Slow Fields

fairly new to base building. i spent a mind-numbing 12 hours this last weekend going over base building stuff here on the forums (some really great bases!). i saw numerous bases with slow fields for water, and i was looking for some information on them, such as what rooms they will and won't go in, and what are the pre-reqs for the slow field?


50 Inv/SS Tank, 50 Inv/EM Tank, 50 FA/SS Tank, 50 Shield/SS Tank, 50 WP/SS Tank, 50 Dark/Dark Tank, 50 EM/Elec Brute, 50 SS/FA Brute, 50 SS/SR Brute, 50 Fire/Kin Controller, 50 Plant/Storm Controller, 50 Earth/Therm Controller, 50 Necro/Dark MM, 50 Bots/FF MM, 50 Elec/SD Scrapper, 50 Arch/MM Blaster, 50 Emp/Psi Defender

No, I don't think so. I think it's just a matter of the room being able to contain Defensive Items. I'm pretty sure I've had past rooms that were only choke points.

This may sound a bit like I'm dumbing things down, but when you're creating a room, in the right hand corner of the screen, when you click on the room you (potentially) want to create, it will tell you what it will and will not hold. As long as that room allows for Defensive Items, it will hold a slow field, regardless of base plot size. (obviously you have to have the room in your plot to put the room into your base).

I'm pretty sure some rooms that aren't defensive will allow for a small number of defensive items as well.

Could I get some confirmation on this one? ^

The wiki (linked above) provides both your answers. When you scroll down and click on either of the room types (next to "base rooms"), you will see which rooms hold defensive items and how many.

Also:
"Hidden Base Plots have greater limitations on the number of Energy, Control, and Battery Base Items allowed than Secure Base Plots"

So in other words. The amount of defense items, isn't affected.
