Point of a large base?

[Redd]

Why bother have a large base? You can fit mostly everything in a 4-5 room base, and a moonpool. Theres little point.

Am I just missing something here?

They look cool

Most of the large (as in massive 20 room deals with multilevels) bases you may have seen are done with console cheats and not gathered via normal gameplay. Thus easy to put together.

Or probably just Creative mode, but yeah, not practical.

I use big bases to store large aquariums. Especially late game when I have far more titanium than I will ever use.

it depend how you approach the game. This tend to be a very personnal choice:

Usually i tend to make a cosy "large" (but not too much as i like thing to stay functionnal reducing uneeded back and forth between room) main base, and many smaller outpost around the world with the basic survival stuff and a moonpool. (also for now i ""almost "never" use the cyclop as i prefer the seamoth manoeuvrabilty and speed + rechargeable aspect)

titanium is easy to get after the ship blows, seamoth fragments everywhere for 2 titanium each one you scan after you get the blueprint.

its just overkill with the amount of those fragments i find in my game at the moment, lol

free titanium for a long time, so building my base by a thermal vent for power means i can go large for farming and fish breeding complexes

Bases didn't have much of a purpose, until now. Breeding, eggs and plants have finally given them a use. That along with the fact that you can no longer attach solar panels to the cyclops (which all but obsoleted bases before).
