[quick apex]

What biome is the tree?

[worldly wind]

||lost river||

[quick apex]

I can spend more abd I have a worse base.

[quick apex]

Okay.

Thank you.

[worldly wind]

your welcome

[ornate shoal]

Pog

[storm lion]

how did you get the below zero base parts??

mod?

(please link oh my god i need)

[worthy tusk]

Probably beta version on steam.

[storm lion]

||ghost cove|| and cyclops are subnautica, and the large rooms along with the glass dome on one of the rooms is below zero

i think its a mod

[worthy tusk]

Yes, and the large rooms and glass domes are being backported to subnautica.

Currently only available from the beta version, but I haven't checked any mods.

[timid thistle]

Its a version not mod

[calm raptor]

Hi everyone! Is there any word on when these new pieces (large room, etc.) might move from beta to the regular game?

[soft veldt]

we dont know that, the beta is simply for testing, they could only put some things in

[worthy tusk]

Some things... like the large room and glass domes?

[rain stone]

Huh?

[rain stone]

a base in reaperland?

smart but crazy

[pseudo rain]

Probably have to use silent running to get out of there

[worthy tusk]

You haven't seen crazy until you've seen what drip leviathan has done.

[pseudo rain]

leviathan: Bonjour

[chrome willow]

where should i build a base

i need big open space and no reapers or ghosts

[fast quest]

Grassy Plateaus

[chrome willow]

in creative

i want to make a megabase

somewhere like cove tree except i alr did that

[worthy tusk]

Grassy Plateaus

[chrome willow]

k

[pseudo rain]

oh

[bronze thistle]

He is my friend

I also spawned him 5 friends

[wispy osprey]

if u want some cool places that are relatively safe, i would recommend the sparse reef, and if you're feeling adventurous you could try and build a base on the edge of the blood kelp trench near the sparse reef or the grassy plateaus. warpers are scary but a good repulsion cannon or a well placed torpedo should take care of them

[ebon pumice]

No way a fellow sea pickle owner!

What is your's named

[pallid gyro]

nice cyclops dock

[spring sequoia]

damn

[worthy tusk]

Unless you've gone absolutely ballistic with mods, this ain't subnautica.

[thorny ridge]

oh sorry

I thought I posted it in #memes-and-media

[cyan thorn]

Imagine if you had an exploded cyclops on some platforms for a base display

[rose flume]

You mean this?

@cyan thorn ^

[lime marsh]

lovely little rocket

Oh and also i flung my cyclops to get up here

[pseudo rain]

Dude, how?

[lime marsh]

I flung my cyclops and got lucky with the angle

If youre wondering how i flung it well...

I ran into a closing door

[pseudo rain]

Ah, yes. The classic, game-breaking method.
Should have guessed that.

[pseudo rain]

w-why do you have two cyclops

[proper rover]

R E S O U R C E S

[pseudo rain]

why not?

so when you have two cyclops

do they become a biclops?

[pseudo rain]

yes

[heady jacinth]

I had two cyclops one PT. One was configured for near-surface ops carrying a Seamoth, the other for LR/LZ and carrying a Prawn.

[pseudo rain]

made it in creative

[lime marsh]

My cyclops, but better

Also signs are really cool now that you think about it

[pseudo rain]

hello from a long time

Flooded outpost

[lime marsh]

Bro thats such a cool custom structure

If it even is one, that is

Wich biome is it in?

[fast quest]

Looks like northern Blood Kelp Zone

[pseudo rain]

Yeh it's northern blood kelp

[jagged yew]

Its not modded if thats what you mean. He just wrecked a cyclops there

[pseudo rain]

Yeh

Can't mod subnautica on switch

[pseudo rain]

A broken cyclops stays in place forever?

[pseudo rain]

Yeh I'm pretty sure

Hasn't gone away at all since I placed it

[pseudo rain]

Kinda neat

I did use CC though so I'm not sure if it'll work legitimately

[jagged yew]

Yeah stuff doesnt despawn really in subnautica

I dropped something in the aurora at the near-start of the game and picked it up again when I revisited it like 10 hours later after having explored the whole map.

[spring sequoia]

damn
i wish i had that many plants

[heady jacinth]

I wish the creepvine grew to the size you find it in the wild. I want to make a camouflaged base hidden as a kelp patch.

[analog hemlock]

That would be really cool

Keep in mind I made this in creative though, I don’t have the patience to do it in survival

I had made a previous one, but I lost it when I had to switch consoles

[worthy tusk]

That's a lot of creepvine. Do you have it for the lighting?

[rose flume]

How much fps does your game run at with so many of them 😆

[worthy tusk]

I can't imagine it's that bad. The game has to deal with whole kelp forests too.

[rose flume]

The Kelp Forest doesn't have a million lights next to each other though xD

They are definitely a lot more spread out than this.

[analog hemlock]

Yes

[worthy tusk]

Nice.

[manic lynx]

No pro is a pro without a lost river base

[pseudo rain]

I just had a idea for a large base in sn and despite it being 10:44PM I have started construction

[manic lynx]

Lol cool

[pseudo rain]

I have the layout done I'll send a screenshot in a few seconds

I'm using Stargate Atlantis as a loose inspiration

[pseudo rain]

It has 4 sub-branches, 1 main branch

Research, vehicle storage, habitation, and power production are the sub-branches

And the control/main tower is in the center

[analog hemlock]

I have no idea

[analog hemlock]

That’s really nice

I love the shape

[rough grail]

it wouldnt let me do all pics in 1 go bc it would only save 1

[analog hemlock]

Wow lava zone

[analog hemlock]

The ambience compliments it well

[rough grail]

yes

even my own huge aquarium

[analog hemlock]

Are those the dunes?

[analog hemlock]

That looks nice

[rough grail]

no thats magmarang and red eyeyeye

[analog hemlock]

No no I mean the previous base

But yours looks really cool too

[rough grail]

no all in lava zon''

[analog hemlock]

You chose a nice spot

[rough grail]

zone*

yes i like lava zone

[analog hemlock]

Ik ik but the person before you I mean

[rough grail]

ok

[analog hemlock]

Anyway yours is pretty sweet

[rough grail]

btw jellyshroom caves better

anyways

[analog hemlock]

If you want a bit more lighting you could try using creepvine inside the aquarium

[rough grail]

meh

[analog hemlock]

Fr I love the purple ambience

[pseudo rain]

Yes

[analog hemlock]

Nice

[rough grail]

im too lazy to go all the way to safe shallows

[analog hemlock]

Yeah you’re way in too deep now

[analog hemlock]

I love the dunes there is so much space

[rough grail]

ill do em later

[analog hemlock]

Bet

Good luck filling that up

[pallid gyro]

how to find a pro

[analog hemlock]

I’m creative however I’m too scared to even go to the border in survival

[rough grail]

wont be hard i only need one then wait alot of minutes

[pallid gyro]

that makes sense

[analog hemlock]

But if you do know how to dodge reapers

[pseudo rain]

That's the reason I chose that space to build

[pallid gyro]

never been to the dunes. likely never will be

[analog hemlock]

I recommend you to bring as much as you can so you don’t have to make many trips

[rough grail]

ok

[analog hemlock]

You could use the phase gates too

[rough grail]

yeah but i havent done it

btw i did it on creative

[analog hemlock]

Check it out in creative, it’s really cool

[analog hemlock]

Same with my base

[pallid gyro]

from what ive seen in videos, its just empty space filled with reapers

[rough grail]

no i have a survival with rocket

[rough grail]

thats the dunes

[analog hemlock]

Yeah but there are some juicy wrecks

[pseudo rain]

Plus the alien vent that's there

[analog hemlock]

And if you advance enough you could reach the sea treader caves

[analog hemlock]

True

But I enjoy watching the terrain with my sonar

[rough grail]

thats past the northern bloodvine

[pallid gyro]

from the dunes? i just go through the sparse reef

[pseudo rain]

It's very large and open

Perfect for large bases

[rough grail]

the dunes is probs on the right of sparse reef

[analog hemlock]

Yes but I think you can also reach them from the dunes

[analog hemlock]

Yeah

[pallid gyro]

its just north of there, past the blood kelp trench

[analog hemlock]

Yes

[rough grail]

yeah i saw it on https://subnauticamap.io/i/Dunes

[analog hemlock]

There’s also a huge crater

With a precursor sanctuary

[rough grail]

you mean craters edge?

[analog hemlock]

No no

Like a huge crevice

Looks like a meteor impact

[pallid gyro]

its a point of interest

[rough grail]

show me on

[pallid gyro]

ill check it out

[rough grail]

subnautica map

[analog hemlock]

I’ll see if I can find it

[rough grail]

heres sparse reef

[rough grail]

heres dunes

[pallid gyro]

that is a big crater

[rough grail]

yes

[pallid gyro]

how deep does it go?

[analog hemlock]

Umm

Bad estimated around 300

[pallid gyro]

dang

[analog hemlock]

Yeah

Tho it’s just empty

[pallid gyro]

pretty much the only area without reapers, too

[analog hemlock]

I wish there was something like a wreck or an alien base

[analog hemlock]

Yeah

Only one in that specific crater

Well close to it

[rough grail]

my power source even tho creative

[analog hemlock]

That will generate you energy for millennia

[pallid gyro]

thermal in a thermal biome. smart

[analog hemlock]

Yes

I was thinking though to build a base on the sea treader caves

[pallid gyro]

you were not kidding about the meteor crash site

[rough grail]

barely enough to sustain enough water filtration machines for like 10 to 25 ppl

most likely

[cerulean zodiac]

Well fortunately there's only one person on the planet

[pseudo rain]

E N E R G Y

[silver bramble]

Unlimited POWWEERRR

[lime marsh]

Dunes has a wreck and an alien cache

In fact, every biome has an alien cache

[spring sequoia]

wait really? lemme think about that

not safe shallows, grassy plateaus, kelp forest, crash zone, ||sea treader's path, or underwater islands|| (not sure if the last two are spoilers so i marked them as spoilers)

[nimble violet]

i would not consider my subnautica experience spoiled by knowing a path of something exists and underwater islands exist

[lime marsh]

Well almost every biome

[sharp frigate]

Most have alien vents though, if not all

[cerulean zodiac]

which Caches you are referring to? All of them?

There are multiple types

[analog hemlock]

Yes but I mean in the crater specifically

[pseudo rain]

It's the one with the trillion credits in it

[pallid gyro]

storm means the crater in the dunes

[pseudo rain]

I'm joking

[pallid gyro]

just making sure

[keen oracle]

you know what's funny, thermal plants in lava geysers generate way more heat than when they're placed on literal lava down in those zones
why? don't know xD

[pallid gyro]

physics break 100

[pseudo rain]

When the steam is hotter than lava

[proper rover]

Finally finished my Cove Tree Base

[waxen timber]

Being honest I currently kinda don't have motivation to move forward in-game, and when it comes to making bases because of new buildings likely being added at some point it feels pretty pointless to me

[proper rover]

I get what you mean, although I guess I’ll make a new file using the added pieces

[keen oracle]

as a person who finds building bases really fun and uses it as the main thing I do after I beat the game, I'm not sure what else you could do but you can always start a new save if you've already beat one, or try hardcore if you haven't before

[dark vault]

||which is exactly why if you place it in the void the ghost leviathan wont attack you if you are in it||

[pseudo rain]

When the poster finds a new trick for cooler interior power areas

Exterior

[rustic remnant]

ahhh... how... 🤣

[pseudo rain]

simple trick of breaking reality

[dark vault]

bro I dont even know how to make the cyclops go down and u managed that??

[rustic remnant]

hahahaha... why is that so true

[pseudo rain]

The breaking reality wasn't the Cyclops

[rustic remnant]

i mean... im working on mine now... but i cant remove the water like that...

[pseudo rain]

Cyclops was easy, just do the destroycyclops CC

[rustic remnant]

youve just put my pride to shame... haha

[dark vault]

then I have no clue what is lol

[pseudo rain]

2nd image of interior

Bioreactor with 2 panels for activation

Clipped two bioreactors into one space

Can be done a max of 4 times with either nuclear or bioreactors

[dark vault]

(but in all seriousness how do you make it go down my only method is to make it go up out of the water basically do a dolphin jump and then go down like 20-30 meters. yes, this was embarrassing to ask.)

[rustic remnant]

c

[pseudo rain]

no idea mate I play on switch

[rustic remnant]

bruh i wont lie i had to google it the first time haha

[pseudo rain]

For me it's just the top L key lmao

[dark vault]

lol I was abt to but then I was ashamed to

[rustic remnant]

nahh bro nothing to be ashamed of lol

ive had the game since 2018 and i still google stuff about it

[rustic remnant]

but all seriousness.... please give input 🥲

[pseudo rain]

I got the game mid 2021 I believe

[dark vault]

I got it mostly because I thought it would be cool to see the fish but it then proceeded to give me thalassophobia within 2 hours. Still one of my fav games

[pseudo rain]

Pretty good, large, and overall functional. I do recommend trying some exterior tricks and such for some smaller details

[rustic remnant]

well im busy trying to bring some plants in, ill send pics of those now

[pseudo rain]

there's a pretty easy glitch to allow interior base parts to be placed outside, likewise with exterior base parts inside

[rustic remnant]

this is the back end

the gront

[rustic remnant]

please tell me

because i wanted to do small plant pots outside...

[pseudo rain]

If you go on YouTube and search I believe "subnautica wet%" you should find speedruns that use the glitch

[dark vault]

your literally giving me so many good ideas for my base its making me want to deconstruct mine, put it in a new (and more scenic) spot, and completely redo the layout

[rustic remnant]

i completely redid it hahaha

[pseudo rain]

Basically you take 2 I-compartments and half construct a bulkhead in them

Then destroy one of the compartments and finish the bulkhead

[rustic remnant]

i seee

does it matter that im playing on nitrox? (multiplayer mod)

[pseudo rain]

You can then go inside, open the bulkhead, and leave to the open world as if it's inside

I would assume not but I'm not sure

[rustic remnant]

alright lets see if i can figure this out

do i need to add a hatch? or nah?

[pseudo rain]

I play on a console so I'm not entirely sure

You need a hatch to go inside

[rustic remnant]

aighty easy stuff

[pseudo rain]

It's better shown in the speedrun videos

[rustic remnant]

ill give it a go rq

[pseudo rain]

Ighty

Careful though, it is pretty easy to get stuck on the terrain if you fall

[rustic remnant]

oh.... yikes okayt

so place it sort of low down?

[pseudo rain]

That or preemptively place foundations as a sort of walkway

[rustic remnant]

cant get many foundations in... haha

[dark vault]

I have actually been looking for someone to do a game with basically to make a bunch of huge megabases using nitrox if you are interested at a later time.

[rustic remnant]

well i mean, i jam with my mates, so i could be keep

keen*

[pseudo rain]

Also you can place wall lockers, fabricators, battery chargers, etc on the sides of compartments and multipurpose rooms while outside

[rustic remnant]

ooooooh

i did it first try!

[pseudo rain]

Nice

[rustic remnant]

but i forgot my titanium...

[dark vault]

I'm just going to pretend that im not confused and that I understand that completely (I'm inferring it means that your up to it at a later time)

[rustic remnant]

i am down to play at a later time!

[pseudo rain]

Rip

I don't play survival much anymore

Mostly creative

[rustic remnant]

i built this stuff in survival...

its been painful

[pseudo rain]

I've done 5 or so playthroughs in survival and beaten 3 of them to completion

[rustic remnant]

ive done a bunch, beaten probably 2

[pseudo rain]

one of the uncompleted ones for me was in hardcore

[rustic remnant]

issue is, i would wipe my pc a lot and forget to backup my save

[pseudo rain]

Other was lost from a console replacement

[dark vault]

thank you for dumbing it down

[rustic remnant]

@pseudo rain So tell me... what do you put outside?

[pseudo rain]

I don't usually use the glitch to put interior stuff outside unless I'm making a base on the islands

I do however use it to place exterior things inside

You can use the same glitch to swim from the outside to the inside

[lime marsh]

Outdoor base underwater (using the bulkhead glitch(

I like having all my stuff outside for some odd reason

[cerulean zodiac]

Nice

Might do that on land sometime; not sure about walking around underwater

[dull dock]

jus casually breaking physics (oh wait this game already has killed physics)

[rustic remnant]

well... i dont think ill be needing those ideas anymore hahahaha... yeahhh im not happy

[lime marsh]

What happened?

[rustic remnant]

A glitch with nitrox (multiplayer mod)

glitches are sort of commn, but i can live with them considering i can jam with my mates :)

[agile mountain]

I have a base that's past the ecological dead zone where nothing spawns and it has a tunnel all the way to the dunes in case something happens, it has a simple cyclops dock, lights, a moon pool, and a few fish in alien containment aquariums

The dead zone has an endpoint go far enough from the map and the game gets confused and no biome shows up in debug menu where void should show

[dark vault]

I literally love the fact even though my moonpool is above the water I can still force a seamoth to jump up into it

oh and it also has this

[lime marsh]

Why

the only use that would have is to kidnap 25 of every single entity

[pseudo rain]

Who says that isn't the purpose of them

[keen oracle]

: )

[proper rover]

Well… that’s certainly something

[keen oracle]

I have 2 of every larger creature in there (except Cuddlefish, there's just 1) and around 50+ fish iirc

[proper rover]

[keen oracle]

the aquarium is 8 stories high

so it had room for 80 individual creatures

I completely filled it

xD

[proper rover]

That’s definitely gonna be included in Bacon’s video XD

10/10

[keen oracle]

😂 thanks

the aquarium is inside this central tower

[proper rover]

Damn

Also how many observatories do you have xD

[keen oracle]

11

[proper rover]

Wth

🤯🤯🤯

[keen oracle]

yeah getting that enamelled glass was fun

[proper rover]

I bet 😂

[keen oracle]

22 stalker teeth

[proper rover]

100 medkits

100,000,000,000 brain cells

[keen oracle]

link to my main post of the base in this channel

also my bad, the aquarium is 7 stories not 8

top mp room doesn't have a containment

[proper rover]

Wh-

I

Mind absolutely BLOWN

[keen oracle]

https://youtu.be/Pf0LfY-7kqo

[proper rover]

That’s freaking epic

[keen oracle]

thanks 😁

it might be my favourite base I've made so far

although this one does compete with it

[proper rover]

Puts my base to shame 😆😆😆

[keen oracle]

that one is still a pretty decent size, and has a full interior as well

[proper rover]

I LOVE those moonpool entrances

[keen oracle]

: D

I wanted to make it seem like a garage/hangar

[pseudo rain]

What

Good luck with your fps

[proper rover]

My favourite custom rooms

Infection monitoring site & incubation monitoring site

[keen oracle]

I like what you did with the signs

[proper rover]

@pseudo rain look at this instead 😂

[proper rover]

Thanks 👌

[keen oracle]

imagine not having a Cyclops driveway 😛

[proper rover]

You’re really rubbing the salt in the wound now 😂

[keen oracle]

xD

[proper rover]

I wish I could make my bases bigger but my switch refuses to cooperate

[keen oracle]

that's fair

[proper rover]

By threatening to blow up on me

Whenever I boot up the game it heats up and starts whirring like mad

[proper rover]

This one gives me about 4fps

[keen oracle]

yikes

[proper rover]

And there’s a 10 second lag spike whenever I build anything

[keen oracle]

my game ran fine with just my BKT base in my hardcore save but now with this monstrosity under construction close by it's starting to struggle a bit

[proper rover]

I’m…

I’m not surprised

xD

[keen oracle]

I'm hoping, very much hoping that it's only lagging a lot because those two things are relatively close to each other, because if not I might not be able to build much else in this save LOL

not to mention I'm already starting to run low on titanium

[proper rover]

And ofc large deposits don’t respawm

Yeah

Anyway gl xD

[keen oracle]

I have a void base planned too, I very well might have to start another hardcore save 😂

[proper rover]

xD

[dark vault]

to scare people with thalassophobia. I mean it technically was a deep body of water, just add a leviathan mod with some creepy shaders and boom perfect horror pic

[pseudo rain]

But what FPS you do have when you are in your base

Because I always have 35 FPS in safe shallows new game even if I have 100 FPS in other better graphics games

And kelp forest

[dark vault]

I saw earlier you were planning on putting something in it. exactly what are you putting in it?

[proper rover]

Reaper leviathan I think.

[proper rover]

10 usually, drops down to 5-3 when building.

[dark vault]

that would be a cool pet

[proper rover]

Yeah

Drip Leviathan has a pet reaper called Creste

He’s pretty active around here

[pseudo rain]

Hahaha

Yess

I knew it

Do you feel pain? I feel every time I play this game

Low Fps...

[proper rover]

When it crashes or there’s low fps, yeah.

[pseudo rain]

I crash sometimes too

Like it's very unoptimized game

[proper rover]

Or when my counter is slightly misaligned with the wall and I have to do it all over again 😅

[proper rover]

I guess

[keen oracle]

Abyssal said it, a Reaper
gonna name him Calamari 😛

[dark vault]

nice! must be cool to own a pet that could ruin your entire hardcore game if you missed a spot when building!

[keen oracle]

😂

getting one inside is gonna be fun, I'll have to make a sizeable hole in the side and somehow lure it in, maybe using a combination of me in a Seamoth and out in a Seaglide

then once it's inside (my inventory would be full of titanium already) I'd stasis it in place while I fill the hole back in

if it turns out they can somehow clip through foundations I'm gonna yeet my pc out the window

[dark vault]

sounds about right

[waxen timber]

You could use decoys

[dark vault]

I just searched on google to see if anyone has done it. so far, from what I say, no one has. if you manage to do it I'm pretty sure you would be a legend lol

[proper rover]

I mean they clip through the Mountain island…

Reapers are known to defy physics

Well, Subnautica physics anyway

The whole of Subnautica defies our physics lol

[dark vault]

lol agreed its to the point where I found a way to see how high you can build out of the water in survival before the game hates you

[proper rover]

Yeah

Lmao

And how does a Bladderfish, used as a filtering device, count as a chunk of titanium as well? Surely the water would have to be filtered, but that takes ages. And where does the titanium come from? I guess you could say it comes from the natural Iron minerals in the water, but that’s too high-tech even for Alterra.

[waxen timber]

Generally crafting doesn't make sense

It requires nearly no power to basically 3d print something atom by atom with huge precision, but a ton of energy to filter water

[proper rover]

Yeah

Drinking water made by cleaning it with bleach is dubious to say the least

And the hatches…

Don’t get me started

[waxen timber]

As far as I know H2O2 on it's own should be safe

[keen oracle]

IGP made a Reaper cage in earlier Subnautica, he was in survival but then again it's possible he might've just spawned one in to make it easier cause YouTubers trying out a game in its early stages often do stuff like that

I know Markiplier did, he used console commands a few times in his early access playthrough

[lime marsh]

Id rather use a small hatch and not be realistic rather than having to build a fully fledged airlock

Though i admit airlocks WOULD be cooler...

[waxen timber]

They would be pain

[dark vault]

they could add it as an extra option. I end up doing my own mini version where I place them on a multipurpose room directly and it makes its own room-like area. you sadly cant add the bulkhead doors tho

[jagged yew]

Hes talking about water filters. A fabricator would require a ridiculous amount of energy to construct complex objects one molecule at a time. Judging by this, the fabricator should be able to filter water very easily and with relatively low energy consumption in comparison to printing a computer chip or time freezing gun. But the water filtration machine, basically an oversimplified fabricator type, is massive and costs ten times the energy

[lime marsh]

This is the future, atom rearrangement is probably really easy in the sn world

[lime marsh]

My base

My base, ditto

Main&bioreactor room

Growbed room (above main&bioreactor room)

Oculus farm

Nuclear reactor room

[halcyon pilot]

When i saw the name i was like: Wait, how are you farming oculus if they're fish?

[lime marsh]

Uh?

Oh by farming i meant breeding them

[halcyon pilot]

I understand it when i see the img :)

But ey, nice base! :)

[lime marsh]

Thx

Also i have an observatory growing room

[lime marsh]

Can be seen here

It has 3 pots and 1 solar panel

[halcyon pilot]

i had to start mine by building the scanner room due to the Regular room's blueprints being missing

[waxen timber]

Even then it would physically require huge amounts of energy

(I'm not even sure where I found that info now, but you seem to be right)

Honestly just boiling the water would probably make far more sense

How do you know?

[pseudo rain]

sus

[tranquil niche]

Why dots?

[lime marsh]

I tried to mimic the effect of ionizing radiation evaporating the pixels

[tranquil niche]

Ahh I got confused

[waxen timber]

I think it would be better to just change some image settings to add some "noise" to the image

[nova yarrow]

Why are there dots

O

[boreal flame]

dangggg

[glossy shore]

My base + Melon seamoth

[pseudo rain]

this is my first compact base design as i was low on resources and needed a lifepod alternative in a better biome, its in sparse reef 117m deep on top of a jagged rock, with a farm on the outside for all the plants i need.

I still need to get a medical kit fabricator and a modification station

[cerulean zodiac]

What's that modded part just outside the window?

[pseudo rain]

its an oxygen provider from the FCStudios mods, for a base to have oxygen you need to build one and connect it to a surface air pump

[cerulean zodiac]

Where'd you get the FCS mods from? I'm having some difficulties finding them

[waxen timber]

What about bases with no access to surface?

[pseudo rain]

The one I'm using is just the early game one, there's a later game one that's more expensive but it works anywhere with no piping

[waxen timber]

Are there any limits to base sizes because of that? (like one compartment having X volume therefore needing Y oxygen while pump produces Z oxygen)

[nova yarrow]

Wait bases in FCS mods don’t automatically have oxygen?

[dark vault]

I found I had an obsession making smaller bases, and this one by far is my favorite. it is has two greenhouses, a bedroom, storage area, and a lounge area (like seating, basically like a minni living room)

[waxen timber]

That's a mini base that looks kinda nice(definitely better than the underwater sheds my starter bases were)

[keen oracle]

it's a Reaper containment

[nova yarrow]

Make a 1 tube base ez

[keen oracle]

are you using a mod or how did you get a bed to fit inside a T-compartment? I've tried to place beds in compartments before (all 3 types of compartments, single bed) and could never do it, I didn't think there was enough space

[dark vault]

I'm using the decorations mod, but I dont think it messes with the beds. It is only a single bed tho which could explain why. oh, and it took me a full 5 minutes to get it fit.

[keen oracle]

have you ever tried it without the decorations mod?

I'll have to attempt it again in creative to see if I can make it work

[waxen timber]

Honestly in-game building hotboxes can be wonky as heck

[keen oracle]

cause according to the wiki a compartment isn't one of the rooms a bed can be placed in

[nova yarrow]

No it’s because the length of it is in one tube and the width is in a diffrent tube

[keen oracle]

🤔

[nova yarrow]

The longest sideways hit box is in a difffrent tube than the length of the hit box

I’m not very good at wording

[keen oracle]

I didn't realize the visual hologram of the placed object represented its full hitbox, I always thought it extended somewhat outside because there are some cases where you can't place things right next to something even though their placement indicator would seem to allow it (besides being red)

[zealous ridge]

I hate going up ladders so i build my base one story high ant think it looks amazing

Here is some of the interior

[keen oracle]

Jellyshroom Caves pog

[pseudo rain]

yes but you can get multiple, and the expensive tank covers everything iirc

I made small indoor garden/medical bay (pretend that the mushrooms and stuff are for medicine)

[glossy shore]

I colored my seamoth like a watermelon and named it watermelon, cause water melon
Get it??
WATER... Melon??
It goes in the water...
Get it?

[keen oracle]

sea melon

[modern carbon]

i don't get it

[waxen timber]

🍈

Now you get it

[nova yarrow]

ITS A DEVIL FRUIT

[waxen timber]

What?

[nova yarrow]

Watch one piece

[waxen timber]

eww anime

||This is a joke that is not meant to be serious, watch what you want||

[muted thistle]

This was my base for Below Zero - built on the ice floes in the West Arctic, complete with weather observation tower, sheltered inner courtyard and a small underwater section, plus access via the adjacent iceberg to crystal caves (see final screenshot) with a high hide to observe Pingwings in their natural habitat. The aim was to create an interesting layout that was fairly simple to navigate and fitted with the theme of an isolated Alterra research station.

[crystal panther]

Nice

[wispy osprey]

so i just ||cured the disease|| in my hardcore world, and i'm looking for a cool place to build a nice stationary base. any suggestions?

[keen oracle]

my top 3 biomes for base building, especially mega bases are the Grand Reef/Deep Grand Reef, Blood Kelp Zone (both of them) and the Bulb Zone

I have a main base in the DGR in my survival save and one in the BKT in my hardcore, both fantastic base locations

can be somewhat dangerous at times but that's part of the fun

[wispy osprey]

ye in my survival world i built a smaller base in the trench, so i'm just looking for cool places that won't be repetitive. thx for the tips!

[glossy shore]

it goes in the water, and it looks like a water melon

nvm

[rough knot]

Void is always fun in hardcore

[zealous ridge]

Expanded my base with 5 new multipurpose rooms and another moon pool so I can store more recourse

[copper flax]

Wow how do you power up this ?

[zealous ridge]

Three thermal plants and an nuclear reactor and I have a bioreactor too but it's offline most of the time

[copper flax]

nice

I started a base in this biome i am not done with the interior but idk if I can add something like a second moonpool

[pseudo rain]

that looks very cozy

[timber cosmos]

good luck exiting the cave lmao

[pseudo rain]

You are one brave man

[sour idol]

I havent been here in a while, mainly because I haven't been building bases in Subnautica like i normally am.
I also used to do polls with reactions, but Im to lazy to do that rn, so I just wanted to ask, is it better to have the cyclops as your base until endgame or stay in a built habitat?

[dull dock]

its a water fruit so your point is now invalid

[nova yarrow]

Water devil fruit

Gives you the ability to swim in water

[nova yarrow]

But also they sent a emoji of 🍈

Not water melon

[jagged yew]

I had a base but pretty much only ever used my cyclops since I could bring it with me wherever I go. In below zero I made a bigger main base since you cant exactly survive off a seatruck alone as much as you can a cyclops

The only thing my base was really for was charging my power cells (before I solved that issue by bringing a small base of materials on my cyclops) and for storing the seamoth that I never touched in the endgame

[dull dock]

wtaer melone

[lime marsh]

Its a melon

Watermelons are much more waterier 👍

🍉

This is a watermelpj

Melon

Watermelon

[muted thistle]

There isn't a better or worse - it depends mostly on how you prefer to play the game. Kitting out a self-sufficient Cyclops is more efficient, but skips a lot of the fun parts of base-building due to limited space and reliance on the thermal reactor upgrade to power battery/cell chargers. The Cyclops also lacks that feeling of 'home', a sense of "I built this" and has less good views to appreciate, so it's not something I tend to do.

[cerulean zodiac]

I usually end up doing both. Building a full sized base is nice, but also having a kitted out Cyclops is great for long expeditions.

[ornate oriole]

yes

one piece is peak

[copper flax]

At first building a base here was quite scary but with the time I was used to and finally had the confidence to build it and what a view

[jagged yew]

Shadow levis are pathetic

If you stop driving the seatruck they just pretend like you dont exist

So literally just leave the controls of your seatruck when one approaches

[copper flax]

Well idk but he seems kinda aggressive here although I did not move

[jagged yew]

You have to stop controlling the truck

If you just sit in a module it doesnt care

[copper flax]

Oh okay thanks

[copper flax]

But when I was swimming he still attacked me so it make building the base quit hard at first bc he was scaring me

[keen oracle]

I'd say a habitat, I use the Cyclops a lot and it does sort of function as a base early in game (but I still have starter bases) and late game I mainly use it as a resource collector and transport

[lusty dock]

despites on your preference I like cyclop as the base due to having everything near me and a lot of storage and I don't need much resources for him beside of some upgrades only downsite is power but it can be easly solver by upgrades and having a base for resuplying power cells for example in LR

[reef goblet]

I had nothing to do so once i got in my creative world and built a HUGE base

[gilded crag]

Im not proud of this much since this isnt gonna be the main base im planning on having but yea!

[sour idol]

looks nice, especially that little bed area in the corner, its nicely packed up

its so annoying when things float on walls in the cyclops smh 🙄

[pseudo rain]

Mhm. Its sad

[quartz nacelle]

My survival tree cove base

[sour idol]

Wow that’s a giant base, looks really nice under the tree

[proper rover]

It’s Tony

Haven’t seen you around here in ages.

[wispy osprey]

that's actually very cool

[quartz nacelle]

Thanks :3 , my whole idea was to make a base surrounding the whole cove tree and it came out pretty good🙂

[nova yarrow]

Yeah cove bases are cool

[velvet musk]

well hello there

[nova yarrow]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-there-hi-there-greetings-gif-9442662

[boreal flame]

[nova yarrow]

Thank uuuu

[proper rover]

Guys

It’s confirmed

[rose flume]

But whyyy. Rip databoxes.

[proper rover]

Yeah I would have liked databoxes as well

I guess the devs have a valid reason not to

[rose flume]

Oh well I guess 😛

[pseudo rain]

Honestly I don't mind

I just want the update to come soon cause my alantis inspired build would look better with one or two large rooms

[pseudo rain]

YES!

[sour idol]

Yea I haven’t been playing subnautica recently

I’m surprised I was recognized

[nova yarrow]

I still love this shader

A lot of people aren’t fans of the cell shading but idk why I personally like it

[hollow wolf]

I feel bad for all the limestone out crops abused for this

[quartz nacelle]

Limestone what?

[waxen timber]

Yeah. But at least it seems to be getting closer to being released.

[waxen timber]

Drilling goes brrrrr

[sour idol]

There’s something wrong with this base and idk what it is, it just feels strange I guess

How can I fix it

[summer palm]

What’s that

[rose flume]

The databoxes or?

[rose flume]

IMO the legs on the individual pieces are too much.

[keen oracle]

I'd say give it some more depth so the legs are shorter, and maybe add more rooms to it

I always recommend putting foundations under bases, it makes them feel much more grounded imo, rather than looking like they just got plopped there

[hollow wolf]

The limestone outcrops?

[hollow wolf]

I don’t know if this counts but it’s abiotic a base I’m building I’m gonna build in survival soon, but it’s a huge base and I, using the gargantuan mouth as a observatory

[ebon pumice]

Should I make this in survival?

I like these big rooms

[summer palm]

Databoxes

[dull dock]

large limestone outcrop deposit be like 💀

[ebon pumice]

Let the construction begin

[dull dock]

-cues dream speedrun music while resource gather montage happens

[ebon pumice]

The struggle to farm titanium begins*

I will now get so much unwanted copper and lead

[dull dock]

get 2 moonpools

each to charge prawn and seatruck

[ebon pumice]

I only have the sea truck

[dull dock]

get 2 anyway

[ebon pumice]

I'm going to disassemble my old base for titanium

[ebon pumice]

I'll make a second once I get the prawn

[dull dock]

dont forget reinforcementa

[ebon pumice]

I really wish the cyclops was in this game

I miss being able to use it as a moonpool

[dull dock]

seatruck power upgrade module?

adds more power cells

[ebon pumice]

All I have is depth mod mk1

I haven't played much bz yet

[ebon pumice]

Almost done with the exterior

Adding a little extension to the surface to add a lookout

[ebon pumice]

The crab is just missing a claw

I don't have a base control room yet

[sour idol]

Looks nice

And the color makes it even cooler

It just so big- like normally that’s not a bad thing but how are you gonna fill up that entire base?

[drowsy jacinth]

More importantly, how are you going to get enough resources for it?

[proper rover]

If they managed to get enough resources to build the base itself, I’m sure that they can get more for the interior.

[ebon pumice]

The center room is really the only living space

The rest is storage and power

[ebon pumice]

It's actually red the lighting is just really bad

Red orange and yellow

To complete the crab look

[grim pilot]

My “starter”, if you will, base (before my cove tree base)
Its only my second actual base so far in the entire game and I’m super happy with how it turned out

[keen oracle]

interesting moonpool placement, I didn't know you could put large rooms on top of them like that

[ebon pumice]

Yeah it fits perfectly in the center I like it

[ebon pumice]

I'll upload a little tour of it in a minute

The enterior is barely even started

[ebon pumice]

I tried to record it and it didn't record the whole thing

[broken sundial]

Thermal plants the best energy source

I never knew you could put them on a platform like that tho

That’s smart

[grim pilot]

Yeah its tricky to get them to connect to the beacon and not the foundation itself (since it counts as a base), but its a lot easier than regular placement

[pseudo rain]

When does the update release?

[wet root]

I forgot to take a pic of my below zero seabase, I'll do that later today

[wet root]

Shadows don't scare me since they're so visible and in small areas

What scares me is the vast nothingness and not being able to see it coming

[cerulean zodiac]

Partially Complete Seabase in the Bulb Zone. Ideas would be appreciated.

[pseudo rain]

When does the update release on ps4

?

[waxen timber]

Certainly at least when it releases at all

[pseudo palm]

You guys still play this?

[waxen timber]

Sir this is Subnautica server

[hollow wolf]

It’s released on pc

[waxen timber]

Wait no more Steam experimental only?

[hollow wolf]

Yeah I think they said it’s released on pc

I’m just waiting for it to come out console

[waxen timber]

If that's true then it's the second thing on today pog list

(first being siksong)

[cerulean zodiac]

It's not meant to be entirely a lab, but I like being able to watch the area around my base through windows and observatories.

[formal kindle]

What did you think

[fast quest]

Looks nice

[formal kindle]

I played for a long time and had realized that until now I hadn't built a room

[sour idol]

I was planning my lost river base and put this together quickly. Yea.. it seems too crowded

I also made this pit-stop plan in creative for my hardcore world, but idk if it’s too expensive to build multiple times

[keen oracle]

looks pretty cheap to me

although I admit I may have a slightly skewed perspective of cost due to the amount of resource gathering I do on a regular basis 😂

[sour idol]

Yea I just be pulling up to the lava zone with 4 titanium in my cyclops 💀

[hard wasp]

guys can i post a part of my base here?

here's the part of my base (laggy cause i have lack of fps)

[summer palm]

Why 💀

[waxen timber]

Why so much jelly?

[hard wasp]

i had spare time and im too lazy to get blueprints

there are 2016 gel sacks total

[pseudo rain]

The amount of sacks in that one area frightens me

[nova yarrow]

https://tenor.com/view/the-rock-gif-23501265

Time to take that out of context

[pallid gyro]

would you like me to resurect the gargantuan?

[magic stag]

base

[pallid gyro]

nice

[summer palm]

Where you find the blueprint for that big room

[fast quest]

It isn't available yet on consoles, only on the Steam experimental branch.

[summer palm]

😦

Damn

[fast quest]

But to answer your question, recently the devs added the large room and both glass dome blueprints to unlock along with the multipurpose room.

[ebon pumice]

I survived in the lava zone with one multipurpose room with an alien containment tank so that I could breed fish for food

[main sand]

messy ahh base [2 cameras taken away by stalkers :skull]

[keen oracle]

I like that section that has a bunch of regular corridors with windows instead of glass corridors, I'll have to try that technique on some of my builds

[sour idol]

yea its a nice way to save up on some glass

but i must say after i got that drill arm for prawn (like 6 hours of playtime after the normal time to unlock it) collecting base materials is extremely easy now

i can actually finish my base plan

[keen oracle]

doesn't that cost just as much?

cause a glass corridor = 2 glass and 2 windows per regular corridor is also 2 glass

[pseudo rain]

i have finished my auto credit FCS farm

[pseudo rain]

my base so far

[sour idol]

Oh I thought it was only one side with the glass

[keen oracle]

is it?

[sour idol]

Looks like it

[keen oracle]

hmm I can't tell

either way it looks cool which imo is more important than cost 😛

[sour idol]

Oh it is two sided

🤷‍♂️

[main sand]

If you are saying it to my base, thank you. I tried to make the base look like an futuristic military.

[quartz nacelle]

I've finished all the interior rooms and the exterior garden in my tree cove base

[pseudo rain]

nice

[quartz nacelle]

Thanks

[pseudo rain]

[sour idol]

I like the idea of the alien containment in the center were all the other rooms connect, it creates a cool center point

And the interior is great, especially considering it’s in survival

Nice job!!

[pseudo rain]

😮 how is that room so pink, i love it

[muted thistle]

Ironically, it can cost more glass. A regular corridor between other corridors can hold 3 glass (2 side windows, 1 top window). An 'end corridor' can hold 4 glass (2 side windows, 1 top window, 1 end 'bubble').

[pseudo rain]

11 hours in, this is my seabase

[cerulean zodiac]

Nice

[quartz nacelle]

It's right near the egg in the cove tree

[next halo]

gonna be honest i thought the big room was a mod

[glossy shore]

base tour:)

[manic lynx]

Wow, the plants you put in that alien containment is the exact same as what I chose, except instead of acid mushrooms I had membrain plant/tree

[sour idol]

I always use jellyshroom in alien containment

It’s just a habit at this point

[solemn heart]

(Built this in hardcore)

[agile steeple]

My base is coming along

[gritty portal]

Does anyone know when the updates on xbox

[waxen timber]

We first need to know when it will release at all in any form

[gritty portal]

Ok

[waxen timber]

From what I remember Subnautica 2.0 will be after Below Zero 2.0, which still doesn't say that much

[gritty portal]

Thx for letting me know

[leaden minnow]

Here we go... again

A video about my home. I'm not saying my base is awesome posting here, but someone sends me here to post again so here's

https://youtu.be/5UIgFMoKo5A

Thank you for the support

[ornate escarp]

All of you are so talented with your bases.

[sour idol]

i like looking over builds and posting my own but i get jealous so easily when someones base is slightly better than mine 😭

but its still fun

[worldly wind]

cool base you got there

[patent shadow]

How is your base structure strength now -20?

[fast quest]

foundations give hull integrity

[dull dock]

Only like 1.2

Reinforcements are more worth it

[fast quest]

I know

[glossy shore]

0.7

[pseudo rain]

OBSERVE

Whats the pros and cons of building bases 500+ meters below?

[arctic coyote]

There is better stuff deeper most of the time

It can also be closer to more important stuff

Cons? Well I guess you’re more likely to run into a leviathan ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Trust me it’s a good idea :)

[pseudo rain]

Haha i guess i have to clear the area then

Wheres a good deep seabase?

[arctic coyote]

The lost river

[pseudo rain]

Which part

Lifepod 2?

[arctic coyote]

My favourite is the middle ||at the sea dragon skeleton||

[pseudo rain]

Ohh that part

Where is it again?

The place wheres theres the last kind of tree that ghostray loves

Ghost leviathan egg nest

[arctic coyote]

If you go through the lifepods 2 entrance for example, you’ll get there after going through the first area

[pseudo rain]

I see

[arctic coyote]

Yeah cove tree is also a popular place to make a base

[pseudo rain]

What does cove tree looked like

[arctic coyote]

Which is just next to the ||skeleton||

[pseudo rain]

This??

[arctic coyote]

Yeah

[pseudo rain]

Ohhh

Ok thanks spitch

[arctic coyote]

😄

[pseudo rain]

Cove tree is 900 meters in r8

[arctic coyote]

Yeah about that

[pseudo rain]

Lol

[keen oracle]

pros: better stuff is typically deeper as someone previously stated, and also the deeper biomes are just cooler in general 😛
cons: can be more dangerous with creatures and whatnot, and each base piece will reduce hull integrity by more the deeper you build

[pseudo rain]

Deeper u go the less integrity?

[waxen timber]

In short: yes
In details: I advise looking at the wiki page for building bases

[pseudo topaz]

Still can’t believe igp built his base at the bottom of the void in survival

[keen oracle]

I was gonna do that in my hardcore save but I've built so much already that lag plus lack of resources would be a serious problem

so I'm going to start a second hardcore to do it lol

[arctic coyote]

How can you reach the bottom of the void?

[pallid gyro]

you dont

[arctic coyote]

Well I asked that because of what burnerlover said

[keen oracle]

well, there isn't exactly a bottom

there's a point around 3000 (I think?) meters down where the terrain ends and if you keep going you'll eventually get teleported back to the Shallows upon reaching 8192 m

[pallid gyro]

mhm

[keen oracle]

there used to be a seaffloor at the bottom in early access which is probably where IGP made his void base

but for whatever reason it got removed in the full release

[glass ingot]

does my cyclops interior count as an awesome base

[arctic coyote]

Yes

[pseudo topaz]

I legit just deconstructed my whole base put the materials on my cyclops and moved it into that ravine where you get gel sacs

[rough knot]

If we don't have cat walks I will do it myself

[patent shadow]

Let’s hope the abandon ship theme doesn’t start

[rough knot]

Now with OSHA violations

[modern night]

nice

[tight remnant]

My very legendary base on the edge of the blood kelp trench (visible in the background)(with labels)

[cerulean zodiac]

Nice base

If you wanna improve it's looks though, I'd suggest adding a few more foundations. At the moment it doesn't look very structurally sound.

[tight remnant]

It's structurally sound enough, only 90m below sea level

[rigid maple]

Nice

[tight remnant]

Also I've decided to give up on the reactor room since three thermal generators is more than enough so
don't really know what to use that room for now

[patent shadow]

Storage?

[arctic coyote]

Lovely!

[cerulean zodiac]

Yeah, more storage would be good if it's a survival base. You can't have enough storage.

[dull dock]

Agreed

[leaden minnow]

Nice

[leaden minnow]

Yes it is, let us see your awesome cyclops

[astral seal]

My base

The tower on the left with the solar panels ontop wasn’t originally going to connect to my base until i found that reactors need connecting and cant use power extenders, and i had to move the entire tower because of this and i wasted a nuclear rod thingy

[lilac torrent]

Bro everyone’s bases are so amazing and extravagant and then you look at my one multipurpose room and thermal plant.

[jagged yew]

My original base was built in survival and sort of just grew as it needed to without any organization.

[sour idol]

Hardcore starter base !!

[cerulean zodiac]

That's usually how it works. I've made some pretty big bases and I very rarely plan anything about them.

[sharp parrot]

Wait you can build on land?\

[pallid gyro]

in both games, yes, although its better in bz

[sharp parrot]

Cool

[leaden minnow]

Cool base

[leaden minnow]

When I played, you just could build inside the ocean in the first Subnautica, although you can build wherever you want in Below Zero

But you can force the game to build a bit above the ocean using a platform

[astral seal]

Thanks

[pseudo rain]

You can build on land in both games

Pretty sure it's always been like that

[cerulean zodiac]

Yeah, it has

Below Zero just has more support for it, such as the staircases & doors

[limpid rivet]

Can someone show how to build on land?

[silver prairie]

You can build on land

It's very simple

[pseudo rain]

Get the builder tool, select foundation and place it on land then build whatever u like on it

[brazen sun]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[brazen sun]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[limpid rivet]

Oh ok I didn’t know u had to put foundations on first

[quartz nacelle]

OMG It's gorgeous. Amazing work

[pseudo rain]

you don't

it's like building under water

Except on land

In SN it's ||the islands|| you build on and BZ it's all the ice shelves and land portions

[keen eagle]

My base near the hill descending into grassy plateau

Built it in creative and in survival 1:1 right after only some multipurpose rooms that were 1 floor got extended to 2 and 3 floors and the ones at the back all got extended by one floor

I’ll be rebuilding it even better/larger in my modded survival and with more 3d depth

[pseudo rain]

Ice worm cave base

Still need to get posters and stuff out of my seatruck

[keen eagle]

The base I built in creative as a guide for the base I’m building in survival

Here’s how it’s coming along

[dull dock]

L

[keen oracle]

looks good but if I might offer a suggestion, put some foundations around at the bottom, it will make the base look a lot more grounded and solid

plus it'll give you a little bit of extra hull integrity, although not much so I'd mainly rely on reinforcements to do that job

[patent shadow]

I need advice, should I build my base at the ghost tree (900m, one of the entrances to ILZ)?

[fast quest]

It's a good spot

[keen eagle]

Yep I like to put foundations at the very end most of the time as I can see how they integrate into the full picture, the main concern with the base is that it’s flooded and with the size that it is it’s going to take a while to repair and drain all that stuff, also considering I don’t even have any ladders on the interior yet. I’ll get going on that now though

[patent shadow]

for flooding, I would suggest that you should use one of the tower rooms and make the walls reinforced

[keen eagle]

thats what I did but the hull integrity was negative before I did that so theres like 100 leaks

heres how the base looks like rn and the tower at the very back the first 3 floors are fully reinforced

[patent shadow]

looks nice

[keen eagle]

thx m8, should I go bigger or is this a good enough size to call my main base

[patent shadow]

I'd say its big enough, besides you can always add on

[keen eagle]

my next plans for now is making the top floor 5 buildings at the left all connect, and then I can add areas i can build off from in the future from there

[vital berry]

Bro watchu putting in all those rooms?

[cerulean pulsar]

He is storing the entire ocean's ecosystem in that

[vital berry]

He better have a room devoted to all cuddle fish in the game

[keen eagle]

I do…

@vital berry

😈

[waxen timber]

This joke has aged like milk

That has been spilled few decades ago

[vital berry]

Oh my…

Nice thx for having one few people add one these days 👍

[light pike]

Hey I found a wreck with a garbled file, is that normal? It was a really hard area to get into in the wreck and easily missed if ur not looking for it

[balmy lance]

Yep

[light pike]

Oh okay, good to know, I thought I had discovered something new

[dull dock]

Yes…good job

[pseudo rain]

We're is your base?

[keen eagle]

this really nice empty area in grassy platous near the edge of kelp forest

[patent shadow]

yes

[gilded grove]

Just finished both Subnauticas. Favorite game in a long time. What's the best way to show your base? Ive never made a video but I feel pics won't do it justice. I was thinkin maybe a vid with some music and subtitles. I'm not much of a talker.

[patent shadow]

depends on the base really, you can show only pictures or make a video about it

[gilded grove]

Ok, gaiz. These are my survival bases from both games. It was a blast, thanks subnautica team. https://youtu.be/PcaKRLqX0Bs

https://youtu.be/mBOWN1GsN4I

[brazen remnant]

built an aquarium!! please rate ouyt of 10

[patent shadow]

on edge out of 09

[brazen remnant]

Feedback noted! 🙂

[gilded grove]

That's F'in great. 10/10 How did you trap it?

[brazen remnant]

I built 3/4 walls then I lured it in and used the stasis rifle to keep it there

at least that was the plan

I built my base very close to the one in the grand reef, however, while building I accidentally despawned it. I tried to get the other one but I just couldn't get it to follow me. After 30 minutes of practically begging it to eat me I gave up, finished the base, aaaand spawned one in..

[patent shadow]

ah

[gilded grove]

Lol, your plan would've worked tho. I really like the idea. Time to catch me a reefback and slowly move it cage closer to my base somehow

[patent shadow]

do I have enough cyclops storage?

[cerulean pulsar]

No

You can never have enough

Remember to fill up the cockpit, engine room and the room inbetween the cockpit and engine room with storage

Than you will maybe have enough

[patent shadow]

my titanium will run out

[gilded grove]

You put storage lockers OVER storage lockers?!

Madman

[patent shadow]

yeah, if you place them right, you can still reach all of them

[cerulean pulsar]

Scap doen your base

[patent shadow]

still won't have enough

[gilded grove]

Not up and down, sorry. You coverd the cyclops built in storage

I didnt realize it came with extra storage until after i beat the game X(

Sure would've came in handy

[patent shadow]

see, you can still reach it

[gilded grove]

ohhh hahaha

genius

[pallid gyro]

10

[brazen remnant]

Thanks!

[patent shadow]

should I put my bedroom in a room with mostly windows, or in a observatory

[gilded grove]

I did both and like the observatory slightly better

[vocal hazel]

10/10

[jagged yew]

You can fit a LOT more in if you go over them with regular lockers.

[patent shadow]

honest, I should do that, I have the quartz

but I don't need that much storage

[keen eagle]

rate my fcs office out of 10

[patent shadow]

I think 10, I don't have any mods

[keen eagle]

thx m8, I reccomend trying out modded subnautica its fun

[patent shadow]

okay

[keen eagle]

if youre unsure on how to install mods use vortex

[pseudo rain]

Nice mate

I'd rate maybe a 9/10

[gilded grove]

How many dam resources do you need?! I'm tired of collecting things at this point, but it was rewarding to build with found material. I tried creative mode and it's just not the same as progressively building from scratch.

[jagged yew]

Idk about you but I basically collect every resource I see.

[gilded grove]

Oof. I'm slightly less obsessive or whatever...slightly, but I feel you. If resources didn't respawn I might consider it. I'm going crazy trying to find two last posters. I've gotten everything else. I swear I got them too. I won't feel whole until then.

[patent shadow]

honestly, I haven't even used half of the lockers at a given time

[leaden minnow]

Nintendo switch?

[leaden minnow]

No

They…dont respawn

Some do I guess, but it is technically possible to rid the entire map of every single ore.

[gilded grove]

I started noticing quartz respawning around my base in the first Subnautica. I cleared out about a 300km radius around my base multiple times using the scanner. My entire base is glassed out. I noticed a similar thing in Below Zero around my base with quartz and any mineral you break open, lithium too, table coral, probably any thing popping out of the ground or cliffs. It was actually great because I barely had to ever go too far for nearly anything besides, nickel, kyanite, magnetite, uraninite. Those ore veins don't respawn, same with ion cubes and the big drillarm minerals as far as I know, but maybe they take a lot longer. Godspeed with that mission lol

[jagged yew]

Umm…

They…dont respawn. Maybe you missed some initially. Plants and creatures obviously respawn, but ores never do.

[gilded grove]

Hmmm...just curious how often you used the scanner room? I have 4 real-time days in on the first subnautica and I swear at least crystal and limestone would pop up again in the shallows after a while.

[jagged yew]

The scanner room takes time to locate resources. It doesnt automatically locate everything in range. Hence the reason the scanner room speed upgrade exosts

[urban sail]

Quick google result has said ores and all that dont respawn

[jagged yew]

Its fairly common knowledge

Ores dont respawn. I assure you

[gilded grove]

I see results for both lol

[gilded grove]

There are instances in which some things can respawn because your game cache gets wiped but it was not intended. I did just install the experimental modes. I could've swore those coral tube shallows were growing crystals. This game can be glitchy I guess. I don't want to brag but I have 2 kitty keep calm posters.

I'll wait and see if they come back and you guys go get them all. One of us will find out for sure.

[main sand]

I connected my Safe Shallows Base with Grassy Pletaus, trust me it was so hella hard..

Finally finished, took way to long to gather these materials and plants to build this

[keen oracle]

ooh Tree Spires, I plan to build my main base there at some point

my favourite biome in the game

[jagged yew]

2? Pfft. I have at least 5

[haughty oak]

What do you think is the best bed in below zero?

[keen oracle]

personally my favourites are the Ghost Leviathan and Seatruck ones

Parvan's and Fred's to be exact

but that bed does look nice as well, in fact I think it fits the colour scheme of the Tree Spires quite nicely

[haughty oak]

Indeed it does. It provides some contrast to the other colors and i think Danielle's bed fits quite nicely.

[golden thorn]

Hopped on creative and made a base on the delta dock after learning how to set up geforce on my tv.

[wicked iris]

to much subnautica time ^^

[patent shadow]

agreed

[patent shadow]

enough storage?

[proper rover]

Nah

Rookie numbers

[gilded grove]

Everyones spirit animal here is a squirrel

[patent shadow]

so true

[jagged yew]

Me with my 3 floor storage silo…

[patent shadow]

mans, how much of it do you actually use?

[pseudo rain]

Not really, mine is and always will be the Wolf 🐺

[cerulean zodiac]

A good start. You can never have enough though.

[jagged yew]

Probably about half

Most of my stuff is in the cyclops. I actually have stuff sorted there. In my base its just chucked in random lockers

[keen oracle]

then there's me with my tower of lockers that I practically don't use at all 😛
