How to build a base?

[yubaix]

I'm planning on moving towards the big mountain island What should I bring and how do you make a base? side note: my main home right now is the lifepod

You need to first craft the base builder tool in your fabricator, though I'll assume you did that much.

If your main home is your lifepod, where have you been keeping all your materials? Waterproof lockers are small, suck, and probe to a history of bugs (Even for launch, I've seen people reporting them somehow getting stuck to the ceiling of the inside of their lifepod).

So any base building project, you need the raw materials first. And for something as far away as the islands from your lifepod. You're gonna want some form of vehichle at minimum to make carting materials back and forth easier, until you can at least get a base powered and with it's own fabricator.

Honestly your first step should be some hallways (or MP rooms if you have those unlocked) stuffed full of lockers by your lifepod. Then you branch out from there. (trying to live out of a cyclops with no bases in the early game is dumb, with no way to recharge it but to craft more power cells. Unless you're sequence breaking to skip straight to thermals and infinite ions).

You need a habitat builder, a potato load of titanium, some lead, some lithium, and glass. Some other stuff will be helpful too, but that's the main stuff.

a ton of matarials, unless you want to travel back and forth, for a basic base, a load of titanium, quartz, some copper, gold, Tabel coral samples and few other things, it depends on which island the mountain or floater

Thanks for all the help also I don't have that much stuff I actually use like acid mushrooms so I just keep 3-4 waterproof lockers at the island at all times
