Somehow missed the existence of this group and was only posting in the event thread.
My base is called Cranncathair
It's a world tree village.
The founders of the city travelled far and wide across the planet seeking refuge from the electrical events that frequently destroyed their settlements. After discovering the world tree, they realised they could make their homes well above the dangers of the surface and now dedicate their lives to caring for this towering tree.

The villagers are quite nervous of strangers, so you'll likely only see a few essential workers if you visit.


Warning : Be careful when taking off from the landing pads... if you aren't careful you may fly into the canopy and damage your ship; use of an interceptor or other ship with hover ability is recommended

Mine is called The Gardens . Maybe 50% done by part count.

Tryshard, yes it is ok to post pictures. dw

Sure, count me in though you will need a reward for most vanilla Frank Lloyd NotSoRight lookalike... Just saying ahead of time.

Functional doors:
Place a 'button' item, attach a wire to your power source and the wire from the other side to your hatch connection. Now this switch will control the door.

Automatic doors:
Place a proximity sensor near the door (can be underneath the floor or anywhere nearby as long as it's detection range will trigger when you are near the hatch).
Run a wire from your power source to one side of it and a wire from the other side to the MIDDLE connection on a power inverter.
Run a wire from one side of the inverter to your power source and the wire from the other side to your door connector.
This will turn OFF the power (when you are near) and the door will open. When you leave the detection area the power will return and the door closes.


Welcome to the NMS Builder Community!
Good luck and happy travels!

"Locked in or out of cube room
When I power the room it locks me in or out, what am I doing wrong? I built a cube room in another save and it worked fine. Bug?"



That 'specific' door (the hatch item) has what seems to be 'backward' intelligence.
It will close when it detects power and open when it does not. (no matter what structure you place this in. Above ground, underwater or in space)

Here is how you deal with this.

First you must NOT be in 'base computer power', meaning that (option on the base computer) has to be disabled and you are providing power from either batteries or an EM Generator.

Now that you actually have control over the power in your base, you can specifically control those hatches.

The 1st Annual Builder Group Tournament 2025 announcement: https://eo.steamhost.cc/steamcommunity_com/app/275850/discussions/0/601910081412495474/

I consider this a ‘family of NMS’ player event and therefore do not be surprised if you find some of the decorations with that theme as well :D
There might be a problem with some of the base parts not rendering properly, so give it some time when approaching the base.
Am continuing to work on the base until the event day, just having a lot of fun actually, feel free to drop in and have a look around and to familiarize yourself with the location.
As a final incentive to come, a good friend made a fantastic suggestion:
Take a guess at the following picture on what is happening here and the closest to my intended set-up gets a Steam Point Award. Submissions open until June 23 so you have time to visit the base and come up with an idea.

It is a lovely planet and if you have no humming machinery around, there are surrounding animal sounds you can hear. Very peaceful. Feel free to build bases here, it is not a planet or system I found but does not have a lot of other bases.
There are 2 green bases next to each other: Par 1 Portal Base, has 8 landing platforms around the portal and 3 a little higher up.
Summer Solstice Event Base has another 4 platforms. In the case more will join in, just land anywhere there is room lol.
All landing platforms areas have each a short-range teleporter to the base and within the Event base underneath the platform, are the storage Units, also easily reached with 2 short range teleporters
On one side of the Event Base, you will find all exocraft geobays in case you have any extra fireworks stored in them, also short range teleporter marked by a Sentinel Walker statue.

Hi everyone: the countdown has started with ‘10’, 10 days until the Summer Solstice Fireworks Party
Enclosed is the planet and system information. It is a paradise planet as long as you are not in Survival game mode, then it changes into an extreme Sentinel one for everyone (Just in case, I have a Sentinel Pillar base marked in red)
Due to Summertime changes, Toronto is -4 UTC (Denmark for example is currently +2 UTC) and not the original -5 as quoted in the opening of the thread.
System: Teyaga WH 1, Planet: Par 1

You're invited to my fireworks party on 5 July on a lovely paradise planet where I built an amphitheater.

https://eo.steamhost.cc/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3478250393 This is in Paholiang . Natural museum & Aquarium

Just trying to get some activity back in the group. I have created a new base called the Spelunkers Lodge. I welcome all visitors to come and visit, the portal address is in the screenshot and its in Euclid. I think it came out well. If you want me to show you around, message me.

Gotta say ANYTIME someone "Gets bit" by A bug I always remember this cartoon.

https://youtu.be/AOOYbNtKNpw?feature=shared

Been A bit lackadaisical on NMS myself the last few weeks, been jamming on Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch lately.

But already dig the Look man! 'll have to drop by in A day or so & check it out & knock out the Expedition & let the ole Base Bug A proper feeding.

I've been bitten by the base building bug. Here's my first serious attempt: https://eo.steamhost.cc/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3463178311
A bit bare bones at the moment - I wanted to check that this is visible to people. Inside, it's a maze of twisty little passages.

This could be a interesting and fun place to build a base or bases.

Either together working on one base or separate bases.

Pretty much finished this one today.

My favorite base so far.

Oh I so would have likes to have seen the golf course.

Yes big changes to the ranch, not very ranch like anymore. A few other of my bases were also affected. The Golf Course is no longer playable anymore also.

Aye, I went to the Ranch there & it was like Jurassic Park II when they find the old Visitor Center, such A Massive hammer blow, but from there the Knowledge to make the Painting's & still lifes started, so even if the Base is trashed, the knowledge it gave rise to won't be forgotten easily lol!

Otherwise mine got off easy, the only thing missing is the Forest Environs & Grass Colors associated with what I modeled the area after in my Hometown, was literally A replica, now it's my own Treasure Island & from here on anytime I learn something new, Build some new cool thing, i'll be bringing it there sooner or Later.

By all means, keep it up, keep playing, building & sharing.

Revisited the Tilly's Herbivore Ranch, and Howarth Park and the builds around there. Glad I saw them before World's 2. I'm still working on the other planet, will work for what I'm building.
Tryshard you have a base near mine in Isdoraijung onStyox XII. Your Serenity. I've put dw at end of my base titles.

Also I can't find the fellas name on the group page on the steam app on the phone, but whoever is Prescient Stone.

THANK YOU!

I didn't know Nomads could work on Water like that! it finally helped make the First base I built into something special, Fishing with A Minotaur!

but it started by replacing the Submarine I had on the Base with A Nomad to reach the Deep Sea portion of the Base.

No worries, i'm more impressed with folks' patience with my own overly verbose manners & constant "Looking around the room like A Dog that's been shown A Card Trick" when explaining things to me.

Once again thanks, Please bear with me, I'll get there. Took notes and does seem straightforward.

https://youtu.be/iMLYlCxR-TU?feature=shared

This may be easier, it's A year old & I'm at work so I can't check every step to see if anything has changed & I'm just scattered enough to not recall the process in action, but it seems pretty straightforward & not far from what steps I DO recall in this process.

and I need to work on my typing.

Welcome to all. I'm not very PC savvy So once again I need help with the screenshots. How do you get them up on these pages. say in Secret Planet List? I find the shots help when one is wanting to show a planet. Anyway this Granny is on a PC and loves to visit bases and worlds. Can shot bug, ship and build, but these screenshot are really hard!

Thanks, The basement Berean. There were 3 bases, two other that were done by friends, but worlds 2 made a pretty planet loose all it's red trees. Having build on a mound I did the "planting" Other than them you are the first to see it and give feedback. Thanks so much. I will be traveling this evening. Have fun in the expedition. I did.

Saw your Clinic.

I am Seriously wondering if some ya'll aren't devs slumming it with regular goofs!

The place was AWESOME, I had to Help my Friends Mother through her various Foot Surgeries & I've seen enough Hospitals for my own issues & this is amazing.

I always note the real bits first for some reason & having the Side emergency Door right next to the Landing Pad clinched it, leads right to an ER & details like that show are forethought & knowledge I really enjoy, Like A Lighthouse on an Island Paradise & so forth.

also the wonders side by side as Centrifuges for "samples" & the Patterning of the outside floor tiles!

Used the F12 and it worked for leaving the portal code on the PC yah!!!

F12 will try that, thanks.

https://eo.steamhost.cc/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3403222274

Number Code is
4, 1, 11, 10, 16, 9, 6, 14, 14, 4, 6, 11

So I wanted to Load this up now as when this Expedition Starts i'm going to end up going "Dark" Thursday - Sunday are work days & i'll pretty much be staying offline for what time I get to spend in the Game. I'll be around here though, as verbose & chatty (unfortunately)

It's become it's own thing & by A NUMBER of sheer chance placements (I REALLY had no idea the Sun rises from the Direction it does when I started, i'm not that patient & all I was trying to make was A Pier!) but these many "mistakes: made this Base became something Special & as of Yesterday now has the Only Railgun Skeeball in NMS & as close A facsimile to the Winchester Mystery House A series of screw ups & bad ideas could make (which I am SO MAKING now that I remember it!)

It's still A WIP as i'm still thinking of how to deck out the internal viewing area.

dwheele57 I can only give you what you need to do on a PC, When you set up your screenshot instead of using the action key E (I use a controller) use F12 this will take Screenshot with the addres in the lower left. I have been using the number method since most people get it and that little picture can be hard to see at times. The best screenshot using the original Portal Address uses the Portal version like Berean did.

Oh the portal code is A different location entirely, Spaceballs The Demolition Derby, for now, gonna work on that.

As for posting Portal Coordinates, I've seen folks just using the numbers the symbols represent.

I had to have A screenshot of the List from A wiki or something.

If you check the previous message I left with the Link, the Number based sequence looks like this.

6, 1, 10, 5, 9, 7, 14, 8, 7, 7, 5, 4

That's what's made it easier for me with portal codes, then again I DID just start using the method this afternoon so.....hope for the best, still thinking smoke signals might be more efficient in my case.

I would like thoughts on one of my bases. In Eissemtam "Mt. Health Clinic/Spa dw" It on Culesir T49. Bird, sunset, tepee, balloon, Atlas, dragonfly, balloon, face, 6sides box, moon, dragonfly, sunset.. Anyone tell me how you can leave the addresses up when taking a picture? It there when I take photo, but isn't once downloaded. I'm on PC windows. Rats!! can't find name of system.

You can only do that with friends

I visited you but I used a different method than a portal. I joined you through your profile page

https://eo.steamhost.cc/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3402905605

Ok Round 3!

Why 3 you ask!?

The Locations is in Euclid Galasxy & I entered it in Eissentam!

Anyway, thanks for the patience folks, if this doesn't work i'll just try Cenaphore flags or Smoke Signals.

Welcome! Up to 11, now we need you to post and get active everyone. I started three discussions that I think are important for the group

Bonjour, Hallo, Hello,..
Super for being her,..

Bonsoir ! je ne suis pas très fort en anglais !!

We are up to nine members, we are going to be a force!

two, it's late.

Welcome we are filling up quite fast. We should all start perhaps with sharing some portal address to bases we like so some of us can come by and see your bases and maybe pick up a tip or too. One thing I found out doing the Base Building Tournament is that it is very educational.

Why not, I'll toss in & see if something out of the ole think meats might help someone else, find it funny I bought the game for Space Exploration & ended up making playgrounds & toy boxes for others to enjoy!

DennisM welcome I was hoping you would find your way here. I have a new save that I have been trying to find a good planet to set down on. As soon as it is able to portal I will check it out thanks.

Looks like a good topic and good group. I'm in.

I found a very nice paradise planet in Euclid a while back. If you're looking for a nice place to build a base, you might consider this planet. Here's the thread: https://eo.steamhost.cc/steamcommunity_com/app/275850/discussions/0/4751948599935964740/

I will add the first content. Here is a tour of Overseer Tilly's main base.
