Building new bases. Request.

(1/3) > >>

Crashdown:
When building new bases, part of said new base is unusable. Sometimes as many as four blocks. Is there a way of removing this feature from the game as I find it is irritating and senseless and really detracts from the enjoyment. Here I am running the protection of the world and my base choice seems to involve handing uncle Barney the family drunk a sixpack and some sandwiches and telling him to find a flat piece of ground to build on. ::) Not at all realistic and no fun when you have half your new base as a screw up from word go. I am all for realism but for this can we pretend there are fewer idiots in 2084. ;D

Gren:
Some players like this feature (can't think why tbh) but I usually get around it by saving just before placing your base. That way, if you get a base template with more than one locked area.. you can just reload and place the base again..

Might take a few attempts, but I guess it's worth it..  ::)  ;)

Nutter:
To be honest I still don't get it. It just arbitrarily fucks with your construction plans.
It's not like we don't have high explosives, plasma and later antimatter to take care of any tougher rock.
And I seriously doubt there's any rock so tough that it can't be dealt with using proper heavy machinery at that depth anyway.
I mean we can shoot down orbiting alien motherships but we can't break some measly gravel?

Telok:
Bit of a bugger isn't it?

What probably bothers me more is that after I get the sub level map, of the area my drunken monkey with a dowsing rod found for me, I can't just ditch the site and choose another. I don't mind losing the down payment on the lot. Money is falling out of the sky, after all. But I'm locked into this like a Houdini wanna-be kid stuffed into the family safe by his older brother. There's no way out, ever. I can't even build an anti-matter storage there, ship a gram over, and crater the place.

Well, to be honest, it lands properly.

But what's really annoying is how it automatically places your entrance.
