Where do you place your Moonpool
Well, where do you place it ? At your Main Base or do you build an extra base for it ?

I place it onto my main base.

What use is a moonpool if it's not at your main base?

I have a 2 floor compact base and attatch it to the top floor, with my fabricator and storage in an adjoining multipurpose room.

E: The world is so small that only one base is really needed - The Cyclops is practically a mobile base, anyway.

I have multiple moonpools. If you power them appropriately, its basically a free charger.

Plus Ive never had an enemy damage my moth while its docked in a moonpool. So if I plan to fight something like a reaper deep down, I can do so without worry of losing my moth.

I generally build a Moonpool at my first base in the Safe Shallows to upgrade the Seamoth; once my main base in the Sea Treader's Path is powered, I deconstruct the Moonpool and move it there.
I will be putting one wherever I find a suitable camp for silver. The red grass area is so-so. Its never been an impressive place to find silver in.

I could see why people would set a moonpool seperatly for asthetic reasons. Terrain can also decide to tell you to go **** yourself for attaching it to the parts of your base, and in the direction you want, you personally prefer.

When I can manage it on Newbie Town, I prefer it to be a wing from my 5/6 tall primary tower. 2nd floor from the top I put a corridor on either side, one leading to a lengthwise moonpool, the other leading to... Well, it would be a Scanner room if they were not buggy as **** and also completly ****ing useless anyways.

I like 2-3 MP towers linked with corridors as a design preference, to be fair. a majority of my secondary tower space is alien containment anyways. I like splitting species, but I like them to still be 2 tall.

As much for asthetic reasons, as all sorts of wacky bugs I've dealt with when loasing my saves.... with spare lived ones in wall lockers to restock just in case.

"There. I've split my fish into different tanks. That should keep them all from turning into one species when I load my game while players blame me for it!" *Loading save kills half his reginalds and 17 out of 19 airsacks once the bodycount is finished* "...Why..."

I like to have a moon pool on every base. I place them near my workshop since they are also my primary grab stuff tool.

Anywhere you want or a place you feel comfortable with.

Mine is currently attached to my Safe Shallows base, along with my observatory and scanner room. All of these will be moved soon enough though, probably to the base I named Mushroom Heights, at the very top of the giant giant mushroom tree.

I generally try for a moon pool on every base. Though I always start my first base with moon pool at the border between the safe shallows, kelp forest, and grassy plateau. Usually above a hole or over the side of a cliff for easy access.

On my first save game I had several smaller outposts and my main base, all with moonpools and seamoth mod stations (more just for the text on the wall telling me my Seamoth is docked when I'm at whatever base I went to visit), and all done legitimately too. Since then I've pretty much only bothered to build one base, and I seem to have settled on a layout I'm content with. In all cases, I usually end up building the moonpool at the back of the base off one of the multipurpose rooms there (except at my Deep Grand Reef base in my current oldest file, where it's at the front, and the only entrance/exit to the base).
