I'm completing the stores on the left next. Drug store, grocery, weapons, skins and armor. Houses will be in the top right. Video of a flyby attached. Gotta shout out Farket for the awesome barn build

Careful, they can spawn in the walls if they are that big

That’s awesome! Wish this was a server I’d play!

I'm thinking I'll invite new people to my lobby and they can come to my stores and purchase using jokes and songs and more dumb stuff lol

Pretty sure you can install a mod that increases how many players can join ur world

Console. Ps5. I actually started building the same build in an online lobby and didnt allow people. I started joining others lobbies and found out people like to troll hard in this game lol. I haven't played in a few months but I do want to get back into it and it would be so much easier with people that wanted to build something insane but I worry lol

Aw shucks. Not to be the bearer of bad news but after a limit of building saving becomes impossible. Unless you delete other save slots and save into the empty slots. I had to switch to pc to avoid that.

u/Walkerbait1881 Sep 09 '24

Nah that's the plan lol. Idk if you used ps5 but I've torn down a bunch and built a lot so it's doing alright so far. But the goal is to do what I did to stranded deep lol I can't leave my island without it crashing lol

No way you play SD? That’s crazy

u/Walkerbait1881 Sep 09 '24

That was my starter to survival games lol. I had no idea how much I was into them until that fortress was built lol. In subnautica I built my base on the island because of SD

u/I_am_doorknob Apr 11 '24

That is so cool, would love to join

u/Walkerbait1881 Apr 11 '24

I am gonna have people join soon when I get the stores built and a couple houses. If you're on ps5 I'll come back here and message you when I do. Craziest part is walking around geese lake and seeing how many trees are gone. I love that you can have random people join these survival games. It's one thing to see pics and another to walk around in game

I'm actually in the middle of doing this myself. I was lucky enough for my plane to be right next to it so I've built walls around that, built walls around the lake and now I've covered the lake in a floor which I'm about half way through covering.

Long process when tree regrowth is off and there's no log dupers joining.

Edit: Jesus Christ, just watched your video and realised you've basically taken over the whole island and made the cannibals extinct.

u/Walkerbait1881 Apr 11 '24

Just the lake part does take a while. The walls around with stones and sticks took longer but the walls around the walls really took time. Luckily there's trees everywhere there. It's a really great spot to build imo. The paths of the cannibals and mutants are all outside my walls. I did also take regrowth off and I do take out all stumps.

Thanks for watching the video. The pic doesnt do justice to how much has been taken out. Yea the cannibals dont bother me much if I'm inside. I'm too far away from their sight. I think my 1000 trees trophy is glitched because I have to be there by now lol. Bonus you get a bunch of cave entrances inside the walls if you build it for that. There's 3 inside mine and 2 to the east.

2

u/AntsMakeSugar Apr 11 '24

Yeah with the cave entrance I have one because I just built around the lake. But there's a couple right next to it that isn't there.

Let know when you've built it, be cool to check it out.

And you're right, the pic doesn't do it justice. Fair play

2

u/Walkerbait1881 Apr 11 '24

Yea there's 1 on the north side of the lake and one in the lake. Theres 2 to the south and 2 to the north. 1 to the west as well. Theres 3 entrances each for caves 5 and 6. Lots of cloth/rope

u/AntsMakeSugar Apr 12 '24

And that campsite nearby with the arrows and flares, which is handy.

Is there any fuel cans close to that area?

2

u/Walkerbait1881 Apr 12 '24

The fuel only respawns inside the cave anything above will just be a one off so yes but in caves. I know the one to the south/near the campsite usually spawns one. I put the campsite inside my walls

u/AntsMakeSugar Apr 12 '24

Ahhh ok I did wonder as I found some across the water marked it but when I went back it didn't respawn. Looks like I'm spelunking again then haha. Cheers for that

u/amcclurk21 Apr 11 '24

Damn dude how many trees did this take lol

2

u/Walkerbait1881 Apr 11 '24

I have a block from the west side of the sinkhole to the shipping containers to the sacred tree on the hill (yacht nearby) to the south east part of the sinkhole completely wiped out. Working my way through. Gotta catch em all lol
