Made something Similar, but designed it to be built into a hill, that way you only have to work on attacks from a smaller direction. I also placed the core a bit of a distance from the structure as that helps prevent direct attacks as they seem to go for the core

been looking for something like this. my bud's and I are ready to break out of starter planet... this will fit in nice. I'll let ya know how it works out. thanks

I see what you mean. I hadn't thought of scavenging farm plots. I usually make them from concrete anyway. I'm not sure if I should change this BP now because people have gotten used to it but maybe I'll create a version with no plots.

Using placeholders making the blueprint versatile. For example, I have 30 steel plots after scalveging POI farm. However they don't go to your blueprint.
I have tested your build just now and all I've changed is added blocks below plots. So now I have 6 "pools" where I can put whatever plots I have. Here is a screenshot: https://puu.sh/CUANS/61455bcb60.jpg

Maybe I should create a "farm starter" that is a minimal base with solar and no plant beds but has a food processor to help make the plant beds? Except most small bases have this already.....

You mean make a version that you can place before you can craft the plant bed blocks? I hadn't thought to do that because I figured most people would not place this as the very first base structure. Most people will put down a starter base first then make plant beds with it. I created some starter bases with no plant beds but they have the food processor to make them.

Hi! Thats exactly what I need fot modular base of mine! Thanks.

A small suggestion. Please change growing plots with some cover-blocks. Those are requered in factory, thus must be crafted anyways.
