BobRoss Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 With 29/03 approaching, who else is curious about the underwater bases? are they going to use the TEK structures for the bases or implement entirely new structures for the bases? will it be with airlocks and anti-pressure systems? give me your ideas, im thrilled for this update on a side note, whats gonna be so special about the Mosa saddle? will it be related to these bases or something entirely different?

BigRed1227 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 My whole question with underwater bases is it going to allow people to block drops. I don't think they would allow it, but it's WC so u never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrist14 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I just hope that we can build what we want as long as it has a water pump or whatever, and that it isn't something that's constantly running and uses element like a generator uses gas. That's my worry and it would be annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utteroi Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Im usually optimistic, but probably gonna be a buggy mess where you will lose water tames and valuables, including element. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't talking about materials, either of those would be fine, I just meant that I hope it isn't like a premade pod thing that you place, like a tent for underwater. They just haven't said that much about it and that was a concern of mine. It seems like they have an issue establishing closed buildings, for example raining or sandstorms inside buildings. That's why I worried that maybe they wouldn't be able to manage it with any size/shaped structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacejam Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I just want underwater bases to not be reliant on element. I am yet to attack the bosses as I'm having some serious trouble finding rex's on my server that are worth the tame. so far we have come up with 2 level 125's. Everyone else is also having trouble locating any rex over 135. I kill and I kill and I kill every rex I see just having zero luck in getting a high levels and zero chance of getting element Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're basically just 1x1 squares that snap together. From my understanding from what I can see (and could be completely wrong) they're going to be very basic in terms of design. It's not going to be like how you build up on land where you can have holes everywhere, etc. Everything I've seen shows them as Tek Tier and random comments talk about some device required to maintain the air levels underwater inside the base so I assume that element will also be required, which sucks.

My guess which will be right is that you can use any structure like metal, make the base and they will have some sort of generator that sucks water out and seals it. You will have to have double doors for air air pocket because if you open a single door the flood gates will open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avadiator Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 i personally am hoping its a seperate set of structures made of metal/poly. it will be amazing, personally i love underwater, swimming all around 1k oxy and nothing touches u with swim fins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeta Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Personally I was hoping it was going to be available to us prim + players. There's a low tech equivalent of pretty much everything available to us but I hope this isn't one of the few exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1x1 cube matches the picture Wildcard used at GDC on the slide talking about underwater bases. So I think it's safe to say these ARE underwater structures. Hopefully there are more than these though or it's going to be pretty lame. Assuming they are tek free, they will be handy and better than nothing, but probably fall a long way short on what people hoped for underwater bases.

Mendoza Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I feel that underwater bases should be on the scale of accessibility of high end engrams BUT certainly pre-tek tier! --- Of course being able to replace these more "primitive" metal underwater base structures with the soon coming tek tier versions.
