Bio-Dome?

Who would love to see a biodome added into the game? A large room with a glass dome and maybe glass windows that can act as a greenhouse for your plants. Not only would this be a great base building addition, but it could be made functional like maybe plants grow wice as fast in the sunlit biodome and produce twice as much?

And I agree! Only I believed the glass dome should be an add-on, like the window but installed on the roof. Regardless, it would make an awesome arboretum I especially like that plants would grow faster under the glass ceiling.
Maybe a little smaller than this one

In space Engineers or Minecraft what I make is limited only by my resourcefulness and creativity. While I enjoy the breathtaking vistas Subnautica offers, I find that there's less room for creativity. Base building is as easy as snapping parts together for the most part. (Don't get me started on the crooked solar panels!)
What if the biodomes were made up of differently sized and shaped modules? Place a number of modules in a shape leaving space in the middle, connect some power, and a shield extends from each of the modules you placed creating the dome. Kinda like this: Stargate Atlantis Shield Activation
The modules could come in various heights. Low, Medium, and High. Each having a corner version.
Low could be nothing more than a shield emitting sprip on the ground. Perfect an unobstructed view of that beautiful ocean.
Medium could be a waist high wall with a shield emitter.
High could be a player high wall with a shield emitter, but also allows for items to be attached to it like fabricators, storage, etc. The high modules would be the ones that also allow connectors, hatches, and connections from other buildings like the multi-purpose rooms.
Other design choices would be whether or not players can build other buildings inside, and can the player pass through the shield.
Personally, I would hope players could build inside of them. With certain exceptions of course. Building a moonpool inside a biodome would be kinda pointless, but to be able to basically build inside a bubble would be nice. I could worry about placing my solar panels in a straight line without having to worry about air or of getting attacked.
Power drain from the shield would probably need to depend on size and depth.
Sorry about the rather long (probably rambling) post, but it's late and the OP and the pictures caused the "whoa wouldn't it be awesome if?" effect.
