Does anyone know the rules about building cuboid room bases and how much of it can't be glass cubes in order to provide hazard protection?

I don't think it has anything to do with glass cubes, and everything to do with how large the room itself is. At least when using basic parts, if I make a room that's 3x3 squares in size or more and stand in the center, the game may decide that I'm actually outdoors. I assume cuboid rooms would be similar but you may be able to get a bit bigger before the room breaks.

I assume cuboid rooms would be similar but you may be able to get a bit bigger before the room breaks. I was surprised to find the large cuboid with perfectly interlocking parts was considered more open than a basic part room of roughly the same size. You might be able to get away with large cuboids if you use the cuboid walls inside too. Edit: I just built out a set of cubic cuboids in creative and they were all considered fully inside at the floor, until I built a 5x5x5 which was considered inside except at the corners. I went back and checked the 4x4x4 corners which were not exposed like the 5x5x5. So 2x2x2, 3x3x3, and 4x4x4 cuboid seem safely indoors. From an earlier experiment with an earlier release level, I know an 8x8x2 cuboid was considered all exposed on the inside. Edit 2: In a 4x16x4 long cuboid, the you start getting exposed at a distance of about 4 rooms when near the ends. code:code:Overall though, I don't like the look of cuboid rooms versus the other materials. I think the calculation of exposure is based on distance and what the room is made of may not matter, except for its edge geometry. There were a horrific number of render issues with adding cuboid interior walls and floors in these spaces, but that may be because of the bulk of many cuboids in my test base. 18 Character Limit fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Sep 14, 2018 |

Ah, I made a 9x3x30 structure, and bands of cuboids replacing glass cuboids, while not changing the room's size, seemed to help, but I am trying to understand the parameters that work or don't work.

Not ideal, but I pulled off a 17x17 all indoor cuboid warehouse of a sort. Pretty sure it can scale out.  264 floor spaces, mostly glass roof.

It only loses 25 floor spots to the pillars. I'd like it to have been more open, but this was what seemed required for a two cuboid height room to not be considered exposed.

The suck of it is I'm pretty sure going three cubes tall won't fix the cramped feel. I'd prefer some kind of environmental/life support radiator component instead. The nasty planets provide the feedback that something is exposed. I'd build elsewhere.

I guess I should be more specific. The 2D interior walls you can only place once you have already built a cuboid room can be dyed. The cuboids themselves have dyeable outer walls, but their inner surfaces are always white no matter what. Also, the fact that the top of cuboid foundations / struts clip inside of rooms and actually remove the regular floors of cuboid rooms they sit under is aggravating because it seems like it'd be the easiest thing to have not had them do that, but they do that anyway.

My main complaint is I can't mount things like a galactic trade hub or storage containers in a basic component building, and how they don't interface as cleanly with other structures.

Speaking of conquering the wilderness: pretty satisfied with how my surface base has turned out. Apparently, three domes is enough to put together the entire supply chain to make a single set of agricultural products per day (solanium is an intentional per-day bottleneck), but I ended up making a fourth to have some room for extra glass plants. Before I got my crashing problem nailed down, I spent a lot of time here, so I've ended up playing space barbie quite a bit with it.    More here: https://imgur.com/a/LR8ncYJ It's hard for me to overstate how much I enjoy this dumb space game, despite all of its flaws, and I wish freighter bases weren't quite so useless so I could space barbie them too.

Base building irks me because it doesn’t really do anything. Here’s these nice greebly control panels, and this lovely light up desk/drafting table, and so on, but it’s all just decoration that’s separate from the actual decoration section. I can’t even sit down on my nice space sofa.

I have a question about base building, actually. Me and my wife played this game for awhile after the relaunch and really enjoyed playing together. It's exactly the type of game we do enjoy. Specifically, we always enjoy doing base building stuff together. She likes to gather the resources and I'll setup the base. Unfortunately, when we played, there was no real way to have one base together. I could add some stuff in her base, but only she could open containers, use consoles, that sort of thing. So I built a base as close to hers as possible, but it really made the game feel less cooperative and more that we were both playing a singleplayer game with some slight crossover moments. Now I remember reading something in a patch that players can now set permissions in their base. Is it possible now to really own a base together where we both can use the same containers and/or consoles? Or can that possibly screw up the base quests?

From what I can tell, you can individually set permissions for building the base, as in adding or removing parts. But as far as I know, the ownership can't be the both of you, alas. The consoles are tied to you alone. The_Doctor posted:Base building irks me because it doesn’t really do anything.

I can’t even sit down on my nice space sofa. Yeah. Which is a shame, I do wish there was a lot more physical interaction with the various parts. I'm not asking for loving second life or Skyrim here, but as you say, I've got some perfectly nice sofas I'd like to sit on. Oh well. Still satisfying from a 'lego build' perspective.

I just walked underneath, got the single foundation to snap to the center of the dome in the green ghost mode, then hit F. I did have some issues with the quad foundation not behaving properly, but the singles seem to do okay.

Rocket boots are pretty awesome. I think the jetpack has a slower response time to starting though, which is somewhat odd. Fauna movement glitchiness is new and I expect something they'll fix in 1.61. It's more apparent in clear terrain with herds. https://i.imgur.com/gCaNrUB.gifv Edit: of course I can't replicate it now with herds in windowed mode. It just ends up looking like the animals are rapidly changing direction, and not just because of proximity/running away. 18 Character Limit fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Sep 21, 2018 |

The high security/aggressive/hostile sentinel ones usually are covered in them. Though the low gravity makes running from the sentinels easier. Someday I hope they have better procedural lootables so it's not all gravitino stored in the balls. Does remind me I need to go find an abandoned building to see how much fun horrors have become with spitting. Also start buying cargo slots for that oxygen/ferrite/carbon.

Does anyone actually travel around with their freighters? I found that mine seemed way less warp-capable than my S-rank exotic starship so I just parked it in orbit over my base and I portal back there whenever I want to manage expeditions or access my storage. Also, Jesus Christ the Geology Cannon is lethal with a couple of upgrades. I can lob one of those shells at a Walker and shred all of the armour on both of its legs in a single shot.

I warp to new systems with my own starship but whenever I need to do something on my freighter I just summon it. If I'm summoning it while standing on a planet I aim it so it's at a bit of a distance instead of directly over me and so that the hangar is pointed in the direction I'll approach it from so it's easier to fly into. Unless they ever add freighter tech slot upgrades that enhances its warp drive it will probably always be less useful to jump the freighter over your own starship unless you really want to avoid installing Cadmium/Emeril/Indium drives in at least one of your ships.

Wait, you can summon it on the surface of a planet? I summoned mine in low orbit, but now I'm wondering if I should tunnel out a huge trench and summon my freighter into it so I can just jetpack from my base directly into the hangar. e: actually, poo poo, the hangar forcefields probably block movement both ways, and even if they didn't I'd be stuck in there without my ship. I guess I could always just put my freighter like 0.75 seconds' flight away from where my starship spawns when I use the portal, with the hangar facing my starship.
