Beebs this is why you are the Greatest builder this game has ever seen!!! I have 7000+ hours in NMS and never even thought about this stuff. Thanks!!

Just when you think you’ve figured it all out, along you come with a new tutorial and a heap of techniques I’d never even considered before. Thanks man.

[@noelmollon2389]

You truly are the base building guru! I just sat watching this with my jaw hanging open. The storage ring absolutly blew my mind! Pure genius!! Thank you so much!

[@Beeblebum]

Haha, I am sure you can think of many great solutions now! 😊

[@martinlefebvre792]

"Panache" was exactly right Beebs!! 🤘

[@martinlefebvre792]

Fantastic video yet again! Cheers!

[@alice.2562]

Thanks for the tips with the storage containers especially,as I have a habit of hiding them away from my main building of under it because they're so bulky 😅

[@Psyrens]

A very smart player known as Daviller brought me here from the reddit, said this is the channel to watch for learning advanced farming and building I have rewatched the first 3 minutes 3 times. I already understand what he meant

[@AbsoluteKarat]

I was struggling so much with snapping today. Thank you for this!

[@lordrodney-oldschoolgamer9106]

Even as an old-timer, I always learn some new trick from you!

[@Beeblebum]

Who said we can not teach an old bear new tricks? 😄 After 8 years in this game, I still am astonished by builders their creativity and problem solving - So we are in the same boat! haha

[@DavidWinstead]

I'm addicted to base building in NMS, for real! Thanks for showing your great hacks, they will all be very useful on my next creation!! New sub earned.

[@Beeblebum]

Thanks for the Sub! 😊

[@Jefuslives]

That container merging technique is great! Thanks, Beebs

[@markbooth3066]

Thanks for explaining these non glitch build techniques, in particular explaining *why* I have to use two short walls for my arch balconies rather than just one. I really like the dodecagon cluster of storage rooms. I often build bases around a large central dodecagon room, so this would fit perfectly below that. I used to build my storage container rooms underground, to reduce their visual impact on the base, but I got fed up of having to dig out my access corridors, so now I build them under my landing pad. I've mostly used a 5 cuboid room long corridor with two clusters of 5 storage containers on each end, but I've always disliked the rotational asymmetry of it, compared to the landing pad itself, so this would probably work really well.

[@Beeblebum]

Glad to help out, as always! I am happy to hear you found the extra information helpful about snapping points occupying the same spot.

[@pbnbro]

This is virtuous, humble, No Man’s Sky creativity at its finest. I’ve had builders block since I’ve come back to this game. Was looking for exactly this. Had to scroll through so many adjacent/wire glitch videos to get here. This will change my NMS life. Following! 👍 Thanks traveler!

[@Beeblebum]

Great to hear that! I have been trying to make a few Basic (non-glitch) guides in the previous months, so hopefully they all help you out a little. I think the "Light your Base" Tutorial might also be something you like. 😊

[@grimlyfuttocks794]

I’ve been playing NMS for so many years, but I always learn something new from your videos! Excellent work my friend!

[@marc.ristau]

Dude, I played this game for almost 200 hours without looking anything up and now I think I’ve played a different game than you. Feel like I’m gonna disassembling my entire base soon and build again. Top tier tutorial. Easy to follow, little filler, lots of great information! Bravo

[@DrNostaw]

18:59 Thank you very much for the new building methods! I am currently building Castel del Monte and I need window arches protruding from the walls. Your method of building two walls next to each other really helped me right now!

[@aaronstrager4247]

I needed this video, I was just building a base and gave up because I couldn’t align things properly

[@MichaelDeHaven]

Me too. I just found this great giant cave right next to an A class power source but just don't have the creativity of people like him. Best of luck with your base.

[@Beeblebum]

Happy to hear this - while the examples are just a few, I do hope they help you to continue experimenting with it. 😊

[@zelarian]

These videos are a must watch for any aspiring builder in NMS. I'm still getting the hang of it. I came from Satisfactory with hundreds of hours in base building and am shocked at how good I had it compared to the NMS building mechanics 😬

[@funkygalaxy628]

This is so cool. I just do a 4 by 4 and go on with my day, but all these tutorials have opened a whole world of possibilities ❤ keep up the awesome content

[@moshtran]

This guy is so organized that even the videos are organized by complexity steps, awesome!

[@bluewrites2278]

This is exactly the kind of building video I wanted to see. I find glitch building beyond adjacency and colour glitching far too frustrating to get a handle on. This is exactly the kind of building that I do. Using legitimate systems existing in the game and seeing what is possible. I would live to see an expanded video of this type of building at some point.

[@Beeblebum]

Thanks, I am writing suggestions down or ideas I get to share on my notes.. then I look into making some extra videos that share more applications to these techniques. 😊

[@daviller74]

Hell yeah, great tips Beebs! They’re especially well timed after the last update changed up some of my planets. Most are frustrated with this, but I look at it as an opportunity to take what I’ve learned and build new bases and explore more again. And with all the new improvements in lighting and clouds, exploring is a real treat again. NMS is pretty much the only game I play, and I never walk away from it frustrated, only relaxed, and the sense that I’ve had a good day.

[@Charlistic_Viewing]

What an amazing video! Hope you do more videos of this type or maybe talkovers with you building in the background? I didnt know any of those things and now my head is full of ideas! 😊

[@Beeblebum]

I have been writing down some ideas I can cover in the next parts. I used to do quite a lot of building streams in the past... I might do more in the future.

[@Charlistic_Viewing]

@@Beeblebum as someone who never watched streams, i would love videos with the streams speed up/cut up with new voiceover explaining and maybe mentioning if something funny happened in stream :) just an idea since I know my adhd never watched streams but I would love a shorter more informative version of them 😂

[@ironmoondarkwing4190]

These videos are so helpful! I have zero imagination when it comes to base building but somehow you always manage to give me new ideas anyway! Now, if only I could figure out how to put railings on a staircase without using free placement… 😭

[@Beeblebum]

There is actually a pretty easy technique - while we call it the tether glitch, its hardly a glitch, more of a hidden mechanic. I should look into making a guide for it - But currently focused on pure snapping techniques. But, if you check the stream I did last week, you can see me showing it - I timecoded the link: kzbin.infoU0kXwBnft28?si=CdNKm4Mg4SlkUvEW&t=13324

Dude, you're videos are always amazing! Definitely going to use some of these.. especially the storage containers!!

[@burtmccormick4727]

Amazing content clearly presented! I had no idea you could accomplish so much without glitch building. I will clearly have to spend more time messing about to discover all the possible permutations available using standard building techniques like you have.🤣 I would be curious to know if you’ve found an elegant way of closing the narrow triangular gaps created then placing outwardly sloping components on corners where 2 triangular floors (or walls built on them) meet? Keep up the inspirational work!

[@Beeblebum]

Thank you! I am not sure what issue you are talking about with the building parts... If you wish, you can join our discord and drop some screenshots to make it clearer. 😄

[@SoundAuthor]

I've been glitch building for the last few years and there was some practical stuff in this video that I never even thought of! Awesome video!

[@Beeblebum]

Yep! Sometimes as a GlitchBuilder we tend to look for solutions in the complex methods, and sometimes the simple ones are just there for the taking. 🤣

[@Akumeitakai]

Well! That completely blew my skull wide open! Holy crap! I had no idea any of this could be done! I thought it all just sat there interfering with itself to no logical end. Incredible!

Great tips for using snap points to your advantage Beebs

[@IndecisiveQuilter]

Awesome vid. I've been playing for years and storage containers are one of my annoyances. I love this idea and will try it out. Now that they hold way more it's easier to plonk just one down at a base until I have a freighter. I can't believe that at the time of this commet there's only one other comment about the worm. I know you worked hard for this video, and it was really informative, but your reaction to the worm was, by far, my favourite part! I react the same way 😂 Now, a whole video like the worm reaction or bloopers and I'm there!

[@Beeblebum]

Haha... Maybe one day.. 😂 Glad you enjoyed the complete video - I had someone else let me know they loved the worm bit (on twitter). haha

[@sonalita_]

Worth a sub just for the storage containers - just a fantastic design! I built mine slightly differently, inside the circle but facing into the centre of the circle - so I can stand on the central hexagon and access all the containers individually without moving. I like to store specific things in specific containers.

Oh I will use these.....I have played this game a lot but couldn't settle on which planet to build on. Ye that changed with the Ice planet I found recently called Hoth.....Just kidding. Though it is Hoth now. It's name Was pretty close. "Hohiv IV" Best part is that there is a Black hole up in the sky and I can see it from the base. It's small and isn't all that close, but I am now on a mission to find a planet that is close to a Black hole.

[@OliveGhostly]

That’s actually such a cool idea to have a black hole above your base. Realistically terrifying but very cool none the less!

Hi Beebs As Always I Just Appreciate You And Your Videos As I've Learned So Much About This Game From You. So Grateful I've been watching you since last year. When my son started playing this game. I started playing at the end of january. It had been over thirty plus years since I played a video game like this. I love Astronomy space, the planet's de moon, the vastness of the sky and the stars in the galaxys. And I love this game. Thank you for such great videos. All the time. Always appreciate your videos much love and respect to you My friend. Always love to catch you when you're live, too. 🌌🌠🪐🌙🌌🚀🛸

Glad you have found them bot enjoyable and helpful! NMS is definitely a game with many possible ways to enjoy Space! 😄

[@RealUnimportant]

Loving that idea for the storage containers; too often I just put one shrunk container in and then sort everything out when I get to my freighter, but now I have ideas for building a whole storage room in my current "master" base! I'm not doing myself any favours, I've built a frame I like and need to fill it so I'm also learning just how twitchy some snap points are; was educational learning how they get limited, and it's helped me understand why what I'm doing seems to work sometimes but not others even when it looked like it should... Plenty to think about!

[@tonyb2109]

Just INCREDIBLE!! Thank you for doing these videos!

[@WarGiver]

I can honestly say this video inspired me to build another base somewhere. So let me share a use for universal adjacency glitch trick I use: I use light boxes to help align the standing lockers you get from freighters to easily align them and make it look nice.

[@Beeblebum]

Yes, the Lightboxes are a great way to get perfect alignments, I used it for lockers, crates, container... I will get to some glitch guides in the future, once I am satisfied with the series of non glitch techniques. 😊

But these tips will come in so handy when I'm done with the big ship and wanna make landfall again.

[@Beeblebum]

Oh cool, thanks for the sub and enjoy the building adventure - One suggestion about glitch building - If it gets too hard, take a break, It can be really frustrating at first, but once the methods click, you open a whole new world!

[@isty4491]

_"circle is a big word"_ just made me laugh, idk why 🤣and yes i do know what you meant It _almost_ goes without saying i love all your guides, even when i know the stuff (or think i do), but there now its said ❤ I wonder Beebs, have you thought of bringing to the masses, the work already done by Pharaoh on measurements and increments? Of course i know you wouldnt normally repeat someone else's work - and definitely not without credit - but some of his stuff is a little math-dense and with all the respect and love in the world to him for showing the world this stuff, you have a way of making these things seem/sound simpler to newer players and to imbeciles like myself Also im not entirely sure Pharaoh "finished" his guides, or maybe he assumed he gave us the basics and we could work the rest out ourselves, but i do still find myself struggling a little sometimes, even after re-watching his videos several times Again i feel i should say im very grateful to him, but you do have a wider audience, and a way of making things more easily understood I do, of course realise there are several reasons you might not want to do this Someone else's work, the time it would take you, and maybe even you dont feel it needs repeating But i would like to see it done at some point by someone And it seems like you almost touched upon some of it here No pressure at all, always do what makes YOU happy (that applies to everyone - except maybe serial criminals) and Pharaoh, if youre reading this, i hope you understand i meant no offence at all to you, i love your work ❤ Who knows maybe a collaboration is the answer Anyway ive babbled on enough, maybe too much, i kinda always wanted to see this, and now ive said it i can relax about it, and let you both decide whether to act or ignore upon my suggestion

[@Beeblebum]

Pharaoh has been amazing in figuring these things out, and did a lot research to many cool methods. Many of the techniques do involve glitch building, which is currently not my focus - As I want to make Basic Building guides first for a while. But thank you for your Love and watching as always!

[@Bladecutter]

I really appreciate the reboot of your building series. It's great to have an _up to date_ guild with few legacy pieces. A challenge I have on the PS5 is when in camera mode pressing move piece initially moves it to a random position. Move your camera and the piece moves too. I also find it difficult to simply move a piece straight forward or backwards. Might you be able to create a tutorial on how to best use your controller to avoid problems like these?

[@Beeblebum]

Controllers are definitely difficult to keep straight lines, due to the stick drifting sideways. I hope the New "Leaked" Build Camera might improve this issue.

[@Bladecutter]

@@Beeblebum I'll be pleased with anything that improves controller editing, or editing in general. Do you know when the "leak" will be in general release?
