Base design

[Jamini]

Can you show me the actual bonuses your workbenches are getting? I tried a similar setup during the closed playtest, and didn't see an actual boost on the workbenches despite showing the link. So far I've only seen a 1-1 work speed boost for tool benches, regardless of the number of lines.

I don't know the exact bonus that work tables get from the tool racks but i would imagine 20% each

That's not what I asked for. I was hoping he'd provide an image showing that the setup he posted was providing a bonus. IIRC, it did not work that way when I tried out tool benches.

5 work benches all getting the 12% boosts from only 3 tool cabinets.

It says how much of a bonus the tool cabinet gives right on the tool cabinet info pane. 6% per cabinet. But each workbench is limited to 2 tool cabinets.

[Simon_The_Space_Engineer]

Well thank you for the clarification.... That is something I really should now since I use tool cabinets. Also we are nearing 3/4 of the way to 200 votes... After that I would like to know if you guys agree with the vote and which base designs you voted for

This is what I came up with after getting bored of squares and rectangles, it's surprisingly efficient. And yes I'm using a boat load of mods...

This is just on Casandra on rough so I had more freedom to fart around.

That's pretty cool! In your screen shot, what are all the little circles? They look like the ones you see when you place down a workbench. I'm just curious!

They're the LED lamps from my LED lighting mod because I lack the creativity to make a better texture

That is a cool base... What mods are you using?

That's also my load order which is why I included "core" at the top even though it's not a mod Many of these I've either poked and prodded at to get them to play nice with one another or, in the case of Vegetable Garden, changed around a bit to use pieces from other mods ( My version of Vegetable Garden uses ED - Plants 24H defs )

Cheers!

Thank you... Also that, in my opinion, is worth (what ever the effort I think you have put into it) being the 100th post

[Loki88]

It wound up being very quick for colonists to get around in, as well as being a good "fast response" type base. With the way I play though, no Raiders have made it to my base yet (except for the ones that landed in my fridge) I have a bunch of little hexagonal outposts all around the map. I had to get the more floors mod with the hexagonal tiles just to make it extra hexagonish.

One last thing I forgot to say I did was change the colour of the marble so things made from it appear whiter. I know there's grey marble IRL but I can't get those gleaming white marble counter tops out of my head that everyone seems to want in their house.

[Loki88]

So it got a little bit bigger...



I'm pretty sure my planning tool doesn't wanna talk to me ever again...

[LordMunchkin]

I'm pretty sure tool cabinets can support more than 4 work benches. I have just two in the center of work area and every station that can benefit from tools get 112% work speed.
