Iceberg Mega Base in Subnautica Below Zero!

hey how's it going my name is Felix and welcome to the ice pop version of subnautica subnautica below zero wanted to finally get to the game that gave us the large rooms which I use all the time throughout all my base builds I absolutely love them and I know that subnautica below zero had a bit more of an emphasis on face building so I kind of wanted to jump in and see what it had to offer unfortunately I did find out real quick that subnautica below zero isn't as big as in the map itself is a lot smaller it feels a little really cluttered so it took me a bit to find where exactly I could even throw in a large base because I like to be a little extra you know these small bases as cute and nice they are you know how else are they gonna house my internal Madness of hundreds of people who aren't actually here but in my mind I see them and so in order to create such a large base as I like to do definitely he was a struggle finding an area that could fit everything and then I decided there's a huge emphasis in the game of land travel and a lot more walking on land and swimming in the water why not make a land base I think it offers just a whole new challenge in and of itself just because I can't like you know swim up and down to try and you know navigate the whole base structure Plus in my opinion it looks really really beautiful especially at night so with that in mind I welcome you to the kind of Iceberg land base I you know these names are always going to be a work in progress but you get the idea where I found a whole bunch of these little icebergs and I thought it would be really cool to kind of have like different sections of the icebergs be different parts of the base and then I use these bridges in order to get from one section of the bit it all works together it all it looks really cool but definitely was a challenge trying to mostly get the bridges work and connected from each part of the base mostly because the game does kind of get funky a little whenever you're trying to build on land and like over huge like chasms game really does not like floating land pieces and if you are curious I'm pretty sure that the base is in the west Arctic I think this is the location I'm not really too certain I get really confused on the biomes quite often but I'm pretty sure this is where the base is anyways let's begin by showing you what I generally consider the entrance to the space and that is going to be the main primary dock now in order to kind of de-emphasize the idea of any underwater base or anything like that and really focus on this being a land-based I didn't want to add too much structures underwater so this is very small docking area for some sea trucks and also a prawn suit if you don't need be but it did make sense to add a function in an area so we could actually have vehicles be connected to the dock it does give the dock itself a lot more actual functionality rather than you know just kind of being pretty and looking really nice I definitely miss having the storage boxes from the decorations mod that could have at least made the dock look a little more filled in and just having like you know real storage being put around in like cargo boxes and things but you know we kind of make do with what we have so coming into the base something I really like to have stress was the importance of making sure the base didn't feel like a track where you go from Like A to B and it was like a long tube you know ever play those racing games where the tracks are just from one starting point to the end that's kind of how I feel a lot of bases end up and then so I kind of wanted to make sure the bass was more like a circle like a closed circuit so that you can get from one point of the base in like a full loop rather than oh you walk all the way to the end of the base now you gotta walk all the way back to the start of the base you know so that's where the base mostly branches off here you can kind of go forward in order to directly reach where all the living kind of areas are or you can head straight left which will lead to more of the working and the offices some of the labs and then that also then again leads back into the living areas you'll also notice that there is a right Branch now there isn't too much this way I did want to throw in what serves as an observation room just nice and isolated away from everything else if I had a telescope or something I'd probably put it in here definitely can imagine like some researchers studying the stars in the constellations of this planet now heading back down and running through the rest of the kind of right side branch of the main entrance the only other room I've included in this area is where the water treatment plan is where we make all of our clean water for the base and have provided you know plenty of storage so we can throw in all the unnecessary salt we need also just some offices in the back I guess some people here can be making sure the water treatment is going well and we've got enough water to fly for the rest of the Basin knowing where to deliver it when to deliver it and we've got our water filtration machines to create our water and just some maintenance areas just in case we got to work on the machines or anything and now I'm gonna take you all through the left side branch of the base because going well right or gets technically straight from the main entrance wraps all the way to the main primary part of the base where all the living and everything is so instead we're gonna go left and we'll reach our first primary energy source for the base you know not counting all the solar panels I kind of just throw around everywhere we've got the whole bioreactor room kind of serves as somewhat of a little Greenhouse as well mostly just to feel all the bioreactor stuff and no I have not thrown any penguins in there not yet anyways I haven't wronged me I don't believe continuing on I had to figure out a pretty decent way of being able to descend to higher levels as you can see the iceberg does start to get a lot taller very quickly and so what I've kind of created once again I reused my idea of the Spiral ladders so we have something that stands out a bit more and is easier to get up and down but then I also thought rather than it just being a ladder to try and you know get all the way up why not also turn it into a lighthouse I feel like it's also in Prime position right on the edge of the iceberg to warn any you know if we do have any ships or something I guess don't Ram into the docks and I've put some spotlights on top I think they do the best that they can to act like lights well you can actually reach the very top and you will see there's a nice viewing platform our Lighthouse operator would be working here and making sure that nothing is uh hopefully not ramming into the iceberg base so we continue on forward and this is actually where the main idea from the base really stemmed off of is this first bridge I built and I after I started building it I just started thinking wow it's really cool being able to connect the two pieces of land together like all these little kind of platforms of the iceberg I also thought building this bridge is really cool it was kind of awkward because you know I I can't swim or anything so I have to like try and finagle my way around to put the extra pieces underneath because you know I still believe in my idea where I like to make things look or at least feel supported rather than it just kind of floating in the air best I can you know in subnautica you know you do what you have to we are starting to get to the section where it's mostly where a lot of the researchers would be working like labs and the command center so as we move along we are going to be passing just a couple of offices that I kind of throw around there's going to be kind of like a computer lab as well you know I guess if any extra researchers need their own kind of PC time we got some laughs for that moving into the quintessential building of the working area we've got a stack of three large rooms and we're gonna be starting from the bottom moving our way up through each level starting with the bottom we have our chief research lab for the base I feel like this this is a pretty basic lab don't really know what else to say about it to be honest because you know it's just nice place for our researchers to study whatever the heck they are studying on this planet I don't really know I'm not a scientist but you know one notable highlight I'm glad they put showers in this game I know you could probably use showers for like obviously other reasons like in the bathroom you know some Labs have those like safety showers just in case something happens I'm pretty sure they're mostly in like chemistry labs and I don't even know if this is really a chemistry lab it's just a lab you know just in case I guess we have a safety shower I thought it was a nice little added bonus onto the second floor where I've made a large conference room probably for all the major leaders of the base and things contact whoever outside of the base I guess they need and there's also a large video board on the back as we come around in this hallway we can take this ladder up in this very long hallway but once we climb up and make our way through as you can see we will have our third floor where we've got the command center and some scanner room things as well as the main bases like customization room thing I can't remember what it's called I believe it is the just the control room so if I I guess need to monitor any of the vitals and or um edit the base it's a nice function that they added into subnautica below zero where you can also like turn off lights or turn off certain functions of your base but I really haven't found a major use of it to be honest regardless on the very tip top third floor of this building we've got the sensor control room for the entire base and I made this room before I even had put in the control room so I didn't know what the control room looked like but I also made a center console as well because I I thought you know you'd have all the people kind of surrounded and if there was a cool like map of the area or like a big computer they would be tapping on here I don't know if you ever watch like Hawaii Five own they have that huge like Center computer that they always use that's what I imagine would be here now it makes it a little sad that the main control room actually has like a really cool base hologram only I could somehow like uninstall it and like shove it over here it would look so much cooler but as we continue along our way we will run across the central dormitory for all the researchers and when you come into the dormitory there is a Lobby and just kind of a relaxing area for everyone to sit in but there are three personal rooms for our researchers uh two of them are kind of single beds and then the middle one being a third bed and you know what's a really nice added feature as well in subnautica below zero are these more personalized bed sheets I guess they're meant for very specific researchers in the game I don't know I just kind of still their sheets I guess makes for some nicer individualized beds gives a bit more Charming I don't know makes the room feel I guess like there are some people living here with their own personalities at this point we have reached the innermost area of the base where a lot of the living and kind of relaxing areas where all the research is going to be things like cafeterias and stuff there is also a nuclear power plant and as we continue to move along we will eventually reach you know with all the new added bathroom pieces that subnautica bz decided to add in which I think is interesting I mean it's nice don't really use them as much I mean I guess we're civilized people we had to have toilets nowadays you know I guess we'll never ask how the main protagonists of subnautica one he I don't know maybe just let it rip in the ocean or something but hey we're civilized now and with that all the new pieces I decided to make a huge communal bathroom kind of like if you've ever been in a dormitory for like a college or something they always have these kind of communal bathrooms and showers for everybody to use and we've got the same principle kind of um being used here and coming out of our unnecessary fancy bathrooms uh I provided just a nice outdoor area for the researchers to kind of relaxed I'd imagine they could do some outdoor activities or something out here maybe if we had like a basketball hoop or something even though I can't imagine playing basketball in like negative 50 degree weather would be very nice maybe they could just like run little small laps out here or something and across from our outdoor area is going to be the tunnel that leads all the way to the cafeteria and one of the main communal lobbies kind of the relaxing area but we're gonna save that for now and instead head to the to the two innermost large buildings which is gonna house on the bottom floor we've got the clinic and as per usual once you step into Clinic there is the usual reception and waiting area for all of our patients as well as your daily game show because uh I I do still believe you'll always hear some sort of weird game show actually I feel like they've changed the TV programming now and when you go to like dentists and doctor offices it's like it's a lot of home improvement shows nowadays maybe I should throw a home improvement show on there but the back end of the houses and beds for our patients um once again gotta kind of use your imagination I imagine this is the kind of open floor plan of a clinic where they would have curtains that go across to cover all the beds and keep the patients a bit more private because we don't exactly have separate rooms for all the patients so you know just uh close your eyes uh essentially when someone's uh getting checked up on well they're actually and then there is a singular personal room in the back for I guess something uh a bit more serious and I do like the inclusion of all the sinks now gotta make sure we're clean and uh hygienic around here I will note that unfortunately the clinic itself kind of lost a bit of purpose because in the original subnautica game in order to get Med kits there was actually like a very specific Med kit Builder you had to make but in this they've kind of changed it where instead you just there's a recipe for it in the fabricator which I guess makes it more streamlined but then I just don't get like a dedicated medkit machine anymore so kind of lost uh you know some more real functionality for the clinic that uh that we had an original subnautica but lost it here unfortunately but anyways moving on we're gonna go right across the way which is how you get to the second floor of the large rooms the large buildings in the middle of this area and we are going to reach the primary main Central you know all the big keywords here for the fabrication and just where I would store all the stuff make everything this is the room for it so anything that needs to be made for the base would happen in this room also got the uh new recycled machine so we could also break down any unnecessary things we don't need speed as well as the upgrader and as the two primary buildings in the uh Center are connected we can just easily walk across because they are connected and we will reach what serves as the main greenhouse and where I can get all the food for the base at least Greenery wise rather than just fish there actually is some fish tanks below where the researchers would probably be studying some of the more sea life also got some penglings in there and I don't know we could probably change it out one of these for a more uh fish variety one if we do need a more fishy diet at the base I could imagine that could be done but these two buildings do serve as most of the Flora and Fauna research kind of areas for um the iceberg base speaking of which of talking about the fauna room this is also how you get to the main outdoor area where we'll be studying most of the outdoor kind of Flora of the planet and there's also going to be a lot of solar panels generally lots of power being held out here okay look I know you're gonna see some thermal plants you get power from these by using like heat sources and stuff and I know it's above land and has serves no purpose but I think they look really cool out here they're like mini antennas if we had some more like communication systems or something that's what I think they they look like plus you know when I surround them with solar panels they it looks like a giant solar array or something yeah this platform is kind of funny because there's a lot of just random things I I've tried to fill it in as best I could I decided oh wow wouldn't it be really cool to have a hover bike platform out here that looks that looks super awesome uh but now I've realized that the hover bike is stuck and it can't leave I don't know how else to get it out of here so it it's like a nice statue and it's just gonna sit here in the middle forever and not be useful in any way possible probably like the most of the features of this space to be honest heading back inside you know I I'm making all these jokes about how useless a lot of the features outside of the bases and I've now come to realize how even more useless it really is because now I'm gonna go around and show you the nuclear power plant section of the base which really takes over all the power you know we have a bile reactor room we have all these solar panels but yeah we don't really need I mean they're nice to have in reality you don't you don't really need them the nuclear power plant typically does what it needs to do in this game and you really only need one and because I'm crazy I've got two of them uh yeah it serves it does it does its job more than adequately but just a simple nuclear reactor room nothing too fancy going on and as per usual always love throwing the reinforcements to surround it as a precautionary just in case I guess and now we're gonna run all the way to the technically front of the most centralized part of the base where we are going to have two major rooms and on the right we have the cafeteria to serve all the researchers and along with the cafeteria nice little dining tables and benches for them to all sit at there is going to be a kitchen in the back so that they can prep the food and now that the game actually gives us fridges and sinks and little stove tops it definitely makes it look a lot more like a kitchen wow and now we will make our way across we have finally reached the last room to show you in the base which is going to be the primary Hub kind of centralized Lobby for all the researchers trying to hang around and just relax watch some television and gotta keep up with the games even if you're on a distant planet probably you know thousands of light years away from home base and like some jukeboxes so they can listen to music and some computers you know if anyone needs to surf the web maybe they'd be sitting around playing card or something if only I could try uh I really you got a real ease your imagination I put some tables back here and I don't know they could probably be playing some like pong back here or something but could we just like somehow like just put edit in I don't know like a like a pool table I feel like this is where a pool table would be this is where I would put a pool table if I had one this is where it would be and then other than like some vending machines and stuff yeah you also got a really nice view of the rest of the base from here uh it's so pretty at night but I think that is going to be the uh last part of the base to show you because at this point you'll see the branch kind of just wraps around back to the main entrance as I mentioned before where I wanted to make this a closed circuit so this is how you get back to the main entrance from the living area but other than that I think I've showed you pretty much everything of the iceberg base this was really fun to build I mean there were definitely some challenging Parts just because I can't swim so have to find some weird angles in order to try and get on top of things and then like having to build myself my own platforms just to get onto a different platform otherwise I think it turned out really well and I think it was just a really cool challenge to kind of do a land base and I don't think that is a very common thing in subnautica I had a lot of fun and if you enjoyed watching this tour and seeing these base builds hope you consider dropping like or even subscribing and sticking around or whatever comes next I've been a little addicted to some other games admittedly lately now if you do want to catch my other base Builders of Nautica you can click the card right on the screen which will take you to the lava city megabase but anyways my name is Felix hope you enjoyed and I'll catch you again next time bye
