Complete Beginner's Guide to Building Basics | No Man's Sky Base Building Essentials

[@Beeblebum]

Many players might not be very excited about collecting all the salvaged data, nanites and credits to unlock parts or get the resources - Creative mode or adjusting the difficulty mode will totally take away that grind. Ofcourse, building parts that are rewards from the Quicksilver vendor or Expeditions need to be earned - these rewards are cross save however, so you only need to unlock these once.

[@KurtacusRex]

after the first few seasons I began absolutely save editing a few things. 1. backpack, that grind was horrible im only doing it once 2. my fleet, i aint rebuilding all that

[@BorgX666]

hats off to you beebs for re-doing the basics tutorials after all this time and after you did it before

[@ytdlder]

I second this; just started the game and such up2date videos are absolutely awesome!

[@ManicMaynard]

Beebs, you're a legend, i didnt know you move the base computer, I thought that was fixed, and was not aware of the overall build limit. I really appreciate the work you put into making these videos and your contribution to the NMS community.

[@catherinehubbard1167]

Thank you for your generosity in making this, Beebs. You’re the best.

[@luciferdeville]

And I never knew you can select the different walltypes. Beeblebum saves so much time and frustration here, he deserves a nanite medal.

[@seriousleesgaming3042]

What a great idea to make this a series. By the time you get to the advanced stuff, you can cover any new things that come out with future updates!

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah, the plan is to start first with non glitch building guides. then gently move into the other advanced techniques.

[@mikesb113]

​@@Beeblebum i would like a guide on underwater building. I built a base underwater, starting with a underwater cylindrical room and it randomly makes water sound like im swimming. Also the landing pads were almost perfectly level with the water, but sold wouldn't work. Also the surface level prefab shows the floor in water and the ladder + Vertical tunnel is glitchy.

[@AnMTtr]

Great refresher, and just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Beeb's basebuilding videos. He has so many deep dives into important base building topics going back years.

[@jimcleary1161]

Fantastic video as usual!! Extremely helpful for new players and Im sure there is useful info for some veterans as well. "Who am I, am Beeblebum". For those that dont know he is a Legendary No Man's Sky builder, player and content creator!!! Hes also a great guy too.

[@Celis.C]

_"These are just the base-ics"_ Love that

[@SoundAuthor]

I’m really happy to see you making a new building series starting all over again with the basics. I was really lost when I started building. There’s so much I wish I had known when I started. This will give new builders a good place to start. 👍

[@MrBrue4]

I have over a 1000 hrs in and it’s great to pickup something I didn’t know or forgot, thank you.

[@Ennbeard]

I consider myself an "advanced" base builder, but even I needed the refresher on aiming my cursor at the center of where the item goes. Great video on the basics. Your existing videos are what helped teach me, so I look forward to the updated ones to keep my skills sharp.

[@bristuhan1966]

Good job, Beebs. This is a great starter guide for new builders. I have recently been re-watching your building playlist to refresh myself on glitch building. I"m looking forward to seeing how these guides change for Worlds.

[@Beeblebum]

Glitch Building seems to be (currently) very stable still. Except for perhaps the Cache Pin glitch, which has gotten some beatings by Sean.. lol

[@anrichvanzyl6406]

THANK YOU! I never realized I could toggle varieties! I have one mismatched wall in my base that has been driving me nuts!

[@zkmullins]

Thank you,can't wait to watch this! I know it's gonna be great.

[@Rubencio82]

This is excellent for new people! Base building is one of the most addictive mechanics of the game once you get the hang of it, great video!! PS: my god that ENTERPRISE!!

[@F_the_G]

This comes at a perfect time. I've already watched you when I played NMS a few years ago, now I'm back and just got ALL parts I need to build a base

[@OrangeJoe1999]

Great to see the video I stepped away from nms for couple years come back and your still here with the best video gotta relearn how to build and glitch build thank you beeble

[@SootyliciousArt]

Really helpful video, both for beginners and for those of us like me who hasn't done much building in a long time but wants to find a cool new planet after the World update and start building again, but had forgotten a lot of the basics :) Thank you, Beebs!

[@Beeblebum]

I hope this video lasts long enough... haha

[@restlesscow2137]

Im 2 days in back playing nms since lockdown times, this is such a great help, thanks for making it!

[@mleii1169]

Awesome, and thank you. Coming back to NMS after many years of not playing and found this guide and your other guides very helpful. :)

[@Beeblebum]

Hopefully more coming! 😊

[@Piquin001]

Excellent video. Wish I had found something like this when I started. I have enjoyed all your tutorials. This one is especially nice for newbies. I even got to see features that are unfortunately not on switch such as info screen. Thanks Beeble

[@CatrienW]

Awsome! I'll be sure to steer beginners to this video to get started. Thanks Beebs 🥰

[@timesalchemistgaming4437]

So nice to see this! Finally got some friends to get the game and sent them straight here. Even if I have almost 2k hours between all my saves I loved the video, every NMS player should now the mighty Beeblebum.

[@jenniferhamberg5754]

So excited to see this series. You never know what you may learn, even as an OG player! 😊

[@Beeblebum]

Next Episodes should probably be more interesting to learn some techniques instead of basic knowledge. 😊

[@NZ.Zer0]

awesome .. the whole thing from the #1 builder out there ... beginners will love this ...

[@er_burroughs]

Appreciate you taking care to put out something fresh for the new members of the community 🐝

[@Beeblebum]

Thanks ER! Fingers Crossed Sean is gently when he slides that new technique in... 😂

[@alliebrewer104]

Thank you for this comprehensive tutorial. It is extremely helpful!

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

Great first episode Beebs! Glad you decided to do this. Again… 😂

[@Beeblebum]

Let's see how long this one stays current... 😂 Thanks Bob.

[@RobertSpitzer]

This is such a useful video. Thank you!

[@boni58]

A very comprehensive guide, great work, thanks so much! Even being a long time NMS player I ve learned that we can choose the variety of the part and also pin parts 🙂 Just one remark: this is not a must, but before I start a new base I like to look first if there are good resources nearby, especially if I can get power supply.

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah, I did forget to mention power hotspots - I do have a good guide for it.. maybe I should just link it at the end of the video.

[@JackChappers]

A perfect starter tutorial? I think this is it!

[@full8497]

I haven't yet tried building aside from boxes and prefabs. I think I need to give it a go.

[@Lesak2]

Great one! Thanks Beeble!

[@sgtBelson]

Great job, Beebs.

[@TheKnorke09]

amaaazing video! can't wait to use all of that information. thanks a lot

[@heyheyrob1972]

Wow! So helpful and you are so good at making it easier to understand! Thanks for this wonderful beginner guide!,,🎉🎉

[@Beeblebum]

Thank you! glad it was!

[@AnnevaLily]

Wow what an incredibly clear tutorial, your presentation and teaching style is so clear. I've been playing 200 hours and didn't know I could expand the pieces to see variants, I had no idea what that symbol meant 😂 😂 I had to pause the video in shock and run to grab my steamdeck, going to be building for the rest of tonight!

[@Beeblebum]

Haha, Good luck with it - It was great when they added it!

[@Renfail]

Excellent! Perfect timing :)

[@Beeblebum]

Nice! Hope the video stays current for a while... 😅

[@SlashingLake]

Thanks Beeblebum very instructive!!!!

[@christophercousins184]

Excellent!

[@TbagsPS]

5.20 I use what I call a "safety cube", using the cube adornments at 10x10 and stacking them to 3 or 400 pieces, you get an early warning when you breach the upload limit. It would be great if HG just displayed the counter right from 0 though, super wierd that they don't. 😊

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah, I know - there are a lot of basic features that would make QoL so much better. And I don't understand why it has not been added or fixed.

[@Danielsworlds]

I would love to see some more information on freighter Base building. The techniques available there are slightly different unless you unlock planetary parts

[@Beeblebum]

Glitch Less Freighter building should be on the list of guides to make for sure. 👍

[@FireEyes9]

I love your vids !

[@Justin-pk8eq]

Keep them coming!

[@AlStaysHome]

I learned a lot. Thank you!

[@levirivers2772]

❤, this guy is pretty good 👍🏼

[@NMS_ShoganAye]

great video Beebs.

[@OliveGhostly]

When going into the ‘OPTIONS’ menu, ‘CATALOGUE & GUIDE’ then ‘BUILDING PARTS’. You will be able to see all the blueprints including ones you have not yet acquired. This shows the description, materials and even what’s needed to unlock the blueprint. :)

[@alyssafaden9443]

would love to see a more indepth discuss of snapping prefabs to other parts and visa versa

[@Beeblebum]

Yes! That one was already on my list of things to cover! 😊

[@alyssafaden9443]

@Beeblebum that would be great. I will admit to spending hrs getting no where and the thought of trying to intermingle prefab parts like the trusses with regular parts like floors makes the color run from my cheeks. Why they don't snap I don't know. Beyond building a door, then adding a prefab airlock to the door to create a snapping point for prefabs, my tool box: it is empty!

[@guyger]

Ive been playing a while but never built more than a few wood boxes for structures. I found an abandoned moon with low gravity and endless flat space. Im going to try for a futuristic old west desert town build and see how it goes.

[@_DepthS_]

Great video Beebs

[@Jefuslives]

I wish the swap part function would allow changing between that part's variations.

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah, that is actually a good call!

[@Mr_Perses]

Good, and informative 😊😊

[@gunnergoz]

Excellent! Got halfway through this and subscribed, I found your presentation that helpful! One question, which may be answered elsewhere - what do I do with the weeks and plants that show up through the floors of my prefab buildings, walkways, landing pads, etc? Anyway, thanks and Kudos to you!

[@Beeblebum]

The only way to avoid weed and plants growing back is by building higher and make a foundation, I touched on that topic in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWeXZYWmiMmLqK8

[@frownmastr]

I really wish they would bring back the legacy pieces. Do you know if there is any way to prevent stacked walls from changing their meshes?

[@Reed9277]

The parts that have the yellow “double tick” on the icon (it blends in a bit) have alternate variations, which places the variant itself without the pieces changing. I hope this helps!

[@Beeblebum]

I am unsure as why legacy parts were removed for new players... But, as explained at 9:16 you can choose which variations to build with, avoiding the contextual building.

[@fabd-tv]

Soooo good.

[@videobra5]

thank you....

[@adb888]

I honestly feel the first step should be to locate a power hotspot because I hate putting down the computer, and then realizing the nearest hotspot is a long ways off and I don't like daisy-chaining things.

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah, You are right - I actually tend to forget that as well every time - even mentioning it in this guide. 😂 But, its a good one to remind myself for the upcoming videos.

[@magicofeverything1985]

I want more❤❤❤❤

[@jupiterthree5228]

I kept wondering what that yellow symbol that looks like this II was.. now I know.

[@Abband0n]

I was wondering about moving the base computer because I have seen people have it in their buildings and I was like wtf. I hate that you skipped on how to pick a good site location though. Using a Survey scanner to find a spot that has Power, special dirt, AND gas. Or like how much solar power your average base might take. I guess all that stuff and more is covered in the advanced build guide? (If I do it, it must be basic lol)

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah, I could definitely have mentioned that. One of the next videos will cover finding locations for base building, so that would take some more time to talk about that. I did make a completely dedicated guide to hotspots, which covers most of this.

[@CalWilliams]

Love it

[@raphaelsilva502]

I already found the perfect place to build my ultimate base. Im only lacking the knowledge 😢

[@PicaSwag1963]

Wait how do i turn off the option that removes the land around placed base parts?

[@user-mi6ew2cr8y]

We're you able to figure out what's going on with the Autophage quest line not triggering?

[@Beeblebum]

Still playing the new save, busy with the Apollo/base missions for now.

[@shanky.y]

do you know if placing decals count as a part? or im free to pot them everywhere?

[@Beeblebum]

Yes, Decals, wires (of any kind) all count towards the partcounter.

[@shanky.y]

@@Beeblebum thank you 💝

[@jameslionbreath]

So is there a easier way to close the build menu? outside of opening the build menu list and then closing it there

[@Beeblebum]

There should be a back button that allows you to always leave the building menu?

[@jameslionbreath]

@@Beeblebum idk last time I tried to click the esc it didn't leave and the only way I found to leave the build menu was to open the z then esc

[@Beeblebum]

@@jameslionbreath I need to look into it then... Much of what I do is just motor memory.. I need to pay attention to it next time.

[@giantfactory]

00:08 Wow, who made that?

[@Beeblebum]

All bases showcased in this video are done by me (except the Featured Butterfly house by Pharaoh). Normally I do make videos of the bases I built. Here is the video link to the one you asked about: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z16uYWtqi6iAa9U Still old water and graphics though.

[@giantfactory]

@@BeeblebumIt’s fantastic. This updated water looks so much nicer.

[@youtubeaccount2429]

Is there any way to have a glass floor or a room with transparent walls, floor and ceiling?

[@Beeblebum]

There is the cuboid glass room... hehehe... If you want however to use the glass floors to make everything in glass, you will need glitch building.

[@rijkersmith3241]

Watch it all change in a month

[@Beeblebum]

Probably.. But I guess we could just wait forever... 😂

[@rahgnarhok5646]

Is it a max Radius of 1000 or Diameter of 1000?

[@Beeblebum]

Basic Radius of 300u, expandable to 1000u (and honestly beyond with some tricks.. lol)

[@Verschal]

Please tell me/us how to delete lights.

[@Beeblebum]

I am unsure what you mean with that? Deleting lights is just the same as deleting any other building part.

[@Verschal]

@@Beeblebum I looked again, it suffered from "small hitboxits" and that combined with my "cumtheFonites" was the issue. Thank you for making me look again.

[@shanky.y]

is it 16k limit per account or per game save?

[@Beeblebum]

Per game save.

[@shadow99917]

How tf did u build a boat?

[@Beeblebum]

This is done by Glitch building and A long time ago.. haha. It was after the release of Frontiers, and I did stream the explanation of it, because it was to complicated to make a guide. I am unsure if the same techniques are still available, and probably need to try it again.
