game depending on how good your pc is, but a short bit of lag won't matter if you're just using it to take base pictures then setting it lower again once you're done. You can combine this with the first method to take nice, clean screenshots.

Tip #3: Both Steam (F12) and the game's PDA screenshotting (F11) produce somewhat low-quality screenshots, so if you want your base to look really clear and sharp you can do the things mentioned above to hide your HUD and increase the texture quality, but then instead of taking the screenshot with F12 or F11, take it with printscreeen (PrntScrn). On a Windows computer this is typically the Windows key + Fn + PrntScrn. You'll have to find the location these go to, but the screenshots taken with printscreen are much higher quality than either Steam or in-game screenshots.

Hope this helps! : D

[subtle python]

sheesh!

[keen oracle]

I notice a lot of people sending screenshots with their HUD and everything in there, so I thought I'd just give people some tips in case they wanted cleaner looking base pictures so they look more "professional" if you can call it that lol

[sour idol]

As a console player I can relate to those who use their phones to take pictures of the screen itself, which is usually a flat screen TV. So, bits of background and the wall AND the TV itself plus glare are usually in the photo. Don’t let this discourage you. As long as you can clearly see the base(habitat), and the position of the character looking at the base(habitat) is good, the photo is fine and people can give you feedback on your base

Trust me, all my photos have flaws as well, but i still do weekly polls and base posts here, so it’s okay, don’t be jealous of PC screenshots. Sure, taking good pictures is kinda important, but don’t let it make you feel bad in the subnautica building community ☺️😉

(The edits are to fix typos if you were curious)

Ok now I feel like I took pictures a little to seriously 😅

[compact hare]

my starter subnautica base!

[modern panther]

ooo thas cool!

[compact hare]

thanks

[small hollow]

looks sick!

[compact hare]

thanks

[modern panther]

np

[compact hare]

the open bulkhead is wwhat i use for half of the things in my base

like the wall lockers on the outside, cuddlefish in a multipurpose room, etc.

[worn shard]

That looks a lot like mine actually

[small hollow]

It's a pretty good set up

My current set up is. Not the best lol but it works for me

I'll try and get more pics some day I'm just lazyyyy

[modern panther]

i dont have one at all 😉

[small hollow]

I have a whole garden room that's really pretty and makes the base a little more lively

[regal kernel]

not that awesome of a base but still pretty nice
i just now finished building the moonpool and i think it looks pretty good

[civic jasper]

Definitely more of a function over form. 10/10 from me

I need to make a base in the mushroom forest

[compact hare]

pretty cool base

do you use only the solar panels or is there a bioreactor/nuclear reactor in the multipurpose room

[sour idol]

Tube base looking fresh 😏

[compact hare]

noicee

[sour idol]

(This question is actually to help me make decisions🤫)
Do you guys prefer the cyclops as a base for a while or an actual base made with the builder tool?

(House icon for base, cyclops icon for cyclops)

[proper rover]

The start of my floating island base

thoughts?

[sour idol]

It kinda bothers me that it’s totally floating, and the bottom floor is a bit to tuby, maybe turn those tubes into more rooms, or make the entire bottom floor a giant greenhouse

And add a little more to the top

Or the other way around, make the smaller top part more tuby and make that the green house, and the bottom with the moonpool and multipurpose rooms

[remote arch]

My base is too large to render in fully xD
Any tips on that?

[keen oracle]

uhh

piece sections of it together? 😂

or just show it in several parts

if it's bigger than this I will be seriously impressed

[pallid gyro]

my god

[small hollow]

I can feel my game crashing just looking at that

[keen oracle]

if you thought my Deep Grand Reef base was big...xD

it does not even compare to this monstrosity

he literally deleted all the trees in the Mushroom Forest to make that

[sour idol]

My game would have had a stroke just placing another piece onto that

[proper rover]

It’s connected via some tubes to the land so it does look supported, and I have put some observotarys and scanners on the empty ends. Thanks for the feedback 😄

[sour idol]

No problemo 😌

[proper rover]

I will hopefully be able to upload a showcase vid/more pics here soon

[sour idol]

Epic

It’s in creative right?

[proper rover]

No survival

You just cant see my oxygen

[sour idol]

Oh really? I would have made a base below the island in grand reef, not up there

But cool cool

[proper rover]

Ik ive already made my base in mushroom forest but I want to build some random bases across the map bc I love the mechanics…….. yeah I need help

😅

[proper rover]

yeah its just that my health hunger and water bars are not in the shot since I took the picture with my phone

[sour idol]

Also have any of you guys attempted land building? I tried it once and it’s annoying but worth it

[proper rover]

Most of mine is on land here

It can be a bit fiddly if its high up but atleast theres no hull integrity

I had to platform on floating compartments to build some parts of it xD

[sour idol]

In my creative world you can barely drive the cyclops without the game crashing, that’s how much I’ve built. I have sub topia, a bunch of bases in the grassy plateaus, land topia, a bunch of bases on the giant island, and lava topia, bases in the lava zone, and as fun I have abandoned bases scattered around the island that I made to pretend there were humans before, plus abandoned ships, which are seamoths and Cyclopes just scattered around with lights off and stuck in creative ways

[proper rover]

thats amazing!!

[sour idol]

The thing is it’s hard to explore because of the lag

[proper rover]

Yeah I have 2 bases and already my switch is literally on fire

[sour idol]

https://tenor.com/view/lag-cat-walking-not-moving-forward-gif-15348457

[proper rover]

Also I was inspired by the YouTuber Oarfish

[sour idol]

I mean I’m on console and it’s bad, I can’t imagine the pain on switch 😔

[proper rover]

Its horrible…. building one window takes like 15 seconds bc of lag afterwards

[sour idol]

🔫

One window?

Dang

That’s really rough

But once a switch gamer, it’s hard to turn on it, I speak from experience, I had a switch until my house was under construction and now I have no idea where it is

[proper rover]

Under your house lol

[proper rover]

Yeah it is hard to turn on the switch

[sour idol]

Under the world, under the aurora, in a reapers stomach, in Jesus’s hands, in my butt, in the middle of the sun, in the- oh, there it is!

[proper rover]

reapers stomach most likely

[sour idol]

(I wish I could say those words, “there it is”) 😔

[proper rover]

😥😥

[sour idol]

Switch is good for your muscles ☺️

So always remember to eat switch with dinner

😂

Then for dessert you can chase down a cyclops

No cyclops munching before dinner

Lol

[proper rover]

finshed off with a nice seamoth steak👍

[sour idol]

And a drink of aurora radiation👍

[pseudo rain]

Aurora radiation 10/10

[proper rover]

Ryley: 5/10 not very filling

[remote arch]

Almost actually. It's a Below Zero base on the world edge, spanning from the surface down to the sea floor. It's supposed to be a research base.

[keen oracle]

in creative I hope? xD

[remote arch]

Yeah. Trying my hand at a more aesthetic base. It's based on one of my survival designs

[small hollow]

Love this part in my base so much

The picture frames are pretty cool

[frigid hamlet]

[small hollow]

Almost had to kill the ghost for that screenshot but it was worth it

[subtle python]

nice

😉

[sour idol]

My BZ survival base

[proper rover]

that one moonpool leg tho

[low harness]

Stronk legg

[proper rover]

yeah lol

Supporting all that weight

[sour idol]

He’s been hitting the gym 💪

[sour idol]

This one, has NOT been hitting the gym 😔

[elfin geyser]

lol

[keen oracle]

that reminds me of when I came back to one of my survival bases once and all of the legs got unloaded except one

it looked so hilarious I put it in a picture frame in my Cyclops

[sour idol]

💪😎

[compact hare]

that leg is S T R O M K

almost stromker than a prawn suit

[fast quest]

meme format material

[compact hare]

yes

[proper rover]

I hate it when supports should load in but they dont

also floating island base update this afternoon

[flint nova]

interior of my base. my moonpool is empty apart from my seamoth which hasnt been modded yet apart from deapth module mk1

[sour idol]

Cool!

I always put machines in separate rooms so you don’t always here the noise though

Also my BZ base interior should be posted this afternoon or tomorrow morning

[keen oracle]

I have pictures of my hardcore base that I could send but I wanna wait until I make the YouTube tour video

[sour idol]

I would never do hardcore, I remember the first hardcore world I did I died to a stalker

The second, drowning

And the 3rd, well it’s embarrassing, fall damage in the mountains on the giant island 🥺

[keen oracle]

that's funny cause I remember falling like a quarter of a kilometer from my giant tower I once made in survival and somehow landing on the bottom compartment without dying xD

[sour idol]

Ok 12:00 marks the afternoon time so

Don’t mind the background noise 😅

I need some feedback on what to put in the empty space in the large rooms

So if you got any ideas pls share

[proper rover]

floating island base update!!!!

what is your guys opinion?

[pallid gyro]

its nice

[proper rover]

Ty!!

[sour idol]

It’s nice, but since it’s so stretched out there are, again, a lot of straight places that are all tubes. Realistically that base is to big because of the amount of walking you have to do to get to one room from another. That’s why I made topias, which have separate buildings stretched across land to get rid of the tubes. But other than that it looks great 👌

(Not to mention you did that in survival)

[proper rover]

Yeah Im not sure why 😅 Also Its mainly for the fun of building it and I wanted it to be big but your points are really valid anyway, especially if I was building my legit base

I spent hours grinding outcrops in lost river, grand reef and crag fields to amass enough titanium and glass

(Ive already used about 17 lockers worth of titanium, and 10 lockers of glass 😭

[sour idol]

That’s so much

I would never grind so much like that 😔

[keen oracle]

can relate

I've done that like twice, making both of my big bases

[small hollow]

When i make lockers, i used to make the glass ones but now it's only the titanium ones cuz the glass ones are such a waste they just look kinda neat lol

[pallid gyro]

the glass ones have more storage than just titanium ones and can be placed more freely

[small hollow]

Ah i didn't even notice that

I still prefer the titanium ones cuz they don't cost as much

[pallid gyro]

i go for the glass ones. they look better and i need a lot of storage for stuff

but the titanium ones are good for the cyclops

[sour idol]

What would ya’ll put in empty large rooms to fill space

I need ideas 😮‍💨🥺

[fast quest]

Guest bedrooms?

[pallid gyro]

storage or aquariums

[sour idol]

Hm okay

Cuz I have the 2 stacked large rooms and inside those is a 2-floor tall Aiken containment with fish, the rest of space is kinda empty so that’s why

[proper rover]

You could put some work desks or counters

Make a sorta communications corner

Like a couple of desks one after the other with swivel chairs

|=desk. ^ =chair ^||||||^

best I can do lol

[sour idol]

Thankfully BZ has a ton of outcrops unlike original so it will be easy to get stacked in titanium

[proper rover]

Yeah and all of those seaglide frags in twisty 😋

Also ion power cells are op in the cyclops!

[sour idol]

Yup

[proper rover]

They are better in bz bc you unlock them earlier so they are actually useful, whereas in original they are only useful if you have a base building addiction

[sour idol]

in BZ everything that you spend hours to find and create in the original game is already unlocked

It’s so nice

Like the battery charger and multipurpose room

[proper rover]

And the mod station!

[sour idol]

And beds I’m pretty sure

[proper rover]

Unfortunately getting diamonds is difficult when you get it anyway

[sour idol]

Or no u scan those

[sour idol]

I have 4 wall lockers full of diamonds 😶‍🌫️

Same with gold and lithium

[proper rover]

🧐

[sour idol]

In my survival world I grinded for a long time while listening to Ed Sheeran

However you spell it

[proper rover]

[sour idol]

I ended up not even using half of the materials and thats how I learned to not stay in caves reusing oxygen plants and having 5 seatruck storage modules for over 3 hours

https://tenor.com/view/everything-is-fine-itsfine-burning-flame-my-life-going-so-far-gif-5182223

[proper rover]

The seatruck is so slow 😔

[sour idol]

When it has modules yes

So I always only use the fabricator, storage, teleporter, and docking modules

That reminds me…

[proper rover]

yes

I dont use teleporter usually

[sour idol]

I was driving the seatruck without modules and I wasn’t so used to how fast it was so this happened… 😮‍💨

[pallid gyro]

how did you even do that

[fast quest]

where base

[sour idol]

Boost out of water by accident, I boosted while looking up because I wanted to see the weather, and I always do that but with modules I never go up, but when I did it without them this happened

Now when I pass by I see it 😐

[proper rover]

Wait did you make a new one?

[pallid gyro]

you would have to

[proper rover]

that sucks lol

[sour idol]

I made a new one, luckily the seatruck isn’t that expensive and the modules are still there since I is connected them

[sour idol]

Heyo I got another poll for u guys, it doesn’t really have anything to do with building but I wanted to know, which do you think is better In SURVIVAL, the seatruck (BZ) or cyclops? (Original)

(Cyclops icon for cyclops and truck icon for seatruck)

[tawdry vapor]

I think you could turn the upper room to a greenhouse room by adding a glass dome on the top and adding lot of plants

[sour idol]

I already have a greenhouse 😔

I have all my rooms showcased in this vid

[tawdry vapor]

Then idk

[sour idol]

🤷‍♂️

Oh well

I will figure out somethin

[tawdry vapor]

Maybe build little aquariums too.

[ebon pumice]

Do the hatch ladder etc animations all work in bz

[modern tulip]

Blood Kelp Zone trench base.

[rain glacier]

why no window

[boreal monolith]

Uhh base pressure for one, also the fact that the view can be terrifying.

That’s why I don’t add windows to bases down there but idk their reason

[ebon pumice]

Adding stuff

Why is it so blurry

[compact hare]

kdi

[rain glacier]

rate my cyclops 1-10

[compact hare]

i rate it 1 - 10

because you said rate it 1 - 10

but actually, this is a really good cyclops i rate it 8/10

[sour idol]

I love my cyclops, and it’s name

“Betsy”

[sour idol]

Here’s what I did with my empty large rooms

[keen oracle]

After working on it for weeks, I finally present my second mega base, this time in hardcore:
Deep Lab Zero. This research base is built in the Blood Kelp Trench and contains 24 multipurpose rooms (plus many other habitat modules), filled with all the necessities that you could want.

Two moonpools sit on a ledge some distance down, connected to the rest of the base with a rather long ladder.

The greenhouse grows plants used for eating, namely Marblemelons, Chinese Potatos and Bulbo Trees.

The reactor tower contains 3 Nuclear Reactors and 2 Bioreactors, and the base also receives power from 6 Thermal Plants down in the Lost River Corridor, for a total of exactly 10,000 base power (not including stored energy).

My living quarters consist of (from bottom to top) a TV room, a living room, a kitchen, a cuddlefish aquarium room and my bedroom at the top.

The 8 story high labratory tower is mostly taken up by a 7 story Alien Containment filled with every kind of hatchable fauna. The floors surrounding it are packed with chargers, fabricators, and other industrial-type equipment. The 6 story tower directly in front of this one has office space, a water filtration room, a Crabsquid room and more.

Finally, the indoor garden hangs off the back of the labratory tower, containing every harvestable land flora. A ladder from here goes up into a glass corridor which offers a nice overhead view of the garden, and leads into the Scanner Room placed on top of the labratory tower.

[sour idol]

What- just- what

It’s so big

And you had the free time to decorate the inside?

[dusky folio]

amazing...

just wondering did you do this in survival?

[sour idol]

My gosh

Hardcore

Says in first message

I would, again, never farm all those materials to make that

[keen oracle]

it was a lot of work lol

[sour idol]

I would make giant mega bases in creative but the closest my console would let me was 50 pieces ☠️

[keen oracle]

surprisingly it hardly lags my game, even with texture quality on 4 unless I'm holding my habitat builder

[sour idol]

Any more than that and the game crashes

[keen oracle]

why are the solar panels so randomly placed lol

[jolly shard]

I didnt care

[sour idol]

The solar panels look like they are dancing 😂

[jolly shard]

If you want to think of it that way u can

[sour idol]

Also it looks expensive to have 3 large rooms, what do you even put in those

[jolly shard]

I made 1 my room for plants one my office and bathroom, and 1 is my bio and bedroom

[keen oracle]

I didn't know you could stagger large rooms like that, that could be interesting for a base

[sour idol]

The max I put is 2, the res is multipurpose rooms. In both large rooms I stack them so i can have a 2 story high alien containment, and yea that’s what I use them for

[jolly shard]

I'm planning on making a void base to watch cheliserate

I cant spell sorry

[sour idol]

Everyone makes one of those eventually 😉😏

[sour idol]

It’s alright everyone makes errors

[jolly shard]

Using the eggs on switch crashes the game so that's why I dont have those

[jolly shard]

Thank u I guess?

[sour idol]

Console isn’t really better 😭

[sour idol]

Idk I felt like sayin it

[keen oracle]

you guys might wanna move to #below-zero-chat as to not clog up this one

[jolly shard]

I wish I could use computer because it's better

[jolly shard]

Sorry

Look in below zero chat I have something really cool in there

[sour idol]

(This isn’t one of my polls, just a legit question)

I’ve built In lots of places in BZ, some I forgot the name of, and I wanna know where else I could possibly build a nice base in creative or survival. I’ve built in the lily pad biome, the deep lilly caverns, the shallows, twisty Briges, black vents, and in that purple/ tree forest on land. (Sorry for spelling) so I wanna know where I should build next, plus what gamemode to do it in so that I can post it tomorrow

[keen oracle]

Tree Spires or Crystal Caves would be cool

in survival

[sour idol]

Hm ok thanks

[proper rover]

big base update tomorrow!!!

[pallid gyro]

as in a game update or an update of your base?

[ebon pumice]

Added 8 more rooms

[proper rover]

oh sorry I meant a furnishing update to my base 😅

[proper rover]

Very nice, the layout and structure is amazing as I love the compact but complex design, as well as being able to get to somewhere quickly. The towers of rooms could do with some windows here and there but I understand that integrity is a massive problem!! An observotary would be nice coming out of the moonpool. But yeah its a really nice base

You could also add a couple of spotlights on the moonpool and top of multipurpose rooms and glass corridors to make it look more cinematic and aesthetically pleasing @ebon pumice

[pallid gyro]

i just wanted to know which one you ment lol

[proper rover]

yeah

I would post some now but I mainly grinded resources and did minor changes so not many pics anyway 🤪

[ebon pumice]

I might do some small lights or something later, even though I have nuclear power I'm still concerned about draining power. Lol

Do the swivel chairs not actually swivel?

[pallid gyro]

nope

[ebon pumice]

Bruh I just hit my base with a camera drone and flooded it

[pallid gyro]

oof

[proper rover]

how does hitting an extreme environmental base with a literal CAMERA flood it?

Subnautica logic

[next dust]

Love your base

[proper rover]

Nuclear power is very long lasting, so you shouldn’t have to worry abt power that much. My base has tons of lights and the power has been holding up for ages 👌

but worrying abt power is good bc it is a major factor in base building

really nice

[ebon pumice]

Epic embed fail time

[proper rover]

WTF

By the way you should put a vid of a camera drone circling your base in more detail

[ebon pumice]

I wish there was a way to remove the hud

Oh my god I bumped my base as I started using the camera and started a flood again

[proper rover]

Oh yeah that annoying gyroscope hud

B o n k

[proper rover]

Nice I love the cinematic view

[ripe marsh]

@next dust @proper rover hey guys i finished my base

[next dust]

Showwwww

[ripe marsh]

ok here (:

the big opening on the left is for cuddle fish btw

[next dust]

AYYYY VERY NICE

[ripe marsh]

ty (:

[jolly shard]

Looks pretty good, wanna see mine

[hasty lily]

nice

[sour idol]

Sigh well I was just about finished with the survival base and right when I places a spotlight the game crashed and I lost 1 hour of base building progress. I’m upset and not in the mood to rebuild everything and getting all those materials back, so bare with me that I will do it in creative 😢😭

[proper rover]

Really nice base @ripe marsh I love the layout of the rooms. Really good base 😎

[atomic zealot]

Don't click

It's a virus

[proper rover]

[vivid kayak]

is it just me does the BZ bases looks cooler

[modern sonnet]

well technically you do have more features for base making in bz

[vivid kayak]

yes

[thorn sentinel]

finished renovating my main base in the shallows

[pallid gyro]

nice

[thorn sentinel]

thanks, it took 3 days

[pallid gyro]

just building or getting the resources too?

[thorn sentinel]

both combined

[pallid gyro]

impressive

[thorn sentinel]

moving them into the cyclops for storage, moving them into their respective places, it was a hassle

[pseudo rain]

damn right

I just have to move 3 lockers in a wall for the scan station to attach

can’t have enough of those lockers…

[proper rover]

“Cannot deconstruct”

🤬

[pallid gyro]

its annoying

[sour idol]

“Please remove your enteral organs, your family, Jesus, and the universe first to deconstruct”

[cinder wigeon]

niccccccccce

[mystic kelp]

Good job nice one

[jolly shard]

Base tour

[mystic kelp]

[ebon pumice]

[jolly shard]

?

[silver sand]

I Build my 3rd base there are in the lost river ( I don`t know what are a Spoiler :(.)

[jolly shard]

Pretty good

Makes me want to build a fourth base

[silver sand]

i like build a 4th base in the lava zone

[jolly shard]

I'm in bz

[silver sand]

😮 ok

[dusky folio]

i want to see a base inside the pcf

[jolly shard]

That's a cyclops

Ima start to go down in my void base

[dusky folio]

found one

[jolly shard]

?

[dusky folio]

i might move into the pcf

many teleportors

[jolly shard]

Moonpool on my void base (for scanning leviathon)

Wait

What if I made a cage around the moon pool?

[ebon pumice]

I meant to respond to just the one where the huge shrimp thing was going through your base

[sour idol]

Unless it wasn’t finished, the large room looks really empty. I know it’s meant to be a greenhouse kinda room, but maybe use walls and doors to cut the large rooms into smaller sections, or just walls. Then, put plants in there. I would recommend using all that space for other things, also I feel like those tube hallways are a little to long, they look weird and are annoying to walk through. Other than that great base!

[jolly shard]

Lol it's a void base

[jolly shard]

I added more to it, I could do another tour if you want

[sour idol]

Nah don’t worry

[jolly shard]

It's hard to build when you have 3 chelicerate around your base

But it is surprisingly easy to get outside pictures

[sour idol]

It’s like building in a small cave

The pictures of the cave are awesome, but it’s hard to build

That’s what I compare it to 🤷‍♂️

[jolly shard]

It's more like building in a cave with a million crashfish :/

You have to be really careful

[jolly shard]

Yes but the whole wall is crashfish

[ebon pumice]

crashfish vs reaper leviathan

who will win

[jolly shard]

Reaper

[ebon pumice]

no!

crashfish scares away the reaper

crashfish wins by default

[jolly shard]

Wth

How dies that work

[proper rover]

rooms update

thoughts?

[mystic kelp]

Thats an awesome base good job

[proper rover]

Ty!!!!

But please dont ask me how much time I spent farming resources 😅

[proper rover]

Nice base I like the layout

[lunar nexus]

Grassy plateaus is always a great place for a base

[proper rover]

Yeah there are not many hazards and there are lots of resources within easy reach, as well as access to jelly caves

[lunar nexus]

Indeed

[proper rover]

Especially quartz which is great since bases need ALOT of glass

[lunar nexus]

Lots of sandstone chunks, easy access to resourceful biomes, only hazards are biters and sandsharks, it's very flat, it's just a very good biome to build a base, only downside is that it's 100 meters down so it's a bit harder to reach your base when you're at the surface and the only form of transportation is a seaglide

[lunar nexus]

Thanks to that I was able to build a giant aquarium

[proper rover]

Also those rock spires can be used to create some interesting bases, there are also several wrecks so easy access to titanium and fragments

Ive built a couple of bases here

[lunar nexus]

One of the plateaus is also near that one wall at the mushroom forest and that wall is FULL of the chunks that hold lithium and all the other valuable recources

Another awesome place to build a base is the active lava zone, it's very flat thanks to the lava and it's kind of easy accessible thanks to the portals at the architect base

[proper rover]

That escalated quickly….

[lunar nexus]

Yeah lol

Tbh Subnautica has much more good places to build a base than below zero

[proper rover]

Yeah bz doesn’t have many base options

[pseudo rain]

I wouldnt say this is an awsome base but its the best i got rn

[lunar nexus]

Hmmm

[proper rover]

Its really nice I like the way its tucked into the roots and those solar panels

[lunar nexus]

Solar panels down at 150 meters is a bad idea

[proper rover]

You could make windows and more rooms tho

[proper rover]

They still work

[pseudo rain]

well it mostly runs off of the 2 bio reactors i stuffed inside

[lunar nexus]

You get almost nothing out of the panels at that depth

[lunar nexus]

Yeah but not really great

[pseudo rain]

well i like them, they also add extra power cap so thats a bonus

[proper rover]

Yeah but they are good as backup power

[lunar nexus]

I recommend you get a nuclear reactor if possible, they give you 2500 power and they regenerate at a very high speed

[pseudo rain]

now excuse me for a bit while i get the perimiter defense system

[proper rover]

its good

[pseudo rain]

max depth i can go to is 300m you think ill achive ANYTHING with that?

[lunar nexus]

No but I said when it's possible

[proper rover]

And you have to get s**t tons of uranite to power it

[lunar nexus]

Uranite is easy to get

[proper rover]

In late game yes

[lunar nexus]

I see the problem

[proper rover]

But its found in deep biomes

[lunar nexus]

Yeahhhhh

Like the ghost tree

[proper rover]

It can be found in bk rarely but not enough to farm effectively

Bioreactors are grear for mid/early game bases

[lunar nexus]

Mhm

Especially if you build a base at sea treaders path

[proper rover]

alien faeces pog

[pseudo rain]

any cool bases in ||crystal caves||?

[proper rover]

idk it might work or you could do it yourself

idk who to ask tho

[keen oracle]

I how how it's wrapped around the plateaus

I'm the kind of person who gets slightly annoyed when things are just floating and ignoring physics so I like a base that's grounded and fully attached to stuff all over 👍

[ebon pumice]

That looks sick

[ebon pumice]

Is that the cyclops docking mod thing on the right of is that just a vertical thingy with the cyclops parked above it

It looks pretty unorganized but still cool for some reason

[fast quest]

mod

[ebon pumice]

Normally I hate anything and everything that isn't symmetrical

[hasty lily]

mod

[hasty lily]

its pretty organized in my eyes

[unreal mason]

What's the best location for a base in subnautica?

[wintry spruce]

SAME

[small hollow]

i personally suggest grand reef!

[compact hare]

i personally suggest Blood Kelp Zone as in certain places its very beautiful

[vivid kayak]

mushroom forest, much resureces and near to late game locations

north east one

[proper rover]

Yes 🍄🌳definitely

[keen oracle]

my 2 favourite biomes for base building are the Grand Reef and the Blood Kelp Trench

[proper rover]

I like building them in mushroom forest, cove tree and grassy plateus

[pseudo rain]

? Whats with that reaction?

[pseudo rain]

well yall seem to respond in a very negative way

[proper rover]

???

[proper rover]

Didnt you post your lr base here, I got a ping and saw it in notifications but its not here 😭

[pseudo rain]

people seemed to be disgsted so i took the pic down

disgusted*

[fast quest]

wdym disgusted

how would you get disgusted by some multipurpose rooms and corridors

[sour idol]

We don’t get disgusted here

It’s only feedback pointing out small issues or misunderstood messages 👍

[dusky folio]

can you send it again?

unless its something offensive i dont get why people would react that way

[fast quest]

yeah

[pseudo rain]

Fine

[ebon pumice]

Lol I like the waterfall (brinefall?) going through the base

That's almost exactly where my base is

How did you get creepvine down there? I need to do that.

[pseudo rain]

I stocked up on when i was still near the surface

Heres a more close up of the base

@dusky folio @sour idol @fast quest @proper rover here i sent my base

[fringe citrus]

@pseudo rain thats really cool!

[pallid gyro]

why would people get offended by that?

[pseudo rain]

not offended, the reactions were really strange

[austere glacier]

thats an awesome base right here

[pseudo rain]

thanks

[pseudo rain]

ty

[austere glacier]

how are you so deep and not dying?

[pseudo rain]

oxygen?

[acoustic kernel]

Cool base :D

[pseudo rain]

thanks.

[pseudo rain]

also wdym?

[fast quest]

nice

[austere glacier]

like the seamoth not being squished because of the depth

[pseudo rain]

i dont even have a seamoth down there xD

also depth modules exist

[austere glacier]

ayo im seeing things

[acoustic kernel]

I can never built my base in deep places im too scared i stay in the safe shallows

[austere glacier]

also the prawn suit

[pseudo rain]

lol i got really bored of the safe shallows

[pseudo rain]

depth module

[austere glacier]

o

[acoustic kernel]

Its boring but s a f e

[pseudo rain]

and same with my cyclops, depth module

[pseudo rain]

the lost river is pretty save and its also a gold mine OF ALL GOOD THINGS

[acoustic kernel]

Isnt there a ghost

[pseudo rain]

yes only near the front

once ur past him u dont need to worry abt it

[acoustic kernel]

Ohh ok

[night berry]

well its good to have bases in deep places, so that you can have a place nearby to store materials while collecting, and down deep, also be able to recharge your equipment/vehicles

[acoustic kernel]

Fair point

[pseudo rain]

plus lost river is my fav biome

[night berry]

i always have a pitstop base by the ||Sea dragon bones in the lost river|| since its basically a hub for the ||lost river||

[pseudo rain]

oh lol thats my main base there

[night berry]

heres my base in the ||inactive lava zone||, its not much, but was just a small encampment on one of the ||Spires|| so that i could recharge my vehicles

[pseudo rain]

where do u get the nuclear reactor blueprints btw?

[night berry]

there are enough near the ||Bloodvine trench wreck in the southwest||

[acoustic kernel]

Cant u get some in the grassy plateau area too

[tawdry vapor]

Lol I store almost all of my stuff in my cyclops

[proper rover]

Thats a really nice base 🧐 I love the location.!! Really nice job

[pseudo rain]

Thanks

[night berry]

well you can't really create your seamoth/prawn mods in the cyclops, so a base down deeps saves some time

[tawdry vapor]

I have a base in the lost river and I use it for things like that but I don't need it that much

[proper rover]

@pseudo rain My cove tree base. This is still a prototype and it will change over time, and I will relocate the reinforcements and place windows later

What do you guys think?

[pseudo rain]

ok

really cool so far

[proper rover]

TY!!!

Ive already used like 10 lockers of titanium

It’s getting expensive

[pseudo rain]

@proper rover improvments here and there

i want the base to look like a mess xD

idk why i just like that kinda vibe

[abstract sparrow]

me too

[proper rover]

yeah it looks really nice! I love the ‘messy’ theme, and all of those connected corridors and rooms make an interesting complex! You could add some windows here and there and along the corridors

@pseudo rain

[pseudo rain]

yeah im working on that rn

currently stocking up on titanium for more storage

[proper rover]

Yeah collecting resources is a pain

Especially titanium and glass 😤

[pseudo rain]

lmao ive found so much titanium so far

[proper rover]

lucky 🧐

[pseudo rain]

i was looking for shale to get diamonds when i stumbled upon atleast 4 titan deposits

[proper rover]

🧐

[keen oracle]

#subnautica-chat just so this one doesn't get filled with stuff that isn't base pictures

[proper rover]

Lr is a literal titanium mine!

K

[pseudo rain]

Dude were discussing bases fr

This titan plus the 3 lockers infront of me

[keen oracle]

well it was more resources but whatever

just don't want this channel getting clogged that's all

[proper rover]

Ok sure

👍

[pseudo rain]

(its 8 lockers now btw)

[proper rover]

Ive already used like 10 lockers worth of titanium and im not even done yet!!

And I haven’t even started decorating……….

[eternal monolith]

my babies

[ebon pumice]

[pseudo rain]

i wonder if ill be able to make it into a maze-like base in the future..

[compact hare]

the fuel gives less energy when grown up

[fading mist]

Hi all, did one of you ever try or manage to build a vertical connector through this hole in one of the western icebergs? Would love to build a moondock at the bottom and connect to a base at the surface. I think this has the potential to an awesome start for a base but at some point one of the connectors always gets obstructed by some terrain, just by a small distance. Have been trying for hours now ... 😦
Would love to hear your thoughts #challengeaccepted

[night berry]

i would suggest either taking it down and repositioning the i section below, or if building the tube isn't possible, finding a bigger hole to try again would be my next thought

[pseudo rain]

I began woking on my void base, got a nuclear reactor ready.

[midnight grail]

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong

[proper rover]

[eternal monolith]

Fuel?

[proper rover]

🤨

[proper rover]

Wd you think of my base?

[compact hare]

yeah i said it as a joke

like you can put the eggs in a bioreactor and thats the joke

[pseudo rain]

its great

[proper rover]

Ty!!

[proper rover]

SADISM

[mystic kelp]

My subnautica base inactive lava zone.

My subnautica below zero base (i can't remember location's name).

Also sorry for bad quality (I had to screenshot it cause I play on ps4)

[crimson dock]

Sameee I play ps4 too

[keen oracle]

I can count the pixels in these images xD how bad is your camera (no offense lol it's just funny how bad it is)

[pine quail]

why do people not take screenshots?

[keen oracle]

ps4

you can only take screenshots on pc

[pallid gyro]

you can take screenshots on xbox too, but i dont know how to get it to a computer

[pine quail]

oh

[keen oracle]

are those actual Xbox screenshots or just ones that go into Subnautica's PDA?

[ebon pumice]

You can screenshot on ps4 but there's not really a good way to import them to a pc or phone

You can use a usb drive for clips so I guess you probably can for screenshots too

I usually just use the remote play app and screen record it on my phone

I should figure out how to get clips on a usb drive

[proper rover]

thoughts?

[fringe citrus]

Very good @proper rover

I likey

[pseudo rain]

You think its easy to know what to build on the interior

But id say thats the hardest part

[pallid gyro]

they are pda screenshots but i think you can take xbox screenshots just as easily

[sour idol]

That gave me an idea for a poll 🤔
But I honestly think the interior is easier, I guess it’s just my thing or something 🤷‍♂️

finding the exact location for a base could be hard

Thad what I usually struggle with

[rain stone]

Base

[proper rover]

It looks like a spacecraft XD

But pretty nice job

[rain stone]

who said that wasn't the plan

[proper rover]

rip integrity

[rain stone]

nah i got reinforcements

[proper rover]

arrghh I just noticed that one missing tube

[rain stone]

yeah the middle one has plants and water

might move them

[proper rover]

Yeah do that

Or you could place the moonpool in the middle, observotary at the front and hatch coming out of the middle multipurpose room to make it more symmetrical

[rain stone]

true

[proper rover]

And put 1 room at the back to make up the loss of the room in the middle

[rain stone]

could do that

[proper rover]

And windows

[rain stone]

some have windows

but that's the important rooms

[proper rover]

🙃

[pseudo rain]

Dont ask.

[sonic sigil]

Nice

[pseudo rain]

@proper rover

[pseudo rain]

Oh wow

Im gonna make another one in the ilz now XD

You must’ve been playing for awhile

Yeah ive beaten the game once now lol

Gonna start moving everything onto my cyclops

I just need to know where the multipurpose room fragments are and how to power the scanner room

U need a power source obv

And the multi purpose room can be found on the floating island

The one with the alien base?

No

[pseudo rain]

The one that floats

[rain moon]

The floating island.

[pseudo rain]

I’ve never heard of it

Not the Quarantine Enforcement Platform

[rain moon]

Or ||any degasi base||

[pseudo rain]

Or that yes

I don’t know what those are either

[fringe citrus]

U will soon

Its in the story n stuff

[keen oracle]

interior can be hard when you have a base that's big enough that you don't know what to fill it with

but also, as someone else said, trying to find just the right spot to build, cuz plants and terrain often get in the way

[proper rover]

😮

Thats pretty cool ngl

[pseudo rain]

Ty lol

I moved to the ilz now XD

[proper rover]

🥵

Infinite power POG

[pseudo rain]

lol i dont use thermal plants

im relying on the nuclear plant thats in the habitat

[pseudo rain]

not anymore atleast

[proper rover]

Nuclear reactors are op tbh

🤑

[pseudo rain]

What

[subtle python]

amatuers

[proper rover]

🤨

[subtle python]

🙂

[proper rover]

im no amateur

game beat 6 times

1 hardcore

1 nomad run

🧐

[proper rover]

Pretty good @olive mural

[pseudo rain]

built on one of my old multiplayer mod servers

[dusky folio]

where is that?

grand reef without the balls?

[dusky folio]

asking about this one

[fast quest]

That's Sea Treaders' Path, specifically the entrance to the Sea Treader Tunnel Cave

If you want to get there go west of lifepod 19 until you get to the path, then follow it north

[dusky folio]

the biome i have least explored is sea treaders path

ive only went to it once for maybe a minute

but now im in cove tree so idk how to head there

[pseudo rain]

looks decent far too big tho, would hate trying to find food if you were about to die lol

[pseudo rain]

looks sick

[pseudo rain]

it was made to house lots of people, hence the "multiplayer mod" part

I made the first 2, my friend made the third

also I'm recreating the second one on my new server bc the old one got reset a long time ago, it's going to be much more organized

[pseudo rain]

ah i thought it was just for u that makes it 10x better then lol

[thorny river]

There is no such thing as a base being too big

[pseudo rain]

i used to agree until the horrible day where i lost like 0 loot trying to find my food locker in my base

now i live in my cyclops

💀

[keen oracle]

the fact that this is coming from a guy that made a literal city makes this statement 10x better xD

and I fully agree, I love making large bases
