[cerulean zodiac]

Creatures would still in theory attack you in the Observatory biome, but you're in a base, so they can't attack you anyway

[pallid gyro]

that has been proven false

ive seen people go into an observatory in the void while being chased by ghost leviathans and those things immidiatly backed off

[cerulean zodiac]

Well yeah, the void Ghost Leviathans use different AIs to the other aggressive creatures

They're hard-programmed to leave the player alone when they leave the Void biome

[halcyon bridge]

my base so far in subnautica below zero!

[languid sun]

Underground tunnel network station (built in creative with mods)

[pseudo rain]

i love the idea of that

[languid sun]

same

[pseudo rain]

i should really get the terraforming mod

how did you get into it though? wheres the entrance

or did you use the quantum teleporter

[languid sun]

theres multiple research facilities on the surface connected to tunnels

[pseudo rain]

damn thats sick

would feel so safe to be in there with a raging leviathan outside

then it morphs through the ground

[languid sun]

boutta build a plateau facility

[pseudo rain]

what are the glass tunnels about though?

are they gonna connect to someplace

[languid sun]

theres one behind this place connected to a mushroom forest facility

and another connected to a creepvine facility

[pseudo rain]

so you just got an entire network

that would be so useful in survival lol

get anywhere you need to go hella fast and safely

[languid sun]

unfortunately it would be nearly impossible without immense time, effort, and patience

[pseudo rain]

sadly yeah

u got any other mods or is it just the terraforming one

(like, building mods)

decorationsmod etc

[languid sun]

i have habitat control pannel

decorations

[pseudo rain]

decorations mod is top tier

[languid sun]

snap to grid

[pseudo rain]

is the terraforming from building tweaks?
or is that a seperate mod

[languid sun]

seperate

https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/504

[pseudo rain]

thanks ill get it sometime it seems helpful as hell

really frustrating when you spent an hour making a base then you cant add a key feature cause some invisible terrain is there

[languid sun]

you can only get the tool with commands tho

i suppose you could just give it to yourself and delete resources of your choice

[pseudo rain]

doesnt it terraform while building?

[languid sun]

yes

[pseudo rain]

thats all i really care about, terraformer was a dumb tool in the first place imo

i remember using it in the very early builds and thinking ''god damn this doesnt fit the game at all''

sad that the epic model went to waste tho

[languid sun]

when i heard about it i was like "god damn this fits the game so well" lol

[dull prairie]

I LOVE THAT!! ❤️

[pseudo rain]

i like it but the locker room is kinda weird

[proper rover]

Looks great, but in the locker room put some glass lockers in the middle, and benches to make it less empty.

Otherwise great base!!!

When you get ||planter|| blueprints, plonk them around the base; in corners, along corridors et cetera to improve it even more

[halcyon bridge]

Ight thx für the design tips

[bold kettle]

anyone got any good base-building or interior design tips?

i always feel like the inside of my base is lacking

[keen oracle]

for exterior building, I'd suggest putting things on foundations as I find it makes the base feel more solid and grounded compared to just being held up by legs, also build vertically not just horizontally so the base doesn't seem flat
as for interior, use things like wall planters wherever you can but without being excessive, where you have empty spaces that aren't being used for anything functional (like filtration machines or beds for example), fill the area with decorative things like desks, chairs/benches, wall shelves, aquariums, vending machines, really anything decorative
also use plant pots/wall planters throughout the base as well as things like picture frames, I like to make sure I have 2 wall planters on either side of any doorway like this:

in short, just try to fill the space as much as you can without it being repetitive or cramped

it will cost a lot more but will be worth it for looks

for an example here's one of the rooms in a small survival base I have

hope my advice helps : )

[fast quest]

I'd put in more windows

[gentle moat]

Dont want to be rude but you could make it more organized and stack the rooms in 4 room stacks then put moonpool on some side and yoy can put it against a wall or a cliff and then put windows in the opposite walss but thats just a idea if you want to make it a more sudel and tighter

Theres a lot of waste space you can get lesser rooms and put locker back to back then you can have two lockers in place of one

[halcyon bridge]

finished base before i go beat the game!

[ornate escarp]

Purty

[cerulean zodiac]

I think a few Foundations could make it look a bit better, but the interior is really nice

[full spade]

man haven't used this channel for a while

[proper rover]

Np

[heady jacinth]

I really wish there was a snap to grid option for placing items inside a base. I like the free movement and free rotation when setting the first module up, but I wish that I could get all my lockers even. And don't get me started on the damned solar panels...

[keen oracle]

I thought that thing outside the glass dome in the first pic was a Reefback for a second and I was confused 😂

very nice interior design tho

[molten spire]

Has there been any mention of bringing the qol/base building improvements from sub zero to the classic subnautica?

[ionic field]

Rate my base a setup please

[pseudo rain]

is that chess board

its good

it looks good lol

[flint shadow]

shopping mall

[ionic field]

Thx

[ionic field]

How’s this

[keen oracle]

I would add more windows to it

and maybe expand it a bit vertically so it doesn't look so flat

[ionic field]

Yeah ofc I’m just saying layout

[keen oracle]

I mean personally I prefer non-symmetrical base layouts that aren't in any kind of pattern, but if you like it that's what matters most

[gray sapphire]

Its ugly, you puted the floor thingys, they make evrything iglier

Uglier

Hmmm

Why not, why shouldnt i do this in bellow zero

But with food stops

Where i have plants planted

[pallid gyro]

ngl that sounded kinda mean

[gray sapphire]

It wasnt mean, i was mean to the floor

Beacuse its ugly

[pallid gyro]

you called the base ugly as a whole

[gray sapphire]

Ah yes

Now what am i supposed to do

I was specificly hating on a floor

[fast quest]

How harsh and unnecessary

[fierce mirage]

Survival Base Tour

Many things will change once I make the Prawn Suit and Cyclops

[pseudo rain]

very nice base 👍

[fierce mirage]

Thankyou

[rain glacier]

your locker mods are amazing lol

[fierce mirage]

They are also more efficient than the normal big lockers

so it gives even more storage space and room

But decorations mod most certainly played a roll in the making of this base lol

[rain glacier]

epikcccc

[jagged yew]

#1. They help immensely with structural integrity

#2. They give you a place to put farms outside

#3: They make your base look more realistic and less dumb.

[heady jacinth]

I often structure my bases in a square shape with the foundation on the inside, and the modules hanging off all around so from the outside, it looks like there are none there at all.

[true zealot]

egg

[mellow prawn]

How did you get the mushroom tree??

[jagged yew]

Plant a mushroom tree seed

You can also plant jellyshrooms

[fierce mirage]

The mushroom tree is from a mod

Via the seeds fabricator and the cheap cost of 10 salt deposits I was able to make one seed

[marble frigate]

Nice and clever idea with those tables! I like your base

[fierce mirage]

Thank you sir, I was inspired by the double desk design the guy who makes leviathan observation bases uses

I forgot their username but their bases are also incredible

[fierce mirage]

I think it looks nice, only thing I could recommend is making some parts move behind the entrance hatch perhaps

[coral lintel]

Hi there. I love the original Subnautica, but I prefer Subnautica: Below Zero when considering base building. Is this chat only for Subnautica bases or are Subnautica: Below Zero bases allowed as well?

[fierce mirage]

No this is for both

[coral lintel]

Ok.

[fierce mirage]

Me personally, I enjoy Subnautica base building more since it is a lot more basic and allows you to get a minor plan for each room as you go

However once the decoration mod is moved to BZ I will try and make a base there

[coral lintel]

I like Below Zero's base building because there's more options for building bases.

[fierce mirage]

I agree

[coral lintel]

I also play on PS4 though so I can't mod

[fierce mirage]

People may do this differently but when I build bases in both games I do not really plan it out (at most I will plan the biome) overall I make it up as I go and some things will just click

Large rooms are certainly a good concept for bases but the walls are what kill it for me because of how occasionally limited the options for placement are

[coral lintel]

I usually build bases designed for multiple people. It helps remind me that I need to be careful, because I'm alone in the treacherous waters of 4546B.

[fierce mirage]

I may or may not take that multiple purpose rooms into account once I get the prawn and cyclops in my Subnautica save

Because quartz is difficult to get without the Prawn Suit

[coral lintel]

I've also created cyclops docking bays (sort of) that look like a shipyard straight out of Star Trek.

[fierce mirage]

I used to do that until I started modding and I do remember the old method of a cyclops dock being expensive

[coral lintel]

Yeah.

[fierce mirage]

Like 3 lockers worth of titanium at least

[coral lintel]

I also make mine out of glass, so very difficult to acquire all of the required resources.

[fierce mirage]

I can image

Just for the windows in my base I had to take 2 real life days of quartz gathering to get enough for it and enough to save

[coral lintel]

Yeah. Usually I'll spend the entire weekend to build half of it

[fierce mirage]

I am probably going to prioritize the cyclops and prawn when I get on as those will make my life so much easier

The base I showed in the images took me about 2 and a half weeks

Both due to reorganization and resource gathering

[coral lintel]

Yeah. But once you build the cyclops, bases feel almost useless.

Ok. I have to go for now.

[narrow monolith]

+1 its symetric ❤️
+1 a lot of spaße
-1 no moonpool
-1 just one entrance

[narrow monolith]

much better

[narrow monolith]

Rate my 2 mini bases OwO I like the 1st one more, cause you can use it right at the start.

[neon island]

very nice!

this is a megabase i made in a creative save. i plan to build this or something similar to this in my survival

[wise shuttle]

I made this base in survival mode, in my favourite place on 4546B.

[sharp ginkgo]

Made some upgrades and now I just need to make my glass corridor tunnel further into the void because it reaches the void but only barely

[brazen shell]

Windows + maj + S ;)

[sharp ginkgo]

I'm on console man

[brazen shell]

oh sorry

[fierce mirage]

Interesting idea, I might use that for an outpost

[proper rover]

Nice! I like the layout.

[sour idol]

I used to do polls and ppl would answer by reacting but I have an interesting one that might make your brain hurt -
Out of all the building pieces in both subnautica games, which is the best? 🤨

[keen oracle]

Oarfish?

[fierce mirage]

Yeah

[keen oracle]

his bases are pretty epic

[strange stump]

used the Habitat Platform mod for this base.

it's sitting right at the border of the dead zone.

where it crosses where the crater is and where the void is.

here's the underside.

it has double moonpools and MP Rooms under the platform. It has a large structure there with a larger section for more MP Rooms.

[strange stump]

I'm sitting on a working spinny chair.

just watching the underwater bustle.

[flint tiger]

Imma show my base in which I just reached 60 hrs in, all survival btw

[proper rover]

My personal favourite has probably got to be the multipurpose room, and the glass dome for it

[keen oracle]

large room, 100%

there's so much space to do things with

and the glass dome is epic, I cannot make a single base in BZ without having at least 1 large room that contains a glass dome

[fast quest]

nice

looks very compact

[keen oracle]

I am a fan of compact bases

[ornate escarp]

You're epic.

[flint tiger]

Both bases on my 60 hrs survival world

[sleek yarrow]

those bases look so cool bro

[flint tiger]

Thanks

[heady jacinth]

I prefer to play on console; is there any way to upload Xbox screen shots to a PC so I can post here?

[fast quest]

xbox dvr

[proper rover]

Nice bases, really like the design. What do you use the second cyclops for? I’m curious

[flint tiger]

The one that has my first prawn is used for going to the lava zone

[strange stump]

Base 35 as seen from Base 38.

also seen in the photo is the Sea Voyager mod

[safe grove]

what a nice base, looks great

i have bad eyesight so i don't recognise anything

[strange stump]

It's fine.

I have Base 38 ready for photos.

I'll take them soon.

[flint tiger]

New BASE guys!!! I worked abt a 12 hrs on this one!

Survival

[proper rover]

Jesus

But I like the design for this one, the wall of glass tubes and then the central “hub part” with the observatories. It reminds me of a medieval castle wall/fort lmao. 12 hours well spent! 😎

[heady jacinth]

Is it possible to build bases way high off the seafloor? I'm trying to put a moonpool for the Seamoth in the cove tree chamber, but it has to be near the ceiling.

...I suppose I could put a separate base at the entrance to the chamber, and swim down to my prawn/Cyclops dock.

[waxen timber]

I think you could make a module and then using those vertical things slowly go to the top

[keen oracle]

where do you put all your reinforcements to make up for all the glass corridors lol

[flint tiger]

As you can see on the sides there are two pillars of multipurpose rooms stacked on each other, all full with reinforcements, each room also base one nuclear reactor for power

[keen oracle]

ah

[flint tiger]

Impressive right?

[keen oracle]

ye noice

[pseudo rain]

train

[grizzled panther]

you should learn how to do a screenshot haha

[flint tiger]

Kmon

[jagged yew]

i just pick one room and put a bunch of reinforcements on it when need be. Also bulkheads. They make your base nicer and add structural stability

[grizzled panther]

just positive critics! it was not meant mean

[short bobcat]

The haha emphasizes that

[grizzled panther]

sorry! I really didn't want to be mean

[kindred osprey]

Very nice, i wish i had a bade like that ngl

[kindred osprey]

Lol

[flint tiger]

Yes I’m kinda a subnautica chad

[waxen timber]

Is it possible to learn this power?

[amber surge]

I’m curious, why do you have so many tubes?

[flint tiger]

Caus cool

[radiant sorrel]

https://imgur.com/a/EbNQt

[pseudo rain]

well i mean it must be very hard to make that in SURVIVAL mode and it does look really good but it must be really weird looking indoors

[flint tiger]

Nah it’s not that weird when your indoors

[pseudo rain]

k

[flint tiger]

And yes it took 12 hrs to build

It has an interior and everything

[pseudo rain]

It's not really much, but i'm working on expanding it.

[ornate shoal]

This was my megabase in my 1st playthrough

Loads of memories in it

Full interior

And its powered by solar and nuclear energy, 3 nuclear reactors lol

[pseudo rain]

i have 9 water purifiers in my base.

gotta stay thirsty

also, here is my megabase. I'm still expanding and decorating.

[ornate shoal]

Those will eat power like CHAMPIONS lmao

[royal dirge]

got to say i prefer bases in below zer

o

[pseudo rain]

problably lol.

see the second level?

all reactors and solar panels

[heady jacinth]

I like the locations/map better in original, but the better base modules yep BZ has it

[digital sun]

Agreed

[kindred osprey]

Not enough

[jagged yew]

Incredible how machines to rearrange atoms into whatever you want takes up so little power

Then one that just filters water is a huge drain

[pallid gyro]

yup

[waxen timber]

Or how a small hand hand tool can repair mechs or small submerine, which shouldn't be hard to just stick to it so it auto repairs

Or how instead of submarines sinking electric engines just explode for some reason

[heady jacinth]

Lithium ion batteries no doubt

[royal dirge]

@heady jacinth got there ups and downs

[gaunt bough]

My huge garden in subnautica (hardcore mode$

[strange shale]

[BELOW ZERO SPOILERS] My survival base I made on top of the Mercury!

[naive vine]

work in progress base

oh and also this

[gaunt bough]

Actually doing a giga base in hardcore with much alien containment with all fish for breeding

[naive vine]

wow

[waxen timber]

That don't need lithium...

And explosion is still pretty absurd

[jagged yew]

They use organically derived electrolytes. Evidenced by the fact that they are crafted from acid shroom/ribbon plants

[astral thunder]

ggs

[pallid gyro]

that would be with regular batteries. lithium ion batteries could easily cause the explosion considering the amount of ionic energy inside them being equal to about a kilogram of TNT

[pseudo rain]

titanium ovderdose

[ornate shoal]

@pseudo rain talk about my new base

Now THATS TITANIUM OVERDOSE baby!

Its a megabase I'm working on

[strange stump]

I posted the wrong photo.

of a glitch I experienced.

[ornate shoal]

LMFAO

But ok

[jagged yew]

They dont include lithium

[strange stump]

here it is.

[ornate shoal]

WTF is that FR?

[strange stump]

I have a few mods.

[pallid gyro]

you mean lithium ion batteries?

[strange stump]

I have the building tweaks mod so I can build outside of bases with interior stuff.

[ornate shoal]

Wow, pc life

I wish I could mod on console Lol🙄

[jagged yew]

No

The subnautica batteries

[ornate shoal]

They dont have lithium mate

They have ion CUBES

[jagged yew]

Ion batteries could cause the explosion

[ornate shoal]

Yes

Ion cubes are more dangerous than lithium ion batteries

[jagged yew]

It is said that an ion cube can hold enough energy to match a kiloton of dynamite if I remember correctly

[pallid gyro]

tnt actually

[ornate shoal]

Correction, TEN kilotons

[jagged yew]

But regular power cells use organic electrolytes

[ornate shoal]

Its in the PDA

[jagged yew]

Even more dangerous

[ornate shoal]

See

[jagged yew]

Probably not enough to reach light speed but… plot holes shmot holes

[ornate shoal]

Mhm

idFk how they use only 2 ion power cells for the rocket and it still reached lightspeed lol

[jagged yew]

Ye

Even that much tnt is not going to get you that far

[pallid gyro]

probably something else in the boosters that uses the ion energy to make the booster

[ornate shoal]

Hmm, we can only speculate

[pallid gyro]

that wont even get you out of the atmosphere

[ornate shoal]

Did you know the rocket NEVER leaves the planet

The cinematic at the end of the game is just a picture/vid

Since the devs were too lazy to make the rocket launch Lmao

[jagged yew]

It took the aurora months to travel the same distance your ship goes in like presumably a few minutes

[ornate shoal]

Since its using alien tech?

[pallid gyro]

the ion boosters does that

[ornate shoal]

Thats 4 ion cubes in 2 power cells

[jagged yew]

Not lazy. Its just much more efficient than creating an entirely separate map just for a 2 minute ending cutscene

[ornate shoal]

Maybe

But good point

[jagged yew]

But subnautica is weird when it comes to quantity of resources

[ornate shoal]

Yes

[jagged yew]

It costs the same amount of titanium to make a hallway than it does to make a chair

[pallid gyro]

true

[jagged yew]

And that applies to size too

[ornate shoal]

A chair costs 1 titanium and a hallway costs 2

For me

[jagged yew]

Thats half

[pallid gyro]

what about a planter?

[jagged yew]

Of a hallway

[pallid gyro]

that takes 2 titanium at full size

[jagged yew]

An indoor planter costs twice a hallway

[ornate shoal]

4 Ti for indoor growbed, 2 Ti for each plant pot, 2 for AN exterior growbed

[ornate shoal]

Yes

[jagged yew]

Maybe the single sulfur in the ion engine does something

[pallid gyro]

science 100

[ornate shoal]

LMFAO

[jagged yew]

The only other stuff in it is a plasteel (for the structure itself) and a kyanite (probably for heat containment)

[ornate shoal]

Yes

The efforts to escape the planet in the 1st game were useless

[jagged yew]

And the boosters themselves are aerogel (probably also for heat insulation) and nickel

[ornate shoal]

You cant land on the phasegate since you have to PAY A TRILLION CREDITS

[jagged yew]

I assume ryley’s discovery of an intelligent species got him into alterra

But again…its alterra

So…

[ornate shoal]

Alterra bad

[ornate shoal]

Good theory

[pallid gyro]

agreed

[jagged yew]

Also. They evidently did build a phasegate for the ariadne arm and started sending missions to 4546b

[pallid gyro]

very possible

[jagged yew]

They wouldnt know that it is safe to go to unless Ryley told them

[ornate shoal]

Hmm

Btw, the sea emperror dying was so so sad

[jagged yew]

Considering the fact that a total of 3 ships went down on that planet, they probably wouldnt risk losing more trillion credit ships unless they knew it was safe

[ornate shoal]

Yes

[fast quest]

His PDA saw everything Ryley saw, so I'm sure they could just remotely download all the information on 4546B off of it without compensating Ryley at all

[jagged yew]

True

I dont think it recorded everything he saw

But it does apparently have a camera, microphone, and OCR sensor for scanning

Ryley wouldnt have it out and filming all the time

But the scans they can definitely access

[waxen timber]

I would say if we are counting instruments it has it's pretty absurd

[jagged yew]

Thats what the pda entry for the pda says

Plus it also appears to have a selfie camera

From the ui

[waxen timber]

It's able to detect "energy signatures", very easily determine things like geography and detect things like the alkaline thing in LR, detect a lot of leviathans from a good distance, scan though thought skin and bone without a problem, determine when Aurora explodes, and make totally new technologies etc.

YET ||sensors on ships couldn't notice the "very suspicious structure" on one of the islands||

[fast quest]

||Sunbeam wasn't Alterran though, so maybe they just didn't have sensors that were as good||

[waxen timber]

||I think that the ship was Alterra or something like that but used by other thanks gov. And you don't need any good sensors for it, it would be easy to do with our current technology and they have things like OP PDA.||

||That same ship was also able to detect potencial place for landing (and state that there is good chance they could crash on something that small) at least days before landing||

[jagged yew]

The aep suit has biometric scanners. The pda itself isnt scanning you.

None of those technologies are new. They are scanned from existing tech and the pda simply determines what is needed to make them.

The lifepod does alot of the environmental scans. It says so when you first repair the secondary systems.

Also the sunbeam did detect the qep. They straight up say they see a “building”

All of this is in lore/dialogue

[waxen timber]

Ion tech and tablets

They said building when it could be pretty much seen with naked eye just before touch down

[ocean coyote]

like one of the voice logs shows the qep was detected by scans on the aurora

[waxen timber]

And what lifepod did is pretty unimpressive, it pulled out planet from database and had 2 likes about atmosphere being breathable and water having a lot of bacteria

[jagged yew]

Were talking a race with borderline magic. They could easily hide their structures from puny human sensors

[waxen timber]

Somehow it's still visible tho

Plus there wouldn't be much reason to try to hide it in the first place

[flat umbra]

I like it

[ornate shoal]

Thanks

[stoic owl]

Me and my friend went a bit overboard, while playing nitrox.

[waxen timber]

Are you building Aurora or something?

[jagged yew]

When will you ever have that many resources

I beat the entire game on like 5 wall lockers

[keen oracle]

there is no such thing as too many lockers

2 different Cyclops' btw but they both have a lot of storage

[fast quest]

well if they're blocking your path through the room then I'd say that's too many

[stoic owl]

Lies

[ebon pumice]

How do you dock something with lockers in the loading bay

[grizzled panther]

You do not

[glad folio]

[kindred osprey]

Lmao

God dam

[ruby nebula]

My void mega base and it’s quarry wip (in creative and also using the terraforming mod)

[dusky lichen]

Noice

[ebon pumice]

Gonna start working on my cyclops

[kindred osprey]

Its time to play subnautica again boys, havent played in ages and im gona steal all ur base ideas

[pseudo rain]

best base ever

[pallid gyro]

how did you even do that

[pseudo rain]

i have no idea

[sour idol]

I’m pretty sure it’s the hologram glitches

[pseudo rain]

yea

[sour idol]

You know you see the outline of the room when you select it, maybe it stayed there and it turned into real colors and not just blue

[dusky lichen]

Is it on the switch version ?

I want to try that clitch but I play on switch

[remote quartz]

ik how and its still hard to explain

[keen oracle]

it's also possible to build two base pieces near each other but have them not count as the same base, then build extensions off both until they go through each other

like this

or this

[stoic owl]

Game broke

[waxen timber]

That looks like way of making the glitch with walking underwater or the opposite

[kindred osprey]

Why do u need it so big? Lmao

Build it somwhere else

[keen oracle]

why you responding to messages way up in the chat history lol

[fast quest]

and pinging

[thorny river]

Idk I like it

[kindred osprey]

Lmao fair enough

[kindred osprey]

Bec i went on pins

[remote quartz]

there should be a channel for awful bases or at least the glitchy ones Lol

has any one ever got their sea moth inside a large room beffor?

[static kayak]

bruh I asked that over 2 years ago

thanks for the advice though I’ll take it into consideration

[kindred osprey]

Lol idc

[kindred osprey]

Np lmao

[remote quartz]

lol

[pseudo rain]

You still have that base?

[kindred osprey]

Lol good question

[kindred osprey]

Do u still have that base?

If so screenshot?

[pseudo rain]

Yeah 2 years and he still has that base

Or even that save

Weird

[static kayak]

Nah i was joking idk if i even have the save anymore

[pseudo rain]

Damn

make mew base somewhere else

[fast quest]

I have all my bases from 2 years ago when I started the game

[rugged prism]

work-in-progress secondary base powered by the thermal vents that are down there

mainly built because my current solar-powered base does not have enough power production for things like water filtration

and the moonpool means it is a good place to deposit any resources i gather down there

[ebon pumice]

Here's the inside of my cyclops so far

Working on making it fully ion power and adding lots of storage

Also gonna make a little rec room kinda area with the coffee and vending machines.

[terse rapids]

very cool markplier statue?

also what plant is that

on the right

[fast quest]

voxel shrub

[ebon pumice]

There's a lifepod in the crag fields and it has it in it

I'm going go cover the table with them

[keen oracle]

that just gave me an idea

[ebon pumice]

Fill an entire base

[teal kettle]

very cool bases

[terse rapids]

lifepod in crag feilds?

never knew one existed there

[ebon pumice]

It doesn't have a beacon

It's a secret one

There was a pda too I forgot to look at it

I'll do that now

[ebon pumice]

Mark is also my copilot

[terse rapids]

:O

also what is craig feilds

[ebon pumice]

Do you know where the sparse reef is?

Or grand reef?

[terse rapids]

idk what that is but i know where grand reef is

[ebon pumice]

You know all the rock spires and stuff right before you get to the grand reef?

[terse rapids]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

imma just check that later

[ebon pumice]

Well when you find those, follow along them to the left.

(South)

This is what the crag field looks like

Anyways search between the rocks and you'll find a lifepod

[terse rapids]

cool

is that a boneshark?

[ebon pumice]

Yeah

They're all over

[terse rapids]

damn

i hope they die fast to prawn suit

or seamoth torpedoes

[ebon pumice]

If you get the stuff quickly and get out they don't do much damage

I got in and picked everything up quickly and they got my seamoth down to 60hp

[terse rapids]

last time i left a seamoth near some bone sharks returned like 5 mins later and the seamoth was at 40% repair

[ebon pumice]

I also went back down but left my seamoth near the surface and just swan down and they didn't touch it

It's only like 170m down

[terse rapids]

alr im going to try that

[ebon pumice]

Here's my mostly finished cyclops

Probably gonna add more planets, and work on the lower level. Then I still need to replace 3 of the power cells with ion power cells.

[pseudo rain]

Holy crap that’s a lot of markiplier figures lol

I’ve still never been able to even find one

[jagged yew]

Hey devs could we get a jukebox in og subnautica?

[keen oracle]

once you scan the one, you can build as many as you want

[waxen timber]

It also allows you to turn glass into titanium

[ebon pumice]

[rustic bison]

all hail mark

[pseudo rain]

No matter where I look I can't find the lifepod! i've done multiple runs and spent hours looking in the area.

[keen oracle]

it's in the Crag Field

Lifepod 7

[pseudo rain]

i got sick of my second below zero run so i'm going back to the OG to see where I left off.

[pseudo rain]

ye ik. just cant ever find it when I look.

[fast quest]

it should be directly south of Lifepod 3 somewhere, just move until 3 is directly north of you and then look north or south along that line

[keen oracle]

it can be hard to locate

should move to #subnautica-chat

[pseudo rain]

yeppers

[toxic harness]

what mod is this from?

[ebon pumice]

It's not a mod

It's a secret item you can find

There is a secret lifepod in the crag fields which has it inside

And a few other little decorations

[waxen timber]

How is that lifepod a secret?

[kindred osprey]

Im guessing ur gona add more storage?

And why so many markipliers LMAO

[kindred osprey]

Its not it pops up on the pda im pretty sure

[kindred osprey]

I used thermal plants before but i could never get enough power? How many do u have?

[kindred osprey]

Lmao how? Lol

[kindred osprey]

Add some spotlights that would make it super cool

[rugged prism]

like 3

i still wanna add more because currently it can only run two water filtration machines with the moon pool

at some point i wanna add even more filtration machines but I'd rather not rely on bioreactors or nuclear power

but I'm running out of rubies so Imma have to get more of those before I can build more thermal plants

[kindred osprey]

2! Thats way to many ngl

[kindred osprey]

Nuclear is good tho?

[rugged prism]

never enough water

[kindred osprey]

In my opinion best power source

[kindred osprey]

Wat? Do u not have plants?

[rugged prism]

non renewable and requires traveling places and touching grass

[rugged prism]

i do but four large filtered water bottles is much more space efficient than one marblemelon

[kindred osprey]

Lol just build a base in lost river

[rugged prism]

some day i will

[kindred osprey]

Just eat before leaving ur base so ur bars are full then u wont even need water?

[kindred osprey]

Are u late game?

[rugged prism]

tho i gotta figure out why my prawn is bugged

[kindred osprey]

Wats happening to it?

[rugged prism]

in this playthrough not quite, fixed aurora and have cyclops

[kindred osprey]

So sorta late game

[rugged prism]

sometimes it randomly loses all of its upgrade slots

not the upgrade modules, the slots themselves entirely disappear

there is no explanation as to why

[kindred osprey]

Just dont make ur base rn really good bec its a waste of time just keep it small until u get to the lost river

[rugged prism]

i can't put upgrades on my prawn unless i wanna risk them ceasing to exist randomly

[kindred osprey]

Just scavenge anything u can from it and drop the emtpy prawn suit into the dunes for fun

And make a new one

[rugged prism]

and i'm not sure but there seems to be either a causation or correlation between the prawns issues and the cyclops docking bay

[kindred osprey]

Well idk maybe the save is glitchy

[rugged prism]

it has qmodloader

and just a Manage Creature Spawns mod but nothing that should affect prawn

[kindred osprey]

Ok well idk gl ig

[rugged prism]

i need insurance on those upgrades

[kindred osprey]

Lmao

[rugged prism]

also the issue always comes when for some reason the prawn suit is misaligned in the cyclops docking bay

again idk if correlation or causation but the two things are definitely connected somehow

completely random and possibly incorrect theory: the game can't agree with itself whether the prawn is docked or not and when you try to access the terminal in the cyclops to see the upgrades it thinks there are no upgrades because it might think nothing is docked but it is docked so it messes up the prawn's upgrades

[ornate shoal]

Hate those, they eat power like champions lmfao

[remote quartz]

wait do they?! no wonder my base keeps having a rave party

lol

[ornate shoal]

Yes

I did that and died in my base because it was nightime, solar panels were not powered and they drained it in seconds

I died in my OWN BASE

🤣

[remote quartz]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/904147996143403098/905967111040557066/CAADAQAD9BAAAiPdEAbW7_C5E9xlHxYE.webp?width=300&height=300

[kindred osprey]

Lmao ye there kinda bad but cool

[ornate shoal]

Yep

Thats why I powered my base with ALL of the power options for maximum efficiency and ZERO chance of power dropping to zero

[kindred osprey]

LMAO

[pseudo rain]

My base had 8 solar panels and 5 spotlights and I never ran outta power

[keen oracle]

that's why I only put 4 floodlights on this base even though I had 3 nuclear reactors, 2 bioreactors and 6 thermal plants powering it

4 was just the right amount so that the power fluctuated slightly but didn't go down

[kindred osprey]

Did u have a water fultration?

[kindred osprey]

THE HELL why so much power u only need like 1 nuclear reactor

[pseudo rain]

How the hell do you find the resources for that?!!

[pseudo rain]

Toasted yes

[keen oracle]

a lot of time spent collecting metal salvage and drilling large resource deposits of various kinds, it's actually not that bad once you get into it

it really helps to have a Cyclops with a big storage onboard

that way you can go around and collect resources with the Prawn, store them in the Cyclops, move the Cyclops to a new location, repeat
then once you're full you just move the whole Cyclops over to where you wanna build the base and start building

[jagged yew]

Just run them off a nuke reactor and ur good

One set of rods will last you long enough to complete the game twice

[delicate ember]

someone should make a tower base out of the water by stacking multipurpose rooms on top of eachother, and keep doing so until you reach the skybox

[tardy hedge]

@plain ridge

[glad folio]

<@&85343211593166848>

very nsfw

[remote quartz]

what was the thing?

was it a falaked shaped base?

[glad folio]

no

[kindred osprey]

Idk wat he is thinking lmao

[kindred osprey]

Lol did he get banned?

Wat was it as well?

[kindred osprey]

The real question is, is there a skybox?

Lol

[glad folio]

idk, prolly. i also cant say

[kindred osprey]

Prolly lmao thats word of the day now and by the sounds of it maybe d?

[glad folio]

possibly

[delicate ember]

thats why i’m challenging sineone to tgat

the thing is, there is a max depth, so there must be a max height

[kindred osprey]

Lol there has to be a max height in games

There hast to be

[delicate ember]

just if it goes past what anyone has patience to do is the qusetion

[wispy osprey]

i'm pretty sure that that whenever u go 8 thousand something meters in any direction from the lifepod then u just respawn at the lifepod

[jagged yew]

Yes but its likely ridiculously massive and way out of reach of the player.

The size of the sunbeam model is close to the aurora, its just far away. Just to put size into perspective

[keen oracle]

I did actually do that in an old survival save, I didn't get anywhere near the skybox though which I believe is 8192 m above the surface
I reached about 850 m before my game started lagging really bad and at that point I cut it down to 500 m and made a base on top

[delicate ember]

keep going

[keen oracle]

this was the base on top which was mostly finished when I lost my save

[delicate ember]

i think you may only be 7.5k meters away

[keen oracle]

that save got deleted so yeah

[delicate ember]

oh

well then

[keen oracle]

however I did make another tower in a save I still have, got up to 1 km this time using vertical connectors instead of multipurpose rooms which was a lot smarter since they both don't cause nearly as much lag and also are only a 4th of the cost

lemme see where the screenshots are

ah here we go

hard to see but that beacon says 1003 m, it's placed down on some foundations at sea level

[heady jacinth]

You must try the high dive at least once...

[keen oracle]

oh yeah I've done that a few times xD

something interesting, it hit me that with a setup like this, I could actually time my fall and since I have the height, I could calculate the acceleration due to gravity on 4546B, I might make a video on that

[pine thicket]

Well, that would depend on if the game has a terminal velocity for the player and what it is if it does
Since it’s almost certainly not simulating air resistance, terminal velocity would either be set at an arbitrary value or it could simply be uncapped
If it is uncapped, you could do the math pretty easily, but I imagine there’s probably a safeguard against infinite speed, even if it would be impractical to achieve

There’s also the possibility that the simulated acceleration due to gravity isn’t constant, which is also unlikely, but would be very tedious to determine with certainty that it isn’t

[daring badge]

I made backrooms on switch but I can't show the pics also I'm sad we can't colour the interior

[hardy fern]

or exterior

they should add paintgun

underworld fix

[daring badge]

I did it in bz so exterior was fine

[hardy fern]

in the main game

[daring badge]

Yeah

[hardy fern]

like the way we can paint vehicles

[kindred osprey]

Lmao

[kindred osprey]

When u go deep enough in the void u respawn at the safe shallows ye

[kindred osprey]

Well that seems like a challenge lol

[jagged yew]

I mean its way outside the map

There is no feasible way to come even close to it ingame

Thats usually how skyboxes are

[keen oracle]

well if you can manage to build something 8192 m up in the air then you've reached it

[proven onyx]

do it, i triple dog dare you

[kindred osprey]

Still seems like a challenge lmao

[kindred osprey]

Lol

[kindred osprey]

Im not gona do it but still is a challenge

[proven onyx]

i just wanna know the acceleration due to gravity on 4546B

and the terminal velocity

[glad folio]

its probably just the same as earth

[proven onyx]

yeah but i like nerdy stuff like a game's acceleration due to gravity

[jagged yew]

I mean usually the physical map is about .1% the size of the skybox

Skyboxes are normally absolutely enormous

[waxen timber]

It could also be sort of "attached" to the player(but taking into account where player is pointing and stuff) like planet during launch sequence

[soft grove]

You can look in the game code to find gravity. Odds are it’s just 9.81 m/s/s

[kindred osprey]

Oh well still challenge lol

[kindred osprey]

Ik but its still posible to get to it

[jagged yew]

Usually skyboxes are more so absolutely indescribably gigantic domes that encapsulate everything that possibly can be rendered in by the game.

[waxen timber]

Void(going down) at some point teleport you to 0/0/0 so I assume it's same for all directions

[bleak ledge]

so I did a thing

[glad meteor]

Someone should make a base around the ghost tree, that would look amazing

[tardy hedge]

I have one next to it but not around it

[hardy fern]

great now i know how i want my lost river base to look

[bronze sundial]

please tell me that it is on a creative save file...?

[fast quest]

wdym

[fierce mirage]

New objective: Create a satanic cult room for the Markiplier doll

[fierce mirage]

Well I tend to overstock on materials typically hard to get even if I need a few of it, mainly because I like to build multiple backup modules in case something bad happens

[kindred osprey]

Is that the tree in the lost river? If so a lot of people build there including me

[glad meteor]

I mean a ring around it

[kindred osprey]

Oh well im pretty sure someone has done that and if not i will

[proven onyx]

i now know what i have to do

i have One Shot

[timid thistle]

yes

[crude dragon]

How do u do this

[timid thistle]

im gonna do an office building in the future

[proven onyx]

the conclusion was dissapointing

[keen oracle]

lol, Subnautica physics for you

[hasty sluice]

My man didn’t die from that fall

Imagine

[keen oracle]

you know what's funnier

you can fall from over a quarter of a kilometer, land on a foundation, and still not die somehow

[hasty sluice]

What

God damn

[keen oracle]

Riley must have leg bones made of out whatever the Precursors use to make their bases

[hasty sluice]

Bro never skipped leg day

[torn phoenix]

How do you build something that tall?

Its crazy

[jagged yew]

Videogame physics

Water absorbs all impact in every game

[crude dragon]

How did u build this

[waxen timber]

KSP community would like to disagree

[balmy mirage]

how do you get back up?

[balmy mirage]

ya, Minecraft, Subnautica, Subnautica below zero etc

[waxen timber]

I think he might use alien containment to get up

[keen oracle]

ladder

they're all vertical connectors

[waxen timber]

... or just that

But how did you build it?

[keen oracle]

I start with 2 compartments next to each other, then I build up 2 vertical connectors on one while standing on the other (I also deconstruct that other one and replace it with a connector), put a compartment on top of that and stick a hatch in it, jump up and enter the hatch, deconstruct it and place it again in the ceiling of the compartment, exit that so I'm on top then deconstruct the hatch again, then I deconstruct the compartment 2 connectors below me I used for scaffolding and put it next to the one I'm on so I have 2 side by side again, then repeat the whole process

it may seem slow but I think it's the best way to do it, I was able to get up to 1 km in only a couple hours iirc

[surreal whale]

Nice

[jagged yew]

Oh you are barely scratching the surface

[proven onyx]

This feels nostalgic to me. It's a recreation of one of the rooms i built on my first base in my first playthhrough.

all walls are wall planters, with a big sign saying "HALL OF MARBLEMELON," and a bunch of planters and growbeds filled to the brim with marblemelon

[balmy mirage]

yeah

[timid thistle]

This is a picture from a year ago (2021)

[inland gazelle]

That's really cool

Is the purple a mod?

[fast quest]

yes but I'm not sure which one

[timid thistle]

yea

[timid thistle]

the control base panel

[arctic coyote]

You should be able to choose base colour

And lighting colour and brightness

[short bobcat]

Base color is in bz

[timid thistle]

i deleted the mod anyway

Ignore the floating seamoth. This is basically a building that i just build its called 4546B HQ.

I deleted the world that had this building , and it was never meant to show it to you guys but i changed my option.

[arctic coyote]

Oh that’s really cool, building on a Neptune launch platform

[ornate escarp]

Nope... that's a mod. The Habitat Platform.

[fast quest]

not for the interior

[vast hull]

I rlly need base ideas for someone who wants to get out of shallows but still needs to be in like the red grass or grassy plateaus idk what it's called, but I need room for moonpool

[vast hull]

All b4 sunbeam

[keen oracle]

if you want some inspiration, here's a small base I made in the Plateaus

[vast hull]

Wow looks v cool

[keen oracle]

thanks 😄

[vast hull]

Does the location have much of an impact

[keen oracle]

not really

well sort of

cause I use solar panels so you'd want to make sure it's shallow enough

[waxen timber]

That's interesting, instead of going mostly horizontal it's mostly vertical

[vast hull]

What's accessible to you close by at that area, I have an area in mind but I just wanna know

[vast hull]

Yea

[keen oracle]

yeah I got bored of horizontal bases pretty fast since that's all I ever saw everywhere, so I wanted to try something more unique and it turned out really well

[lament niche]

Yea

[vast hull]

I was still in my pod lol

[lament niche]

Damn

[vast hull]

Only because I'm a bad builder so I didn't know what to build

[kindred osprey]

Build on one of the spire things

[vast hull]

I did that b4, my base looked kinda boring tbh, I don't have a pic, but it's just a central room and a moonpool. I don't have much inspiration for good build lol

[kindred osprey]

Build in the bulb zone, lava zone, blood kelp zone or under the floating islands

[vast hull]

Ok. Any tips for the actual structure?

[kindred osprey]

Oh emm just try to make it as efficient as possible and have things as close as possible with multiple layers, most bases turn out cool if u just keep adding to them

[vast hull]

Oh ok cool

[kindred osprey]

Or just get better

[vast hull]

You really felt the need to add that?

[fast quest]

no u

[vast hull]

You think newer players are below you?

Have respect

[kindred osprey]

Ye i really did lol

[kindred osprey]

Nah no u

[fast quest]

status checks out

[kindred osprey]

Lol

[kindred osprey]

Wat that im a sped well if so true lol

Lmao

[vast hull]

Dudes personality is inspiring people to improve

[kindred osprey]

Exactly

[fast quest]

did he fr change his about me just now

[kindred osprey]

Im built different

[kindred osprey]

Mine?

[vast hull]

Hmm

[kindred osprey]

If its mine ur talking about ive had mine for AGES

[torn phoenix]

Biological Research based off the Alterra bases in-game (potential spoilers from posters)

[whole sable]

Yo, wouldn’t it be cool if we had more large/multipurpose room types in base game subnautica? I mean I know there’s already mods and stuff for it, but I’d like to see something like a moon pool room without a moon pool or like a large octagonal room with (let’s say hypothetically) four corner walls with two flat walls in between each and four centerpiece squares

Idk, just seems like a cool thing I’d want to see in subnautica

[torn phoenix]

Yeah maybe the small benches too

In both games

[jagged yew]

Wdym moonpool with no pool

Thats just a smaller large mp room

[tardy hedge]

my base so far

[agile crater]

yeah like the medium room that are in some bases

like the middle room in Marguerit's base

I think it'd also be cool to be able to connect your aquarium to the outside. basically make a multi room hollow

like a donut

or like the seatruck aquarium module but for your wall

so it would suck fishies up

[heady jacinth]

Or an exterior pen, like you fence off an area of ocean. Like, the inner aquarium is for small fish or hatching large ones, and big pen for holding large animals...

[agile crater]

yeah chelicerate farm

sell chelicerate milk to alterra or the architects

[ornate shoal]

WTF?! How do you milk the chelicerate leviathans? You know what? I dont even wanna know💀🤣

[torn phoenix]

Kill the chelicerate first.

Use thermo knife

[agile crater]

yellow milk

[waxen timber]

Maybe it's a bit similar to platypus

[ruby nebula]

We have multipurpose room glass windows glass dome now all we need is glass floor

[waxen timber]

Or no floors

[hidden ridge]

Here, have a sneek peak to project DUNES.

[hidden ridge]

what do you guys think?

[tired pagoda]

Looks nice

[jagged yew]

I think being able to vertically connect mp rooms would be cool. So you can have a single tower-like structure that is all one single room

[keen oracle]

yeah I wish there was a way to make it so that when you stack multipurpose rooms it removes the floors

but the floors would be kept by default

[kindred osprey]

I tried to build in the dunes and it ended horribly

Lol

[jagged yew]

Honestly more than anything I want the below zero base parts in the original

[waxen timber]

It wouldn't be that easy if they were to be in survival

[pseudo rain]

can someone show me a crazy good interior for subnautica

so i can copy

[jagged yew]

Why

Subnautica has just as many resources as below zero

If not more

And if they can be implemented in bz, they definitely can in the original with some minor work

The games run the same engine. Below zero’s base code is identical to subnautica’s

[waxen timber]

How would you get the blueprints?

[kindred osprey]

Ye that would be cool

[wild otter]

i miss playing non stop subnautic

a

[hidden ridge]

look at this lads

just north of project dunes

Hell yeah

[balmy mirage]

so cute!

[opal talon]

:o

that base looks cool

[wide zinc]

Ain’t he a cuttie

[vast hull]

After exploring the shallows, kelp forest, some grassy plateau and some mushroom biome, what do I do next

[split apex]

Look for openings in the ground and explore those deeper caves.

[vast hull]

Oh already? Nice

So I should prob go find the || degasi base ||

[vast hull]

Wait I'm in the wrong channel

[split apex]

Your right I forgot about that you will need things there.

[pseudo rain]

Sub

[proper rover]

Hi spectral

Haven’t seen you in ages

[pseudo rain]

Helo

[proper rover]

👋

What do you think of da base?

[delicate leaf]

awesome I must say

[proper rover]

Thank you! Once I get round to mining more titanium, I’ll add more planters etc.

Outside:

[delicate leaf]

ur base is awesome

I love the degasi recreation

well the kind of degasi recreation

[proper rover]

Ty! Yeah, I liked the above water base idea, but I wanted to have an observation area under water

Another base I’m working on, more windows to come, I’ll depart for a farming trip soon.

Finshed base^

[pseudo rain]

more wildlife than I have ever seen in MY life :o

[pseudo rain]

how you make a blue base

[proper rover]

It’s not exactly blue-just the reflection of the ambient water colour and pools of blue brine

[proper rover]

Lmao

[delicate leaf]

another awesome bases how do you do it???

[pseudo rain]

no touch grass

[delicate leaf]

that works yep

I have to touch grass as I have to go to school 😦

luckily nearing final years of my degree

of completing high school

[pseudo rain]

im going to highchool next year

kinda nervous

[delicate leaf]

it's slightly stressful but you get used to it

I once fell asleep on my bus going to high school

ended up on the other side of my city

[pseudo rain]

💀

[delicate leaf]

that was embaressing

[pseudo rain]

yeah lol

[delicate leaf]

but yeah you get used to it you make good friends and life is just fun overall

but you never NEVER get used to falling asleep on the bus

[proper rover]

First, find a nice, flat place to build, with nice views. Or you could bridge two parts of a base across a gap.
Second, build the basic layout. You could draw up some layouts and then see how they look in-game. You could use foundations or a simple layout of rooms to expand on, or make a moonpool your centre point.
Third, start expanding on the existing layer. You could make it symmetrical, or have it branch off into different clusters if rooms. Make sure to add plenty of bulkheads, and distribute the reinforcements evenly everywhere-too many on one piece looks ugly.
Fourthly, add windows. Lots of windows, and add a scanner room and multiple observotaries-with spotlights on top. Add plenty of outdoor growbeds with plants outside windows, and add spotlights around the whole thing.
Fifth, make a power source. You could use thermal plants if near a vent, but best option is a nuclear reactor.
Sixth, start the interior design. Vary the rooms, and not all have to be functional. Remember, you don’t want empty spaces, but you don’t want cluttery either. You could have a lab room with microscopes etc.
Seventh, place planters everywhere. I mean everywhere. Vary the stuff you plant in them, and add a healthy dose of posters, signs and pictures. You name it.

It helps to have a cyclops full of resources near at hand, and a prawn to mine large resource nodes. Stock up on large waters and nutrient blocks, you’re gonna need them. And put on extended abandon ship lmao

Sorry for the arduous essay and lengthy typing time😂😂

To help with storage, building a temporary room near the base is a good idea. During mining trips I often have a youtube video running while I drill away :3

[molten dawn]

yes all the lockers are full with penglins

[proper rover]

Noice

[proper rover]

I’m not saying you’re right, but I get it lmao

[molten dawn]

yes broken english les goooo xD

[proper rover]

Lol

[still terrace]

bro im so sad that the big rooms form below zero arent in base games

[molten dawn]

ye

[delicate leaf]

this is actually very helpful I look at tutorials but half of it is always make sure to like and subscribe

[tardy hedge]

Is your cyclops docked to your base

[tardy hedge]

I always make certain rooms with all 8 reinforcements, ig it depends what is inside

[jagged yew]

I usually surround my reactor rooms with reinforcements. It gives a feeling of powerful industrial-ness to the room with the big dangerous atom splitting machine.

[proper rover]

Nope

[glass scroll]

normal room

[delicate leaf]

that's nice

[proper rover]

I love these rooms! You’ve perfectly balanced the amount of furniture to make it look great

[glass scroll]

sarcasm detector going through the roof

[proper rover]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[glass scroll]

error sarcasm detector overload

[proper rover]

sure I’ll just say its bad

[glass scroll]

lol

should i make my IRL room when i find some titanium to do it?

-cough-

[waxen timber]

?

[proper rover]

That sounds cool

[timid thistle]

Damn thats cool!

[tardy hedge]

What it looked like before

[molten dawn]

Thx

[vast hull]

Looks awesome

[tardy hedge]

Thanks

[proper rover]

brilliant

[proper rover]

Noice

[tardy hedge]

Came a long way

[proper rover]

Yeah I love seeing before-after base pictures

It really makes the improvements stick out

[tardy hedge]

Yeah I’m proud of how it came out

[kindred osprey]

Perfect base?

[tardy hedge]

has everything i need so i would say so

[proper rover]

I’ve also got a base there-pretty much exactly where your one is

[tardy hedge]

its a great location

[proper rover]

Yeah I love seeing the ghostrays swimming around the tree

[kindred osprey]

Very noice

[jagged yew]

He means recreating his actual room

[jagged yew]

No. Put 2 moonpools

[tardy hedge]

Decided not too cause it’s below the seamoth crush limit

And I like barely use my seamoth in lost river

[jagged yew]

You can get a seamoth down there

[stuck gust]

Seamoth maximum crush depth is 900m with vanilla depth modules. You can't get past the Ghost Cove, but you can get to the cove

[waxen timber]

I was more asking about the image

[kindred osprey]

Ye there isnt a reason for 2 moonpools

U can put the prawn suit in the cyclops and then if u cab get the seamoth down there u can lut the seamoth in the moonpool

[ornate shoal]

My megabase in progress guys😀

Its in Below Zero

[proper rover]

Base I’ve been working on. Nowhere near finished

[tardy hedge]

what are you gonna fill all the rooms with

[opal talon]

who needs filled rooms when it looks epic on the outside?

[proper rover]

I’ve got a few ideas…

[proper rover]

I’m gonna have some alien containments and greenhouse towers

I’ve already put in some custom rooms

Like a disease research rooms with aquariums and equipment looking at infected fish

[waxen timber]

Now when I think about it

I should probably collect some before ||I cure the thing||

[tardy hedge]

i shoudlve done that

[proper rover]

Nah ||infected|| fish still exist in some areas

[proper rover]

[kindred osprey]

The truest thing ive ever read

[kindred osprey]

They do in the safe shallows i think

[heady jacinth]

Y'know what I want? A large room/moonpool combo. Like, three versions.
A) a double docking bay with two slots for prawn and seamoth/seatruck.

B) a single large bay which can hold the seatruck with a few attached modules longwise

C) a single bay moonpool one end, and empty room at the other. For simple, one module bases.

[tardy hedge]

I’d like that like a larger moon pool with space on the sides for stuff

PROJECT DUNES

[heady jacinth]

The problem with the Cuddlefish is they made no way to take him with us.

I only hatched one once, and I've never launched the rocket in that file 😭

[jagged yew]

I managed to glitch it into my cyclops

Then proceeded to get it out with a repulsion cannon

Still dont know where it went

You could maybe somehow do the same with a rocket

[heady jacinth]

Nope. Me and Sparky, hanging out in a hab on the Floating Island and watching the emp babies grow up.

[tardy hedge]

now i have mods to let my seamoth go that deep i actually have reason for 2 moonpools, so where should i put it?

i was thinking just next to my other moonpool but i want some feedback

or i could put it like here

[simple elm]

yes

that works

it seems cooler

[tardy hedge]

yes

[tardy hedge]

i deided to move it here

bit of a hassle having to redesign part of it

only downside is the only way to access the upper levels of that central thing is to have to go to the hallway and climb that ladder

[simple elm]

cool

[hidden ridge]

hello chat

[hidden ridge]

how did the guy in lifepod 7 die?

Did the fabricator blow up or something?

[waxen timber]

I think it might be the "big ol' fish"

Ok wrong lifepod

[heady jacinth]

My Cove Tree base has a small "waystation" base at the Lost River entrance for my Seamoth, and a larger facility deeper in which I just free-swim to. Once I get the Cyclops down there, I never bring it back up again.

[proper rover]

Update: added a little observatory layout to the top and did a room-plants for the planters are coming next

It took ages because at first I wanted to have a multi room, but glitched supports would always spawn in so I gave up and did this. It actually turned out a lot better than I thought

[pseudo rain]

looks awesome!

[waxen timber]

I had to wait for salt so I made more than 6 fuel cells

[kindred osprey]

A small price to pay for the look also is that ghost leviathan? Lol

[tardy hedge]

No a ghost ray

Yeah it looks great

[tardy hedge]

That’s cool how do you have like glass at the end of the hallways or is that just a vanilla feature I never knew about

[waxen timber]

Those are windows

[tardy hedge]

Never knew you could put it at the end of a hallway

Like to make the little rounded window thing

[proper rover]

Yeah it’s a vanilla feature-it’s a pretty inconspicuous one tho. Best thing is that you can walk into the window and have a full uninterrupted panoramic view xD

[kindred osprey]

Sadly lol

[kindred osprey]

It really does

[proper rover]

Agreed.

[opal talon]

you may think i'm a terrible person but i stuffed a cuddlefish from my alien containment in a time capsule so who ever finds it gets a buddy :D

so that is how i took one with me

sorta

[heady jacinth]

I'm down with that... didn't know you could put him back in inventory

[opal talon]

you cant i picked it up from the alien containment not outside

[tardy hedge]

Mine just swims around inside my base

[pseudo rain]

Should I start working on a megabase in below zero or subnautica? I usually make functional bases in below zero so I don't know if I should continue that or do something different

[tardy hedge]

there are only 5

[jagged yew]

Bz is objectively superior for base building…at least until they add large rooms and glass roofs to og subnautica…please.

[fast quest]

I would fr pay for a dlc that added Below Zero base stuff to the original

[jagged yew]

I saw an early concept of a seatruck moonpool that could pull in trailer modules too. So they are still working on additions

[pseudo rain]

I thought so as well. Below zero has a lot more design options which is why I usually build on below zero

[pseudo rain]

Create a large water filtration plant

and then create a large power grid

And then create a city

[jagged yew]

Then bury your pc

[glass scroll]

like my base?

[glass scroll]

reactor room

[proper rover]

That looks sick!!!

[pseudo rain]

On the topic of reactor rooms, here's my reactor room I made in a creative world as the beginnings of a mega base project I'm working on

[proper rover]

Noice!!!

[pseudo rain]

I have a plan for a large city build. Basically I'll have 3 research sectors, 3 utility sectors, and 1 main city. The reactor room I showed is for sector 1. For utility I'll have a water filtration plant, a greenhouse, and a nuclear power plant

And the main city will be somewhat near Delta Island

The utilities will need to be close to the city though so I'll have to repurpose Delta island for power and the greenhouse

[proper rover]

Sounds epic!

[pseudo rain]

I play on switch so it sounds very laggy to me

[proper rover]

Same here, I bet you’ll have like 10 second lag after building something

Here’s an interior update btw. Plants are still to come in some places.

[pseudo rain]

Nice

[proper rover]

Thanks!

[pseudo rain]

Quick question, are the marblemelons only found in marguriets green house?

[proper rover]

Yes, only there

[pseudo rain]

I was hoping to use them in plant shelves as decoration and have been struggling to find them

Ah okay

Thanks

[proper rover]

They might be somewhere else but if that’s the case I haven’t found them lol
