hello it's Ricardo and welcome back to subnautica quite a few videos online where people have gone
out and built the tallest base or the longest base in subnautica they could possibly do given
a range of patience because with subnautica that's the thing how much patience do you have
to build the tallest base or the longest base because it's a long and arduous process I've
been at this about five hours yes I've been bored not much to do really and yeah it's
quite gratifying building a tall base in subnautica I just wanted to see how far I
was willing to go and how fair the game was going to let me go well so far I'm at 2 000
feet just over and the game is able to let me go a bit further let's take a look at what I've done
yes it's all about building a tall base it would seem online subnautica has been around for quite
some time now and it's in its second iteration with version two and with that come some more
system stability however the maximum possible depth the player can reach is 8192 meters by
going down to the drop-off at the crater Edge if you pass that you'll walk directly to the life pod
now I've managed not to do any of that I've just started off at the starting location and
I've started building upwards and then I've got bored halfway through and I've had a little stop
off point that'll stop off point I've built some multi-purpose rooms and filled it with
some stuff and stocked the cupboards with some water and some nutrient blocks pretty in essence
it's taken me a while being a bit of a laborer love and it's been strangely relaxing I think
as well to do this now when you go and start building these structures there's a couple of
ways you can do it I've seen some people who've been out there and put tube upon tube upon tube
upon tube I have been unable to do that I've managed to get say one tube on top of another
in the water that's a given once you get to a certain height the game tries to discourage you
from doing it so to get past that you need to have a cylinder or a pod cylinder and a tube to connect
it and then this ladder obviously then allows you to connect whatever you've built to the next level
and a hatch to go outside now like I was saying that's how I've done it it's been a tube
a pipe another tube and a ladder now when you jump off this is quite gratifying as well then
you can appreciate how tall the bass you've built like I said I've built about 2 000 meters at this
stage just where the Aurora was not visible then it comes into sight you see the moon and planets
pass above your head you know it is quite the spectacle it really is quite the spectacle
and it's certainly good when you jump off it now you see I'm jumping off this at night
time great fantastic and you think that's why I put all those lights on the outside
now depending where you build you can go higher than this as well for the taller space you can
start off underwater like they say like I didn't do that I didn't have the foresight to do that
unfortunately so here is my base let's have through here as we go through the inside so
bear with me here so here's what standard habitat we've got all the all the general
items you got your cupboards you've got your fish tank because you've got to have your fish
um let's take a little bit of water on a little bit of food
you want to get hungry and stab to death on the way up go a nuclear reactor in there that's all
nicely charged supplying my base full of power I've also got water filtration for those nice
big large filtered water supplies as well so now at this stage we start our ascend now a
lot of people start off doing multi-purpose rooms but I have found by stacking multi-purpose rooms
on top of one another the game starts to slow down drastically so it wasn't long after that I decided
not to go with multi-purpose rooms but to go with the standard connector tube which you can put a
ladder in as you can see I'm only about 100 meters up already if that and um you can see the graphics
are starting to rain you can see the cloud around where the the islands are now going back in
doing my little stop off points I do these every now and again just to break them Monopoly um here
we go these are multi-purpose rooms you can see you can't do One ladder above another you've got
to go to the other side of the room and that can be a bit laborious whereas with these pipes it's
stack adders when on top of the other lots of clickage will eventually get you up to the top
or to your next stop off point and here are about 200 300 meters up 377 meters up and you
can see you're starting to see the curvature of the game environment as well and it's still
a long way to go it's not a huge way to go now I'm empowering this nuclear reactor no problem
there at all I've got a few lights on the outside but that is just Aesthetics they serve no real
these tubes are good because at night time you can see how your base is progressing by looking out
and looking downwards and you can see everything lit up like a proverbial subnautica Christmas tree
that more ladders more clicking if we get to the next stop-off point
and I can get off at any time you'll be perfectly honest with
you that's not a problem uh not of my predefined stop-off points either
see nice to have a bed nice cup of coffee alert I was playing subnautica
so building bases a lot of people have done it some people have gone to 5
000 meters up I'm not sure if I've really got the patience for that I think two thousand just over 2
000 was enough for me I thought yeah I kind of done it that that kind of suits me fine
so moving on now we've got another nuclear reactor here off to the left hand side
got lots of rods in the cupboard see I'm fully powered all good stuff looking out
the windows you can see the aurora starting to fade now getting a bit hazy if we go again
turning left and you can have a look out through
these lovely clear tubes to see how far I've got to go up now
so really the question is how much patience do you have yes the game will let you go higher
but have you got the time and the patience to do so and that's what I think really affects
effect I'm about a thousand meters up now just shy of that uh still got a bit of
time to go you can see how far I've come already but the Aurora is still visible
you start getting higher you might as well just be in space it goes
to night time all you see is Stars and that's something up more ladders
oh God another another stop-off station
and you do see system performance degrade because the bass starts to build that build
and load into memory um building virtually past this stage does start to become quite
laborious and it does slow down even with my rig 64 gigabyte of RAM Windows 11 64-bit
by a Cuda ssds and a 30 80 10 gigabyte Supreme
then that starts to creak why am I pushing the limits of the game
now you're starting to see different colors look at that sky no longer can you turn
around and see the floor or the sea at the bottom that key part of this subnautica game
now if you look out this observation port and look down you can see we are
1888 meters away from where I park my safe um my sea Glide
just stop dump this salt here we go back up
so in short I'm glad I did it I really am glad I did it so those viewers stuck with this video to
the very end you can see why it's pretty good up here get a different vision of the game
and the background graphics and of course it is fun when you jump off it
either way I've been Ricardo thanks very much for watching this video on my tallest
base that I've built in subnautica yes I can go further but I really haven't
got the patience to thanks very much for watching and check out my subnautica videos
on YouTube and also subnautica below zero I'll see you soon
thank you
