What does base building look like in Honeycomb?

Your base is both shelter and laboratory, and its design is deliberately organic: developer Frozen Way describes modular building pieces “inspired by natural shapes found in Art Nouveau.” Expect solar-powered habitats raised on stilts with wide windows, drones that assist construction, and a planning-friendly blueprint system that handles the busywork when you just want a functioning lab.

Utilities and the laboratory

A working base needs infrastructure. Confirmed pieces include water pumps and solar panels to supply the site, grow pods for plant experiments, and laboratory devices for analysing samples collected on expeditions. The lab is where the bioengineering loop lives: cultivate plants, experiment on samples, and research your way toward new species.

Where should you build first?

Official guidance is to find a water source, gather materials, and expand as your research grows. The first system pages are live: the building plan system (IVS blueprints and construction drones), the laboratory (sample analysis, grow pods, bioengineering), and base utilities (water pumps and solar power). The full index below updates automatically. In-game specifics — module rosters, device costs, experiment mechanics — are verified against the live build before they land on a page.
