I had an idea for a short bit of sewer pipe in our base, but I scrapped the idea. Basidly it was taking the small blocks in Arcane and building a round pipe in a small corridor. It's a heck of a lot of work but with some slowfields and nicely positioned debris you'd have one heck of an entrance.

Sounds great, can you scrap together a picture for me?
@Turbo_Starr
Heh.. Not really. Not from the base at least. Just think of the blocks as legos and then build the sides.. Wait a sec. Some of that pipe survived in my little park.
Hmm.. Ok I'll post a couple of pictures then. Brb.

Ok. This is what I mean. It didn't exactly come out as I had planned the sewer pipe. But you get the idea. Just build it in a corridor instead of a room and build up the sides.

That looks great! Ok, i'm using it...I have another idea to. Will post when it's done.
@Turbo_Starr
Sewers? Yeah I have an entire sewer line that leads to the base hidden in a spot where the sewer line's wall was broken through into a cavern.
The idea is that everytime we upgrade the plot size, no less than half of the plot will be the maze of sewer tunnels we have. There are currently two lines of sewers from the entry, and only one, no matter how many we add, will ever lead to the actual base. For those of you wondering, this is all at the request of the SG's members.
I need to do more screenshots to update the current layout (we have a lot more sewer now) but here is where I have some of the screenshots from the previous layout. There are examples of the sewers I've done in that folder.
We're on Virtue if anyone wants to see it first-hand.

Here is a picture of the sewer I am working on to date. Still looking for more insperation. Take a Look HERE
@Turbo_Starr
@Demon Hunter: Very nice base. 
But my Sg would kill me if they had to run through a maze to get into the base. Guess it works on Virtue. 
@Turbo: Nice look. But please change the water to anything but blue. Try green, brown or anything but blue. That ruins the feel IMO.
And while on the subject of bases. I'm almost done. I only have the control/meeting room and the trophy room left. Pics upcoming.

Actually, the idea of the maze was their idea. I started off with just one straightforward line of sewers that had a hole in one wall leading into the cavern that leads into the base. They wanted to see it hidden more though, and asked me to make sure it was really hidden away. |

First rule of base building, at least for me, is to build whatever the SG asks for whenever possible. They asked for the maze, so I'm building it.
Thanks for the compliment otherwise though.
I'll post updated pics once we upgrade the plot again, which will add both more sewer lines and also our new meeting room, the Longbow Chaser hangar and launch tubes.

Ok, here are up to date pictures. I made some changes including making the water green instead of blue. What do you all think?
Entrence
Walking into the sewer
Look from below the city
View from the corner
View from the corner as well
Secret passage to the base
Leading in to the base
View from the other side of the base looking in
So this room isnt what it seems. Sure its a sewer, but when baddies enter, they will be in for a rude welcome! Check out the scopion suprise guns!
From the front
From the side
From the corner
From the top
Here are some pictures of the guns when they are hidden. During raids, they pop up from below. Thought this pic looked cool.

Looks better IMO Turbo. Nice job. A few details perhaps?

Wow! I was going to go for a sewer theme on my next base, and this is just brilliant! Can you give us a rundown of the parts used?

)srsly though excellent job putting your vision together.
Thank you! That means a lot.
And more to come. I am working on the other room.
@Turbo_Starr
Turbo. For you to have the number 1 SG on triumph, you have the smallest base. One day I would like you to let me show you a few things about base building. Come to villains and I will let you see my base over there. Tons of goodies

Sure, I would like that. What is your global? Though I havent posted my entire base yet. I just post rooms here and there.

Here's a small part of my old base.
It's hard to see, I've used a (tech) floor vent for some steam around a turbine housing.
The floor vent is hidden/sunken but the smoke is visible in game.

Would you mind telling me what you used for the grates under the arches? I've been trying to figure it out and it's driving me nuts.

Large rusted vents. Once I placed the vents, I added another arch to to cover. So really its an arch/vent/arch.
@Turbo_Starr
Thanks! Actually, looking at the images, I think you used Huge Rusted Vents. But I like the way the Large look on mine
One last question and then I'll (Probably) quit bothering you: It looks like you managed to put the vents on the sides of stone blocks... How did you do that? >.<
Wall items stick to the sides of cubicles. Use cubicles to "float" wall items anywhere you want. Including next to stone blocks so it looks like they are attached.

Has anyone ever tried to make a sewer in your base?
I am working on making a sewer based entrance which leads into our Tech layout but was looking for base builders support. I really have no idea what objects could create other then maybe several water treatment tubes. Any ideas/inspiration?
