That Exo Mech fighting arena is going to turn out pretty fine!  
Can’t wait to show the ‘real’ result…

## Help!

I am having trouble deciding on colours for the arena floor! 🥴

Let me know which colour combo you would prefer to see through the poll below.  
I have included day/night images for each option.

Your vote is appreciated and will hopefully help me figure it out 😉

I finally found a Paradise like planet with Mild Rain. No storms. So I had to move my base.  
With 2 Plaques, a waypoint and one Abandoned Building on the nearby islands, I decided to set up an observation post nearby.

Thanks everyone for the feedback using the poll. Both the brightest and the darkest variants were least voted for, which leaves the remaining 3 undecided, For now I have chosen to go with the yellow, as it stands out very well due to contrast, while still bright.

There is nothing available that is brighter than the default white/orange colour choice. A full white floor would certainly stand out, which may actually be possible using the divider walls for cuboid rooms.

However, my main issue is getting the area proper lit in the first place. Lights are terrible in NMS and I honestly hope HG plans on fixing them to truly give light. I have flood lights placed, but they don’t actually shine at all. Coloured lights are placed around the floor, truly shining, but with terrible reach. Candelabra Bloom has better reach and even brighter, of which I have a few hidden (scaled down) around the outer edges. It is still not enough to get anything large like the Exo Mech properly lit. We’ll just have to pretend seeing the full details of a rough fight, blood, sweat, tears, and spills 😉

On a side note, I may actually change location, as I am currently working on it on a dead planet with low gravity. Daylight does not really appear too bright, so a change of planet may do this build well.

I feel I have almost finished up, so I’ll include some pics below:

On the red side! (lights blink and music plays)

Oh yes, I bet making proper lights is not going to ‘help’ performance.

On that note, moving the base from a dead planet, to the new ‘lush’ location, did not really help much either 🤣

I think I have finished the arena build at once again 3000 parts, pffttt. With having trouble finding flat terrain, I found these craters actually working perfectly fine. I will wrap up tomorrow with full details and hopefully a new video. Here is a quick screenshot showing a preview of the final result.

Hello, everyone.  
Newb here to your wonderful forum.

Stumbled across this community from Googling base building tips and examples. … and I’m just blown away at some of what you all have done here. So much so I created an account so I may participate and so I could post here today.  
A lot of what id displayed here is so far beyond me I can only gaze in wonder, but a lot too is (I hope) well within my capability as I learn and practice building.  
Clearly there are some very imaginative and talented players here.

Keep up the great work!

Anyone get bored and want to pay me a visit please do so and any feedback is welcome! The photo shows what I call the Star Wars Bar (Work In Progress) . I have 2 bases and as you can see, quick access to the portal 🙂.

This is site 1 of 2 of my home planet / systems and will share the coordinates to the other once I have completed more there. I haven’t played much lately, but you can always psn or message here.

Happy Travels friends!
