Single Plot Base - Floating Glass City

[Scarlet Shocker]

I have a base already, called the Glass House.

 

It's made of bricks

 

That is incongruous in itself. But that's probably more a reflection of my (lack of) skills in building.

 

I recall it was possible to make huge bases - effectively a single plot massive entrance room that is divided by walls we place ourselves. I don't know if that's still possible but if it is, how do I do it.

 

My vision for this is a large base, not overly large but in a world where I have the ability, multi-level, and interesting for visitors, where most of it looks like glass or at least partially transparent, and preferably floating in space.

 

That leaves questions such as how do I anchor the floor, made of what, and what goes under it?

 

I have few building skills and issues withlong attention span so I will welcome any quick tips, advice, suggestions, guidance, what have you.

 

Like I said I already have a base with storage, TPs etc whcih means I'm probably going to have to build around some of it (unless I can build a base and import it somehow?) so I've probably made a rod for  my own back but so be it.

 

If you're struggling with the concept, try imagining Superman's Ice Palace melded with Gerry Anderson's Skybase from Captain Scarlet (the original puppet series) but with views outside from inside

At the top of the forum is a list of pinned posts. One of them is The Base Building Guide. Start there. Lots of great information in the links there.

Shame we can't replace the floor with sky like we do the ceiling
