No Man's Sky Has The Best Base Building System I've Ever Seen

No Man's Sky in 2024 has the best base building system Renfail has ever seen, as he plays the game for the first time after the Worlds Update Part 1 dropped. Let's Play No Man's Sky with Renfail as he explores base building and talks about why he loves it in this game more than any other he's tried.

[@Beeblebum]

Hey, thanks for the shoutout, appreciate that a lot. Base building has been one of the major foundations of what I have been doing on YT. And even while I took a step back from it for some time, the itch to get back into it has been strong since the Worlds Update. 😄 Just a quick note: what I specialized in was Glitch-building, which can be frustrating for some players, but it does open up the building world even more.

[@bionicheart70]

Beebs bases and tutorials are awesome.

[@Renfail]

Very cool, and happy to shout out :)

[@theshrimp9041]

Hi Beeblebum !

[@sdube001]

Beeblebum, your builds are amazing! I've been watching for quite awhile. I'm one of the ones who gets frustrated, but it's not your builds and tutorials. Some moves are just getting difficult due to arthritis slowing my hands down.

[@RedblackGreenwhite-i6e]

Beeblebum is hands down the best Glitch builder Ive ever seen on NMS....To guys like Beeblebum and Floughry Squirrel...ibwas able to.learn the fundamentals of Gllitch building...Thank You Beebs.👊😎

Beeblebum is a base building legend around here 😂

Loving the channel so far for sure!

[@Lordoftheapes79]

@@Renfail one day, he really earned my respect when I caught him going thru some old videos and labelling them as outdated. Outdated videos can be a major problem for new players in NMS because so much changes over time, very few content creators take the time to do this.

Man it gives me joy to see how much No man’s sky is propping up your channel, you deserve it mate

[@julilla1]

Beeblebum makes some great tutorial videos for base building. ScottishRod also does some really cool ones. One of the things I really love about this game is how you can take your interest and just do that thing. Ricey's Starship Emporium channel does ship hunting, just going to different systems and finding cool ships. My main focus is exploration, so right now I'm going to different galaxies and trying to put down a base in every galaxy.

[@Renfail]

Awesome resources, thanks :)

[@matthewcopley7679]

I like garage door...... I use them for walls on paradise planets and hazardous planets, i like being able to open and close them, having them all on one circuit is really awesome seeing a base open up with nice weather and close up when it is not...... But what i really like is collapsible bridges and roadways using the garage door next to each other...

[@Renfail]

Cool idea

[@jacobmcbride9426]

There are so many building parts and decors to unlock, you have to do derelict freighter missions, take part in expeditions etc

[@Renfail]

Fun rides ahead

[@bionicheart70]

I’ve been lucky and humbled of having three of my base builds featured as a community highlight bases in the Space Anomaly over the years. Base building has kept my interest in this game having been playing it soon after launch. There are so many creative and talented builders in the NMS community. Recently subbed to your channel. Love your content. Cheers.

[@Renfail]

Nicely done :)

I love this game. Have SOOOO many hours in it, much spent just wandering around. But the base building stuff is so fun...amazing what you can create on planets and on your freighter. People are so clever and creative! Really worth doing the Expeditions when they are happening to get special stuff to decorate your bases with.

[@Renfail]

very cool!

[@classreductionist]

After 8 years I believe only 11% of the potential systems have been explored.

[@Renfail]

very groovy

[@chriswinslow6389]

Nope. 18 Quintilian planets across 256 galaxies. If every human on earth discovered one planet every second, our own sun would burn out and die before we discovered 10% of the planets. It is functionally infinite. We are much closer to 0% than 1% at the moment.

[@tonyounsworth7904]

The algorithm brought me here looking for reactions to the update and I’m so glad it did. Super enjoyable content and thoughtful and intelligent with it. I’ve loved NMS since launch (tbh I was a bit of an apologist for the initial release) but had a big break. Coming back to it now on Switch to see what they’ve added and it’s truly incredible. Just to second a recommendation I saw in the comments on this video - Subnautica. From what you say about liking story and base building, I’d be quite confident that you’d love it.

[@Renfail]

I've seen it :)

[@rosesanders9191]

Also, really worth checking out Action Pants Gaming’s builds - they are jaw droppingly good!

[@Renfail]

cool!

[@jayraffique]

Some of these bases is in other galaxies so if you want to go to another galaxy that's a good way to get to one

[@Renfail]

I hadn't even thought of that!

[@sdube001]

That's an easy way to get to new galaxies without going through the core of a galaxy to get to the next. Going to the core can definitely cause damage. Though I do recommend it even with the damage. The further you get from the starter galaxy, Euclid, the more often you are the first anywhere you go.

[@zwenkwiel816]

​@@sdube001there's still a ton of undiscovered systems in euclid though. Like I just checked and had to go down like 15 systems before I got one I didn't discover.

[@ArnoldJudasRimmer..]

I feel as awesome as you man when playing No Mans Sky. I bought it last month. After MANY hours building bases in Fallout 4 over the years. And I agree....this is something else. There is nothing like chilling in your moon base, that is surrounded by weird alien metalic balls everywhere. With your pirate dreadnought complete with fleet hovering overhead as there is no atmosphere lol

[@Renfail]

good times :)

[@ArnoldJudasRimmer..]

@@Renfail It has made me long to play it tbh. The base building when combined with actually finding a planet/moon/system to build it in is just so chilled. I love this game. I am only a month in and the potential to dip in and out of this galaxy is awesome. Finished my first expedition. Liquidators last week and that was a blast also. Cant wait for the next one 👌. Love your content man. Pleasure seeing someone as happy as me to play.

[@ziploc2000]

I like the fact that we can have a really bare-bones base when necessary. Base computer to claim the site, teleporter & a bio-furnace to charge it up and you're good, you can come back later and add if required. I usually use a solar panel and battery for the teleporter so it runs 24/7, but you can teleport to an inactive one and just charge it enough to get away again.

[@Renfail]

Ayep!

[@Marquee_Gaming88]

Not only in land or sea you can also build low orbit bases

[@Renfail]

whaaat!? Sweet!

[@GribbleGrunger]

Use photomode to show off bases and other things. And use the quick menu to immediately return to the anomaly.

[@Renfail]

I haven't tried it out yet :)

[@badsabre5917]

Grounded is another survival builder that you can build insane structures.

[@Renfail]

Yep, I've played it with my brother + sister in law

[@maggetboy]

awesome video and well explained man, not sure if you have played it or not but subnautica also has some pretty neat base building you would 100% like that game if you like no man’s sky

[@Renfail]

Groovy

[@thundaGawd]

Try to build your bases somewhat elevated as sometimes the terrain and flora can regrow. Especially with big resets during updates where they change the terrain generation for example. One wall height off the ground usually does the trick for me. There are rare flat areas you can find, actually I think very rare now, as this was how the game started you out in a base. Now most of the terrain is sloping and will most likely contain things that will clip through the floor of your base if you build on or too close to the ground.

[@badsabre5917]

You can also build sky bases in low orbit.

[@Renfail]

awesome!

[@Lordoftheapes79]

They just fixed a major problem with aquatic bases in the last update. There aren't a lot right now, but you can expect some incredible ones moving forward.

[@Renfail]

That sounds amazing.

[@illogic0017]

One thing I wish NMS did better was update the community builds. There are great builds out there that serve to inspire. With that said, I too would like to shout out Beeblebum and other great youtube basebuilders. Special shout out to Boid Gaming who runs videos specifically to show people neat little creative tricks to make decorations but also highlights community builds that are sent to him. Like you, he also replies to every comment and recently encouraged me to start learning wire glitching after 5000 hours of play lol and boy he was right.

[@er_burroughs]

Beeblebum is the GOAT.

[@Renfail]

Woot

[@ProgrammistMusic]

until recentyl i was more the Space Invaders / Quake type of guy, but NMS really inspired me to build bases for many reasons. Apart from the endless possibilities you have in this game, the simple fact, that you can build bases together with your friends and create some sort of "Civilisation" on one planet with anyone else playing this game is just wild. However, i am not an expert and i cannot glitch-build on PC, since i only play VR. Beeblebum is definitely head of the base building masterclass. I joined the Brolo Republic and start building a base on one of the planets, which was partly underwater with areas spread across more than 1500u.Since the planet was abandoned due to biom changes with the latest update, i will most likely delete it and start all over again on one of the new planets. But it did a little tour while doing my latest VR benchmarks. Here's what me being a Noob in base building has done so far: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5WmYpWlfJaVaNk

[@Renfail]

everyone's a noob at some point :)

[@zwenkwiel816]

To me valheim is still goat when it comes to basebuilding in survival games but this is pretty good too. Like from a creative/aesthetic standpoint i like building in valheim more but bases do seem a lot more functional in no mans sky.

[@glens1975]

love the game and am totally addicted to it and what I really like is that there are so many different ways to play the game but it is no where near the best base building game out there, Fall Out and ESO building craps all over it but the game play is amazing!!!! Base building is also very easy for all of the newbys out there.

[@GeneElder.R27]

I bought and immediately refunded it.. because I knew from the first hour that I would lose hundreds of hours in the game, especially base building and ship building, so I removed the tempation from my hard-drive entirely. I am also hoping that Dune Awakening has extremely robust base building to match or surpass Conan, because I know I will be balls deep in that game for the long haul. Another reason to avoid the hundreds of hours NMS would have robbed me of. Im just in a holding pattern until Dune Awakening gives me a landing site.

[@Renfail]

have fun :)
