Lathrix, think of it this way. Nomads would, when coming to an area for a time, set up camp to eat and rest and drink, and then strike said camp to move to a new location. You could think of it as making a camp for fabrication of items that you set up and strike down at will to fit your nomadic whims. Just a thought.
*Sure*, you could build a base to use the scrapper and fabricator. But you could also make a base with the scrapper and fabricator on wheels with missiles! ( and an anchor block )
Hey, Lathrix, if you ever decide to start a new campaign in the future, I'd really like to see you try my no solar challenge. It's concept is really simple, the main rule being (as the title suggests) that you're not allowed to use solar panels for power production (except at the very beginning as part of the partial tutorial) meaning all your power production will be coming from furnaces or other means. There are some extra rules you can apply to make things ever more challenging and interesting, like a nomadic playstyle, size rules, and battery count rules, and I think it'd be interesting to see someone like yourself take a whack at it, especially with some of the additional rules, as they actually affect things like enemy tech spawns and promote new play styles and challenges you'll have to face in your trek across the planetscape. If you're interested in the idea, feel free to reply and let me know, and I'll give you the rundown.
The base would normally be built on the ground so making a movable base mean that certain assets like the Hawkeyes turret is unusable and it gonna be real hard comparing to just making a big mech. Also building multiple base gonna kill FPS
well, now that you mentioned that you thought about building a base but youre playing as a nomad, my idea should be perfect. you could build a platform with its bottom covered by venture hovers what would make it quite out of reach for the enemies and it would be mobile. if you would want it to drift constantly you could add a few of those hovers on its side since they produce constant propulsion. then just add a few gyroscopes and youre good to go. it should look epic as well
Hey lath. Why don't u make a base, that hovers it would be fully mobile but pressing the anchor button turns you into a base. It would be like a rolling fortress of firepower and loot
@Lathland - I'd suggest making separate craft. One to harvest (NOT SELL)... another to compress them into bricks. I'd suggest Venture fabricator compression.. since it's only 8 per block (120 for GeoCorp, but the compressor is my main tech). Then make another to sell and make things to sell (t3 components). Don't forget.. tech can anchor on the fly.. no need to build a true stationary base.
If you want to make a base, build a huge harvester/refining/manufacturing craft that can anchor when the base features are needed. Also for hard mode make it fly.
Nomads did have pop up housing. Its how they followed ther food sources, having a pop up base matches this nomadic lifestyle. Possibly modular pop ups, specialized in specific purposes
Go for small dedicated bases you spawn when needed. My 8x8 selling base can be easily changed for scrapping or charging, the 18x12 production base is thrown down when automining or midway between several quest givers.
I think instead of a base it should be a giant mobile base, complete with an artillery tower and some harvesting capability. Kinda like a mix of A Bot and B Tech.
Hey lath, keep up the great work. Rlly enjoying the building in ftd and nimbatus and now this. :) Not sure about the base thing. Would make things easier but it kinda goes against the nomad style
Well latherix all you need to know to make a hovercraft is that GSO is more to the ground and venture hovers are more for hover drones I.E they have more lift power. I love the small compact simple techs,
Bare minimum, make a Charging Station base; it makes the 'can't attach to the ground' issue go away. Also, while you can find the parts, it's easier to get them from crafting and then buying them after.
No mad means no permanent home (unless I’ve forgotten the correct terminology) this means you could have a base but you only have it there for the time during that episode maybe?
Assault bike / glider... = Delete "Hoopdi" the temporary name for the plane XD Also still looking forward to a possible Nomadic Trailerchained Aircraft carrier.. especially if it could launch Whoopty(bike/glider). No bases unless its on the nomad caravan. PS: Changing my vote for A-bot to Abbot
Make a scrapping/crafting base, but put it on treads like a Jawa sand crawler! You get your base, but it's mobile so you're still being nomadic. Now that I say that of course I think I'm going to steal this idea. I'll put some harvesting parts on it so I can gather up the materials and craft with them or turn them into resource blocks for later use... I kind of like trying to craft more stuff than just buy it from the terminals.
14:37. actually as long as you added a way to control the craft. going backwards words to fly because the spoiler inverts its lift meaning you could stay airborne Also just make a "Crafting tech with a fixed anchor on it so that it can anchor, craft, deanchor, and move
During this video you mentioned how you'd like to do sharp turns, loops and stuff, how about you use an explosive bolt for the gyro, detonate it when in combat, retrieve it after the fight, re-attach to plane?
Instead of making a base, why don't you make a train? Same as the trailer but in a sequence. You could have so much storage, different sections for different purposes, and have detachable aircraft and harvesters. Then just go full nomad and stop spawning different techs in and out.
Lathrix here is a idea for the base, since you have the caterpillar tracks from GenCorp you can make a huge model base that you can let it follow you or let it sit and wait.
The jump and hover capability for the bike is awesome. You could travel in a straight line, straight through invasions and hordes of the undead, or over them, as the case might be. I am only assuming that one day there will be hordes of the undead, of course. But it seems to be a thing. So why not prepare?
Also, I think that you should make a vehicle that acts as your base. That way, you can have defenses, have a refinery, all that stuff, but then if you have to move, you can do it immediately, and you don't have to switch (though, you could also do what you do with Abot, where you have the mobile anchor).
To keep the nomadic style and still have a base, why not some sort of wheeled oil-rig style thing (anchorable if you need to do that for some features)
For your house you should build a blimp or a flying battleship. (The ones where planes land and take off of. I just couldn't remember the name of them)
I mean, you're not any less a nomad for visiting cities and setting up temporary trading stations. And it's a logical, if not necessary, thing to do. :P
the way id do the base is have it so it's capable of mobility, move it every few episodes and set up a temporary base and it could be even more of a challenge if you avoid despawning it.
Greetings Sir Lathrix :D You could do a mobile base that can be anchored and is splitted into little "modules". This way you still can be a nomad and you have a base, without having a tech biggger than Abot :D - OnoAkuma
Hey Lath, Why not build a Mobile base? i thought originally you were going to build a train but i guess getting around would be pretty difficult. But you could go with just putting everything on wheels.
How about using a mobile base, and only setting down the carried scrap and constriction base,it will A:Obey your nomad rule, B:allow you to build C:make you look awsome....er And D: you would be more like the Mongols
Yes i do indeed support the idea of a portable base so he can grab the full potential of the game, but why the wheels? Wouldn't is be able to just be able to drop or hover!
Anyway, we should not be discussing this, lets just agree for a portable base! Unite for a greater cause, also cause Lath would decide the mode of transport.
I will watch this video so many times until I do the exact bike you did but make mine be able to really take very sharp turn without dmg and with missiles good old missiles
Oh- also, No, don't make a base, I think the point is to make everything mobile, thus the train idea you had before-- to make a long train be your 'mobile' base.
16:15 Money money money, must be funny, i a rich mans world, whooooaaa, whooooaaaa, all the things I could do if I had a little money......... Lathland... do you like Mama-Mia? Like if you LOVE the movie "Mama-Mia".
Lathrix, think of it this way.
Nomads would, when coming to an area for a time, set up camp to eat and rest and drink, and then strike said camp to move to a new location.
You could think of it as making a camp for fabrication of items that you set up and strike down at will to fit your nomadic whims.
Just a thought.
*Sure*, you could build a base to use the scrapper and fabricator. But you could also make a base with the scrapper and fabricator on wheels with missiles! ( and an anchor block )
Wow, the content just keeps pouring in! The rate of your videos being uploaded is incredible, keep up the good work!
YES MORE TERRATECH

If you do make a base, Make it a hover base!
♪That's a wonderful idea!♪
Like a hiant floating dropship? Helicarrier style?
Great idea
XD
a nomadic base
Better future :)

If you're interested in the idea, feel free to reply and let me know, and I'll give you the rundown.
Make a base that dosent stay in a place but uses thrusters (strong ones) to lift your base somewere else or us propellers
or setup multiple sparing outposts around the map
The base would normally be built on the ground so making a movable base mean that certain assets like the Hawkeyes turret is unusable and it gonna be real hard comparing to just making a big mech. Also building multiple base gonna kill FPS
The fortress hover may help now its added.
But the max tech size is 32x32x32 last I checked
fire phoenix Good idea, it can be a floating hover-base
well, now that you mentioned that you thought about building a base but youre playing as a nomad, my idea should be perfect. you could build a platform with its bottom covered by venture hovers what would make it quite out of reach for the enemies and it would be mobile. if you would want it to drift constantly you could add a few of those hovers on its side since they produce constant propulsion. then just add a few gyroscopes and youre good to go. it should look epic as well

Kire2oo2 He should pin this

Hey man, nomads setting up temporary cities is a time honoured tradition!
If you want to make a base, build a huge harvester/refining/manufacturing craft that can anchor when the base features are needed. Also for hard mode make it fly.
Nomads did have pop up housing.
Its how they followed ther food sources, having a pop up base matches this nomadic lifestyle.
Possibly modular pop ups, specialized in specific purposes
More terratech? Keep it up lath!
MORE TERRATECH!!! also keep nomadic, the warping techs into inventory is a genius mechanic!
Go for small dedicated bases you spawn when needed. My 8x8 selling base can be easily changed for scrapping or charging, the 18x12 production base is thrown down when automining or midway between several quest givers.
Definite yes to Howl's Moving Cast- I mean, Lathrix's Transportable Base
you know command and conquer? build a nod-bike! it's a reference, missiles, and a bike!
18:13 "it's like rain" yeah HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE RAIN
I think instead of a base it should be a giant mobile base, complete with an artillery tower and some harvesting capability. Kinda like a mix of A Bot and B Tech.
Portable Bases!
Its actually a NOD Attack Bike! :D
famous lathland words i can't see it (1 second later) there it is
Hey lath, keep up the great work. Rlly enjoying the building in ftd and nimbatus and now this. :)
Not sure about the base thing. Would make things easier but it kinda goes against the nomad style
Well latherix all you need to know to make a hovercraft is that GSO is more to the ground and venture hovers are more for hover drones I.E they have more lift power. I love the small compact simple techs,
This, video, was, AWESOME ! You having fun doing nothing is strangely fun, from time to time.
It’s like rain.Deadly explosive rain.
lathrix: I HAVE MORTERS :D HOW MORTIFIRING. Me: that was very painful lathrix
I would love to see you make some kind of portable base.. when it comes to building you are very creative and I think it'll turn out awesome
Thanks for the constant uploads today
Love your videos
Nomads build camps where they stay for a while. You just could call your base a camp and still be true with the nomad playstyle ;)
Bare minimum, make a Charging Station base; it makes the 'can't attach to the ground' issue go away.
Also, while you can find the parts, it's easier to get them from crafting and then buying them after.

PS: Changing my vote for A-bot to Abbot
Make a massive three-part mobile-base-on-wheels, with each part having some specific task.
Make a scrapping/crafting base, but put it on treads like a Jawa sand crawler! You get your base, but it's mobile so you're still being nomadic. Now that I say that of course I think I'm going to steal this idea.

Also just make a "Crafting tech with a fixed anchor on it so that it can anchor, craft, deanchor, and move
This makes me happy, would it be worth making a flatpack base, that summon like your vehicles? just so you can continue the nomad theme?
Nice and relaxing video. Keep up the great work!
During this video you mentioned how you'd like to do sharp turns, loops and stuff, how about you use an explosive bolt for the gyro, detonate it when in combat, retrieve it after the fight, re-attach to plane?
5 Lathland videos in 24 hours.
I must have done something to please the blood gods.
Flying base or a normal moving base on wheels
O
Instead of making a base, why don't you make a train? Same as the trailer but in a sequence. You could have so much storage, different sections for different purposes, and have detachable aircraft and harvesters. Then just go full nomad and stop spawning different techs in and out.
If you're torn between bikes and planes, build a bike-plane.
Its 2 am at night but when I see lathrix video, I click. Sleep is for the weak...
Lathrix here is a idea for the base, since you have the caterpillar tracks from GenCorp you can make a huge model base that you can let it follow you or let it sit and wait.
Build the base, it's just the most logic thing to do! I'm playing tt with your same nomadic style, but at a certain point, yeah, base is needed.
Add onto the harvester to make it a full mobile base. Whenever it anchors it can then use crafters and scrappers, ect.
if u take out the gyro stabilizer it lets u go up in the air, flip upside down, then press W for a very fast turn around.
The jump and hover capability for the bike is awesome. You could travel in a straight line, straight through invasions and hordes of the undead, or over them, as the case might be. I am only assuming that one day there will be hordes of the undead, of course. But it seems to be a thing. So why not prepare?
Congratz, you made another sub. ME. I really enjoy the content and hope you keep up the amazing work
Great video! Can't wait 'til the next one!
You could put hoverplates underneath the thrusters so when they,re about to hit the ground they push back up
Well, you can still have a giant base as long as it can move place to place and isn't grounded to one area. imo still counts as nomadic.
bikes with missiles attached to them *couch couch Top Gear couch cough*
Facade Kitsune bro that was...AWESOME!
if you use an automated harvester on a node, like carbite, it will count for the harvesting quest.
Lathrix, I love your Videos! If I ever need a laugh, all I need to do is watch one of your videos!
Also, I think that you should make a vehicle that acts as your base. That way, you can have defenses, have a refinery, all that stuff, but then if you have to move, you can do it immediately, and you don't have to switch (though, you could also do what you do with Abot, where you have the mobile anchor).
I love this series so much!
To keep the nomadic style and still have a base, why not some sort of wheeled oil-rig style thing (anchorable if you need to do that for some features)
For your house you should build a blimp or a flying battleship. (The ones where planes land and take off of. I just couldn't remember the name of them)
I mean, you're not any less a nomad for visiting cities and setting up temporary trading stations. And it's a logical, if not necessary, thing to do. :P
Another name for endless mortar barrage, razor hail, fyi I loved GoW
Lathrix would you build a huge base ? I never see you do that in Terratech before
Yo! I was thinking the same thing before I saw this video! Like a base you can just spawn and take back!
the way id do the base is have it so it's capable of mobility, move it every few episodes and set up a temporary base and it could be even more of a challenge if you avoid despawning it.
To quote a film.ah Wonderful rain wait that's not rain
Typical. Lathrix always posts videos I enjoy when I’m sleeping.
Greetings Sir Lathrix :D
You could do a mobile base that can be anchored and is splitted into little "modules". This way you still can be a nomad and you have a base, without having a tech biggger than Abot :D
- OnoAkuma
Yes! The uploads are great!,
You should make a large flying base that you can just land when you need it. (Or make it work while flying.)
More Terratech???? YES PLEASE!
Only moving bases. It's fine if it doesn't function when moving, as long as it's able to move and get around by itself.
Portabase sounds good. I like it!
I climbed up that thing by simply making a tech with propellers that keep me on the wall :D
i had accedently put my sound up to full so all you hear is GREETING SIRS AND SIRRETS
Hey Lath, Why not build a Mobile base? i thought originally you were going to build a train but i guess getting around would be pretty difficult. But you could go with just putting everything on wheels.
Sooo many vids keep up the good work:)
Build a huge mega base that makes all former bases jealous of the size and epicness of the new base.
5:07
We're in a salt bike!
We love you Lathland
How about using a mobile base, and only setting down the carried scrap and constriction base,it will
A:Obey your nomad rule,
B:allow you to build
C:make you look awsome....er
And
D: you would be more like the Mongols
I agree that you should make a base for the lathrixian legion.
Do what you want Lathrax!
I love mortars... BOOOM! (i like trains from asdf movie :D )
What about a base with wheels that can easily be anchored???
That would mean that it should be spawned at all times, but its a great idea! We should support this one guys^!
Deitus the idea would be that lath could despawn it when he moves to a new area and respawn it when he is staying around one area.
Yes i do indeed support the idea of a portable base so he can grab the full potential of the game, but why the wheels? Wouldn't is be able to just be able to drop or hover!
Deitus in my opinion, hovering achieves the same effect as wheels but lath would need a load more hover plates to lift a base compared to wheels
Anyway, we should not be discussing this, lets just agree for a portable base! Unite for a greater cause, also cause Lath would decide the mode of transport.
hey lathrix, the only thing the venture cab has that others do not is a built in speedometre.
wow two terra-tech videos in one day that's really good!
Lath nomads did make a base but they took it down to move so you can have a base but you must get rid of it when you move
How does this guy not have 1mil subs he’s awesome
Build a floating/hovering base!
This way it can be both a weapon and a selling station!
P.S. Forrest sos, said this first before I did.
TOO MANY VIDEOS TODAY BUT IDC I LOVE IT MY BOI
16:17 Money money money must be funny in the rich man's world. If you know this song leave a like so he can see this
After next episode.. how about a flying harvester? Just swoop over any resource while moving.. would need to be pretty big though xD
I will watch this video so many times until I do the exact bike you did but make mine be able to really take very sharp turn without dmg and with missiles good old missiles
I vote "YES" for a base-like thing
really lathrix?? 3 AM upload? That is so you.
Oh- also, No, don't make a base, I think the point is to make everything mobile, thus the train idea you had before-- to make a long train be your 'mobile' base.
Historical Flashback but it’s not LATE it’s just late-ish. By that I mean 9:47 pm C:
Historical Flashback but terratech doesnt have mobile scrapper and lathrix wants to scrap things
No one realizes everyone here is from different time zones......?
Do it. Just do it. Don't let your bace be just a bace. Take it with you
at 5mins in w;hen he says "Hello there feller, MISSILES" he sounds exactly like Mr. Krabbs from Spongebob... its scary.
16:15 Money money money, must be funny, i a rich mans world, whooooaaa, whooooaaaa, all the things I could do if I had a little money......... Lathland... do you like Mama-Mia?
Like if you LOVE the movie "Mama-Mia".
