I couldn't figure out how to build vertically so you're doing better than I could!

Got really bored with going up for Air every 130sec so I used the console cheat unlimited oxygen 
loving the game so much more now.

Awww half the fun was working towards extended air tanks. Also seamoth gives you unlimited air!
My first trip into jellyshroom was 400m of pipes coming out of a floating pump. That was madness.

Pressing f1 brings up a debug menu which will tell you your current biome the compass helps a lot as well. (There is also a map online of you really need a hand)

To each his own, but really ! The sense of danger entering a cave/wreck knowing you HAVE TO remember the way out is a major part of the game for me.

You can carry an extra tank to swap out when oxygen just about depleted. Does take inventory space but saved my butt a few times.

Just make sure you remember to fill the spare tank with air first before heading off

haha thats a pain. the upgrades from the crashed ship is all i found. I havent worked out the plans yet to recreate it. along with the engine efficiency mod from in there too for the cyclops
Guys, I lost my seamoth the other night... explored a little further than I should have!
Where can I find upgrades for it, my previous upgrade allowed me to go down to 300m
You can make them at a modification station.

Here be an album of my bases as I didn't want to directly link them here since there's quite a few.

I only have 2 bases, with the secondary one above the Lost River entrance now being my main. Since it is a large base, modifying it has sprung up an issue - build lag at the moment is about 5secs between placing base elements!
Edit: Just found the upload in HQ option on imgur. Too late

I get the same build lag on my walk-to-the-depths base, must be down to the number of pieces I have placed as the base currently runs from near the start area all the way down 900m past the Lost River and toward the edge of the lava caves and I still need to keep building yet to reach the lava crater
Soldato
lol you're going to be facing epic lag I reckon. My 2nd base isn't even that large and the lag is enough to annoy, when placing things!

Got lost in my last game. Something about being in a dead zone. Pitch black in my Seamoth so I turn around to reassure myself there's nothing behind me.
Yeah, massive ghost reaper with its gob wide open.
Sent a shiver right through me and **** me right up. Love it!
Waiting for the headline "Man dies of heart attack through scary VR experience"

Yeah the Void is a place you don't want to be unless you're prepared...I almost got wrecked there earlier in my main Cyclops, whilst being greedy for a time capsule. Two Ghosties appeared and battered my sub senseless before chasing me for a good distance. I had to keep my shields up permanently for a while and if I hadn't Ion cells I'd have lost my first cyclops!
What’s the best way of powering secondary bases?
I use a bioreactor and solar panels for my main but it’s near the surface and I’m always there to fill the reactor.
I’ve built ones on the ocean floor and they run out of power which flashes up annoying notifications

Nuclear Reactor + Bio-Reactor works best for me gives loads of power.

I only used one secondary base but used the nuclear reactor with the full 4 fuel rods. I used a bioreactor at the surface base but never had too much issue keeping it powered, I just used to throw any eggs and fish in it that I had found.
Soldato
In your secondary base build a Bioreactor and an indoor growbed or two and fill them with plants for fuel, or use a thermal plant (if black Smokers are nearby) in conjunction with power transmitters to send power to your base.
Soldato
All power runs out except solar or geothermal.
You can use power extenders to increase range from either the surface (make platforms up to the top with extenders on) or from a geothermal vent.
Its best to look for those when building deep bases!
