When I first discovered Subnautica, I took interest in various components of the game. But it was when I saw the base building that I truly became captivated. Compared to the rustic, ramshackle feel of most survival games, Subnautica’s base components are sleek, modern, and offer seemingly endless potential despite their modular design. Barely a few hours later, I had purchased the game, and base building quickly became a major focus. 3 years later, and while my love for building has remained ever present, I often feel disheartened seeing other players relegate their bases to sterile husks, used merely as a means to an end as they pursue other ventures. In this video, I’m going to take you through my 5-step base building process as we construct a base and explore one of Subnautica’s greatest aspects.
