How to build everywhere without Basecomputer?

[Kane]

Hi, i have resourcestowers far away from base and i try it to connect with pipes to my base, but i need to drop compter base every few distance, can i disable it to need drop a computer to access to build a base there?

if i use portal there are so much bases, it looks so stupid.

normally the ressource tower are already in a base

yes, i got one near a base, but i found another resource far from base and i need a resource tower to get the resources, this tower need a connect with a storage tower, i build one in my base, i need connect this two towers with pipes to get it work.

Short answer: you can't. Certain buildings need to be within base bounds.

Options:
1) There are techniques to expand the base bounds.
2) Build another base/computer.

I always go with option 2. I start every new base with a cuboid room, market terminal, teleporter and a bioreactor. Then, start building it into self-sustaining from there.

also you cant connect anything between 2 bases. it just doesnt work that way

You have to get used to how the game handles base border expansion, it's the only way to make electromagnetic generators useful for example.

There is a border around your base where crossing it causes your build menu to drop to portable only, but it does no prevent you from building past that point. So you go near the border and stand still, select a wood wall or something then look out beyond the border and place it as far as you can. Now if you go near that wall you just placed you will find it's projecting another smaller bubble of base around it, and you can repeat this process over and over until you are like 1000u away from your base computer if needed. You can easily connect a bunch of nearby hotspots to a single base this way.

This may not always work on the live version of the game, but it does on experimental.

Ok, that didn't work at first, BUT after i restarted the game it suddenly did. Thanks for the tip!
