Introduction: Here is a brief summary of what we know about basebuilding. This thread will be updated with more information as it becomes available.

Goal of Basebuilding: The primary objective of basebuilding is to establish a secure and functional home, focusing on career-oriented structures such as trading ports and warehouses, as well as resource gathering facilities like mining and refinery outposts. Locations and Security:

1. High Security:
   • Land Claim: Yes
   • Protection: Full protection from the UEE
   • Financial Aspect: High cost, low financial return
   • Taxes and Fees: Applicable

2. Medium Security:
   • Land Claim: Yes
   • Protection: Partial protection from the UEE
   • Financial Aspect: Medium cost, medium financial return
   • Taxes and Fees: Applicable

3. Lawless:
   • Land Claim: No
   • Protection: No protection from the UEE
   • Financial Aspect: No cost, high risk, high reward
   • Taxes and Fees: Not applicable

4. Off the Grid Base:
   • A unique option for basebuilding with different considerations.

Tools for Basebuilding:

1. Surveyor Tool and Hover Trolley: Suitable for small structures.
2. Vehicle Support: Enables the construction of small to medium structures.
3. Ship (Galaxy) RSI Support: Facilitates the building of small to large structures.
4. Pioneer: Allows for building from small to extra-large structures while remaining mobile and exploring space options.

Land Claim and Basebuilding Mode:

• Place the tool down, launch a drone, and access land claim mode to view costs and taxes if applicable.
• In basebuilding mode, utilize an overhead view to plan and test building placements, assess underground resources, and determine necessary building materials.

Fabrication and Building:

• Buildings require fabrication; bring or build your own with blueprints.
• Furnish rooms as needed.

Building Types:

1. Utility:
   • Garage
   • Freight Elevator
   • Landing Pads
   • Store Fronts

2. Resource Extractors:
   • Mining Lasers
   • Drills and Pumps
   • Water Extractors
   • (Note: These are never fully automated.)

3. Power Generators:
   • Geothermal
   • Solar Panels
   • Fuel Generator
   • Windmill
   • Fusion Power
   • Batteries

4. Producers:
   • Fabricators
   • Hydroponics
   • Refineries
   • Pharmaceutical Facilities

5. Defense:
   • Anti-Air Turrets
   • Anti-Personnel Turrets
   • Shields
   • Etc.
