It's great to see them incorporate some of the most popular mods like S+ into the base game. Almost all of these (besides the updated physics changes) are straight from S+ and it makes me a lot less hesitant to wait for mods before building a serious base. The biggest non S+ change was putting all the various wall pieces into one blueprint and craft which was massive, to whoever designed that, than you.

[@sirduncan2163]

They hired the mod creator of S+ that is why the new improvements are so good

[@padarousou]

The building looks great in ASA and the qol with building was much needed really its even comparable to conan now

[@HallyVee]

[@ThePunikaTV]

They should add optional hatchframes and change the model of the water intake (it looks like it should be connected to something), other than that the changes look great!

[@Ryniegan]

Honestly vacuum compartments going to be the move I think. I was exploring the underwater for like 15mins and found a few quasi-caves and ratholes. Just have a Dino pen and teleporters on land

i heard somewhere that the S+ creator Orionsun is the one who did most of the work on the building system for ASA

[@wet0wl]

Agreed. Massive W for building. If this was released on console when stated (not blaming them but would be nice) and it was more optimised for lower end PC’s it’s pretty much a perfect release.

[@Laocoon283]

Some of these are just balance changes. Can't the server admin tweak them anyway? Like the turret range or saddle structure limit? The rest are QOL changes like the remaining time on a generator which should have been there since the start or just S+ features. I'll say this, Wildcard are better than Starfield devs. Aside from that, at least it looks better but in a pvp server you will crank that shit down for performance anyway. Imagine raiding a megatribe.

Great video. Just a quick question. Do cannons still do damage to structures? Also i believe giant metal hatchframes came with scorched, or so ive seen in other comments sections

Possible that they might have just removed them entirely considering the hatch works as its own frame now. Wouldn't mind seeing them again for turret trees but it looks like they might not even be necessary now that turrets can be placed anywhere.
