This can be used either as a minimal starter base to build onto, or a standalone defense tower. I wanted an almost absolute minimal base with a 30mm cannon so I made this. I didn't make it too tall but wanted some elevation in case you want to dig a pit to...

Note: You might like the second version (Dark Fortress II) better as some of the weaknesses of this design have been addressed. But I left this version here because it's less costly and doesn't have any underground parts. Do you have too much crushed rock ...

Do you have too much crushed rock sitting around and you're not sure what to do with it? Do you like to customize things and not just spawn and forget? Well maybe this is the answer to your crushed rock surplus. This is a large stealthlike armored concrete...

Another attempt to make an inexpensive early game base that looks decent, but this time an above-ground version that doesn't require any digging. This is regular concrete on the outside and carbon composite on the floor and walls inside, so it's for calmer...

Only Level 5, this is intended as a bare minimal early game survival base. Except for places where defensive value is critical, Carbon Composite (textured to look like steel) is used as much as possible. The only disadvantage over an above-ground base is t...

Only level 7! This is an upgrade of Mini-Fort I with armored concrete and armored windows. It's good for slightly more hostile planets. The turrets on the top are moved off to the sides with a third turret added. The top becomes a landing pad suitable for ...

This is a relatively early game complete base solution that isn't too expensive to build. About half a stack of stone and a pile of wood is the bulk of the materials, the rest is pretty minimal. It's made of plain concrete and carbon composite. It can be s...

Only Level 5, this is an underground starter base that is a more elaborate version of Underground Starter I. It's more expensive but it's better designed for expansion and looks fancier on the surface. It is more suitable for multiplayer co-op where you ma...

Very minimal and very cheap base for deployment in orbit. It is intended to give you a starting point with maximum solar panels, lots of capacitors (6), and other basic equipment. Spawn this with the solar panels pointed directly at the sun. Space has some...
