Square Base

Hi again sorry for the lack of content been a bit busy with college but should have more time this summer also I would like some suggestions of tips you guys would like to see/learn about. Finally I added in some non PS2 music at the end let me know if you guys like it and would like to see more or if I should just stick to PS2 music.
Also if anyone is interested you can join us on my construction discord: / discord
The music used today from outside of PS2 is "Everlasting" by Ephixa & Jim Yosef and was published by NCS. The piece can be found here: • Ephixa & Jim Yosef - E...

Dude I’ve been looking for videos like this for years. Just came back to Planetside a few days ago and I saw a base that looked just like this and thought “that’s cool af I want to make something like this but I’m a potato at building lemme search KZbin for help” and it’s been the same like 2-3 videos for ages, didn’t even see this when I searched, but somehow it showed up in my recommended and I’m so glad it did. I know there’s not a huge audience for content like this but damn do I appreciate it.

[@theDemolisher13]

Thank you I tried my best to provide a solid guide video for those getting into construction as there was no guide for me.

[@BatmatYT]

This is amazingly clean.

[@theDemolisher13]

Thank you I had a hard time learning this one so I figured I would do you all a solid and give you the instructions I follow when building one of these.

[@octofett]

I remember failing miserably to take a base like this with some friends a while back. Such a solid design. Damn you for teaching people😡

[@theDemolisher13]

Glad to hear it works so well for others. Honestly if it weren't for the construction update that made me lose the will to continue to play. I was planning on making a serious on how to take out bases with relative ease. I love destruction as much as construction, but before you can destroy one must first build :D Also thanks Atley would've love to hear you say that it was a good design.

[@Irgendjemandlol]

Amazing, you make me wanna start building again

[@Onus6688]

Nice one!! Letsgooooo builder mains ftw!

[@Komyets]

Okay this looks fairly solid and I want to try building one now XD By the way, the hints you gave for placing structures, like you showed the silo against the rampart wall beams, and the garage against the pillbox windows is incredibly useful, thank you so much for that!

[@theDemolisher13]

Thank you I'll keep uploading these as people seem to really like them.

[@Komyets]

@@theDemolisher13 The audience for these kind of videos is certainly small given the scarce ammount of Planetside 2 players, and even scarcer ammount of peopple who like to tinker in the construction system. So hey, I wont hold it against you if you stopped. But wow, the videos are trully appreciated for the guys like us in the exceptions list ^-^ Thank you!

[@theDemolisher13]

@@Komyets If I truly wanted to be popular I would do more Factorio Self Expanding Factory videos but my spark for that game kinda died out while PS2 has carried onward. Also I know there are like next to no one else doing construction videos currently so I got the stage all to myself here for the moment.

[@superbrain3848]

did you recommend a design as siege base? Oshur opened up the building gameplay a lot, and siege bases can help quite a bit with attacking other PMBs or just act as a safe retreat zone.

[@theDemolisher13]

I did recommend one in my discord though I still need to get around to making a video of it along with another base design called rat race.

[@AchingScaphoid]

I saw one of these in-game a couple of weeks ago and it was probably the niftiest player base I'd ever seen in person. It made me look back at the no-walls artillery outpost I'd made to destroy it and legitimately pause. I never got further than calling the Glaive IPC down on it. Leave the Flail for someone who can't appreciate good design.

[@theDemolisher13]

Thank you I try my best to find good designs though I have to say most of the credit goes to MissAtley. Though sadly I don't play the game anymore for mental health reasoning.

Do you think you could take a look at a Airfield style base for servicing landings for repairs and spawning of aircraft?

[@silverblank1139]

i encountered a similar one in an annex base, it held our zerg for a good 20 mins, tho it had the vehicle terminal outside and some extra solid walls diagonal to the corner where the rampart walls meet

[@KrimsonStorm]

Just used your design today on Hossin and helped save the Ziggurat! Great stuff, keep it up!

[@theDemolisher13]

Thank you. I always love to hear from you lot about your construction tales.

[@KrimsonStorm]

@@theDemolisher13 Yeah no problem! It was my first legit base since I came back to Planetside since 2018. Was awesome to see 3 beacons suddenly go down and a bunch of blue lightnings come streaming out of it haha!

[@jamesedwards3923]

After all this time the video is still useful. That means you did a good job.

[@theDemolisher13]

Well I'm glad you can still find value in it. I kinda figured the may update killed all of my previous work.

[@saifullahhabid1133]

I wish it wasn't so hard to get into building with how cert heavy it is

[@Komyets]

I agree with that, investing in your infantry and vehicle gear is more important, but there are a couple of structures you can invest in early on and still do well with them. You could always unlock just the Vehicle Terminal or Air Terminal for spawning vehilces and air if you like to rely on those for your gaming style. Just having a Silo, an Elysium tube and a Terminal can be enough. Letting the mini base rely on concealment rather than fortication. If it gets discovered and destroyed you can always make another one rather quickly because of how cheap it is. Once you are happy with your Vehicle and Infantry gear, you can start saving up for the rest of the structures and really start making some serious fortified emplacements, you just need to keep your priorities in check :P

this is awesome and all but is there any chance it could be expanded using the gates? i do see a few spots you could drop them but it doesn't seem like the best of ideas without all turrets unlocked

No design stands a chance when a squad of Prowlers drive up, unfortunately. Why do you put the shield canopy in the corner and not centered?

[@theDemolisher13]

If you put it in the corner then if you have a squad buddy they can put theirs up in the other corner. If you're playing solo you can put it in the center. I just find it that most people who build square base usually have 1 other partner with them.

[@xKarion]

Use a light assault ambusher jets to get around faster to deploy.

[@theDemolisher13]

true could do that though I'll be the first to admit the only gear my LA has is a drifter jet.

[@xKarion]

@@theDemolisher13 It's pretty efficient. Hopping back and forth to and from the terminal. Slowest part of rapid base deploying is scrolling through the terminal and finding cortium lol

[@theDemolisher13]

@@xKarion Oh tell me about it honestly when I do this quick builds it feels like 2x longer then it really is. Also I'd like to see them do something similar to construction as they did in Sony's 2012 Starhawk kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGLYo4lubdOpZ9E where you just pull stuff up via a radio wheel to plop down base items and then you could expanding upon it by walking up to the terminal and upgrading them to something else. Like a wall to a gate or something.

[@silverblank1139]

@@theDemolisher13 drifter jets are good too, you can climb on top of silo and place things like modules

[@TheHuffur]

Looks nice but I dont see how you would place down turrets in that base. Bases are already easy enough for a single person to destroy, not having turrets just seems like an invitation. If you used two vehicle gates in a V kind of shape instead of the garage building the base could probably almost double the interior size since you could shift one of the outer walls outwards a bit too. It would have a larger "door" for infantry to walk in but it would also be easy to fit the painfield tower there + AI turret could have a fairly unobstructed view of the area. It would not be a square anymore though so if that concept is more important than the actual function then nvm, it just pains me to see the base without turrets since I know it wouldnt take long for a ESF or something to just come flying past and sniping most/all of the modules or *insert one of the dozen ways a single player can wreck a base* completely unobstructed.

[@theDemolisher13]

I don't know what you're talking about but in all of my hours of playing the game I've only seen 2 players who can solo a base and both of them got aim bot like skills. (I verified that they were actually that good) Otherwise no these bases are pretty difficult to kill for a group of players let alone a single one. The over shield makes all of the structures invulnerable indefinitely so long as the builder pops them every 30 seconds. Next if the walls are done right there is only 1 entrance for regular players to get in with landmines that can be place to keep them out. Only light assault can scale the walls but they are far and few in between and never alone if there are some. Lastly we don't put turrets inside the base we put them outside in the form of turret fields as they die way to quickly to be considered as anything but throwaway spitties. My friend in my own opinion I think you grossly underestimate how effective a well built base can shake off assaulters.

[@TheHuffur]

@@theDemolisher13 Sure if you add on multiple groups of turrets off camera to cover most or all blind spots the base is much more secure than what is shown, same if you assume the base owner is going to sit in it 24/7 to defend it from potential attackers which would be kinda silly if the server you play on dont really have people that attack bases. Hard to say how much effort it would take to disable that base when one of the most important aspects of the defense is not shown, cant give any blind spots when I have no clue where or how many turrets you have access to since it seems like you assume there will be more than 1 group of turrets protecting this. As for soloing a base all you should really need to know is that almost all LMGs can kill the spawn tube without reloading and even Carbines only need to reload like 2-3 times, with or without repair module and painfield active in the area so the only thing someone needs to do to cripple most bases is grab a Valkyrie('free' from their own base perhaps?) then fly into the target base while ignoring the AA turret as they dont have great DPS so no need to panic. Then just locate the tube, land and go shoot at it for a few seconds. Most player made bases can be considered disabled after you get the tube since its rare for the owner to bother coming back again, they likely assume there is a Cortium bomb exploding within the next few seconds and usually that is pretty much exactly what happens. I usually just shoot stuff since all the core stuff like pain spire, spawn tube and modules are very vulnerable to small arms damage and once the modules are gone its easy to return with a Lightning or something to get the Silo if it has a lot of resources stored. One thing to keep in mind when building though if you want to stop infantry from entering is that the Pillbox has a built in gap that lets infantry walk in even if you place the outer walls perfectly against it, 6:30 shows it fairly well. Catlike implant infiltrators has to be somewhat common on most servers I think and they could get in there, might have to use a flash to jump on but they probably arrived on one anyway. Sometimes its even possible to edge jump against the outer wall and the Pillbox and get up without any help from a implant or something to jump up on.
