Luxurious paradise base

Luxurious paradise base

Luxurious base, decorated laboratory, restaurant, tower, cave, two artificial islands and huge gardening facilities! Save files in survival mode.

This base is designed for those who want to get started quickly with a luxurious safe shoal base at the start of survival mode. It combines convenience with pleasing home aesthetics.

Since this base was made in a survival mode save file, the story can still be played to completion. However, please note that it contains spoilers, so if you haven't played Story Mode yet, you may want to wait to use this save file.

Things you might want to avoid if you haven't played the story yet (no spoilers in this list):

Every plant species in the game.

Every herbivore in the game except for three sizable ones is unfit for an alien containment unit.

Images of Subnautica concept art contain biome spoilers and endgame spoilers.

All the tools in the game are already mastered.

All blueprints obtained.

Includes uncustomized cyclops, seamoth and shrimp sets.

Spoiler (highlight this line): The story currently takes place after the explosion of Aurora, but before the first radio message is listened to. Other instructions:

Depending on your system, this base may cause some FPS lag issues. On my custom AMD system I can get anywhere from 16 to 80 FPS. If you encounter these issues, try pressing F3, then F8, and then set the texture quality to 3. This information may also be helpful.

The safe shoal cave around the base is well-lit thanks to the lights I placed, but don't be surprised if some... unpleasant inhabitants are still inside. If you've played Subnautica, you'll know what I'm referencing, but if you haven't, all I can say is a health pack or two!

This save requires some mods to work properly:

QModManager

SML Assistant (Modding Assistant)

base clock

external plant pot

Decoration Mod

I also recommend using these mods to improve the experience, although they are not required:

Radial labels  (avoids some manufacturer items appearing off-screen)

Cheat Manager  (Easier customization if you prefer to use console commands)

Custom Storage  (Makes lockers and personal storage easier - highly recommended)

More Quick Slots  (Allows you to use the provided tools more easily)

----------

You can add your own pictures by adding them to the screenshots folder in the save file. They should be 16:9 aspect ratio to work properly.
