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).

@wizardpajamas6405 Жыл бұрын

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.

@myself8354 3 ай бұрын

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.

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.

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.

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.

@KysEcstacy Жыл бұрын

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

@alzur5720 11 ай бұрын

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.

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.

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.

You can actually push the life pod DOWN to move it's effective hitbox around. Built a multipurpose room or something else with support legs above the pod. The legs will spawn in and ignore the hit box, pushing the pod under water. reverse stacking MP rooms to push it hella deep. Then when you delete the MP rooms the pod slowly floats back to the surface. This should give you enough time to place a platform near where the top of the pod will be so the jump is more of a tiny hop.
