I know most people just do the weekly Nexus mission for the quicksilver rewards and like to get it done as soon as possible. Whenever there is a new weekly Nexus mission, I set up a quick base in the target system and just spend my time in that system for the whole week until there is a new mission at a new system. I delete the base of course whenever the Nexus mission changes as the base is only meant to be temporary. Here is what I have observed. There appears to be a culture that creates bases in Nexus mission systems every week. So I spend the week planet exploring, ship hunting, interceptor hunting if its a dissonant system, visiting player bases, 1 derelict freighter run since it is a new system, and fishing. I have also observed there is currently a preference for bases to be fishing huts, fishing shacks, or fishing platforms. Multi-player appears to be disabled at the moment, but you will definitely run into players more frequently as long as you follow the weekly Nexus base building pilgrimage. I know everyone has their huge favorite base on a beautiful paradise planet. But here is a quick functional base that I use for the weekly Nexus missions. The goal is functionality but to also make it look like a lifeform actually uses it to live in. The base is 2x2 with 2 cuboid rooms and 2 curved cuboid rooves as the base. The 2 cuboid rooms are capped with cuboid roof caps. It is powered by 3 solar panels and 2 batteries. The solar panels and batteries are all on the roof. The roof also has a meterological spinner and a dish receptor antenna, these are just for aesthetics. The room pictured in the center is the kitchen. ![baseoutside1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/a/8/a853546f14fb878e1f64335a8ab11c0595d8e3b8.jpeg) Here is the front door. The room has 2 hydroponic trays. In the background is the alternative ship landing pad. ![baseoutside2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/0/6/06893daea7b4dc39603ff4ec089b3223a0d193cb.jpeg) This corner contains the teleport module. ![baseoutside3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/1/b/1b6d4cd11b5cbc78bd22829169b9797dc2533748.jpeg) This is the bedroom. ![baseoutside4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/6/0/60f3d92dfaa53bfb46ac17f4c2599e442553b8cf.jpeg) Here is the view from the inside of the entry room. There are 2 hydroponic trays growing star bulb and fungal mould. ![baseinside1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/0/6/064557927d597ea6f9cdad41a22fe3ae700abd40.jpeg) Here is the base teleport module. The flora containment is just for aesthetics. ![baseinside2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/6/5/65ee45e5d0a7d0b9c14c15faf25da5f66f5f3826.jpeg) This is the kitchen. It has a food processor. The table, chair, station billboard, and bubble duct are for aesthetics. ![baseinside3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/3/7/37786cc6aba2d7cece0309ffc6f6de1b3113a49b.jpeg) This is the bedroom with a save point. Posters, decals, and standing planter for aesthetics. ![baseinside4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/0/f/0fc64fa1eaa54cd9d6b3cb3791b02ce7d38e822b.jpeg) I find that I don’t need storage containers for this quick temporary base as I use my ship to store inventory. I would like the base to have more functionality so I’m experimenting with slightly more rooms. I’m also trying to design a quick base using the ragged tent as its basis. But this 2x2 base can be setup so quickly and it has been my goto quick base design for a while now. ---

Thanks for sharing this insight into the Nexus Missions Nomadic Culture. It’s like a little weekend burning man you guys are putting on together 🙂 I used to do this the odd time on my PC playthrough,(generally if it’s the one that asks you to build a base) some I’ve kept as they remind me of something good that happened that particular week. I fell out of practice and then hit the base part limit when I got hooked on the PC Desktop Builder app '^\_ ^ I must take the practice back up again on console. I have also been making nothing but fishing huts 😛 ---

I hadn’t considered being a Weekend Event Groupie following the crowd. I rarely have more than 2 ‘lavish’ bigger bases but I have regularly made ‘camps’. I used to just ponk down a modular cylinder base equipped with the basics of power & teleportation. These days its the resizable autophage tent & sometimes a few random extras for fun. Although I think it ‘steals’ some materials to do it, I often just delete the whole base & rebuild using the Base Salvage thingy. ---

I saw Stu had a base for this. Stu turns up everywhere. This is one of those things that makes me wish we could have a few saved base patterns stored so we could just plop it down, all ready to go. I usually put out a tent like a field camp. ---

> [@sheralmyst](#): > > This is one of those things that makes me wish we could have a few saved base patterns stored I’ve been wishing that for a long time, because I can’t be bothered to build intricate bases, and sharable templates would be an absolute blast for me. Just take a neat design that someone else made and plop it down, pay the resources, done. ---
