  1. this is so much better than the old method everyone was advertising of just stacking stairs as until you hit the base limit and then setting down a new base computer and rinsing and repeating then going back and deleting all the stairs. spent more time on the setup than the actual base with that method.

    Update: just tried it and it keeps saying invalid placement for the landing pad.

  2. As an alternative (I tried dozens of times to get that first platform when opening the base comp, was about to admit failure) decided to build platform on surface and built stairs up and out till I reached the limits of building then placed landing pad out and above last stair and it worked! It let me make a new Base comp then I made a NEW landing pad from the newly commissioned BC and Deleted the original BC

  3. Why not just keep the 1st computer on the ground? Seemed like you still had plenty of free area to build – I also usually just walk while scanning for energy to find the center spot

  5. I love it, i'm trying it currently. I'm struggling with putting that landing pad down gonna look for alternatives, think they patched the 'can place a landing pad 1000 meters above my head' stuff.

  6. Not sure but this wasn't working for me it would just appear red, going to try again later see if it works for me, if not it's going to be a long day of using walls so I can reach that height… 😭

  7. Do not listen to this person if you're playing on Xbox I have literally wasted 4 bass computers trying to do this yeah you can build a platform there the second that you do exactly how he does second you load in the game it's not there at all and you can't even delete the bass computers there permanently there and no matter how often you tried to build it will not allow you to build do not do this on Xbox I am fed up with trying and at this point I'm just thinking that his entire base is a big ass mod only on PC does not work on Xbox I repeat does not work on Xbox to the point where I'm feeling like it's a scam
