Simple Suggestion. Add specific base piece for entering underwater. + More entrance types.

Loving the game, but one thing that bugs me, just for realism sense is that you can enter your base underwater via the little circle door. The Moon Pool makes sense, as its air stuck inside the building and therefore holding the water back.
Suggestion 1: is to make a new piece you build just before that circle door, simply called "Entrance". It's a piece half the size of a normal straight piece to your base, and you tack the door onto the end of that. It has a bulkhead door on 1 side, and the circle door on the other. When you enter the base, you're in a small room filled with water. If the base is powered, it will do what it usually does and drain the water, allowing you to enter the base without flooding it. Once the water is drained you can open the bulkhead door.
Suggestion 2: Like the Moon pool, make a piece very similar again to the normal straight base piece, but which has the end of the floor cut out on 1 side. A mini Moon Pool style of entrance, where you swim up from underneath and climb a ladder to get in for quick and easy access. (The downfall of this one though is that its a bit of a bigger hit to the durability of the base since part of it is cut out, while the slower water drained entrance actually increases the durability due to the bulkhead door)
Suggestion 3: Above Water entrances. Sliding Doors, or normal doors that tack onto the end of the base piece, and makes a more "home" like look. (Only works above water)

They really really need to rework the whole ''building a base above water'' concept as it is currently a real PITA
Wanna build a castle there? Good luck my friend!
That bolded part stood out to me. It would be really cool in the future to see other structure materials. Like even an upgrade to the terraformer, that sucks up materials and makes building blocks out of them. Suck up rock from the sea floor. 1 "rock" (a second of sucking up stuff with the terraformer), = 1 stone block.
Yea and if you could build your bases more complex, instead of "you can't place that there", why the heck not??! If you have such a good base design but can build due to the buildings are too close.
