Building/Ship Show off your house :D

Nooooo!

 

The power plant is a nifty touch.

 

Here's my base. Can't call it a house, as it is lacking in the daily necessities, but that's what you have a ship for. Anyway, just a place for the genetic modification of plant life and figuring out what went so horribly wrong with the artificial brain... or at least inventing a remote triggering mechanism for the thing so I can unleash them upon my enemies from a safe distance.

 

can anyone who's made a spiral staircase like this give any tips on how to successfully make one? I've tried making one in my (unmodded) game, and I can't keep the platforms from jointing up in places I don't want them to. Does it require a mod to keep them from doing that, or does it require something else I'm not aware of?

 

@CrowScape: Very nice laboratories.


@Tiny Prancer: I think think the lighthouse you linked use two different types of platforms (steel and modern, I would guess) so that might help. With the one in my base I only made the steps every second block.

 

And the work is complete. To the far left we now have Barracks. With a big sleeping-hall, showers, a mess hall, a small brig and a shooting range. Im not totaly satisfied with it though. It looks a bit boring and blocky and the lighting... I don't know. Maybe I will redo it at some point, if I get new Ideas. At the moment I'm doing another projekt instet.

 

Damn thats a fine base you got

 

Using the volcanic mini-biome we were able to build a Geothermal Power Plant. The pipes go into the ground are heated by the magma. It turns the water i the pipes into steam which turns the turbine. The turbine then turns the power generator, which makes electricity. The steam then cools at the top and then falls back down the other pipe to get heated all over again. The Floran vines are used as power lines which go down into our brick sewers back to our home.

 

Now that we have power I set up a factory. First the tank collects the rain water. Then the power leads to a battery which has a negative and positive charge in the water thus separating the oxygen and hydrogen. On the left the oxygen is store in the tank until its put in a barrel. Then the hydrogen goes down the pipe and mixes with the nitrogen in the air. Then it goes though the tank with iron catalysts. Then they combine to make ammonia. Which can be stored in a barrel and then used to make our first refrigerator!

 

Ok so my house is a bit large. Habitual plunderer and all. Also yes, those trees are within a closed off space- bird-type creatures regularly spawn in there and get gunned down by my turrets.

Part Two(The Rest)





EDIT: Sad now. Just realised after taking these screenshots that the Glitch Doctor (whose spawner I found early on in the game, deep in the earth) I had wandering around my castle has randomly despawned. Sigh

 

Yay, science! A lot thought behind it, so thats great!

 

Well, it's what I've been constantly expanding since enraged koala, sorry about the terrible sky and background cropping. (Pixel Goods Store and Dye mod for some of the furniture and armor)

 

Hold S and press your spacebar!

 

When I just started playing Starbound......

It is quite beautiful
It grew to this

Before it was abandoned

 

Above the ground, so nobody would find it

 

PETA is gonna getcha!
poor birdie!

 

My original base was on a planet I named Gualon (Alpha Phi UMa 218 I), back in v.Angry Koala. It was originally a small, humble hill burrow with farming on the surface, and aliens kept getting in. Eventually, though, it grew into a massive hodge-podge of a complex that occupied the entire hill.



I had a pretty impressive farm complex connected to the base. Twas underground to protect it from pesky blood-vomiting eyebats and dragonets. The giant field of wheat in the screenshot below was only about a third of it; another ~25% (much of it outside, "on the roof") was more wheat, the other ~40% given over to various other crops. (As you can imagine, I'm psyched for updates to farming. )


Also I didn't want to expand my farming any further, because my computer was starting to lag from keeping track of all the crops' progress.

I later added on a library in the lower levels.

Unfortunately the whole thing was lost in the last universe/character wipe.

Sometime or other, I'll screenshot Gatsby's new home. I took the library idea from the last screenshot and ran with it, but aside from that section and the hospital wing, the place needs work.

 

Damnit, the screenshots didn't load properly
Let's try again
First time playing Starbound.....
It is a work of art
