A small video snippet from my Sandbox Colony, Elbaran Estate.

Keeping to the overgrown greenhouse theme, I extended the atrium to the left, making another Nature Reserve ontop of these two Ovagaro plants that naturally spawned in the map. I thought they looked pretty cool natural generation and deceided to preserve it. I made it into a mini Pip Sanctuary but kept the Pips I spawned in as wild to a population burst like last time. The Pips are free to explore most of the Atrium and have access to another area at the bottom of the Printer Room where they are a source of renewable energy as they can run on little wheels. The Pips serve an extra function as a slow but renewable source of Dirt.

I only had one duplicant in the colony named "Elbaran Estate" so I built them a really nice bedroom.

It functions as a Luxury Barracks due to the type of bed I'm using. If I ever get more dupes, I could try making a wooden cabin themed barracks.

This one was featured in my coverphoto and is from one of my colonies named "Elberan Estate".

I had gotten my hands on the Prehistoric DLC after making one of previous colonies "Cafe ni Aling Estreya" and decided to make a new sandbox colony as I really wanted to start on the new asteroid the DLC had.

I decided I wanted a build that had an "Overgrown Greenhouse" kind of vibe which matched the Printer. So with the help of a few mods for new building items, the Prehisotric DLC and some sandbox magic, I made this pretty nice atrium area that counts as a Nature Reserve.

Hope you like the build!

Another screenshot from one of my Colonies, "Cafe ni Aling Estreya".

This one shows my build for four private bedrooms, showers and a washroom. I was going for the Washroom Room bonus so I only put in one sink. I'm pretty sure they take a shower most of the time they enter or leave the Washroom though.

I also have a mod to modify Duplicant traits, which allowed me to the add a lot of points certain traits if I added more Debuffs and negative traits to my duplicants. All my Dupes have the Nyctophobic trait and need lights when they sleep so every bedroom has a lamp near their bed.

I just noticed the air vent in one of the bedrooms is not that useful. I forgot to take that out when I was building the washroom. :P

This is my Pip Sanctuary for my sandbox colony, "Cafe ni Aling Estreya".

The sanctuary is made up of multiple Stables that allow the use of grooming stations and critter condos. To prevent the rooms from being too big to count as stables, I put doors to divide the space and leave them open for the critters.

Be careful when building one of these :D. My Pip population boomed super fast!

A Screenshot of my Printing Pod room in Colony "Cafe ni Aling Estreya". (I name my colonies after locations or characters in stories I write.)

This was my first sandbox built colony as I wanted to experiment with an aesthetic looking and somewhat functioning base. I haven't really made it that far in game before things start to go way downhill so I wanted to try sandbox mode for this colony.

I hope ya'll like the build! I might show off other sections of the colonies in a bit.

Fun thing I usually do with my portal room is turn it into a Nature Reserve especially if I have Pips around. The duplicants pass it often so its a pretty good morale booster. I have other colonies that also do this without the mods + sandbox that let me place down dirt tiles, spawn pips and wild plants.
