Will creatures attack your base?

[mhm_cake]

I'm assuming if you decide to build a base right next to a Sea Dragon Leviathan, he won't take too kindly to your stunt and will proceed to tear your base a new hatch. Is my assumption correct, or can I have a Dragon outside my window as decoration for my living room?

Nope. They might bump it trying to eat you on your way in, but they won't attack the base itself. Regardless, one would recommend not building within the territory of a leviathan.

Well that's not fully true, the Sea Dragon can attack your base but its more of the indirect sense so if they shoot a fireball attack at you while your heading back to your base this attack can cause damage to your base if it ends up missing you.

If it hits my base with a fireball, I simply have to repair the holes with a repair tool?

seadragon leviathan, tiger plants. The crabsquids will use their emp against bases with exterior lighting. however with all of this being said. no creatures will attack your base outright, the ai does not allow them to target it. but indirect hits can cause damage. the crabsquid is the only one that can remotely attack it, and even then they are aiming for the lights.

I've had a Sea Dragon nuke a Thermal Power Plant outside my base, but I believe that was because it was targeting something else. They can't aggro or target your base, but in Subnautica I've personally witnessed base damage from Sea Dragons.

In Below Zero, Squid Sharks can cause constant hull breaches in your base, which require frequent repairing, or removal of said Squid Shark.

Or you can trap them in your Moonpool and build foundations up under them and section that part of the base off with Bulkheads.

I made base in BZ with scanner room in the lily pad area near plenty of Squid Sharks.
None of them ever touched my base.

wrong subnautica homie

Nothing will attack your base directly or while you are in it, but your base may sustain indirect damage from creatures attempting to attack you before you enter it. This can result in hull breaches and flooding.

Tell that to dragonbrynza cause i was just replying to him regarding his post about BZ Squid Sharks damaging the base.

Check in at 2:00 and observe the Squid Shark's behavior. It is aggoring, making it charge, attack, and aggro calls, but no small prey fish around. It's attacking my base.

2:53 You can see through a window of my Multipurpose Room base is already flooding with water.

Rest of the video you can watch as I repair hull breaches, talk about my base, and continue to get new hull breaches as I continue to repair them.

And here's proof of having Squid Shark pets in your Moonpool.

Basically, but I've never had that happen to any of my bases as where I would build it would be outside of the Sea Dragon's detection range.

That is so weird o.O
They don't bother my base at all when i built it there.

They didn't even bother my parked modules there either.

EDIT: That video was posted over a year ago so probably that's why. Most likely it was a bug that is no longer present ingame and likely reason why i can't reproduce this.

Thanks for all the replies!

I haven't played the game in a while, but I can load it up and visit Deep Blue and see if the Squid Sharks are still acting this way.

There is a creature in the game, which does an EMP attack, which can affect your base if built near their habitat, while they're hunting the natural prey in the area.
