> Post Your Base Exploits <

Before everyone get's their pants in an uproar...I'm not talking about Game Exploits. I mean things like how we use to be able to create double doors and such...but the bugs that actually are helpful and currently exist.

Nothing harmful to the game though or could be breaking the rules!

Please include clear instructions so we can all make use!

Currently,as far as my knowledge goes.There are no bugs or exploits presently. Double/triple doorways-no longer possible. Stacking/melding all possible without any special tricks involved.
Still not able to put anything in doorways.They look so..plain..unfinished...empty.
Perhaps some year in the far distant future(sarcasm),they will realize the "HUGE" potential that bases hold!
Until then,we make use of what we have and create what we can that was never intended to be.

I agree with everything you said.

Does anyone know how to get a plain glass on the glass emblem stands yet? Last I heard they nerfed that also.

Actually,that was another "bug exploit" There were several SG symbols that were "bugged" and did not show on any item they were placed on,such as banners,tech/arcane tile,glass logo and hologram.There were also, at the same time,SG symbols that would show incorrectly.
Alas,that was fixed in I14 release to live.

You know,funny thing that is irrelevant.
My son told me I should get Sims,he said I could build whatever I wanted with proper tools provided.
My reply to him was...."The challenge is making the items I want - out of items that were never intended to become - what they are now"
Yeah..I know..kind of a cheesey reply to him. But I guess the point I was attempting to make is...would it be the challenge that it is today?
Would my base look as awesome as it does now,if I had real floors to use? Real walls to use? Probably not. I have walls made from the hanging lamps,and I have to say..in my opinion they look very cool!

Yeah, you have a case of "We're not doing it because it's easy, we're doing it because it's HARD!" syndrome.

Yes,Yes,I have to admit. I am a sick little puppy
My therapist tells me I must face the truth and tell the world of my sickness so that I may help in the recovery of myself and others.
My therapist is on call 24/7/365 --I have her permission to send all base builders with this "disease" to her office
Did I mention I get a kickback for referrals?

You get a kick in the back everytime you send one of us to your therapist ?

Cool.

NO,more like a kick in A**

Is it possible to stack either stone blocks, Tech crates in front of a doorway? I was thinking of stacking the moss covered arcane blocked to the ceiling nd creat a narrow opening.

in front of it, sure, but not in it.

BTW, GH, I think Sonny needs to treat Klaudia better than he has been, and Kristina needs to confess her part of the accident.

But keep in mind if you are stacking those stone blocks you need to use a floor plate to keep going up. I did this in my Villian base and if you are to do it have lots of time and your favorite nonalcoloic drink because you will need it. You can see a pic of that doorway in this weeks City Scoop.

We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too. "

I know I was able to make a light hang from a ceiling I made from floating desks by pratically stacking it on top of itself.
You select the ceiling light, and then after placing it you select it again, you can move it around a little, as long as it'd be "on where it used to be" and when you place it there, it's lowered.

after 5 minutes of experiencing the Twisted Burrow your therapist filed a restraining order against me.

I was just able to place a florescent ceiling light on a grey round table (2 half tables together). I did it by accident, but now that I know it can be done...

I used a variety of stone blocks to obscure a doorway in one of my hero bases as well. Posted info and a link about it all here

Probably nothing new and exciting, but I had some fun stacking bookcases and some stacked, 'recessed' lighting.

ceiling Hanging banners: all ya do is look straight at the banner, and move it, and keep it where it is, and It should pop forward. easy as cake.

How do I get the holograms (small and large) to get out-of-sync with each other? Not different icons on them, I can do that already.

I mean, say, one has the icon facing you, and the other is 90 degrees from that, so it's edge on.

I placed a large and a small on each other so the large holo was "above" the small one, nothing new I'm sure. But for some reason the pictures were 90 degrees out of sync with each other. I thought that was just the way they were, so didn't think much about it. It looked cool.

Then I messed with it, and I haven't been able to get them back out-of-sync since. They're always aligned.

Or was that something they recently "fixed".

Why ask here how to exploit?

Why not ask developers add some stuff or function to base system?

You need something done, then ask for it.

Oh we are asking the devs for the things we want trust me there is a sticky with a consolidated list of our requests.

However in the past we have gotten a lot of cool things done without the devs by someone finding a bug or something that allows us to do fun stuffs

examples being magic desks and magic doors

btw welcome EU base builder glad to have ya with us

Yes, we've been asking for over 2 years now with an organized and concise listing. When Issue 13 was All your base belong to us, we were ecstatic.

At this point, I'm fried with debating and asking for stuff. Although I did come across my PMs with Sunstorm about the salvage capacities being drastically insufficient. An 8-man team still can't buff up with the empowerment stations because you can't hold enough salvage in the base to cover it.

Meh, did I mention I'm fried.

Would also be nice if those buff stations could be used by coalition/non SG team members.I am not sure why they are locked to only SG members. After all,team members are able to enter your base and sell salvage/recipes/insps. at the tree of wonder/auto-doc.Why is it they cannot use the buff stations? Mind-boggling.
