So you want to build a base?
Base building: very fun, extremely time and labor intensive.
To build a base you will need the following items:
A standard main terminal.
500 construction blocks.
Lithus Mk2
Heavy Mech industrial robot with 5 construction modules.
A standard main terminal is your center point to your base. Bases are like cities in this game. Meaning you'll have to Provide other buildings to turn on facilities, if you want to repair damaged modules in station you'll have to build a repair facility. Requires a building foundation and more construction blocks.
Construction blocks: they are expensive! You have to have colixium which can only be mined on gamma with a mining tower(which also has to be built using construction blocks). Which means if your brand new you'll have to buy them off the market the seeded Syn tec blocks.
Lithus mk2 or scarab pilot, these are robots to transport items. Extremely expensive and e intensive.
Once you get all that you'll need to be in a player corporation. You won't have access controls in npc starter corporations.
Then you will have to find a nice flat area in a non red zone. To place the terminal it'll be a little thing you'll have to click on to activate it. Once it's active a huge hologram structure pops up. You go back switch out your heavy mech load your arms and cargo up with construction blocks and return start building. During this time your building can be completely destroyed. So you need to be fast. You'll target the structure and click on your construction arms/modules. You will only be able to run three arms at one time. And because we masochist developers, you'll have to make three separate trips because construction blocks are heavy. Once four hours is over(build time + running back refilling arms + avoiding roaming npcs). You'll have a terminal up.
Now, every gamma has a Pvp player faction on it. Meaning they will try to kill you and your base. So you'll need a reactor, energy backbones, energy transfers, and turrets. Probably repair nodes for turrets. Your going to have to power the base too. GG with that. So approx 28 hours build time solo. Doesn't include manufacturing the items.
