Blue biome base
Sup' lads and lasses, here is the deal. Ive tryed to google, search and read but didn find any specific guide to base building in blue biome on aberration. We all know that the problem here is nameless. So how do i provide my base with charge light to make it constantly safe place in whole biome? I dont want to plant Z everywhere or make over 9k bulbdogs wandering around.. Any other ways?

So you want to cover the area in charge... Without using things that make charge.

Your only practical solution is just remove the nameless entirely I think. Otherwise you have to have charge around you at all times.

I suppose enough turrets and you'd kill everything. But good luck keeping them loaded lol

Build a stone or higher teir base on stilts. They will still spawn but wont be able to get inside your base. They will just wander around outside on the ground. You can also place a Z plant inside your base. The light itself does not prevent spawns, it only gives players in range a charged buff which is what prevents spawning. So you could have half a million bulb dogs wandering around but as soon as you find a little gap and lose the charge buff, nameless will spawn reguardless of charged light untill you regain the charged buff.

Hmmmmm....So basically i might have 2-3 light pets with pumped light capacity and , for example, Z plant or charge node near my house and just wander around with pet on my shoulder? And when it will be low on charge ill go to plant and wait\take another pet and let the first one rest? I MEAN i dont have to cover all my base with light, having personal buff is enough? Nameless wont spawn near my other dinos\structures if im away?

As long as you're solo yes. But remember any player nearby without the buff is going to cause them to start spawning.

We built our base using stone cliff platform near the top of a spire in the blue zone and have not had any nameless spawn.

You really only need one good pet, but having a few back ups doesnt hurt incase you die due to something. I have a bulb dog with 3k charge and it lasts me over an hour.

Nameless only spawn for players so tames would be safe ish. Like Eminence said, if another player comes near with out charge it can spawn namless. I built my base in the blue well off the ground, about 7 pillars up. I dont even need charge while im inside due too being high up.

You dont need ever squar inch covered in light just as long as you can keep the charged buff inside your base you'll be fine. You can let your pet rest while you are in range of the z plant.
