Habitat keep taking damage, full of holes

[Greasy_Potato]

So iv, just built my habitat, and as soon as i finished buildign my solar panel. The Habitat started filling with water, and a lot of holes accured. In the top right corner it says:
"Damaged due to weak hull strength of -0,75! Build reinforcements or remove weak parts (x114)"
So what do i have to do to fix this? Am i supossed to reinforce all walls of the habitat.. Thats a lot of lithium and titanium i have to find...

Lithium or you can add bulkheads, which just need titanium and rubber I think. I don't want to spoil anything for you so let me know if you want to know more.

Have you tried reinforcing just one wall? That might be enough to bring the hull strength back up to a positive number.

Put a foundation below (+ struct. strength) and remove windows (- struct. strength). Furthermore you can find and scan a bulkhead door which strengtens greatly.

No, each wall you reinforce adds 7 to your hull strength. So, just add enough to keep it positive (I like keeping mine above 10 actually so I can add things without worring about reinforcing first). Foundations add 2 if I remember right. Thing about foundations, you just need 1 that is partiall under your base, and then as long as you add more to that first one, it counts, even if you don't have any base directly on top of it. I do this to make an area for my outdoor garden while helping reinforce my main base.

If you're at -.75 then 1 reinforcement should be enough to bring you back to safe level.

Everytime you build a new room/corridor it weakens the base a bit. Some rooms like the Moonpool will drop your integrity a lot but usually its only about -2 per segment. A reinforcement should give either +7 or +9 to integrity. Lol, going from memory here so might be off a tad on values but theres a chart on wiki if you want to get the exact numbers

Allright ill try it guys. Thank yall

Water pressure is a powerful thing. Foundations, reinforcement, and bulkheads will prevent your base from bursting at the seems. Adding hatches, windows, and rooms will weaken it. Every time you attach a new piece, a little message will pop up in the corner telling you what you're hull strength is and how adding that piece affected it. Furthermore, building at deeper depths will increase the negative affects of adding to your base.

Wait... where can i place the bulkhead, cant seem to put it on the habitat..

[Reppoc850]

Bulkhead is an interior component. Build it between segments

[Will pick sniper]

bulkhead can be placed on long corridor.

In your particular case either one Bulkhead or one Reinforcement Panel will fix your problem. A Bulkhead adds 2 to your Hull Integrity, Reinforcement Panels add 7 to your Hull Integrity. Depth is also a consideration. For every 100 meters in depth, you need additional reinforcement.
