Base Build EPIC FAIL!

Latest Experimental Build--I'd just gotten my base/farms established... and then the Aurora exploded. I swear to you guys (I know, pics or it didn't happen, but still THIS HAPPENED) that a MASSIVE wreck spawned right ON/IN MY BASE! I had to roll back to stable... It was perched on a little plateau overlooking the blood-grass with the Kelp Forest across the way...

I know; and I'd just gotten everything 'set up' so to speak... only to come back to my base to find this holysh-t huge wreck MASHED on it--and I couldn't get Quartz to build a hatch to see what the 'damage' was... *sigh*
Kinda impressive you had the time to get everything you needed to establish a base and farm before the aurora blew. I've never had time to do that much before the explosion.
1. Tank.
2. Fins.
3. Catch 2x Airsack and 2x Peeper; store them in your pod.
4. Builder.
5. Scrum up as much titanium and quartz as you can; build ONE foundation then slap a room on it; then slap a tank in that room; don't worry about the tank hatch or base power.* -
6. Get Peepers and Airsacks from your pod.
7. REMOVE hatch from INSIDE your base then build it on the tank; insert food.
8. REMOVE hatch from tank; reconstruct on base.
9. Repeat 7 and 8 for Acid Mushrooms and Creepvine. ***
9. Top up food and water from the Biome for a while; just until your farm starts working.
10. Scrum up titanium/quartz; build hatch on tank.
11. Abuse pod Fabber until Solar Panel Fragment(s); just build one panel and scrape by for a while until scrum up resources for more.
12. Welder.
13. Radiation Suit / Fix Aurora, just swim out there like REAL MEN DO!
14. Relax...
15. --unless a f***** wreck SPAWNS ON YOUR F*** BASE! ARRGH!
* Foundation, Room, Tank; that's ALL you need--or just the room and tank, though the foundation adds reinforcement; later on when you've got these basics, if you find one set of fish aren't breeding well, build a second room + tank. Once you have "the basics" THEN you can expand.
*** Acid Mushrooms = Farm Three CUT ONE. Creepvine = Plant two or more CREEPVINE SEED CLUSTERS not a Creepvine Sample!
Haha, and that's the better to do ! But when you know the reaper is here you think about it for hours, eating fishes in your lifepod
Your surveyor is showing...
Ah, when you said "farm" I thought you meant swimming to the floater island for the growbed/edible plants.
