Base Locations
So where is everyone placing their first main base? I want to put mine in the lilypad biome but it seems too far away from everything. I like how close a bunch of stuff is to the west side of the map with the eye jellies but the biome is just bland. I'm considering a base on land but I think I'd prefer underwater. Twisty bridges is another option I'm thinking of since it's kind of in the middle of everything.

So where is your base? Where are you planning to put one?

I put mine in the twisty bridges which was a mistake. So I moved it to the lillipads.

Why was it a mistake?

Early game: spiral bridges

Late game: entrance area to blue crystql cave.

Early: There is a 4 way which splits 3 biome (Twisty Bridges - Artic Kelp - Thermal Spires( And Close to Purple Vents)

Late: Blue Crystal Cave Under Marguerit's House side (There are termal outputs so good to steal some power)

Would you mind sharing coordinates for the early base? Thanks!

Because it's only useful for early game.

The ideal location would be where the omega lab or maguerit's is, but sadly i can't remove it, been searching for a similar location for hours, any suggestions?

First base: almost in the middle, right above Delta base. I always like to be in the middle of the map.

Later on I build smaller bases (moonpool + utility room) near the badly designed ice/surface area and near the crystal caves.

Early game: Nearl Delta Station in the Purple Vents Biome (adjacent to the lillypad biome).
Late-game: Next to Marguerites Base.

Or at least that's what I am currently choosing to do. Don't know if those are actually good locations but so far, it worked out for me.

Twisty bridges for me. It's awesome - so many different resources are easily accessible nearby (including the deep twisty bridges underneath it) and because of the ridiculous surface area, there's so, so many resource nodes.

Margeruite or near her base is to best location to build late game.

If you follow the 2 "lava" vents on the right side of her base and keep following the cave structure you'll reach a spot with a straight little drop to the blue crystal caves and plenty of heat vents around to use geothermal power.

It has easy reach to mine gold, silver, titanium, copper, quartz, kyanite, lithium, nickel ore, magnetite and rubies.

The only thing not easy in reach here is silicon rubber since i never had the full plant bloom when i use exterior growbeds.

I built mine on the Omega mountain in the Lilypad islans facing the entrance to the Crystal Caves. I feel like it has all I need and is close to everything I need. I also have a small little base on land in the Glacial Bay

edge of the twisted bridges and just shy of the main island

My base is the Sea truck, habitat is only a big warehouse with food, water and power supply

Plant the seed clusters in exterior grow beds, then you'll get the full plant.
