The Seamoth will always dock facing left when looking directly in the same direction as when the Moonpool was placed (I.E. Hopefully one day the game will let us rotate those ladders. For this reason, most of my base builds have the Moonpool orientation seen above, otherwise I have to deal with awkwardly placed ladders that seem to get in the way. Saldy, this would also change the orientation of the Ladders.
If I wanted the Moonpool to align with the smaller side on the front of the small base, then I'd have to change my own orientation when laying down the initial compartment. Once placed, it's easier to see the orientation. Relative to your position, the Moonpool will always appear perpendicular to you along the long side and if attaching it to an existing compartment, there is no way to rotate it. The ladder rule still applies which means ladders will always align perpendicular to the long side of the Moonpool. This means that you can't rotate the Moonpool by repositioning yourself unless it's the first item you place. Once the first compartment is placed, the Moonpool will always align along it's long side (The side with two connections) compared to the first compartment placed. Ladders placed in the multipurpose room will always align with the ladder along the outer circumferance of the compartment to give you as much foot room as possible, the exception being a centered placed ladder - this will follow the same ladder rule mentioned above. Keep in mind that this only effects ladders placed in the connector compartments such as the I, L, T, and X. If you ever get turned around while inside of a base and forget which direction your station is facing, this lettering will get you orientated.
Now note which side of the lettering the ladder gets placed. Note the unused hatch, which happens to always have text that appears upside down when facing the same direction of the compartment placement. I will need to enter in order to build a ladder to reach the 2nd level.īy entering the base from the same side it was facing when I built it, it's easier to see the alignment. In this next screenshot, I've added a hatch and upper level but I'm still in the same position. In this first screenshot, I'm about to lay down a X compartment.
This cannot be emphasized enough because it ties with all of the other orientation issues below. This also means that the direction you face when placing the first compartment determines the 'front' and 'rear' of the base. The ladder will align with the forward most part of the hatch when facing the same direction that you were facing when placing the compartment. The direction you face when placing the first compartment of your base determines which side of the hatch the ladder gets placed on. However, you can still deal with them once you understand the mechanics. If you're like me and somewhat obsessive with builds, then these issues will be a major drag. There are three orientation issues when building in Subnautica.
