A Seabase provides an area where the [[Player]] can return for oxygen, and serves as an alternative to [[Lifepod 5]] as a base of operations. Within a seabase, the player can construct additional storage space, grow food, access [[Interior Modules|Appliances]] not available in Lifepod 5, and add aesthetic options. Thus Seabases provide safe havens away from the [[Safe Shallows]] the player starts in.

In all [[Game Modes]] except Creative Mode, entering a Seabase secures the player's inventory, so if the player dies, they will return to the last Seabase they visited (Lifepod 5 and a [[Cyclops]] also count as Seabases for this purpose) and keep all the items in their inventory that they had when they were there. This occurs even if they die while inside the base in question: thus, quickly building a single [[Basic Compartment]] and a [[Hatch]] on the seabed can be a valid tactic to secure the player's inventory if they are about to die.

The player will start out with most of the blueprints they need for a basic Seabase; at bare minimum one needs a Compartment, a Hatch, and a power generator (the [[Solar Panel]] is unlocked by default). The initial compartment must be built on or near the ground (or on a [[Foundation]], which is not necessary but provides greater hull integrity and a flat surface to work with), but any additional compartments can overhang without any issue, allowing bases to be built over cliffsides. The player can acquire [[Blueprints]] which allow additional module types to be created.

Despite their name, Seabases can be built on land. When on land, [[Hull Integrity]] is not a factor, and can be built without the need of additional [[Reinforcement]]s, Foundations, or [[Bulkhead]]s. Power is still needed for them to operate, however.

== Hull Integrity ==
== Hull Integrity ==
{{Main|Hull Integrity}}
[[File:Seabase interior.png|thumb|220x220px]]
[[Hull Integrity]] refers to the ability of the player's Seabase to withstand the pressure of the surrounding water, and as a mechanic slows the expansion of the Seabase. A Seabase starts at 10 integrity, but the majority of the modules will lower the integrity once added with the amount varying by module. As Seabases are built at a greater depth the integrity reduction caused by each module will increase. Hull integrity can be increased by constructing Reinforcement panels, placing a Seabase on or near a Foundation (foundations built on top of rooms will still provide their benefit), or installing Bulkheads on the ends of Compartment modules.


When the hull integrity of a Seabase is less than or equal to zero, it will begin to form hull breaches. Any corridor or room that is connected to the breach will begin flooding with water. Bulkheads can compartmentalize the base and prevent floodwaters from moving between compartments, but if the integrity remains below zero then eventually every compartment will develop a leak and the base will fill with water. To avoid this, quickly increase the base's integrity (by either adding strengthening components or removing weak components) and fix all hull breaches in the base using a [[Repair Tool (Subnautica)|Repair Tool]].

A Seabase that receives damage to its exterior will also spring leaks, but the hull integrity will be unaffected. This is most likely to occur if the player hits the base with a [[Cyclops]], as aggressive [[Fauna]] cannot damage bases. In this case, leaks will be limited to only the module that was hit and will not spread, making Bulkheads an effective method of preventing widespread flooding.

== Energy Usage ==
Seabase modules use a multiplier system on negative hull integrity penalties instead of having a specific crush depth, and are not affected by high local temperatures.
[[Energy]] can be provided to a Seabase by building various types of generators near or inside the Seabase. Any number or combination can be used. Appliances such as the Fabricator will drain energy from the Seabase.


There are currently four generators available to power Seabases:
A Seabase that receives damage to its exterior will also spring leaks, but the hull integrity will be unaffected. For the most part, only the player can damage a Seabase, typically through vehicle collisions: otherwise, aggressive [[Fauna]] will ignore one, though predators may be seen trying to attack prey species through the walls of a module containing an [[Alien Containment]] tank. Exceptions to this are [[Crashfish]] which can damage the base when they explode, and [[Tiger Plant]]s placed in an [[Exterior Growbed]], which can damage the base with missed shots.
* [[Solar Panel (Subnautica)|Solar Panel]]s, which work best near the surface
* [[Bioreactor (Subnautica)|Bioreactor]]s, which consume any organic matter for power
* [[Thermal Plant (Subnautica)|Thermal Plant]]s, which collect heat energy (use near Lava Geysers and Black Smokers)
* [[Nuclear Reactor (Subnautica)|Nuclear Reactor]]s, which consume [[Reactor Rod (Subnautica)|Reactor Rod]]s made from [[Uraninite Crystal (Subnautica)|Uraninite Crystal]]s
Bioreactors and Nuclear Reactors are built inside a [[Multipurpose Room (Subnautica)|Multipurpose Room]] or [[Large Room (Subnautica)|Large Room]]. Solar Panels and Thermal Plants are built outside and can be directly attached to the base or connected via [[Power Transmitter (Subnautica)|Power Transmitter]]s if the distance is too great.


Seabases do not require energy to operate in [[Game Modes|Creative Mode]].
Seabase modules built above water do not use the hull integrity system. If a base is partially above water, the components that are above will neither add to or subtract from the hull integrity of the base overall.


The following appliances and rooms draw power from the Seabase:
== Energy ==
* [[Fabricator (Subnautica)|Fabricator]]
[[Energy]] is a resource that needs to be managed for bases, much like Food, Water and Oxygen need to be for the player. All seabases, no matter what module, have a default of 0 power capacity. Different types of generator have different energy capacity. Bases that isn’t connected in any way handle their energy demands and generation individually.
* [[Battery Charger (Subnautica)|Battery Charger]]

* [[Power Cell Charger (Subnautica)|Power Cell Charger]]
=== Energy Production ===
* [[Modification Station (Subnautica)|Modification Station]]
Energy is produced by energy generators, all buildable by the player through the use of the [[Habitat Builder]]. There are four different types, two can only be built inside a [[Multipurpose Room]], and the other two must be placed externally. These last two can be located further away from the habitable parts of the seabase if the player rigs up [[Power Transmitter]]s to bridge the gap.
* [[Water Filtration Machine (Subnautica)|Water Filtration Machine]]

Each energy generator comes with its own '''energy storage capacity''' and its own '''energy generation rate.'''

Built inside a [[Multipurpose Room]]:
* [[Bioreactor]]s (capacity 500E, rate 50E/min) convert organic matter into a certain amount of energy at a set rate. Rate does not change with object.
* [[Nuclear Reactor]]s (capacity 2500E, rate 250E/min) convert [[Reactor Rod]]s into a certain amount of energy at a set rate

Built on their own:
* [[Solar Panel]]s (capacity 75E, the rate varies) convert light to energy during daylight hours at a variable rate affected by depth
* [[Thermal Plant]]s (capacity 250E, the rate varies) convert heat energy (build near [[Lava Geyser]]s and Black Smokers) at a variable rate affected by local water temperature

=== Energy Usage ===
Each appliance consumes a certain '''amount of energy''' for a task and it does this at a certain '''energy consumption rate.''' The energy requirement may be either continuous or only when a device is being used, depending on the type of device: for example, a [[Fabricator]] only uses energy while it is creating something, while a [[Floodlight]] uses energy constantly.

If energy is not being used, Bioreactors and Nuclear Reactors will not consume resources.

The following Appliances draw power from the Seabase:
* [[Fabricator]]
* [[Battery Charger]]
* [[Power Cell Charger]]
* [[Modification Station]]
* [[Water Filtration Machine]]
* [[Spotlight]]
* [[Spotlight]]
* [[Floodlight]]
* [[Floodlight (Subnautica)|Floodlight]]
* [[Scanner Room (Subnautica)|Scanner Room]] (fabricator and active scanning, along with recharging the Camera Drones)
* [[Moonpool]]
* [[Vehicle Upgrade Console]] (fabricator only)
* [[Scanner Room]] (fabricator and active scanning, along with recharging the Camera Drones)

Seabases do not require energy to operate in [[Game Modes|Creative Mode]]. A notable exception to this is the ability to dock a [[Seamoth]] in a [[Moonpool]], which does require power.

=== Energy transfer ===
[[Power Transmitter]]s are used to transfer energy. They come with some caveats. Most obviously, they can only transmit power from a generator to a base, not from a base to a distant power-demanding structure.

==Oxygen==
Seabases automatically produce [[Oxygen]] as long as there is power supplied. If the power is depleted, the Seabase will slowly lose oxygen, until it is completely gone.


== Oxygen ==
Oxygen is always available in any portion of a seabase that is above water, regardless of power.
Seabases automatically produce [[Oxygen]] as long as there is power supplied, and can be used as a remote oxygen source outside the base through a [[Pipes (Subnautica)|Base-attached Air Pump]] and Pipes. If the power is depleted, the Seabase will slowly lose oxygen until it is completely gone.

To deconstruct a Seabase module, equip the Habitat Builder and hold {{Key|Q}} (Xbox One and PlayStation 4:{{Key/PS4|dpaddown}}) while facing the module. If enough [[PDA|inventory]] space is available, the module will be deconstructed and all materials used to create the module will be returned to the player's inventory, one item at a time. Note that everything inside the module and attached to the outside of the module must be deconstructed (This excludes other Seabase modules, they do not need to be deconstructed in order to remove a part.) before the module itself can be deconstructed.

This article is about {{#explode:Seabases (Subnautica)|(}} in Subnautica. [[{{#explode:Seabases (Subnautica)|(}} (Below Zero)|Click here]] for information on this subject in Below Zero.
This article is about the Seabases. You may be looking for the Degasi Seabases.

Seabases are installations created by the player through the use of the Habitat Builder.

A Seabase provides an area where the Player can return for oxygen and serves as an alternative to Lifepod 5 as a base of operations. Within a seabase, the player can construct additional storage space, grow food, access Appliances not available in Lifepod 5, and add aesthetic options. Thus Seabases provide safe havens away from the Safe Shallows the player starts in.

In all Game Modes except Creative Mode, entering a Seabase secures the player's inventory, so if the player dies, they will return to the last Seabase they visited (Lifepod 5 and a Cyclops also count as Seabases for this purpose) and keep all the items in their inventory that they had when they were there. This occurs even if they die while inside the base in question: thus, quickly building a single I Compartment and a Hatch on the seabed can be a valid tactic to secure the player's inventory if they are about to die.

The player will start with most of the blueprints they need for a basic Seabase; at the bare minimum, one needs a Compartment, a Hatch, and a power generator (the Solar Panel is unlocked by default). The initial compartment must be built on or near the ground (or on a Foundation, which is not necessary but provides greater Hull Integrity and a flat surface to work with), but any additional compartments can overhang without any issue, allowing bases to be built over cliffsides. The player can acquire Blueprints which allow additional module types to be created.

Spoiler alert: The following section contains story related material.

Degasi Seabases can be found at the center and on the tops of the mountains of the Floating Island, Jellyshroom Cave, and Deep Grand Reef. These abandoned Seabases provide blueprints for additional base components that the player doesn't have access to by default, such as the Multipurpose Room and the Observatory. Other base components, power generators, appliances and, furniture, can be found in Wrecks.


Despite their name, Seabases can be built on land. When on land, hull integrity is not a factor, and bases can be built without the need for additional Reinforcements, Foundations, or Bulkheads. Power is still needed for them to operate, but not to provide oxygen.

Hull Integrity

Main article: Hull Integrity

Hull Integrity refers to the ability of the player's Seabase to withstand the pressure of the surrounding water, and as a mechanic slows the expansion of the Seabase. A Seabase starts at 10 integrity, but the majority of the modules will lower the integrity once added with the amount varying by module. As Seabases are built at a greater depth the integrity reduction caused by each module will increase. Hull integrity can be increased by constructing Reinforcement panels, placing a Seabase on or near a Foundation (foundations built on top of rooms will still provide their benefit), or installing Bulkheads on the ends of Compartment modules.

When the hull integrity of a Seabase is less than or equal to zero, it will begin to form hull breaches. Any corridor or room that is connected to the breach will begin flooding with water. Bulkheads can compartmentalize the base and prevent floodwaters from moving between compartments, but if the integrity remains below zero then eventually every compartment will develop a leak and the base will fill with water. To avoid this, quickly increase the base's integrity (by either adding strengthening components or removing weak components) and fix all hull breaches in the base using a Repair Tool.

A Seabase that receives damage to its exterior will also spring leaks, but the hull integrity will be unaffected. This is most likely to occur if the player hits the base with a Cyclops, as aggressive Fauna cannot damage bases. In this case, leaks will be limited to only the module that was hit and will not spread, making Bulkheads an effective method of preventing widespread flooding.

Energy Usage

Energy can be provided to a Seabase by building various types of generators near or inside the Seabase. Any number or combination can be used. Appliances such as the Fabricator will drain energy from the Seabase.

There are currently four generators available to power Seabases:

Bioreactors and Nuclear Reactors are built inside a Multipurpose Room or Large Room. Solar Panels and Thermal Plants are built outside and can be directly attached to the base or connected via Power Transmitters if the distance is too great.

Seabases do not require energy to operate in Creative Mode.

The following appliances and rooms draw power from the Seabase:

Oxygen

Seabases automatically produce Oxygen as long as there is power supplied, and can be used as a remote oxygen source outside the base through a Base-attached Air Pump and Pipes. If the power is depleted, the Seabase will slowly lose oxygen until it is completely gone.

How to Build a Seabase

  1. Find a suitable piece of seabed or land.
  2. Equip the Habitat Builder and press the appropriate key to bring up a crafting menu.
  3. In the Interior Pieces tab, select the desired module.
  4. Aim at the desired building place (the outline of the module will become green if the location is valid).
  5. Adjust the rotation if desired. You cannot rotate the moonpool once another module has been placed.
  6. Place the module with the correct button.
  7. Once placed, hold the correct key to add the required materials to finish the building process.
  8. Go to Step 2 and repeat for each room you want to build. Remember that once the desired module has been placed, other modules that are placed near it will snap to its position, making it easier to build.

To deconstruct a Seabase module, equip the Habitat Builder and hold the appropriate button while facing the module. If enough inventory space is available, the module will be deconstructed and all materials used to create the module will be returned to the player's inventory, one item at a time. Note that everything inside the module and attached to the outside of the module must be deconstructed (This excludes other Seabase modules, they do not need to be deconstructed to remove a part.) before the module itself can be deconstructed.

Build a habitat


How to obtain: The player has to construct a Seabase module, which requires the Habitat Builder to build.


Trivia

  • Originally when prototyping bases, the developers used square base pieces. This was seen in a developer update along with a screenshot of early base models on the Trello.
  • Several base pieces were cut during development. This includes examples such as the Specimen Analyzer, Power Generator, and Fragment Analyzer.
