Once Human: BASE BUILDING TIPS & TRICKS!

[@MattyGorm]

UPDATE: At 2:56 for copying another player's base, it seems they need to grant you base permissions FIRST to copy it. So that is how you can "opt-out" of that feature. Have any other base building tips? Let me know in the comments! Enter the base contest in my Discord: discord.gg/GGN4tSa

[@TheNorthenerSwede]

I just tried to go to another players house and copy it like you said in the video, and it just said "Not enough permissions" and wouldn't let me do it. Tried several houses, doestn't work.

[@cellpowaa3]

@@TheNorthenerSwede same bro , my house is a mess and im too lazy to fix it

[@MattyGorm]

It does! The person needs to open build permissions for you. Just learned that, but it is possible!

[@BloodlineNODB]

@@TheNorthenerSwede they need to add you can give permission so its mostly for friends only

[@karanbahadursingh7415]

I build the default house now I want to change it but it doesn’t let me how do I fix it?

[@natadecoco8423]

Adding here, the reason you can add switch is, if you want to build your base with a lot of turrets, you need a lot of power for that. So, you can turn off all other electrical stuffs in your base and turn on the turrets when you are doing a purification.

[@GuessImNotClever]

I did not know about copying the base thing.... sheeeeesh, you could set up whole neighbourhoods... start charging rent.

[@ezhel7369]

lol good idea

[@zero604]

Doesn't work unless you're friends with the other player. You need permission to copy.

[@greentank1]

Fun fact on water pumps: they can't technically be built on a foundation, but they CAN be placed on a foundation if two legs are just slightly off the foundation. But then the game allows you to build another foundation next to the first one, making it look like the pump is actually built on the foundation. Looks pretty clean. Just remember that it's still technically built on the ground, and will get lost if you move your base without deleting it first.

[@williamcrowley5506]

Nice tip. Really need to delete it when it is going to have to be rebuilt any🤷‍♂️

[@skitch8616]

In regards to the 2 water pumps, the small water pump is used for getting water to flow up (vertically from a lower level of your base to a higher level of your base), it also has to be placed on a wall. Also if you have a high level Beaver Buddy sometimes instead of bringing you back logs they will bring you back furniture.

[@DequaLB]

A youtuber has yet to get furniture after hours and hours of putting him out. It was in beta, he doubts it’s in the game now.

[@skitch8616]

@@DequaLB I guess that's fair, except for the fact that I got 2 chairs and a bookshelf today from 2 different beaver buddies

[@bornlawls]

Bro i hope they do halloween and Christmas events for stuff for your base and skins. Game is so damn good. Really hoping it lives on for a long time.

[@eclecticgamer5144]

FYI: To save on resources, you only need a foundation every 6 tiles, the rest can be replaced with "ceiling" tiles, which are far cheaper to build.

[@MattyGorm]

Great tip!

[@adaroben1104]

I'd recommend foundations on the outside perimeter of a building and one row in the middle, cause high durability foundations wont break as easily from mobs

[@eclecticgamer5144]

​@@adaroben1104 Break as easily as what? Absolutely nothing? Build you base up, and there's nothing for them to attack. Build on the ground, and they won't be hitting the base units, just walls.

[@craota]

Repairing your base is super easy, no need to go around repairing anything. Just approach your territory's terminal and repair from there with just one click (so long you have the mats... also if you have the paper figure it will automatically repair stuff for you

[@Rayzlight]

NAHH I DIDNT KNOW THIS. I SHOULD'VE KNOW THIS SINCE I PLAYED LIFE AFTER AND THE DEVELOPER IS THE SAME ONE 😭😭😭 I WASTED A LOT OF TIME

I was today years old when I found out a simple concept was so beautifully illustrated in regards to the rain collection system.

[@FrostedFlakez]

You can “Repair All” at your base terminal

[@izzanirfan2534]

[@royalwitch3561]

A tip for repairing the bases: do it at your terminal vs one by one. You can fully repair your base in one step that way.

[@creangarupta123]

personally, i was very unsure about moving the territory terminal but you clarified it so thank you bro really useful video thanks!

[@RobKlipz]

Im sure they did the Blueprint mechanic so you can save your base when theres a wipe. Anyway nice video Matty

[@Fernandes36]

10:15 - So for the Flight mode keybind, in case you're having trouble, I have an EU Qwerty keyboard and for me it's the "ç" which is directly to the right of "L" in my case. On some keyboards it might not be that key but it should still be the key that is located directly to the right of "L". In case it's neither of these I saw some people saying on my EU server's ingame chat that "@" key worked for them.

[@Fernandes36]

Also, devs did say they're working on keybind mapping a bit better so, if nothing works at least there's that

[@JimpahGG]

if you press ALT+Shift at the same time you can change keyboard language and then just press the § button!

[@thaiming7486]

If someone german (or people whose keyboards are similar in that way) its not the "~" and not the "^" buttons, but the "ö" button. For whatever reasons. 36 hours of cramps have been gone after knowing that, enjoy building now, Metas! :)

[@liquidacid1983]

The only thing that sucks about saving base BPs is it saves all the benches and stuff too. We already know you can carry over base BPs to another server after the resets but that's going to be tough since you won't be able to build the advanced stations. I wish there was a way to just save the structure itself. For now I guess last day of the server I'm going to break down everything but the building and save it so I can build it again from the very start.

[@MattyGorm]

Agreed, it would be nice to just save the structures!

[@emmaburlakova5895]

From house blueprint you can just build your house and leave another part for time when you will open it. Projection of bluepring will visible only in build mode so no one not bother you just build your house only in first time.

[@FirstPolor]

I am still learning the blueprint part. But it might be ideal to save blueprints as you progress from smaller base to bigger, so that when you start you have a basic setup to use. Then add on sections as you go

[@fabianlindstrom9519]

Great video bro, this one is literally one of the best guides to all things I find a little blurry in the game, I’m like 40hrs in, soon level 30 but with a lot of xp farming and going into highlands as a level 12 so I really don’t got a lot of the “game” I went ahead a little to fast

[@P1DZz]

Actually good mechanics tbh. I build up on survival games, try to move and get over it from grinding my brain out. Moving your base is dope and saving the frame is cool af

[@BaldunDE]

regarding Flightmode ..in German it says ~ too (and you cant even bind it with another key) if you are in building mode .....but its the Ö key we have

[@djnorth2020]

Same in Scandinavia, it's ö key a bit left from the enter key. Also found that sadly you can't rebind anything to tilde, left of 1 near Esc key. Really wanted to have it for auto run.

[@bxtThy]

one important pont is missing. You can profit from the Mematic specialisation of your friends. Example: If your friend has the improved bio powerplant, you can have him build it in your base and provit from the extra 5W. This works for all specialisations that improve an appliance and/or allow access to special blueprints You can also trade your solar drill or things like that with you friends.

[@FirstPolor]

This is something a friend and i are trying to figure out. Is there anything on a base that requires you to have your own base vs sharing a base. We are moving our bases together and its a huge pain to get them to line up again when we move. We keep getting as close as we can, and building again to have a cross over area. But if we can just use one base, that would be so much easier.

[@asmosisyup2557]

03:00 that is *really* cool. I never would have thought to try that

[@CoffeeTheFreshmaker]

The problem with all the switches and stuff to direct electric cords, is that they count as facilities. So just beware that, if you wonder what your 250/250 comes from.

[@jasontopping5101]

Flight mode is @ in the UK

[@Valgard09]

dude... you can put pressure switches infront of your stove so it shuts off when you walk off the plate. brilliant!!

[@djnorth2020]

Dude... That just blew my mind. I've been using switches to turn off crafting and another to turn off turrets to save energy. Save the planet 😅

[@MattyGorm]

Just be aware that food will not cook if the stove isn't powered, so if you walk off the pressure switch while food is cooking, the food will stop being made

[@lenauraa]

You can move your base around by pressing Z at the new location, you can do this every 10 minutes. great if you are going to be in a new area for awhile.

[@Drabo7]

Hide Wires? Bro thats the solution to all my problems

[@alasarcher400]

Reason you want to put Water Pump up in the air is so pipes can flow downwards into water tank/purifier.

[@Rinsavio]

Just as a heads up last I checked(couple days ago) I wanted to save my neighbors house but through testing with friends you NEED building permission as well to save the blueprint.

[@SolisGaming]

Hey guys i just started making content fo rthis game myself, smaller army veteran owned channel. So far I am really likeing this game, it has a lot of elements from other genres rolled into one. Anyway we cover other games too, but will be doing weekly content around my game play as base building . Great informitive Video here, really enjoyed this video! I have a bit of a tip myself, I have found if you follow Deer around before you kill them for a bit, they will lead you edible plants and plants you can use in cooking and other recipites.

[@makosn]

Default key mapping is tilde in the game options, but what it doesn't state is that is only applicable to American key format. For UK this is actually the apostrophe/@ key - hopefully this is of help.

[@porkthepink]

Gravity matters that is why we raise them as high as possible

[@ragingcalmness7815]

When you move your base, it destroys all water pumps and stardust water pumps. Furthermore, you lose all materials used to craft them and need to go farm them again. Happened to me once and I doubt they have fixed it yet because another friend of mine also lost the pumps I built for him. No the materials don't go in the vault like silly people like to talk about things they don't know, we all checked everywhere to find the materials because a stardust waterpump is really not cheap for a beginner. The things just get deleted from existence. Hope this will spare some people from making a move before taking down the water pumps to rebuild them later.

[@sarpant]

you can use the wall circuit things to manage wires

[@DozolEntertainment]

Not sure how much this idea is usefull, but i found that adding a very tall tower to jump from and glide, helps me a lot to get to places or simply avoid some travel time by going over cliffs and mountains. Recently used thi to reach a Mystical crate on top of a building by simply relocating my base.

Do you have a video on how to quickly install solar panels so that there is electricity in the house? I can't find all the necessary components for them

[@bbodrogicsaba]

Amazing video @MattyGorm ! Question here: In your opinion, would this work? 1. I build my base that I use with benches, living quarters, crafting and storage area, so a main base. 2. Then I save it as a blueprint, let's call it MAIN. 3. Destroy it, build planting boxes on the whole surface with lights, watering system etc, so a complete FARM farm. 4. Save the farm as a blueprint, let's call it FARM. 5. can I switch between the two freely? Like when I play with my friends, or solo I use MAIN, but before I go to sleep or work I use FARM to grow plants, purify acid and all that. So is it possible to switch back and forth between base blueprints? And if it does indeed work like this would I need the materials every single rebuild or I can just rebuild whenever I want to? -bbodrogicsaba, EU-PVP01-0002

[@MrBellasaurus]

[@MagiRaz]

You cant actually copy someone elses base. When you try it says 'Insufficient permission' when you attempt to save it. This guy didn't actually test the things he's telling people.

[@TheBrokensaintvxvx]

Thanks for this, unfortunately, it doesn't help the issue I'm having. When I logged back in this morning, my base was split between where is once was, and where I moved it to. What's more, if I try to move it, the hologram image is rotated on its axis by 90 degrees cutting off about 30% of my entire base.

[@henrymonroy9533]

How much priority would you give to making a functional sized base asap? I mean this as opposed to "piece mealing" it over time

[@jkheart]

Applying a skin to a wooden base doesn't change the underlying material's properties when it is attacked, correct? For example, if you have wooden walls as your base and it gets attacked, the skin you apply won't affect how easily enemies can break through. Or am i wrong ...

[@MattyGorm]

Correct! The underlying material determines the durability!

How do you make a second base? Or did you mean a second structure within the same territory? Can I make a small defensive structure just for resonator and the enemies will only attack that part and leave my main structure alone? I just found out about the resonator and I'm about to rebuild my whole base because I built for style and not defense 😅But if a small structure away from the main structure is sufficient for resonator defense, then that would be quite helpful.

Yeah basically setting up 2 bases within the same territory. Although the enemies for the resonator event seem buggy so your success may vary with that!
