Expand base range?

[Naii Starwing]

Is there a setting to increase base radius yet? I got goals, but this tiny circle's taking tolls.

[Suzaku]

Nope.

Build upwards.
They intended for you to expand vertically.

Mods are the answer. Check nexus.

Build vertical, not horizontal. there is basically no limit how you can go up, this is how devs wanted us to build, not horizontal.

Brah, Pals can hardly find their way around a flat, barely-constructed clearing. You expect these guys to be able to path into a big tower structure?

pals operate fine in a vertical base if you make the stairs two wide and the roof 3 tall, more over you can alwayz have more then one base near eachother joining them

Can you look at my screenshot? can you see the big ASTEGON up there? they do go up without any issue, if you plan well your pathing (as i did on my base) they never get stuck.

My base is one stair wide, roof 2 tall. Works fine.

I guess mine were just stupid.

Not really, it's very very important the posistion you place the stairs. If you look how i did it, my stairs are all on the external perimeter of the structure, that's how they don't get stuck. If you place a stair inside the structure, not around it, they get stuck.
So you most likely had stairs in a different position, that's why it did not work for you.

You reach a point where leveling up the base is useless.
After the point where the level doesn't bring nothing new, it shoul expand the area in 1 in game metter for each level.
Im building upwarda but there are some structures that are impossible to accommodate like the expedition cave.
And the summoning altar.... that must be allowed to be built outside the base, that ♥♥♥♥ is brutal

I have my expedition on a similar structure of the one i linked here, and it is at the top of it, 4th floor.
So no, it can go up and it works up there.
Can log in and do a screenshot later if you want.

Summoning altar, i totally agree. you need a dedicated base only for that. Specially because it will destroy everything around it so you don't want it on your work bases.

I do have a walled base on Feybreak's mountaintop. It's got a "fling frame" on the four sides of it to go gliding from. Even though I have decay off (I love building random nonsense everywhere), It's scraping the upper limit, and tall enough to get me anywhere on the island.

Also, as long as their is a legitimate path to the area (no flat roof on a vertical wall with no stairs) you'll receive the "Pal could not reach X, started to work in place"

So as long as they aren't a transporter, you're good

That's not 100% true. Once you get so high, they won't go up there on their own any more. For me I build my floors to be 5 stories tall, and it's the 4th or 5th floor where it happens. That is however large enough to do everything you need all in one base. If you up it to a 50 pal limit, you can do everything in one base and still be able to run 4 to 6 breeding fams in that same base.

It also will stop trying to pull from the chests on the lower levels if you want to keep building. But you can still force pals to work up there by assigning them to whatever stations you put up there. You can tell you are getting close because at some point there will be a line halfway through yourself and everything on that floor. That's basically your limit to have it all work perfectly as intended. If you keep building taller after that, weird things can happen.

Seems we getting different experience, for me they really go up and work up to 5 floors, no issue at all. But i believe you saying it does not for you, i'm pretty sure the positioning of stairs and the amount of space you leave for them on the new floor to run around the corner, makes the difference.
As rule i always leave much more space that it looks to be needed, just to be on the safe side and so far it paid off .
I also have to say that i never raise the pal limit, my bases run with the standard 14 or 15 pals that is supposed to be used by default settings, and that may also help the pals to not cross paths and be stuck with other pals.
