Is there a mode to just build underwater bases?

[*| Lion Heart |*]

Hi, i was wondering is there a way to just build underwater bases? Without any story line, or resource collection? Or does anyone know of any other types of games that allow for such a thing? Thank you.

When you start a new game you are given four options.
Survival. The normal one.
Freedom. No need for food/water.
Hardcore. You only have the one life.
Creative. Nothing can kill you, everything can be made for no cost, go nuts.

Most common reason I have used the creative mode was to test out new bases and/or how they might fit in the new place I wanted to build them before heading over to a survival game for the real thing.
Other times it was just because "why not?".

Beware: exploration spoilers below

If you're playing Creative mode, I recommend a base in the safe shallows, Lost River near the giant cove tree , off of the crater's edge and in the Dunes near some of the holes where there is coral and the like. Best places for a balance of pretty environment and cool Fauna.

The second spoiler, off of the crater's edge has some spectacular fauna, and while there is no flora there, the game triggers giant leviathans that constantly try to kill you but cant damage your base. Its a super cool place to build and observe them though it is noisy as all hell

Edit: also building on the floating island is cool. I've built several above ground bases there, and since theres no water pressure you don't have to worry about the base losing pressure and leaking

I've spent quite a few enjoyable hours in Creative mode just putting together a large and lovely base.

If that's what you most enjoy, have at it.
You can actually still play through and complete the game's story in Creative mode just fine as well.
So keep that in mind as you play.
