I absolutely LOVE this base. I just wish it was all level, so I could put it on every planet I am on. Lol.

@Cooperivan Thank you for confirming. It's even more sad considering that this has been a known issue for at least a year and so many blueprints or attempts at building were severely affected by the unpolished SI mechanism, notably jrandall's 'Foundation XL.' There's not much to hope for seeing that devs might have already lost their attention as well, but one can still dream.

P.s.: I sure can opt for a design that grows vertically to completely ignore the problem with SI, but it'd defeat my purpose of having extra distance before HV fire can reach the central module and possessing the nasty firing angle especially against SV.

I found the problem... it was indeed the issue of "SI goofing up"... sometimes a server will just show something as having no SI, if it is too far from you, and then things will just start breaking... sadly.

@Cooperivan Can you specify or send a screenshot showing where the broken part is? From the 2 last times I checked and updated some of its texture including a moment ago I've failed to detect where it could be.
This may or may not be your case, but I must add that spawning the large base (~200m) too far away from the player can result in the SI "goofing up," as it completely ignores any terrain actually touching the structure beyond certain range. If your base collapsed on the far side, this might actually be your case.
Although you might already done this, I'd like to suggest you spawn the base in space, creative mode, and see if any part of the base is still missing from what is seen in the preview. This can help rule out the SI issue.

Why is part of this base broken?

@juyayay Thanks!

epic!

@Apollyon Glad to hear it! Sorry that I couldn't find out how the base looks like tho...Guess I have a series to watch now :D

This is very cool man! It reminds me a base from a Firefly episode.

Thank you! @bobo8734

Gorgeous - I wish I could build this!

Nah, it looks great. Jeff has great taste in color combinations so definitely take it as a compliment!

Was taking after my sensei right there lol @Bonedog. I personally love going black & white with some purple tint. Might have went a bit overboard with the detail this time tho...

looks like jrandall's color palette lol

Much better than caffeine-fueled motivation is gotta be your kind words, jrandall. Thank you very much! o7

Amazing base complex! I love it! Very tough and well defended and excellent attention to detail. Needless to say, excellent work!
