Best base location? Tenant farms?
Hi all,
I am probably 80% of the way through the game, with access to nearly limitless resources, but my base looks like utter crap. There are just soo many different options with different planets, anything in particular I might want to consider?

I am also considering incorporating a bunch of tenants somewhere in my base... per Vanilla, they give far superior rewards based on the planet tier. Does this trend continue here all the way up to Tier VIII? A lot of the new random drop weapons are quite sexy, and level 8 versions could potentially blow all the crafted stuff out of the water.

Went through 3 different metal world/ cyber world/ cyber moon locations and no spare parts :( plus I only have 3 robots unlocked so far, anything I am missing here?

I am quite horrible at making bases that look nice, cozy, and lived in, so I think I will go for an intimidating pyramid made with black glass and some other cool tiles.

Ah one other question I should have included: do environmental hazards affect tenants? The cost of a bunch of environmental regulators isn't that bad, but I will have to incorporate into base design.

In vanilla, planetary effects dont affect tenants/monsters, but i have seen madness affect monsters. Not sure if it will affect tenants

Well I can confirm environmental effects do not harm tenants. On a level 8 planet I got level 7.3 gear, compared to lvl 8 white gear from merchants on my fully upgraded ship.

No need for money from tenants, but I would love to farm me some lvl 7.3 blue gear. A lot of the procedurally generated loot is quite awesome. New weapons + new abilities.
