I can't find anything put creative mod pictures of anyone having the balls to make a base in the dunes. Is there anyone out there that has?

    Wouldn't the greatest challenge be to build the base at the edge of the void?

    Challenge accepted. Any parameters you're looking for in this base?

    Once made a Scanner Room base near the Blood Kelp rift on the Dunes side. I think they put some Thermal Vents there, too, in the release version. Lots of resources. Just keep a distance from the Reapers.

    i would totally build a base in the dunes. best place would probably be near the wreck.

    If you are that afraid of the reapers, you can build a scanner room around there, and that allows you to track the position of the reapers

    There's actually two nice oasis of life in the dunes, quite inhabitable and one of them is without sandsharks... also that one has a gave with a gasopod which somersaults... so definitely worth checking out.

    Safest place in the Dunes i've found is in the two craters located there. One has a meteorite stuck in the bottom and there's a nearby cave with Precursor stuff inside. The other has some sort of smoking vents in it.
    Both are low enough to avoid Reapers as far as i can see, unless they follow you in there. The odd shark is swimming around though.

    That's where i built my base i think. Overlooking a cliff. Near blood kelp entrance. 300m away from 2 reapers.

    I built a base on the edge of the Void. I couldn't travel straight up otherwise I would get in a fight with a Reaper and every once in awhile a Ghost would wander by. 10/10 Terrible place for a base as I was just too far from any useful resources.

    Reapers are no sweat for me. I had a pain in the butt one move into the "safe" shallows with me.
    Was a blast trying to park my Prawn / Seamoth in the Moonpools.

    My next play through I plan to build there or an overhang into the void to play with the Ghosts XD

    Sorry been busy, I was just thinking it be the main base. So a semi-large sprawling structure. I'm doing a survival playthough and then I'm going to do a hardcore with my base in the dunes and Mountain area. Oh and a tiny starter in the SS.

    My dunes outpost:

    The one in the dunes proper was a fairly compact base, as you can see: it had water filtration and food, as well as the observation deck so I could watch the Reaper in my territory (or is that the other way around?) but that was about it. My main inhabitable base was on the ridge nearby.

    I would probably willingly build there again once I have started my new game in the post-release world (I need new headphones before I can; I refuse to play the game without proper surround sound!). There are more than a few areas where you have safe spots, and there are plenty of resources there. It's worthwhile, if extremely hazardous.

    I did a base in the dunes one time xD
    It was super ANNOYING, because i want to build the base near a reaper.
    Yas i did it somehow and it worked after two destroyed Seamoths xD
    I learned that i should build the moonpool first, the reaper can't grab it then haha


    It was definitely a funny experience but i wouldn' do it again
