TL;DR The Degasi bases are located in three main areas: the Floating Island, Jellyshroom Cave, and Deep Grand Reef.
Floating Island
The first Degasi base can be found on the Floating Island. This location is above water and features two separate habitats that were used by the Degasi crew for scientific purposes [2:2]. The island is accessible early in the game and provides a safe environment to explore without the threat of underwater creatures.
Jellyshroom Cave
The second Degasi base is located in the Jellyshroom Cave. This area is more challenging due to its depth and the presence of hostile creatures like the crab squid [3:1]. Players often experience difficulty navigating this area, especially if they leave their Seamoth lights on, which attracts crabsquids
[3:5]. The Jellyshroom Cave is an essential location for progressing through the game's storyline.
Deep Grand Reef
The third and final Degasi base is situated in the Deep Grand Reef. This area is known for its eerie ambiance and dangerous inhabitants, including warpers and crabsquids [5:7]
[5:10]. Many players find this biome intimidating due to its claustrophobic nature and aggressive creatures
[5:11]. Despite these challenges, the base contains valuable resources and items, such as the orange tablet
[3:2].
Exploration Tips
Navigating to and exploring these bases requires preparation and strategy. It's recommended to park your Seamoth or Cyclops at a safe distance from hostile creatures [5:9]. Using tools like the stasis gun can help manage threats like crabsquids
[3:9]. Additionally, following radio signals and crafting necessary equipment will guide players to these locations
[1:7].
Hey, I spoilered this post just as a pre-caution bc I'm not sure what these things are, but whats a degasi seabase and where do I find it? I know that they're on land but I've only been to the island with the gun so dont know where to find them. Are they on that same island? I dont really like to google things like this just to avoid spoilers
We cant tell you what Degasi is without major spoilers.
Eventually the radio will guide you, so don't worry.
Ah alright. Thank you for letting me know^^
actually the radio doesn't mention or lead directly to any Degasi site. as close as it gets is the island marker that indirectly will lead explorers to find the island habitats. the other bases are all triggered by pda acquisition.
Radio calls are triggered by progressing through the game, things like crafting sth specific or visiting a specific biome. Focus on getting yourself a seamoth submarine
You must go down to find what you seek, not up.
But I dont like going down! Its scary! Why do I have to go under water in a game about a water planet? /j
To be fair the chase first starts with an ascent. Two ascents really.
It’s all downhill from there tho
Follow your radio signals. When unsure, go deeper.
Turns out succeeding in subnautica is a lot like succeeding in poetry
Follow the white rabbit.
Im sure its been done a million times, but I recreated these two in creative, seeing if it would be a fun project for survival.
These are actually pretty neat!
What about the surface ones on the floating island?
You did a great job.
The degasi bases themselves are pretty crap though. They make no sense.
It's probably because the son wanted to use them primarily for science, not to be permanently habitable
Probably why they didn’t survive very long
Except for Margeruit. She maxed out the skill „plot armor“
I’ve personally never seen them in a new state! Looks good!
I dont even go to the third base anymore. Its not worth it.
But isn’t the third base the only place where you can find an orange tablet?
Everyone has died by leaving the lights on in their Seamoth and drowning at least once
I got proof. I did it twice in fact. https://i.redd.it/5mvkd1d6inrz.jpg They were both left right above the base at crab squid level.
May be the crab squid moved in after they did.
This is in Newport, Oregon. I just went there with my parents a few months ago. Really nice place with an under the sea are down stairs.
What's actually down there? I've been right outside a dozen times but never went in
It's like a area they have sealed off from the actual harbor where they do little shows talking about sea life that's local to the area.
Love the stasis gun.
That’s how I scan my reaper leviathans
Is this a mod or just a different game
No mans sky
I have a pet crab squid named Gary from an egg.
I live in the red grass area and so once I lost him and thought I lost him or hit him with my Cyclops. I cried for 1 hour straight. I had connected with Gary. He killed peepers and little red guys for me. I had connected with me. And now hes gone
Until I found him in the kelp forest killing a stalker.
😭😭😭
Decided to go looking for the base down there, I brought my cyclops by the entrance of the cave and went down in my seamoth
I do my exploring, then I look out the window, where seamoth fragments are falling
So I have to frantically swim up to my cyclops (200m away) while avoiding crabsquids and warpers
Scariest shit of all time.
Now, you might be saying, why didn't I go in with my cyclops? Well, I wanted to, except idk how large the entrance was, and to exit I'd be maneuvering around with an EMP every 10 seconds
The Cyclops fits in there, lots of hull scratching though.
The Cyclops technically angers Crabsquids and invite creature attacks, but they are incapable of doing enough damage to harm it.. the Cyclops auto repair is faster. I also don't recall them ever successfully EMPing it. They are really not a threat.
They EMP my Cyclops all the time time when I try to drive it into Lost River from the last degasi base. I have to keep getting out and stabbing them.
I saw a let’s play where the guy parks his Seamoth at the cave’s ceiling, I did that twice and it worked both times
Oh man you brought your cyclops.
I wish I did that.
I was needing oxygen when I left the base, to not be able to find my trusty seamoth.
I figured out it was emp
EMPing my flashlight, I didn't know he was breaking my ship too.
Park the seamoth some distance away, in a hole the goddamn crabsquid cant chew on it. And yeah, the same crabsquid ALWAYS aggros you when youre inside. Its personal. Nowadays I just kill him before entering, even though the warper makes it difficult sometimes.
I remember that one day, I got into the third base and heard a boom in the distance after some time. It was my seamoth (I called it "Seamone"), and I had like 30 seconds of oxygen remaining. I died and reloaded my last save
Crab squid are super easy to kill to just swim above them and go straight down and stab them their ai breaks and won’t move anywhere but down and they can hit you at all
The Grand Reef, to me, is the only biome that’s immediately “no.” I want as little to do with it as possible. I *detest* crabsquid like nothing else in the game.
For me it's the claustrophobia too. Like you can barely keep an unupgraded Seamoth there with you near the stalactites. I think their grab animation is amazing but horrific too
They just leave you alone unless you go up to 'em. The place has a ton of good resources, especially early-game.
I always go "Fuck it, maximum depth is just a number." and make my way from Lifepod 17 to the Degasi base by hugging the ceiling with my seamoth.
*No, you cant place Multipurpose Rooms on the center of Foundations*

im sry since im stupid asf but what are the glass things at the end of the i-beams called?
they look cool but i cant find them in my menu thing
Observatory
They aren’t i beams. You can get those glass domes by building an X shaped slot and placing regular glass windows at the ends of the X slot creating those glass domes
tysm vro
observatory? you have to scan the blueprint, should be found from any of the degasi bases
Love this idea! I also just started building in this exact location
The crabsquids kept safely inside is a really nice touch.
Thx, im glad someone noticed lol
They look like theyre posing for the picture 😅
The angle of the first image makes it look like a sunken star destroyer!
bart torgals secret fifth base
One of my favorite things about the game is how it leaves things for the player to follow to advance the story. So I got to the Grand Reef Degasi base and the achievement for learning their fate, but there doesn't seem to be anything there.
I didn't find any new modules or blueprints there, just a creature egg and an orange tablet. I'm guessing that's the real prize here, but I don't know what it goes to.
I can't help but feel like I'm missing something here. Is there anything else to follow after this point, or was it just a story based dead end?
It's mainly just a waypoint to lead you to >!the lost river!<. There's also the orange tab, Cuddlefish egg, and a containment unit you can scan. Plus lore stuff, if that interests you.
And the shield generator blueprint. You can't leave without it.
I did not find any blueprints or data boxes. I'll look again.
The orange tablet & blueprint is needed to open several doors.
Actually I think there is only one door that needs an orange tablet, >!the Lost River cache with the cuddle fish egg!<. But the lore is still important to piece the story together
Orange tablet is needed for a singular door and that room isn't even important.
Yes, there is a point. You should read the in game lore and PDA things to discover all this stuff.
Going to assume you are a first time player. You should honestly (not being mean at all here) leave this sub. Someone gave me the same advice here and so glad I did. You only get a first time playthrough once, and most of us here have already done so.
Don’t spoil it for yourself. The game is amazing.
If you explore near that base just a tiny bit…
I found an entrance to a new area and a place to use the Orange Tablet. Plus a giant alien skeleton that I'm not quite sure I feel okay seeing.
Is it safe to build a base in this area? It doesn't feel very safe, but it also feels like I'm going to be here a while.
There's an area further in that's completely safe. The area near where the biome shifts into the deep grand reef is pretty safe though I think? I don't recall ever running into anything there at least.
Look for the big tree. It’s safe there
I'll reread it, but I didn't notice anything that I hadn't already put together.
Is it nuclear powered?
It’s nuclear. It started out as Bio but after things to eat there isn’t enough organic material in the LR to sustain the reactor as there is in the shallows. Uranite is pretty easy to find.
I may have been playing wrong, but isn't the best way to power a base is bio reactor? Maybe even more than one, you can grow infinite food right next to it for infinite energy
The reactor rods can make the base have energy when you return more consistently (because they need less manual supervision). With the bioreactor, its out of energy half the time when I come back because I left the scanner room on (or something else that drains power). Even installing a nuclear reactor and not powering it helps for me, just for the energy capacity.
Nice look. Is it the cave under the Grand Reef that leads to LR? Or LR itself?
Judging by the color, I'd have to guess that's actually in the lost river.
Why does everyone have all these create bases and mine ends up being some crappy looking towers
Ikr, I can never have a good base, everytime I think I’m gonna do it one room gets blocked off by nothing and I have to restart somewhere new
protip: open the console and type "item terraformer". Then use the the tool it gives you to utterly destroy the environment around the area where you want to build, once you've moved enough earth eventually it will let you construct that base piece.
Once you're satisfied with the construction, go back to the title menu and load up your save, all the terrain you destroyed will be back as it was before. I do this every time I want to build somewhere but something invisible is blocking me from doing so.
Until I built this I had a sprawling base in the shallows of corridors and towers that had grown slowly over time as I discovered blueprints. The location in the LR is pretty specific. It’s easier to design to a location than it is to create something interesting in a big open space. Just look for that special location and build there.
It’s not clear in this image but everything to the right is mostly glass. Everything in the tower on the left is functional stuff (reactor, purifier etc) and a huge amount of reinforcement to counter all the glass on the other side. It’s too good a spot not to use a lot of glass - views from the inside are awesome!
Where exactly is this located?
Looks fucking dope
I have set up my first base next to lifepod 17 an completed the Aurora and all Lifepods. After I found the degassi outpost I am pretty much lost, not finding new content. Would you give me a nudge where to set up my new base and where to dive deeper?
(I can reach up to 80m with my Seamoth. And 500with my cyclops and prawn suit)
I think a good second base is lost river, set up a scanner room and get the nickel you need for deeper dives. Lots of thermals down there as well.
I have heard about the lost river a lot of times. But have not yet come across it. Where should generaly look to find it?(no concretr location please)
The 500m degassi base is a good starting place, the blood kelp zone has some entrances, I generally go west from my base and the down the holes you find.
Start off at the blood kelp zone in the NW is the best way to start you off without any concrete info
Go deep. There are multiple entrances.
I go to the Degrassi 500 base in a full depth seamoth with several beacons and an extra power cell (and med kits lol) and from that spot I zip around the whole biome in the seamoth and set beacons at interesting or important places. Remember that you are looking for good entrances to bring the cyclops into the lost river and then down.
How do you deal the crabs around the degrassi base?
When I actually go into that base I park the seamoth in what I hope is a safe spot a fair distance away and use the seaglide to zip back and forth for air and for a repair if needed. Always, always save before you park in case you get unlucky. I have used the perimeter defense system successfully when passing through crab territory but now I use that ugrade slot for storage and just book it past them to safer waters.
On any corner of the tree early biomes, shallows/Kelp forest/red grass areas, where deeper areas are close by.
There's a PDA in a half open locker at the 250m base that is super easy to miss that points you to the 500m base. I suggest getting a stasis rifle and keeping your lights off down there :)
Sounds like you need to add some depth modules to your seamoth. I think you can get it upgraded to go to depths of 900z
I already added the mk3 Depth modell i dont know how I would make the mk4(?)
