New Building Shapes for Base Building
Right now we are only limited to simple cylinder connectors and octagon room aka multi-room. I would like to see more variety of base building blocks that can be used to create more unique bases that players can show off with screenshots! Each new part I am suggesting is has a different shape and unique in appearance compared to original pieces. Some of the parts are there to add on to the multi-purpose rooms so you can have a little notch to place furniture. To select the shape you want for you building, you click on the type of room you want to use and then a drop down of shapes from which you can select if you want.
Note: You may connect tunnels to room extenders.
New Specialized Base Parts for Base Building
As the game progresses, we players should get more base parts that make our bases more useful to use in our quest to survive and escape the planet. These rooms should be designed with specific tasks in mind which helps us organize our tasks. Each of these rooms should have the same type of shapes as other rooms.
New Furniture and Objects for Our Base
Right now there isn’t much furniture or objects to decorate your base, at times it looks rather bland and boring which leads to places reverting to basic copy paste type of bases. We need more variety in this aspect so players will have fun building their bases and maybe hold contests to see who builds the best base of them all.

Snap Toggle Features
This feature is a toggle. Each part of base building would multiple notches you can snap other parts, object, and furniture to if you want to perfectly align things. If you don’t want to perfectly align things and make them skewed, you just toggle the snap feature off which gives you what we have now in Subnautica. Basically this is to help aid those in base building, allowing for more creativity or perfect alignment of objects. To maximize the use of space inside the Multi-Purpose rooms or other parts of the base building feature.

Comments
all of these are awesome, but the snap feature in particular would be great.
Glad you like the suggestions, I was thinking along the lines of Fallout building system for this game except with snap toggle feature added. It would make things much easier and the other suggestions are there to give more variety. To be honest, I would love different shape pieces that would allow for unique base designs instead of just basic octagon shape which leads to copy paste builds.
