Degassi Jellyshroom cave base didn’t spawn

[CosmicYeowie]

I’m trying to get the water filtration system because there are no more baldderfish near the escape pod. I’ve gone to the co-ordiantaes of the underwater base in the jellyshroom cave. Watched countless YouTube videos and they all go to the same location. Yet in my game the base isn’t there? Anyone know what’s going on? Spent a good 3 hours already trying to figure it out.

I've seen it "materialize" into view when i've been pretty close to it. I could see the seafloor it sits on just fine.
but not the base itself untill it was about 100 meters away. was no blur or fog or anything. just didnt render till i was almost too it.

I fell into the base with a Prawn suit once. It literally spawned around me several seconds after I landed on the seafloor. I was hopelessly stuck of course.

I’ll try again and go to the spot and hope it spawns :(. I’ve sunk 16 hours into this and I can’t continue if I can’t get a reliable water source. ♥♥♥♥ this is frustrating. Literally surviving on Bulbo trees haha

Reliable water source for me before filtration system was just farming salt and coral sample and make bleach. That and marmelon seeds.

Stillsuit helped me more than any fuit/tree/fish would in a "no base" playthrough.

Yep I’ve been waiting here at the spot for 10 minutes. And it hasn’t materialized yet. Any console commands I could try?

[Zemecon]

There is one way around this.

First of all, open Windows Explorer (or your OS equivalent) and go here:
C\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Subnautica\SNAppData\SavedGames\slotXXXX\CellsCache\

Now scroll down and delete ONLY this file: batch-objects-13-17-10

What that will do is reset the entire batch location, allowing your game to load it back in again, hopefully with the Degasi base in it. If you want to save time, you can then type "Batch 13-17-10" into the console to waep to the vicinity. Repeat the cycle until it loads in.

Try the following:
1) Press F1 (opens Console)
2) Press F8 (to enable debug menu cursor)
3) Click the 'Clip mapping' tab
4) Click 'Rebuild All' button.

And if that doesn't work, try deleting that one specific 'cell' to clear the cache and have it rebuild it from scratch.
1) Under the F1 menu, look for 'Camera Batch #'
1a) The Degasi Jellyshroom base should be 13, 17, 10.
2) Quit the game and go to your Subnautica steam install folder. (typically C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Subnautica\SNAppData\SavedGames\slot000#) where slot000# is your current save game slot.
3) Look under the CellsCache folder
4) Look for the file 'baked-batch-cells-13-17-10.bin' (The .bin extension may not be visible if you turned off known file extensions)
5) Delete just that .bin file.
6) Restart Subnautica.

NOTE: I STRONGLY recommend NOT standing in the space where the base normally is when quitting the game. Stand on a coral or jellyshroom before doing this, or you may suffer a Perils of the Warp (stuck in solid matter) problem.

Get farming - Things like the Melons can easily be your only required source of food and water outside of very long trips away from a base or cyclops.

YEAHHHH THE BOYS! It worked! Thanks DeFragged and Salinité for the help. You're both bloody legends! Cheers lads!

I just found this thread, and am having the same issue for the first time. I'm near endgame, never saw this base, just found it in the wiki. Trying to get Degassi achievement.

Weird issue.

I accidentally built a base right where that base is supposed to be, building a scanner to look for the missing base, lol. Guess I have to deconstruct and reset.

The console options don't exist anymore, but confirmed that deleting the .bin file mentioned does fix the issue.

[Ilana]

Yeah, I’m having this issue too. Does any of this advice still work?
