How to build a military/industrial/future style base?

[LeoMC]

Hey guys,

I need your help. I, to keep it short, suck at building. Like bad. I can build a cobble 9*9 and that's about it. Problem being: I want a military/industrial/future style base, which I'd add all kinds of addons onto. Like I'd have a main hub, floors and adding to that, modules. It should be pretty expandable, so these modules are easy to build. I'll have it in a void age probably, so there's place to build, but most likely just visually appearing from the inside. I'll have it self-sustaining, maybe even some security systems, automated with MFFS and CC. Probably some CC monitors with touch around to control stuff. AE will be used to automate the most of it. Self-sustaining means no input(no extra ages/overworld mining, keeping everything at the one spot). Some of the stuff I'll probably have: A bunch of MFR farms, SoulShard spawners, bees.

Any ideas on what I could do additionally?

And most importantly, any suggestions on the modules/the main hub? I'd love some images or something

Greetings

Leo

If you want self sustaining, and you can get good power generation, you can have ore production without requiring mining extra worlds. MFR Laser Drills are fantastic for mining without destroying landscape. They consume huge amounts of MJ and then produce an ore that is obtained from "beneath bedrock". I'm pretty sure that they will still work in a void age, and it will allow you to make machines/devices that consume metals while still meeting your requirement of not depending on outside resources.

I definetly use them, probably have a chunk of ultimate hybrids setup to power 16 of them. They are very expensive it seems like, but it's a good solution.

My suggestion? Sketch it out on paper, first. No need to be perfect, just get a general idea. Then start filling in details / precision. Once you have the idea solidified, start diggin'

Also remember to think in 3D.

Metal blocks. metal blocks everywhere.

This might help you lay out the basis if u want to

Thanks for the great suggestions so far. I'll definetly use a lot of the MFR stuff, it seems very useful. I setup some MFR lasers for testing, which worked out great, so I'll definetly build them in. Maybe, to the iron add some blueish stuff? Not sure about that :/
