The big payoff from venturing out to the Floating Island<\/a> is that we now have the pieces needed to start farming food<\/strong> in the Seabase. Edible plants also provide a source of H2O, meaning that as long as you’re in the area around your base you no longer need to consume fish or bottled water<\/strong> – those things can be reserved for longer trips away from home, and you can stockpile cured fish to bring on those missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Building Above the Surface<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In our early game Seabase build<\/a> we created a tiny base underwater. Now, with the newly acquired blueprint for the Multipurpose Room<\/strong><\/a>, we can easily build a much larger indoor space that will provide enough room to set up a food farm, and can accommodate advanced indoor devices like the Bioreactor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than adding on to the old base, we’re going to build a whole new Seabase just above the surface of the water. The reason for putting it above the surface is that base pieces that are not submerged don’t count against your Hull Integrity<\/strong> limit. This allows us to build a large seabase out of just Titanium and not have to worry about acquiring Lithium in order to reinforce the Seabase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
