<center>  </center> I should have known there would be trouble. After making it to the rain part of terraforming I noticed the next one said lake. My base is in quite a low-lying area! <center>  </center> Like most mornings now on this planet I went around exploring before getting any work around the base. A sliver of gold caught the sun at just the correct angle and it got my attention. The gold chest was loaded with goodies. Including a plant that gave a 500% boost to oxygen. Oxygen production was about to become my biggest terraforming contributor after coming to this realization. That I could find plants that gave such a massive boost. On that same exploration for the morning, I ended up finding another golden chest as well. Now that I knew what to look out for. They became a little easier to spot. I also spent a little more time now exploring behind boulders and in small cracks in mountain ranges. As I felt there must be more of these gold chests out there hiding. Back at the base I built a rocket launcher platform. I also placed down my first rocket to send up a GPS satellite. This would end up giving me a basic worldview of the planet that I could make some better exploration trips out of. Having this launcher platform could end up being quite a key in speeding up my progression in terraforming this planet. Some rockets would give a 1000% bonus towards heat or pressure among many others that I'd slowly unlock. The best part is that is each. While these rockets were a bit pricy to send up in my early days as they required a rocket engine and two super alloys. By late game, these would become quite common things for me to acquire or build. I would not think twice about spending the resources it took to send up another rocket. The base was at this point starting to feel quite cramped. So I added a second level to it and set up a bit of a grow house as the send floor. As I did not want to go up the ladder every time just to get materials. I felt it was best to just grow food up there that I'd collect once in a while. <center></center> Up the hill to the northeast of my base ended up being quite a massive cave. It was filled with a bunch of glowing ores called iridium. This stuff would be quite critical in producing lower-tier heaters, explosive power, and iridium rods. At first, I only took a few iridium. I’d end up making many trips back to this cave until it was fully cleared out. It even served as a shortcut to another area. The production of iridium rods would become quite important later on. <center>  </center> One more I woke up and I noticed water was starting to pool around the area where I had set my base up. At first, I thought perhaps there had just been a heavy rain and it would drain away after a while. The last thing you want to say to yourself after landing on an alien planet that lacks a breathable atmosphere is mistakes were made. I had been fighting for my right to survival on an almost barren planet that seemed to have just enough to survive on. This standing water would start to become an issue. <center></center> Not wanting to think much more about it I ended up going up the hill with the wreck on it. The ice that was blocking my entry had melted. Deeper inside I'd find even more ice blocking me yet again. At the very least some resources were more than worth my time to gather. I then went back to work on the base. I was getting low on power again so I built a few more solar panels. Along with a few more machines to increase my terraforming speed towards lakes. That would end up being the downfall of my first base. I just did not know it at the time. For at least a little while it seemed like the water was starting to pool up heavily in other areas near but not at my base. I even had a nice little take going a few steps to the southwest of the base. I was hopeful I'd be able to use it at some point to collect some water. I was kind of over having to collect ice chunks and then process them into water. <center></center> I then woke up one morning to discover an inch of standing water in my base. This ended up setting off all kinds of warnings inside my head. It was now clear this water was not going to be recced. It was going to become an issue at some point. I started to scout around my local area to see if I could make a short move to higher ground. It now became quite clear I had built my base in a lakebed. At the very least I was progressing along at a rate toward lakes that I more than had enough time to resolve my current issue. This also gave me a great opportunity to rebuild a much bigger base. I ended up going around gathering lots of resources. I put down the biggest habitat room I could to start my new base. I then put down some temporary lockets to store resources in. I felt it be silly to haul anything new I looted or mined back to my base that would become underwater at some point. While I had always made it a habit to come back to base with a full inventory. This new base was going to take a lot of resources to set up. I wanted to ensure I would have enough room inside that I'd be set for quite some time. <center> </center> Some of the materials would end up coming from my old base. I ended up tearing down quite a few things. Some of it like the main building and a greenhouse I had built. I wanted to keep them as I thought they would look cool to revisit one day. While I had hoped to keep everything up and running there. It became clear after a while that once a machine was covered with enough water it stopped working. Some of these I rebuilt as they were at my new base. For others, I decided to build a higher-tier variant of the machines that I'd end up removing. While that would require some higher tier resources as well to build. I had that iridium cave that was not that far from my new base providing a few resources I'd be needing for the upgrades. # Final Thoughts <center>  </center> The new base might not look like much now for now. It was however quite a few times bigger than my last. There was so much room inside I thought it be wild if I ever filled it all. That would over time end up being the case. So I'm glad I went big on it. As far as the old base. I’d end up making a trip down there every so often since it was just down the hill from the new base. I’d remove some stuff underwater and bring back a full inventory of mostly basic resources. Funny enough the one thing I'd never end up removing was the location beacon. Since it was so close to my new base. I just never cared about relocating it. It was close enough and I knew where it was from quite a few different locations by now. It would end up being kind of an inside joke to myself every time I used it to find my way back that I had built a base in a lakebed that ended up refilling with water. # Information Screenshots were taken and content was written by @Enjar about [Planet Crafter](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1284190/The_Planet_Crafter/).
