My old base :) playing my main save on my desktop PC. It does look good but wow the power draw :)

Looks good! I hadn't realised that you could get away with putting solar panels underground (apparently) so I might try that to neaten up my base. I tend to build very functional bases but might redesign them once I've finished the main quest. Currently trying to find the autophage and then do the new purple systems questline after that.

Which ship are you using as your main? The Boundary Herald?

Thanks, this planet was very different when I first put this base here in 2021 :). First time I'm visiting it in awhile and just neatened a few things up.
You can use the underground, but honestly I like them out on top as they are supposed to be :).
Yeah for now as my all arounder for now. Though it's usually this or my sentinel. And it's the Century Turkey. As for some reason the name glitched back when I claimed it. So the name was $Ake$%
 
Trying my hand at base building, turns out one of the bases I had from yonder. Has got a gas spot near it, so building out towards it so I can have silo.
It also had C power generation which isn't great, but enough to build a power station on the hill. So will fix up the "wires" as well. Thinking of running lights down the hill along the ramp to make the wires follow the lights, instead of just long wires running everywhere. For power I'm running those + batteries and solar on roofs, so storage is high and of course all buildings have their own independent power just in case.
Near the power station, I'm building a portal/landing pad area, sort of make it like an airport waiting lounge type thing, so the landing pad is off to the one side and you go into a waiting area, one level up would be the "control" room for the portal and the landing pad. But need to clean it up, as working with the alloy walls and floors isn't easy.
There is also a living area, which has an alternate landing pad that leads into a lounge, there is a sort of kitchen that has the base computer, save point and a CRU. Next door is the bedroom and a little sitting room with a fireplace and aquarium. Also will work more on that :)
The storage units is quite far from the main base, it's placed there to be the middle point between the gas and it's silos.
Between the landing/portal zone and the storage units, going to build the place for all the terminals :). Those I'll use the round,cubiod and square rooms, to keep it more clinical and clean looking. Will also build short teleport units to the various locations.
Basically stripped my old base and started rebuilding.

You should share some of your pics here. I don't love the base building in this game as objects don't seem to snap as easily as I'd like. I'm a lazy base builder who just uses cuboids! I have some main story things I still want to finish in the game but maybe after that I should try building a proper base.

It's a work in progress at the moment :-).
The power station and storage areas are just cuboids, cause those need to snap together to allow the stuff to go in there :-).
I did share some pics in the Game Screenshots.

Yeah I saw your pics there, the base is looking good! I still want to try hiding all the solar power or else I guess I could try the power station idea you were talking about. I've never tried that whole hotspot thing.

I still put solar panels on the roofs :-) cause I want the buildings to be self sufficient, just in case :-). But you can put them in rooms and they'll still work through grounds.
Yeah the power station is the one on the hill in the pic

Sort of, but more a base limit than a I pipe limit.

Hmmm. I placed a mineral extractor out of my base limit and created pipes back to a supply depot. The minerals do not reach the depot. I created one closer to the extractor and that one works.

What I normally did is have two supply depots to feed it closer to the base where needed. So I'll have one close to the storage pods and one closer to the mineral extractor. But I do seem to find if the mineral extractor is outside base limits the pipes don't seem to work.

Would like some pics, Maybe you can join @Sundancer, other & I on a co-op game.

Myself, I'm a builder. New base in progress:
