I use the Cyclops as a mobile base. It stays near the surface and I drop down using my Seamoth which carries all the upgrades inside its tiny inventory which allows me to swap them out according to circumstances (need sonar? Swap. Battery running low? Add the charger. etc.) . The exception is when I need to dive real deep because my Seamoth only goes to 900 - with upgrades, the Cyclops goes much deeper even though it's a pig to steer.
I lined the walls of the docking bay with storage compartments and stuff all resources inside. Then when I find a good place, I load my inventory with the resources to make a moon pool + scanner room + battery charger and build that on the spot. The scanner helps me find resources (with HUD mod of course) and the moon pool and battery charger allows for quick entry to charge batteries. I try to space these "bases" at least 500-600 meters apart AND I keep at least 15 fully charged batteries on the Cyclops so I can last quite a long while before needing to recharge.
This way I'm having a ton of fun - having to return to my base every time became a nuisance and I hated having to spread all the resources around different bases. My Cyclops has around 30 storage compartments (if not more) and I fabricate everything on-board. It does drain power quite a bit but I also keep enough resources to fabricate more batteries if needed so I never run out.
My main beef with the game, is that some things are too scarce or hard to find. For example, I hit a wall where I HAD to find nickel. After several hours of diving at deep points, exploring the lost river, I turned up zero. I gave up, Googled and discovered you have to find the large tree in the lost river - only there, you'll find nickel. Just enough to do the upgrades and build the next part of the rocket.
If the game guided you towards it, I would understand but there's no clues. It's not even easy to find - the lost river is dark with tons of different entrances and exists and it's HUGE - not to mention there's quite a lot of nasties.
Basically, what this game needs is a map. Considering there's mods for sonar and all sorts of fancy gadgets, it's beyond me why it would be impossible to have a mod that maps the surroundings. This way, players can properly explore - it's more rewarding not feeling lost and it also means you can orientate yourself. Using F1, you can see your coordinates but it would be good if they could integrate that into the game.

Sweet I didn't know they would stack! I'll definitely try that - the extenders are dead cheap to produce anyway.
Anyone else find that copper is actually one of the hardest materials to keep in stock? Diamond, gold, even silver I never run out of but I'm always looking for more copper. It's used in sooo many things and copper wire is needed for half the recipes it seems.

I think the devs are against that idea. But I would find it pretty cool if you had a map room, that basically integrates and stores data from sonar capable devices to produce an explorable map and perhaps allows setting of points on the HUD.
Maybe with some restrictions so you cant just map the game with a fly-by:
- Slow data aquisition, at least for items, similar or slower than the scanner room perhaps
- Restrict data volume storage for scanners before unloading needs to occur
|
I had the impression as well that the dev did not want to incorporate it but the way the game is designed right now, you REALLY need a map unless they stop hiding vital resources in hidden parts of the game world. Like you showed with your examples, there's plenty of ways to make the mapping more organic and less automatic. Having to ping to add to the map, for example (drains energy + requires the mods).
Right now, you got to spam tons of beacons to create a network allowing you to orientate yourself but beacon icons really get in the way so you constantly have to turn them on and off again.

Lost river -> scanner room -> nickel -> profit $$$$

Dont count on it. I just recently asked myself the same question and only found vehement supportes of yes an no, but no proof either way. So yes, do not count on it.

That had me confused for a while as well. I went through the lost river for a good bit, but couldn't find any nickel. Had to get my prawn to go down into the acid to find good amounts.

I just wish the game would name the areas and notify you when you enter/leave it. Maybe you don't even need a map after a while with this. I had to google all the names and pictures of how they look.
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

@Il_Padrino
You can see your current zone with F1. Though it doesn't really help much either without a map, yes.

Can anyone give some advice for the storage/inventory struggle at the beginning? How did you guys manage without going to the base every few minutes? I was about to go to the second distress call when I last played.

If you have the habitat builder (you can get this within about 5 minutes), you should be able to make a simple corridor with an entry hatch and a solar panel on top. Jam it full of storage lockers and a fabricator and you're good to go.

Knowing where I wanted to set up my base early on made me avoid the inventory struggle for the most part this playthrough. Previous times I dropped down 2 or 3 waterproof lockers near my lifepod.

Indeed the floating containers do suck.
None of this really saves you from going back and forth though. Sufficient lockers only means that at least you can easily evacuate your inventory almost completely.

BTW, let's say i build a base somewhere and start hoarding stuff.
Then i want to settle somewhere else.
How am i able to carry over all the stuff to the new place?
Also i read yesterday by accident about building teleporters in your bases during beta. Is this still a thing?
