New idea for your base

N340

I love this game. I really do. I've been to forums and I've read comment boxes for videos and heard the ideas other people have come up with, but I have never heard this idea from anyone else. My idea is a control module or a control station meant to be inside a base. Like the vehicle modification station but inside a multipurpose room. I think it would be a good idea to be able to change the color of your home from the regular blue and gray to anything else you would want. The functions I think this upgrade should have are:
Changing the color of your base
The ability to dim the lights
Naming your base
Putting a custom beacon on your base so you can see it by name
Command your moonpools to charge your vehicles slower, if you have any
Shut or open doors if you have any
I think this would give the player a greater level of personalization in their homes. I think that the developers should see this idea if they haven't thought of it already.

Personally, the only change for the Base that I really want that is a variation of something on this list is the ability to dim the lights in specific rooms. Some Alien Containments like one with Creepvines look much better in the dark. This would not fit as part of a Control Station, but as a light switch.

We can already put a custom beacon on our bases and see it by name even though it looks out of place. Maybe have the Beacons for early game and the Control Console for later in the game to find the base. For the shut or open doors idea, I assume it is for shutting every door in case the base starts flooding?

I had the same exact idea

Personally I'd think you shouldn't start the same idea with more than a thread. Your ideas are good, but I and others had older threads with thoughts of a control room. I think some additional ideas not mentioned by you were:

• ability to flood sections of your base
• have a defense map display of creatures around your base like the scanner room map
• the same map could display the breaches and bulkheads inside your base
• organise and control base defenses for creature attacks from central switches to units like searchlights or defense pylons

You can name your base through a beacon and picture frame as a workaround for the time being like so.
