MoonPool seems to prevent Multipurpose Room placement anywhere near it (see details)

As seen in CohhCarnage's stream. The MPR should have been able to be placed easily, and I-corridors could be placed, but MPRs could not.

Didn't nab a clip quick enough, sorry. Can add later when it hits YouTube.

    I've got a MPR directly connected to a Moonpool. It was finicky to align and could very well be affected by how close/what level you were at when trying to place. I do think the game rather encourages putting a corridor between such rooms as Moonpool/MPR but it can be done. I'm currently quite a ways away from that structure but I can post a screen later when I finally return if you'd like.

    Without having watched the stream though, I'm assuming the Moonpool was placed first and MPR second? I've always started with the MPR in my games so I wouldn't know how finicky the Moonpool nodes are when being used as the centerpiece.

    Just started a Creative game to quickly check and was able to attach an MPR to a Moonpool after building the pool first. I did have to adjust my location a little to get it to line up in a way the game accepted.

    Might be the other MPRs in the area. I'll have to link the YouTube vid when I get off work.

    I can’t count the number of play throughs where I dismantled my starting base to build a new one from scratch once I unlocked the Moon Pool. It really is just that hard to magically attach the Moon Pool to an existing base. In fact, I ultimately changed my entire play style around the idea that I would want to build a new base from scratch once I’d unlocked the Moon Pool...

    I just use the Lifepod until I've settled on where and how I wish to build my base. Its actually quite fun seeing how far one can get without building a base of any sort.

    Drop an X-Corridor right under the Lifepod with the hatch on the top or bottom, and fill it with standing lockers. Don't even need Solar unless you want the convenience of not worrying about O2 while you do inventory stuff.

    I prefer the challenge of the space limitation but I might try that out just for funsies.
