Stacked cylindrical rooms

[largegroh]

I have several of these but can not figure out how to access any of them but t he first. I am sure it is easy to do but I am not seeing it. help please.

Build a ladder up to the next room.

You can also build a network of stairs and platforms around the central tower with holo-doors leading in.

[largegroh]

yes without the stuff off the cylinders. I have 3 high now and stopped to figure out how to get up to number 2 and 3. I found the ladders on anomoly but have to get some more salvage things to open them.

I did a base where I used stacked rooms, cause unless you are underwater there is no vertical connecting tube to use between rooms. I was able to connect two square rooms to a round one then stack three high on one. The other wouldn't let me stack saying invalid position. I suspect it had to do with the terrain, but I am not sure, then on the side with three stacked square rooms I connected a bio dome, that hovers over the center round room. Looks cool. And yes I used ladders. My biggest problem is getting off the ladder in the middle room. I am going to look into using external doors and stairs to go between 1 and 2 then 2 and 3.

I lost count of how many rooms Fractured Host has... it consumes so much energy...

Use the build camera for the first several. Then you may have to build temporary platforms outside the top level to continue up.

If you're going to make a really big skyscraper you'll probably want to put in some teleporters at regular intervals for faster travel up and down. You'd need to hang some extra rooms off the side to do this though as stacking them changes the height of the room. In a single un-stacked room you can put the teleporters anywhere inside, but in stacked rooms the height difference will only let you put them right in the center where the ladders go.

Two other options:

1. Use the Beyond Basebuilding mod, which would allow you to build vertical tubes. These are only good short range, though, as ladders don't work well with them and you have to jetpack between.
2. Unless you are using all that space, put teleports in the bottom and top rooms, then delete all the middle rooms.

thx again. i am staying with 4 vertical for now. i can't even thunk of what to use all 4 for now. may come to me though. lol
