How do I create a base?

I just made my own SG and now want to make my base. How do I do this? All I want are teleporters, nothing else really
thanks

To start a base, you just visit the same guy you registered the SG with and tell him you want to build a base. This will give you access to a base with one room (the entry way). This room can only accept decorative items.

Your next step will be to purchase an Oversite room (cost: 50,000 prestige) and put a combo power/control unit in it (Cost: 25,000 Pres and gives 75 control and 125 power). This will give you a little power and control to get started. You'll next need a workshop room (cost: 50,000 Pres) and a basic workbench/forge (cost: 25,000 Pres). With these you can craft your teleporters.

Now you need Teleporter rooms, they cost 100,000 each and can hold 2 TP units (4 beacons to locations), but you can go "cheap" but a Teleporter Bay for 50,000 which holds only one Teleporter.

Keep in mind that each teleporter costs 15,000 pres to place and each beacon costs 10,000 to place. Each teleporter also consumes 50 power and 25 control and each beacon consums 5 control (a "full teleporter" costs 35,000 and burns 50 power and 35 control with the beacons). In other words, even if you delete the work bench, you cna only equip 2 teleporter and 4 beacons before you run out of power and control.

By now, you need to updrade again, adding a proper set of power and control items, this means you need a Control room (100,000) and an Energy Terminal room (100,000) as well as a Mainframe computer (50,000) and basic generator(200,000). You now have your basic items.

From this point its a matter of simply adding teleport rooms, teleporters and beacons, while upgrading (or adding to) the basic control items.

All in all, to get you to a point where you can have a decent number of porters, you'll need to accumulate Between 600,000 and 1 million prestige. however, you can get started and functional in the 200,000 prestige range.

As above but you can put the forge in the oversight room and you don't have to keep it. Create it, see what you need to craft your teleporter and go find it. After you successfully craft the teleporter sell the forge to get back the prestige.

Then create your teleporter room (I suggest the 2x2 room because the alcove only allows 1 beacon), go to "Place Personal Items" (or something similar) and put down your teleporter in the room. Go back to normal edit mode to place your teleporter beacons.

You'll need to earn the beacons by getting the exploration badges in the various areas while in SG mode.

Be sure to turn on Supergroup mode (under the Supergroup tab on the chat box), and try to build up some Prestige. You'll start with 20k but you need to earn all the rest of it and you'll need a lot to get teleporters.

You have plenty of time to learn by tinkering with your 1 room base while you build up prestige. Just remember, prestige never goes away, you can always sell whatever you put down for the same amount you bought it for.

I highly recommend that you go to the Bases forum and look through some of the guides.

Thank you both very much. I appreciate the help, Im creating it now using your guides

Someday, all this could be yours.

Just a quick addendum to Forbin's guide.

• When you craft the telepad, it goes into your "personal items" pocket. This means you will need to go out of regular editing mode and go into "add personal item" edit mode in order to place them. This is true for all crafted base items, as well as veteran reward items

• Beacons can be found in the regular edit mode, purchasable through the items tab for teleport rooms. Remember, to get the beacons you must hit the exploration badges in a zone while in SG mode. If you by chance get a badge while not in SG mode, fear not, you can go back and hit it again with SG mode on and it will credit toward the beacon.

I'm usually quite abashed.
