I would love to have these slider changes. I struggle with them too. At least there are fewer tabs to navigate now.

Never mind

Base services seems to be organized by function Training Costume Vending Storage Crafting Miscellaneous Power Medical Within each function items typically appear in Arcane/Tech/Villain. They used to be in separate tabs!

I’m with you on the consolidation of screen objects, and the logic of some groupings like nature and landscape.

There’s a Rikti Space Station? !!!

Thanks for all the work and care that went into the contest. It prompted me to prepare a base for a specific purpose and to share it for feedback. It was great to know that the work and the ideas were seen. The feedback was really helpful in identifying easy things to improve my ideas and execution. It was also nice to know what struck other people as successful.

The creativity and effort in the bases submitted was absolutely amazing. It’s a real joy to see the visions and implementations people come up with. You can share your appreciation by leaving comments in the Base Directory Guestbook.

Your character name: (Red Star Holder) Ronin Raider Your Global handle: @Matsiyan Are you the owner? No Are you the builder? Yes (Matsiyan-Qal) Your base’s name: Ronin's Raiders The shard it is located on: Excelsior The passcode for entry: RAIDERS-30984 The category your base is entering under: Novice Contributing builders’ names or Global handles: Just me based off an idea by the base owner, @Finkill ('an epic interdimensional pocket') and a suggestion from @Dacy ('floating giant statue'). They both agreed it was OK to enter the base. Any additional information you wish the judges to know beforehand: An interdimensional pocket space was created by the outpourings of energy from the Well of the Furies. It expanded in nothingness until the the psychic impressions carried through the ongoing link crystallized into key concepts. The monumental interlinked nature of the universe is expressed in frozen representations of some of the major forces, The Ronin Raider discovered this through a portal mishap and began using it as a rest and regrouping area for his team's forays. A secret shared, as they say, led to a tech conglomerate starting to explore the space. A colleague of Argot'BurWot heard of this and sent a Rikti scientific vessel to investigate. They quickly called in Vanguard, who now maintain a rapid reaction portal with logistics and training consultants on hand. In exchange the consortium agreed to develop the site sensitively without defacing the existing archeological remains. Wary of the advanced Forerunner technology, the consortium have added their own functional facilities. Come and see the primordial remains and try not to notice the expanding technology base 'sensitively' built around them.

I understand the primary purpose of the wiki and that it makes sense normally for it to be the "system of record". The issue for the Base Building community is that there is a lot of utility in the functionality of the spreadsheet. It is also easier to edit and manipulate. The issue of update validation is handled by having the updates submitted via a form and the master updated by the custodial team. The spreadsheet also has full versioning. The curated spreadsheet is simply a more convenient format for managing. I agree with Thunder Force that the best resolution might be to simply mention on the wiki that user content exists and can be found elsewhere. Links to the FBSA wiki and/or the curated community sheet or the community Discord server could be cited for searchers, but I understand why references to off-site sources is not good practice where a wiki is the primary source.

Distinctly a stalled work in progress, but… Everlasting KAIDAN-12275 Builder @Matsiyan Inspiration @Squidget

Marsbase is so huge and so full of gorgeous ideas. I want to make guestbook comments, but I don’t even know where to start.

I was able to start touring yesterday. The macros did help! I look forward to more visits in the coming days. I left some comments in the Base Directory guestbook. I really enjoyed seeing things new to me. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14DqavAx6ov60d92rhvwy2sNEW_909MCHp421GM4q-Yk/edit

Terran Stellar Navy TSN-159 Everlasting *Disclaimer very modest Work-In-Progress! Still need to flesh out offices, barracks and supply and a last bit of medical, probably a therapist office.

Most base builders don’t do it for the inf. They will do it because it is an interesting project. Would they appreciate a huge chunk of influence after it is built? Probably! Are they going to dicker about it upfront? Probably not.

Unfortunately the Base editor is a beast unto itself written in a very different way to the rest of the game. It would need a whole new editor to be able to import or work from existing mission maps. Totally understand about where the desire to invest time differs from person to person.
