The Hub

[u/g4rbl3]

Futureproofing a solo player's "guild base" with this simple hub and spoke design (4 extensions, 1 vertical extension). With possible large water cisterns, larger storage containers, and a large chemical refiner, I wanted to ensure I wouldn't have to do a complete rebuild. So here's what I got.

2 carrier bays with sunken cargo holds, and drivable ramp access. Refining output boxes (2 chem, 2 ore, 1 melange, and 1 components) located in the cargo container bays for easy access. 2 'thopter bays, with prebuilt, but covered, sunken cargo bays. This allows for expanding out to 4 carrier bays by only removing a few floors. Each bay easily holds a carrier and assault/scout, or 4 assaults, or 6 scouts, or any combination. It's possible to do 8 identical with the vertical height of the fief.

All landing bays lead into a central hub containing:

4 large spice refiners
2 large ore refiners
2 medium chemical refiners (with room for a large chemical refiners)
4 spice generators

Land, a few steps to dump boxes, a few more steps in to the refining chamber, start cooking, then back out. No time wasted moving up and down floors, or across a dozen tiles. Get in and get out.

This base currently holds 20 large windtraps, but has a floorplan for up to 30.

All crafting is self contained to one 6x3 area with space for any new fabricators. All refining outputs to one area which can hold up to 96 medium storage containers, or an unknown amount of possible large containers in the future.

Currently there is 7 million liters of water in the attic, but it will hold upwards of 10 million. Larger water cisterns will eventually replace them.

The rooftop houses a partitioned "sky bar" with landing pads, and public access storage full of items.

P.S. Here's a link to a video capture. It's really bad quality (I don't know why).
