    Well, firstly, the Aurora would probably have had issues with the tidal forces created by that huge, close, incredibly fast moon. As would anyone living in that ocean, as the tides would probably be half a mile high (and yes…

    I think there are ways to salvage this with just a few datapad entries and the like. The exposition is easy to change, and could alter my view of the precursor plot. But I'm definitely disappointed that "winning" means escaping the…
  • I think part of my problem is I'm running up against the limitations of an unfinished game. I keep asking myself, OK, what do I want to do with my seabase? Build it and make it purty, obviously. But then? Use it as a base for exploration... of what?…
  • Yeah, I keep coming back to the safe shallows, myself. Last night I tried to build on the bridge between the mushroom forest and the koosh zone that was suggested in this thread -- a really neat location, but I couldn't place a moonpool such that it…
  • Actually, I want to change 30% of the gameplay, not kill it. And I never said your seabase was ugly. :) I merely meant that th…
  • Thank you very much! That link is most helpful.

    I was already trying to build without deforming the terrain, for aesthetic reasons. Every time the terrain has deformed for me, bits got left behind. I don't want to look at a floating piec…
  • I finally managed to get my little Aurora Base built, with a moonpool I can live with:

    Not sure why I put a bunch of observatories on top. They may depart soon. Or…
  • Wow, very purple! :)

    I thought about trying to build under the floating island, but I couldn't work out how. I've also co…
  • Excellent suggestions, thank you! I shall try to find them all to have a look.
  • Thanks -- I'd been looking through the Seabase Showcase thread, but in most of those you can only see a wee bit of the surrounding scenery. I was wondering what biomes appeal to people, aesthetically. The problem I keep having is that I'll find some…
  • I understand water pressure. I don't understand a SEABASE made of TITANIUM collapsing under the "pressure" of less than two meters of water. That's not enough to collapse a plastic water bottle filled with air. Not even one of the "environmentally f…
  • OK, I'll try more tomorrow. Could you give me a hint as to how you accomplished this feat? Did you build the moonpool first, or the things it connects to? Were you facing a particular direction? Maybe I need to find a different location, where one o…
  • By the way, this is all I wanted. I would LOVE to build this:

  • I really don't get the logic of this. If I "weaken" my seabase, it springs leaks and floods. This makes sense 20,000 leagues down... but so near the surface that I could stand on the roof and breathe easy, I can't install glass corridors, windows, o…
  • This thing is going to drive me completely mad, you know. Admittedly, I was more than halfway there already....

    I was able to build a simple base of two rooms and a moonpool. And then I discovered that either the guide I found online is …
  • Thanks! I'll try those suggestions. I get that this is not a finished product yet, so no complaints when there are bugs. I signed up for early access, after all.

    Regarding the moonpool, it may connect to the base once I try these suggest…
