Community Spotlight: Amazing Base Designs

September 8, 20254 min read

The Star Birds community continues to amaze us with their incredible creativity and engineering prowess. Here are some of the most impressive asteroid bases we've seen so far.

Since the Early Access launch, players have been pushing the boundaries of what's possible in Star Birds. From ultra-efficient mining operations to breathtakingly beautiful artistic creations, the community has shown that asteroid base building is both an art and a science.

Today, we're highlighting three exceptional bases that showcase different approaches to asteroid colonization. Each represents hours of careful planning, creative problem-solving, and masterful execution.

Design Principles

What makes these bases so exceptional? After analyzing dozens of community creations, we've identified several key principles that the best builders follow:

Top Building Tips from the Community

  • Plan your pipe network first: The most efficient bases start with a well-designed transportation system before placing production buildings.
  • Use the asteroid's natural shape: Work with the terrain rather than against it to create more organic and efficient layouts.
  • Balance efficiency and aesthetics: The best bases are both functional and beautiful, proving that form and function can coexist.
  • Think in three dimensions: Don't forget that asteroids are spherical – use the entire surface for maximum efficiency.
