I wish I could remember where I saw it (Might have been tucked into the Release page of a mod), but someone had gone and built a proper ship for their colonists, rather than simply have the pieces cobbled together into the bare minimum to have it work.

So, I wondered: What would happen had you simply landed the ship, rather than crashed?

Or perhaps: What if you had to build a proper ship, rather than piece together 4 parts, to escape the planet?

I'll have pictures of my own 'ship' up soon, but I just wanted to see if anyone else has tried building a 'ship' before!

Just wanted to get a little conversation going about what people may consider the best way for heating/cooling a base during the various stages of construction.

I've only played A8 for a little bit, only enough to get a little communal bunker dug into the side of a mountain, but I've found I can heat/cool the entire base (so far) year round (I forget which of the 2 new 'cold' biomes the colony is in) by first creating a freezer with the wall-units heating end pointing back into the base, and then its cooling end into the freezer, of course.

This worked for a little bit... Till I realized that the base (The part being heated anyway) was pushing well over 90F! Rather than try toying with moving the freezer's wall unit, all I did was mount a second wall unit with its cooling side in the main portion of the base, and its heating side pointing to the outdoors.

Now, my base hovers at 70F (+/- 1 or 2 degrees) practically year round.

Doubt this would work for larger bases, or any sort of base with a bunch of separate buildings/rooms, but I was wondering what everyone else might come up with!
