Thanks for watching - I Suffered Through Building Subnautica's Biggest Ever Land Base - Hry
The fans on my PC could have powered a small submarine towards the end of this challenge...
Hope there wasnt a spider in there
i loved the music in the beginning man whats the name of it?
@@wiktorb6846 Hey Wiktor, the song used for the first 10 seconds or so is I Just Wanna Be Great (instrumental version) - by NEFFEX. The second song after the first 10 second is Covenant Dance from the Halo Combat Evolved soundtrack :)
You can conect base entraces to the glass tunnels by building it from down and outside
@@iAletho why,why did you forget to put that normal lets say hach on the roof 5:45
there is actually a tall rock structure thing in the safe shallows that even though its underwater, the character can walk on it with their feet on the water. is that considered half-land?
watch the last 10 seconds ...
@@oscaro974 no i said the rock mountain thingy not the tip of the coral tube, i saw the ending
We dont talk abt the Lab at the bottom of the lava zone
@@oscaro974 actually read the comment....
Well you would still touch the disgusting water 🤮
So, I watched another youtuber build a giant base and what he learned was that the lag is worst when all the base is one structure, it seems to be the system that keeps track of integrity and the wholeness of the base that causes it. He had a lot of success curing the lag by having his giant base seem connected but actually being several bases that connect indirectly (like having a vertical connector arrive in a moonpool).
Fun fact: You can use floaters to break the lifepod into glitching upwards (maybe they fixed it idk) I haven't played Subnautica or Subnautica Below Zero in a while
@@marcelwroblewski8747 pretty sure they made floaters weaker in terms of how much they can make float
Not even necessary, you can replace the connections with regular pieces after. This way you can connect smaller bases with lagging only one time per connection.
@@marcelwroblewski8747 My lifepod kept drifting away during one play-through, until it ended far into the dead zone outside the map. Took me hours to get to it to take my items back.
As someone who built a base with several sub bases stretching from the lost river, to the aurora, to the dead zone.
The Lag is absolutely brutal
From one long base builder to another, that was very epic! :D
Cheers Bacon! You inspired me
Me too, thanks for the inspiration =D
I’m so glad to see a subnautica expert that I follow comment on this. Thankyou Mr.Bacon
Have you guys checked out Oarfish ?
OMG LAST BACON I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BRO KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!!!
1:12 the islands are covered by static cloud textures which makes them very easy to locate; 2:13 is looking towards the floating island
This. I'm thinking he's just acting dumb for the video considering you can just zoom across the water surface towards the misty patches.
As shown in TheLastBacon's megabase videos (and many folks here noted), putting a gap in your structure solves the lag problem. Like put a hatch with a ramp that lets you jump to the next ramp and hatch.
Otherwise the game struggles to compute hull integrity and power distribution for a megastructure. A few very-large-but-technically-separate structures are more easily handled by the engine for some reason.
You basically answered your own statement. The game does better with big but separate structures because it performs hull integrity and power calculations for the entire base everytime a new piece is added. Separating the base pieces improves performance because the game doesn't perform calculations for the other pieces as they technically aren't being altered.
Not gonna lie, this video can give arquitects a real heart attack.

Now do it in survival mode
Honestly, my favourite parts of these videos are the thumbnails.
They're just really interestingly artistic, keep up the good work!
I wouldn't have the patience for this, congrats!
It was definitely a painful experience but it was nice to see everything to come together at the end! The lag definitely hurt though.. 😂
As someone who's built to the bottom of the void twice (Prior to the big little update when there was actually terrain 3000+ meters deep), the freezing at each piece being added is a g o n y.
Wow, I didn't know they removed the terrain. When the game kept adding depth modules and such to go deeper, I couldn't help finding the suspiciously rectangular "stone" subterranean area of subnautica conpelling and I felt so sure I'd find a dead precursor/architect down there somewhere, so, I also built a very long tube down to the very bottom and felt that it was fun to go from the surface to the bottom in an instance due to one incredibly long ladder... but very disappointed at never finding anything down there... ESPECIALLY after all that laggy AGONY of trying to build the long tube with the ladder inside.
In my first playthrough of Subnautica I accidentally discovered that you can build the Neptune Launch Platform on top of the lifepod. Apparently the mobile vehicle bay doesn't check for clearance when making that. The corner landed on it, so it was all lopsided. I was still able to use it.
the speedrun deliberately builds the cyclops on top of the Neptune pad, it's pretty darn funny.
About a year ago, I made a giant pipe from one island to another in hardcore mode. I've never wanted to quit the game more in my life
Aletho: * finishes the land building challenge *
Those 2 coral tubes sticking out of the water near the spawn: Hello there👋
Good stuff 👍 I still count subnautica 1 among my all time favorite games, it's an awesome experience.
Glad you liked it Macavity! Subnautica has so many different ways in which it can be played, which makes it so unique!
Same..was so disappointed by subnautica below zero though
You forgot the alien bases ther is no water in the Base.
Fun fact, that coral tube sticking out of the water is at the coordinates (0,0)
1:06
Finding the two islands is as easy as looking at the large mass of gathered clouds on the surface of the water, there's also looking at said clouds through the PDA (when aimed correctly) and if they glow that's where an island is.
I read somewhere that the lag comes from the game calculating the hull integrity with every structure you build, so maybe removing that could fix it (I'm not sure how though)
The game still calculates hull integrity even when it's turned off
I once built a base on and around the tip of the mountain on the mountain island. The farthest possible area from water. It was pretty cool actually
I can’t even describe the amount of dedication and perseverance you have this is so impressive good job
Best thumbnail I've ever seen in my life
I did this with Below Zero when my t'internet went down, from the top of the rocket on Omega Base to the Crystal Caves, from the Arctic Biome to the old base of Subnautica. Nice to see another phychotic build.
How come someone which such good content only has 6k subscription you deserve more man!
Thanks Rubytron! I always try to make the most entertaining video I can :)
I know exactly what huge base building does to someone and all I have to say is congrats on completing this
you could use the mod "lifepod unleashed." Pressing shift allows you to drive your lifepod. you can press x to fly into the air and then just anchor it. Then you could have placed a foundation below it and unanchor the lifepod. That way the lifepod is out of the water as you wanted.
Oh wow i never thought about that, thats really cool that you found different video formats
It was a painful process Miliradian 😅
@@iAletho The computer went thru more process
"The Lifepod's collision box is Dummy THICC." 🤣
It's great that subnautica videos can still get over a million views all this time later. Nice video
Man I love your vids, they are funny and entertaining. Whenever I see that you uploaded Im going to watch it immediately.
Good work. That was fun
amazing video as always, love ur content man
Appreciate you watching as always Swindle! :)
This is dedication.
Your lag problem was probably caused not by overbuilding but by glass itself. Lots of games with glass elements make them non transparent in bigger distance. But i dont think subnautica has that. Always when you are in render distance all glass are transparent and they have to be calculated separately.
It happens with non glass too, its because of the way the game counts hull integrity but when too many peices are added it gets fucked up
I enjoy base building in this game, but I enjoy the cyclops even more. personally I usually end up making it my base with a dozen or so outposts scattered around with scanner rooms, power cell chargers, and water purifiers to resupply/recharge. nothing beats the freedom of taking your base anywhere
And no Leviathans on the way to the another Island 😁
Leviathans: Are you sure about that?
Next part of the challenge, connect all the dry underwater places, such as the alien bases to your megabase
been meaning to play this game, now I want to even more for some weird reason. Great video!
You have good creative thinking.
I had four bases myself.
The biggest was on the shoal near the geyser.
A modest fourth I made on an island near an anti-aircraft gun.
A large room, a docking station with an observatory. An outdoor outdoor bed on the beach, an aquatic one a couple of meters from the habitation module underwater.
Generators and other life support set up in the big room.
That's a nice Subnautica presentation!
Couple questions.
Could you have deconstructed a piece of corridor while you were building and put it back when you were done? I think the lag was caused by too big a base (don’t know for certain), so that would make it technically two based.
Also, would it have been faster or slower to build over the Aurora?
I did try leaving a gap between the base and the start of a new tunnel which I could connect later but for some reason that didn't seem to help the lag at all! Although when I rebooted my game later on that did seem to improve things so maybe placing all the pieces in the same session was making the lag worse?
I actually didn't think of building over the Aurora, maybe that would have been a better idea! 😅 Thanks for watching Evillord :)
@@iAletho Must’ve been just having that many pieces then. Reloading most likely unloaded parts you hadn’t looked at yet.
Of course I watched! Who wouldn’t want to watch a dude hold up a megabase shaped middle finger to fish game?
@@iAletho I could be wrong here but i think the game only load in things that u have seen sense u started the game and that could be why the lag improved as the base pieces for away never needed to load back in again. I have hade issues finding material using the scanner room right after starting up the game. Even with 4 range upgrades equipped there has been times where some materials never showed up right away before i did a quick swim around the area and then they did appear.
building upwards is an absolute PAIN, im sure it would be A LOT slower but good idea still
@@gabyyyyyyyyy why is it a pain? It’s just vertical connectors and ladders
Imagine u go somewhere for hours just to say "Shoot, wrong way, I need to go back"
You would not believe how many times I said "Stand on the roof". It would of helped so much with accidental wrong placements
It would be interesting, starting from land, to see how far out over the void you could build above water.
That thumbnail is fire! 🔥
Walk the gold fish. Yes. Makes sense.
Tip: from the left to right side of the aurora, you can see really dense fog in the distance, this covers the islands. follow the fog to find the islands
also you can place hatches at the bottom of corridors where you would place the climbing thing
So brilliant. I've had a leaking base for more than a month. Literally two pods stuck together with a hatch. Leaking. Sod it.
I always build bases on the islands because I actually do HATE the ocean. You wouldn't think a former Marine would, but I do. It's deep, it's dark, it's salty, and everything in it wants to slime, bite, or sting you, and that's on THIS planet. First playthrough, I actually tried camping on the Aurora until I found the islands. IRL, i never would have left the Aurora except for when the reactors were blowing up. With the fires out, it's still a very nice, if slightly slanted, living area.
So, you turned Subnautica into Supernautica. You know, above the ocean^^.
Aletho: "thank goodness I'm done, that coral tube took ages!"
Me: "there's three, actually"
You can move the life pod by forcefully shoving some into it such as swimming into it or using a propulsion cannon
So you could bring the life pod all the way onto the beach of one of the islands
Pretty cool! That took some dedication! 😂 💕
Had me laughing all vid! Awesome job!
Thanks as always Delta Pig!
you are really underrated man, keep working on films like this, you are very good at it
Thanks PIO3K! I'll keep em coming 💪
looks nice, I'd had quit at the first foundation I don't have enough patience for that xd
It took about about 5 / 6 hours of game time to put together in the end, although a significant chunk of that was spent towards the end of the challenge when placing a single piece could take 5 - 10 seconds! That also doesn't include time for deleting misplaced or mis-angled pieces, which for some reason made the game lag even more than placing down a new one! Thanks for watching Angry_boi :)
-Hates water
-Has a goldfish
Makes sense to me
Fish are friends not food
Absolutely amazing. Now do it in below zero
next is making a base where every arcatect base is and connecting them together
in survival
Your extremely funny and amazing. You deserve more subs!!!
When building... the best thing to think would be: What would Josh do?
Yay he realized the coral hehe! great video ^^
Lol I love watching people play subnautica because I'm too scared to play it myself 😂 Well done
Oh, I did something like this a couple years back... not quite to this obsessive, must-touch-every-piece level, but not only did I set up a base connecting both islands and my pod, I built up to the top of the mountain on the mountain island and the top of the Aurora, built rings of corridors around the gun (which passes ghostlike through them when it fires), and I've paved a broad path over the ocean between the mountain island and the Aurora with foundations. Lag? Lots'n'lots. But no crashing, amazingly. I do have time to brew a pot of coffee when I load my save, though.
You probably could have temporarily removed connecting pieces to get rid of the lag, then re-joined everything at the end
"Water...nobody likes it"
Me, a former water-type trainer: *heavy breathing*
You don't do a walkthrough of the base at the end? I want to see you walk through it with the glass windows and all!!
I haven't played this for many years, but even so, the land masses are where the giant clouds are when on the surface of the water.
I've done stuff like this before, I built on top of the Aurora, I built a glass compartment coil around the gun building then seeing what would happen in the Sunbean cutscene and when it would deactivate and I also built a base in the void in survival and yeah
Lag is really bad after you build all this stuff in one basically one place
i've done this a couple times ... building the 'sky tubes' is a lot easier walking on the 'roof' ... an occasional non-glass tube section allows a hatch in the ceiling, then you're free as the wind
I hope the next Subnautica game is more of a hybrid between sailing and going submerging the seas. And I hope that they add huge waves and weather effects, and creatures that reach out and grab you even after you're above water. Like a tentacle Cthuhulu monster.
There's also several places underneath the water that can be considered land. The thermal reactor, the main containment facility and a portal about 300 meters deep near the enforcement platform.
I love Subnautica but this is absolutely nuts but in a good way
"If you can put your feet on it, and you aren't in the watuh, then my base must connect to it"
Underground Alien bases in the dead zone or something: trolololo
Welcome to this amazing, excellent and enthralling channel
Glad to have you around klag! it's you guys that keep me going :)
@@iAletho I'm appreciated yay!! 👍
I would have suggested splitting the base into 2, as it might have killed off some lag when placing new pieces. It would only affect half the amount of modules instead of all of them.
watching this at 8x speed is a trip the man barely takes a breath
I was about to type a joke about the instructions being unclear and ending up in the void, but you seemed to have done that yourself just fine 😂😂😂
I understand and respect the commitment to making this, meanwhile i barely have enough materials to make a small base by my escape pod rip
I would have rage quit when FPS dropped to slideshow mode. Congrats for your persistence! Awesome build!
You can move the lifepod with a seamoth or cyclopse onto a platform 🙂
New challenge recomended, make a long base out of water into the dead zone keep out of the water. Keep going to 8,000 outward and see if it loops you and your base back to the lifepod. I think going that far out into the void surfaced will loop you but I never seen it done using a base going to the very end of the map. 🙂
You are giving me The Spiffing Brit vibes. Love it
I always wanted to do that! Could you post a new video or some pics showing exactly how it all connects together? I never quite managed to make a reliable mental map of the Subnautica terrain
Fun to see that there still pepole playing subnautica
I praise your ability to train a goldfish without touching water, that's some expert level right there. You might share blood with Moise.
It is a tough task, but someone has to do it 💪
I actually found that you can use air pipes to raise the lifepod if you place them directly under it in various ways
i think it would be cool to see more challenge videos like this from this channel
Watch this space Rebel!
@@iAletho this space as in your going to or are you referring to another channel
You can actually move the LifePod a little bit with different vehicles the easiest one being the Cyclops which would have made it a lot easier to make buildings and foundations around it and then you can just push it closer to them
honestly the fact that this is even possible is a testiment to how well this game has been optimized
1. We ain’t even gonna worry about the giant coral tube chunks that stick out😈
2. Imagine forgetting to save
5:25 Oh I've had those exact moments myself. lol
You can build a hatch on the floor of I-compartments, too, btw.
I once built from my base (safe shallows) to the floating island bc I kept accidentally going to the back of the aurora and I did it above water bc then I would be able to see the aurora
And that's what I call creative, hats down captain
Aletho: Anything that you can walk on and is not in te water is considered "land"'
Me: (Thinking of building a base inside of my own base and building a base inside of that one.)
My fellow human, there is already a teleporter that joins both islands together lol 🤣
Lol the way you say multi purpose room sounds like you're saying naughty purpose room lmao
It’s so cool that stairs automatically build on land!
built a base from the front of the aurora to the entrance to the dunes with 3 large hubs connected by corridors and every couple of corridors would be 4 large farm plots with food and water. Also had one base from the bottom of the dunes to above the water line. By the time I finished the frame rate was under 10. I seem to recall it was a bit better when I was inside but it was a nightmare building that thing.
