Pleas fix the Expedition Station Building

[Dragisnaj]

The Building is way to big and clunky you cant properly set it down becaue you are in the way anything else is in the way, and i tondt want to destroy my whole Base only to be able to set down this new building and than start building anew all around it .... even if you put it in your Tower it blocks the ways of the floor beneath ....

There is a reason they gave you 20 bases now...you can just pop one down solely for dungon purpose. since the pals come right out of your box, you don't need to concern yourself with food or anything aside from storage for the loot they bring back.

edit: to clarify, I am not saying its isn't annoying and overly huge, but its also not like you have to build a base around it either, most people even before there were 20 bases had a "throw away" or "spare" base.

I understand you, of course, but you probably haven't played this game before you wrote this. You literally have requirements to upgrade your base, according to which you need to build a building for expeditions. And only after the construction of this building will you have an additional base.

[Dragisnaj]

yes you can do that but i have 1 base that i build that i like and i build it with a nice garden i even destroyed everything in the Garden and stil cant playce it ... and there is no return button. i dont want have the need to build a whole Base only to be able to set down the explorer thing.

[Dragisnaj]

i would rather have the option to lose 1 Base and build 1 that is twice as big so i can fit everything in. if you build the baeses you have always a very small garden because you need so much place and another problem is that your Base Claiming is a Circle but you have 0 Circular Foundations or walls

[Noop]

I was very suprised to see it that big while we dont have a lot of space inside our bases still.
I also had to build it on a higher foundation cuz it wouldnt let me put it on the ground.

Would like to see it changed too, this is too scuffed.

Well, after update i recommend to choose spot for first base wisely. But if you don't know about new progression, you probably get some problems.
Anyway you can freely deconstruct any buildings you already build and build exploration site. You only need 3 buildings to do to unlock base level up, after it you can freely deconstruct it again and build same things that you have before.
At least this is how i make it.

I don't know your situation. But I don't see a problem with putting it on a separate base, like you put a separate base just for raid bosses. I put it on my oil extracting base, where I had a lot of free space.
But, I was already level 55 and had a lot of progress before the update, so I don't know how much it hinders new players.

Anyway, I moved my very first base (let's call it my home base) 3 times until reach 55 level (and even now I am planning to perhaps, again, move it, and improve the layout, to a new island). So, I think you still won't keep your first base in its original form until you get to level 55+. Most likely, you will move sooner or later to a better place (or more beautiful for you), so, prepare in advance.

[Dragisnaj]

i moved my Base already and i also was 55 i had my new base on the last added island with a nice way to the water. and i used it to build a productiv yet beautiful base. and i have 0 space to fit that monster in. and you can have an expedition for each base. I build it now in my Brreding Base but still its ugly as s.... and big i needed to palce ot o the roof to fit.

ngl...about this new building the whole "ground" part is kinda meaningless and drains most of the space,also the rocks actually have a bigger hitbox than what they show,probably by removing that "ground" ,putting the "summoning" circle closer to the mine entrance,and reducing the "stone" section behind the mine this build could be way more enjoyable,but otherwise i really appreaciate the ability to get Cores without the need of Raid bosses and easier Cavern Mushrooms farming.

Research center that needs a library of knowledge, pal doing experiment, laboratory things and more = 1 small bike size slot.

Expedition that is just sending pals out of door = 1/4 of base.

Both the Expedition Station and the item retrieval machine are kinda needlessly large.

If it was me I'd get rid of the Pal teleportation and reduce the Expedition Station to just the mine, I'd also put a big timer over the top of it as a holographic projection. Maybe even let the players change the color and style of it.

And probably at least cut the Retrieval Machines conveyor belt in half to reduce it's footprint. My old primary base has almost nothing in it and I still can't find a place to set the Retrieval Machine that won't cause the Pals pathing to totally implode and not be a mile from the Palbox.

Really? What I would do is ditch the mine, and make the expedition station 2 teleporters + a console. Portal A links to the palbox, Portal B links to the designated cave, and the console is where you designate the cave.

I dunno I like the dungeon aesthetic of the cave and removing the portal segment would reduce it to about the size of the large ore mine, which is at the edge of the bulky constructions that I'm comfortable trying to cram into the small base circle that we get.

Tho it would be an interesting twist if an upgraded tier of the Expedition station was a more compact form of the Expedition Station. I think the only station I've seen that takes the trend of going smaller was the new tier of Pal Sphere conveyor.

You can do that at any base and still get the upgrade, Pal box progress is shared throughout the game

[Shift]

At least it's not just me. I wouldn't be so mad if it weren't for the fact the game requires 1 per base in order to upgrade the palbox itself.

U even read what u replied to.

This expedition building is REQUIRED to even unlock the ability to get ur second base.

U cant even do what ur saying if u aren't at base lvl 10 to even be able to build a second base
