It’s built around a monument as well as into the local cave system. I really like how it’s turning out. It’s a shame the planet is a bit of an infested hellscape.

    You build bases for different reasons. If you’re building some kind of farm (mineral, stasis device, nanite, etc.), then your focus is less about how it looks and more about making the best farm. After all you only get 3000 parts maximum if you want the base to be uploadable. A shack with a trade terminal and a portal is perfectly fine in that case.

    I’ve actually never played in creative mode but it would be a good way to figure out a couple of quirks in building. The parts under Large Structures are pretty much interchangeable. They work the same ratios and can be put together in different configurations without many issues. The Timber, Stone, and Alloy Structures work on a different ratio than the Large Structures. While it’s easy to hang one off the other, if you want something cohesive, there are only certain combinations that result in valid connections and line up.
