When building a mini base what’s worth putting in it?

Fabricator, Battery Charger and a Scanner Room, are my minimum starter set. Then expand as necessary.

Thanks.
I’m quite far on but still no cyclops, I’ve got all the engine pieces but still only 1/3 of the other two parts.
Just don’t know where to look

Check both of the mushroom forests.

C'mon then! Let's see those bases!

BTW, i've never vidcapped anything, and didn't even think to consider that you'd be able to hear what i was listening to (Giantwaffle on another monitor). Just mute it!+

Very mild spoilers if you look hard enough, or if you dont want to know what vehicles become available.

Your base is awesome! Wish I were that creative.

I'll put up some base and vehicle pix up tomorrow. My bases are very simple and have just one thing in mind really - ALL THE STORAGE

 

[dirtybeatfreak]

I haven't built up much of a base. I get fps drops inside of mine, if I take literally one step out of an exit be it through the Moonpool or a hatch, the fps goes back to solid and stays there wherever I go. Soon as I take one step back inside, it drops again. This was before I had loads of items in storage even. So for that reason I lived mostly in my Cyclops

This game looks interesting but can you guys help me understand what the end goal is? So I get that you need to build up your base to aid your survival but is there an actual story / campaign to play through? What are you ultimately trying to achieve or how do you complete the game? Is there more to it than just exploration and building the best base your imagination and found resources allow?

There is a story but honestly it'll spoil it to explain.

The game is a great mix of sandbox and campaign.

You start out with no idea what's going on, the game gives you literal clues and you piece together what's happening. Then it throws things at you to deal with. The whole time you have to maintain your exploration and resource gathering.

I don't think it's beneficial to explain any more as it will seriously spoil it.

Still cant find any nickel, spent hours tonight trying to find the entrance to LR which had some in that I found before, just found leviathans instead

Thanks. It does sound really good and I appreciate you not divulging any more details. This is all I needed to know. I'll be picking this up on pay day next week!

Try the deep biome under the floating island.

Thanks, will try again tomorrow. Really struggling with navigation in this.

I'm fine with flight sims and stuff, but with this I can never recognise where I am in different biomes.

I will be staying away from scuba diving IRL thats for certain.

It gets easier to recognise stuff. Start making becons to mark different biomes or micro bases. I've got a 1 room base in every biome with storage and a fabricator. Name them with beacons to help.

Then you can ferry between them in the seamoth pretty fast.

LR can be found at

Just built my cyclops. Where's good to go on the first outing? Somewhere not too dangerous to start.

I found this too when I played. A good tip you can do is push f1, it will tell you what biome you're in. Breaks immersion a little bit of course but it helped me no end get used to navigating. Didn't need it by the end.

Awesome base

 

[Tombstone]

My walk-to-the-depths base is now at 914m

Need MORE titanium !

 

[DampCat]

You're like, half way there

 

[Tombstone]

You're like, half way there

Yep, getting there, probably not taken the shortest route so its a bit convoluted in places, and at some point I need to reinforce the walls so that I can put glass in to make it a scenic walk
