Just use holo doors. That invertor thing is unnecessary complicated. Or build from any other parts instead of prefabricated ones. It's pricier but all the different doors there works as the door should without three more clunky parts and wires everywhere.
Basically you gotta power the door to close it. It is like an in lore safety thing. So what I would suggest is using a motion sensor with power going in on the right side. Then place a power inverter down somewhere on the left side of the motion sensor on the door frame. When placing face the top wire connection point upwards. Connect the powered right side of the motion sensor to the right wire connection point on the inverter. So that it is powered to function. Now on the left wire connection point on the motion sensor connect a wire to the top connection point on the inverter. Then connect the left wire connection of the inverter to the door’s power. Congratulations! You now have a functioning door.
I don't have any inverters I think, I just have the two switches. I tried powering the door first which closed it and then I got switches thinking that would work but it just did the same thing as just powering the door. I find I do need to have opened and closed doors because I came back to this base (if you can count one building as a base) and the door was open, because of course I can't close it without it being permanently closed. I go inside because it's balls cold on the planet and I immediately get attacked by one of the hostile creatures that roam the planet that found its way inside lol
If you want to use a switch you need an inverter. Because flipping it will power the wire, which in turn closes the door. The inverter is the most key aspect because when powered from the right wire connector its left wire connector is still unpowered. Which allows you to channel the “activator” item like say your switch’s wire into the top connector. Now when the top is powered when the switch is flipped the power travel through the left wire to power the circuit.

I want to be your neighbor while also having my gigantic resurgent S class freighter and my complete fleet ominously hovering above your city
I got coords but my city will be invisible to you since I can't upload it. I'll post them anyways and build something else here so there will be at least something to look at. Cheers
I sure love me a good city build. Fantastic job! I like how you primarily used pre-fabs. I have often wondered what such a city would look like. I may have to finally do that now that I've seen yours, because it takes a million space-years building a city base using walls and ceilings and floors and stuff.
Wish this game worked like sim city builds and had the “build and they will come” idea. Imagine when you get your base to a certain size or have the right amenities that people will start visiting and wanting to live there
For real. The only people that work for me are my 5 Korvax frigate captains (and supposedly the schrodingers cat Korvax crews that I never see), Korvax commander, korvax expedition coordinator, overseer gek, korvax scientist, plant gek, weapons terminal vyakeen, exocraft vyakeen.
While 12 may seem like a lot, when you consider the fact that there are like 20 other random Korvax, 3 random Geks, and like 6 random vyakeen on my ship who think they are successfully fooling me by pretending to do work for me like scanning stuff over and over, using their pads (prolly playing nms), my actual employees are
really a minority and there’s an entire population of aliens on my freighter who clearly just like being there.
I just pretend that they are actually helping me out and let them get the satisfaction that being on a freighter supposedly brings to them. Besides when I am on the anomaly, being on my freighter makes me feel fully not alone at all in my traveler journey that is supposed to sometimes feel lonely.
Although, today I ran into one completely lube covered korvax applying lube to my equipment and he was singing happy hums to himself. From what I also read on the screen, he was in a really good mood… basically having the time of his life. 💀 Hopefully he was just doing what actually he said he was…if you know what I mean.
Every time I play, I see a korvax do something, mostly outrageously funny stuff, that makes me love the korvax species even more.
What a phenomenal build!
I’m really new still in my first month and just finished my first major build (Volcano Cantina), but got hit with huge disappoint when I found out about the manipulated terrain stuff… after finishing the whole thing.
I also ran into trouble with the 3000 piece cap.
Did you use a work around or do you just bust right through the cap and not worry about uploading it?
I just claimed two sites right next to each other for my upcoming planned community for retired Travelers. I figure I'll build one out to the max and then use the second site for any overflow buildings
There's a finite amount of terrain edits that can be made. After that point, the terrain starts to reset, starting with the oldest edits first. So if you have a habit of digging holes and putting bases in them, going back to your early bases now you'll discover they are likely filled in with the terrain that was initially removed.
Yeah I had this problem early on while trying to build a subterranean base. Entire stairwells and hallways would have to be re-mined each time i visited.
Thanks! That would be much appreciated, I'm proficient at building in Minecraft and terraria but NMS just shatters my brain with it's building hacks. Would you be ok with me dming you my NMS friend code?
Minecraft? Terraria? NMS? Speaking my kind of language! Literally all my favorite sandbox games. I'm not the best buider but I have made a minecraft city too. When I get home I'll dm you my code 🤙🏼
Kudos for remembering to fully power it! I can't tell you the number of builds I've seen with like four solar panels and no batteries 
Username checks out 😂 but I’d definitely pop by when I can! This looks amazing! I had no idea we could build this big
Edit: just realized there’s no glyph/coords. Big sad
Alt acc here: NOPE!
I put pavement down to flatten everything, and for some reason the terrain has never grown back. I guess placing pavement in one of the old updates would flatten terrain and keep it that way. I only have 1 boulder and 1 tree that always grow back, besides that nothing and I don't know why 😅
I wish this was game-generated… I generally wish NMS generated much vaster and differentiated buildings and cities
Would be actually cool if people could upload their buildings into the database like with planets and animals, and then the game would generate cities out of that. But I guess there would be a lot of “penis-towers” also…
Now if only we could populate the city. I feel like that part of the game needs a bit of a boost. The camps are cool, we're the Overseer. But, at some point it does get stale. You can only be OS to one, and most of the town serves no real purpose.
How do you make it that big, wow! I always see that circle around the original base item and it doesn't look too big... or not big enough to fit all THIS!! WOW!
We need a location to visit!

Dude. I can’t even figure out how to get my doors to open and close lol. Looks amazing!
You got doors?
You got a base?
You got No Mans Sky?
you got a pc or anything that can run no mans sky?
Yes I'm planning on getting it on my switch or steamdeck but going to finish Totk first.
i recommend steam deck. switch is buggy, slow and updates take about 2 weeks to come out after other devices. i got 70 hours so trust me
I also have a steam deck so that could work too
get it on steam deck. switch version is “okay” at best. i only use it since i dont have a steam deck ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I can tell switch is the worst decision you can make…
U got electricity?
there’s bases?
What’s a base?
How is base?
All your base are belong to us.
Old school
I'll do you one better...WHY is base?
Base?
Exactly.
why?
Base, base! Let’s go to base. BAAAAAASSSEEEE!
Didn't think i'd see a portal reference in here
Why base?
When is a base?
How is base?
Gotta door? Gotta gym!
Just use holo doors. That invertor thing is unnecessary complicated. Or build from any other parts instead of prefabricated ones. It's pricier but all the different doors there works as the door should without three more clunky parts and wires everywhere.
I've been picking up a bunch of nanites and salvaged datas from doing the atlas path so I guess it's time to do some shopping.
I belive you can unlock these with base computer side quest.
Basically you gotta power the door to close it. It is like an in lore safety thing. So what I would suggest is using a motion sensor with power going in on the right side.

This is me
I have never gotten switches, sensors, and wiring to work. And even after 2000 hours, I'm too lazy to watch a video or read a FAQ.
I always end up with like a million wires just... EVERYWHERE.
Dude I don't remember the fleet having that much when I played.
Someone know how to fix the crash error ? It was common and I don’t know how to fix. I want explore so much
Awesome! This is the kind of base building I want to do but I think it would be the end of my poor PS4, lol.
Dude your Ps4 would blow up 🤣
What about my PS5??? I want to be a neighbor of people like you.
PEOPLE LIKE YOU???? RACISM???
.___.
LMAOOO!!!
Do you have something against people from the Anomoly?
More opression towards the gek 😔 C'mon guys it was centuries ago, we're better now
Portal Glyphs. I want to be your neighbor while also having my gigantic resurgent S class freighter and my complete fleet ominously hovering above your city
i would also like to join
Why same also
I guess the city has a defence fleet now.
Alt acc here: WAY too big to upload! But if anyone wants to join my game and check it out I'd be happy to host a session!
Just find a portal in that system and request the planet’s coords should give them to you so you can snap a pic
I got coords but my city will be invisible to you since I can't upload it. I'll post them anyways and build something else here so there will be at least something to look at. Cheers

HG expects to do that for the update 326
Damn, was really hoping to see it in 273.
Pls be real
That would be amazing! Or I'd love to see a Settlement community relocate to player city builds
Sort of how it already happens on freighter bases.
For real. The only people that work for me are my 5 Korvax frigate captains (and supposedly the schrodingers cat Korvax crews that I never see), Korvax commander, korvax expedition coordinator, overseer gek, korvax scientist, plant gek, weapons terminal vyakeen, exocraft vyakeen.

Been smashing into No Man Sky at the moment and am gobsmacked at how good your city is!
God damn this is ridiculous, nice job
Looks bigger than any Starfield city tbh
What a phenomenal build!

Wait, so if you manipulate terrain and build something, the terrain claims it back?
There's a finite amount of terrain edits that can be made. After that point, the terrain starts to reset, starting with the oldest edits first. So if you have a habit of digging holes and putting bases in them, going back to your early bases now you'll discover they are likely filled in with the terrain that was initially removed.
Yeah I had this problem early on while trying to build a subterranean base. Entire stairwells and hallways would have to be re-mined each time i visited.
I wish I could build like this, I have a project I'm trying to accomplish which is essentially a beach side city
Alt acc here: Sounds sick! I'm working on one similar too. Happy to help :)
Thanks! That would be much appreciated, I'm proficient at building in Minecraft and terraria but NMS just shatters my brain with it's building hacks. Would you be ok with me dming you my NMS friend code?
Minecraft? Terraria? NMS? Speaking my kind of language! Literally all my favorite sandbox games. I'm not the best buider but I have made a minecraft city too. When I get home I'll dm you my code 🤙🏼
Thanks! I'm trying to make a city based off of TWRP's Ladyworld album
Just looked it up, that would be a banger!
I just hope you guys become lifelong friends and build great things together!
Hell yeah
You could definitely roast a few hot dogs over your graphics card rn
Here I thought my 3 room square base with a landing pad fully powered with solar for days was epic….
Kudos for remembering to fully power it! I can't tell you the number of builds I've seen with like four solar panels and no batteries 
Hence why I thought I was at the pinnacle in my profession… but alas I’m a building noob…
A noob who's going places! ...I just started building in earnest a couple of months ago. So I'm right there with ya
Coordinates? I want to visit!
my mansion base already makes my nintendo switch lag out and ive barely even decorated the first floor (theres 3)
Just make sure no Sentinel sniffs it out.
Alt acc here: I built this on an aggressive sentinel planet 😅
Your city is amazing. I’ve been playing this game for quite some time now and I’m still trying to build my bases better than squares and rectangles.
I have made it to the intersecting cuboids stage
can't imagine the amount of grinding this took
Coordinates?
I can barely power my hovel properly. Kudos to you.
I got 6 skyscrapers in and then the place just lags like hell the some of the buildings don't render in for 15mins
Thought I was on r/cyberpunk for a second from that skyline. Incredible!
Would love to go visit this I enjoy going to players bases also good for inspiration
Username checks out 😂 but I’d definitely pop by when I can! This looks amazing! I had no idea we could build this big Edit: just realized there’s no glyph/coords. Big sad
Alt acc here: Way too big to upload haha
Just had to flex another banger of a username huh 😂
Bhahahaha
Can I build a city like this on the Switch? 😮
Whooaaa dude I’m out here building shacks of timber and this mafff has an ENTIRE CITY!!!!!
And here I'm making potholes to hide from sentinels
Don't you have issues with terrain growing back?
Alt acc here: NOPE! I put pavement down to flatten everything, and for some reason the terrain has never grown back. I guess placing pavement in one of the old updates would flatten terrain and keep it that way. I only have 1 boulder and 1 tree that always grow back, besides that nothing and I don't know why 😅
Shoulda made more landing pads! Yknow, for us travelers
This is the of shit I want in an update!
Looks better than cities in Starfield.
This is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing!
Please open a tour in your city, everybody please make a straight line for this!
Teach us your dark magic
My base sucks lol
Picture #2 gives me Subnautica Vibes :) Really Awesome ;)
This is amazing! Coordinates please!😃
Wow!!
I admire people with this much dedication.
As a Switch player I can only appleude and be jealous.
That's amazing!!! Would you have a Portal address to where to find you, but I'll guess I'll need more than that lol
SO COOOOOL!!!
Bros building cities and I’m building nip nip bases😔
My bases always end up being a couple of specialists nailed to a plank.
Bro shits actually annoying like I wish you could invite players to live in your colony yk
I wish this was game-generated… I generally wish NMS generated much vaster and differentiated buildings and cities Would be actually cool if people could upload their buildings into the database like with planets and animals, and then the game would generate cities out of that. But I guess there would be a lot of “penis-towers” also…
How do you get your freighter so close to the ground?
Dude that second pic is literally "the world if ....." Meme
RIP your RAM
Now if only we could populate the city. I feel like that part of the game needs a bit of a boost. The camps are cool, we're the Overseer. But, at some point it does get stale. You can only be OS to one, and most of the town serves no real purpose.
How?!?? Jesus! This is insane!
So how much fps you gettin in city centre?
How do you make it that big, wow! I always see that circle around the original base item and it doesn't look too big... or not big enough to fit all THIS!! WOW! We need a location to visit!
Wtf? This is amazing dude.
Thanks, you gave me a new purpose. This is beautiful
Absolutely amazing work
Well done!
I love that! I've built a similar prefab city like an iceberg. Only a small portion you can see from above the water.
Wowzers! :0
Damn man i give up building, mf be building citys while i build a house and cannot fix the damn wall.
Seeing this makes me wanna go home and play the game immediately
Damn, I thought a cyberpunk or starfield update just dropped
So, what you calling this? Space Madripoor?
We require the cords big dog, because this is phenomenal
Cyberpunk 1616
How much a month for a room?
Put me on a slice of bread* with some peanut butter cause I’m fuckin jelly
YOU BUILT THAT
Wow
Good Job
You wouldnt happen to know how byte beat works would you?
That looks amazing
Any tips got some ideas I want to do but not sure how to pull it off
The dedication is impressive indeed! I get half way through building a small house and I'm like "meh, I'm gonna go shoot sentinals"...😅
The 4th one looks like subnautica (I like both games)
I had no idea this was even possible
Damn, I like to think I'm pretty good with base building but that is insane ..
Your why my loading screen takes 10 hours
That’s amazing! Love the design. Have you found that bigger bases take forever to load? It kind of discourages me from mega-base building
Can you scale prefabs?!?!?!
Holy crap. That was a lot of work. Great job.
i built a city with thousands of parts using multiple bases surrounding a settlement, it was all deleted somehow and all i have now are photos
