Here's a design for a basic submarine base that we used on Sunday:

This design uses a garage door. If you use a double door instead it'll cost 100 less metal, but you'll also need to remove and replace the door every time you bring the sub in and out.

If you build it so that the floor of the triangle foundations is just above the waterline that should be deep enough for the sub. You can see me building the base at 8:33:17 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHq8NzwZEh4

We tried building this on the edge of an iceberg, but it seemed impossible because their edges are a sheer drop into the water. You need ground to place the foundations on.

Note that the window in front of the TC is supposed to be filled in to make the TC more expensive to reach. You remove the glass with a hammer each time you want to access the TC.

There's barely space in this base to place two sleeping bags but you could expand it outwards from the front door as needed.

There are two subs, right? I think the other one is a one-seater, so not very useful, but we want all vehicles for completeness' sake. But we could just make two of these bases, which will also be safer than one.

I like the design because it feels sci-fi militaristic.

Why not put a door in front of the TC room instead of a window?

It's SO useful having the video to watch you build it. It must have been so much fun navigating there with the sub and choosing a place and building it. I shouldn't have gone to sleep.

I bought the "Submarine Door" sheet metal door skin to use in this hangar for the entrance and internal doors: https://steamcommunity.com/market/listi ... ine%20Door

Price €14,10. It's among the most expensive door skins.

I am on the lookout for an appropriate garage door skin too for the sub doors.

Bought this for the garage door.

Deep Sea Garage Door for €1,89: https://steamcommunity.com/market/listi ... age%20Door

It's not a matching set with the entry door I posted above, but it's the closest we can get right now, and looks good in its own right.
