Base building mechanics
I wish I could say I'm a good builder, but the reality is that I have no talent whatsoever. Just trying my best. I watched tutorials online and I gathered the basics, but I have a few questions on the matter:
-
I know that manipulating the terrain by digging is counter-productive bc it grows back. Does this apply to the terrain flattener too? If so, what's the point of having a tool so obviously designed to make flat space for your base?
-
Sometimes when I put down a prefab, it autonomously delete portions of terrain that would clip into it. In this case, does it grow back regardless?
-
What about natural resources (rocks and plants)? Do they grow back? I ask because every tutorial says if you want to build a base in a cave you better find a natural cave… But natural caves are filled with stalagmites and cave pumpkins. I don't know if I can safely build over those.
-
Let's say I want to connect two parts of my base, but in the middle there's a mountain. I carve a large hole in the mountain and place a prefab corridor or passage tube to connect the two parts. After a while, the terrain I carved comes back. Does it clip inside the corridor I placed preventing me to traverse it or does it just "surround" my pieces leaving the space inside empty?
-
Last… Is there an effective way/trick to snap different base styles pieces together? I'm building with prefab and cubic rooms, but I can't for the life of me make a pathway OUTSIDE to connect different buildings, bacause not a single floor present in the game snaps with the prefab (again, I'm talking about the exterior)
Thanks!
