+# Architect Bases+ +![SN Environment PrecursorExt01A lorez](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/SN_Environment_PrecursorExt01A_lorez.jpg?c517a)+Early concept art of an Architect Base.+ +**Category**: Structures+**Type**: Architects+**Depth range**: +- 0 - 1400 meters (Subnautica)+- 0 - 950 meters (Below Zero)+ +Architect Bases are ancient structures built by the Architects on Planet 4546B roughly one thousand years prior to the events of Subnautica. Most major installations are located within The Crater, with a number of smaller, auxiliary ones being located in Sector Zero. Additionally, minor installations—known as caches—can be found in both areas. With the exception of the Disease Research Facility, all bases and caches are in working order, with some still in active operation due to their automated nature.+ +## Architect Bases in The Crater+ +### Main Bases+ +| Location | Description | Goto ID/Coordinates |+| :--- | :--- | :--- |+| ![Quarantine Enforcement Platform](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/GunInfoboxPic.png/160px-GunInfoboxPic.png?8e5de) **Quarantine Enforcement Platform** | A massive automated weapon system found on the Mountain Island. | `gun`<br>`gunmoonpool`<br>`gun_elevator_enter`<br>`gun_elevator_exit` |+| ![Disease Research Facility](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/DRFExterior2.png/160px-DRFExterior2.png?155a1) **Disease Research Facility** | A heavily-damaged facility found on the seafloor of the Lost River. | `lostriverbase` |+| ![Alien Thermal Plant](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/PTPGInfoboxPic.png/160px-PTPGInfoboxPic.png?f7b00) **Alien Thermal Plant** | A geothermal energy plant found in the Inactive Lava Zone's Lava Castle. | `lavacastlebase`<br>`lavacastlebaseinside` |+| ![Primary Containment Facility](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/PCFInfobox2.jpg/160px-PCFInfobox2.jpg?bd62e) **Primary Containment Facility** | A vast facility in the Lava Lakes that houses the last known Sea Emperor Leviathan. | `antechamber`<br>`aquarium`<br>`prison` |+ +### Caches+ +Caches found in the Crater are locked and require a specific Alien Tablet to open.

A user on the forums revealed screenshots of the bases and they spread quickly. After seeing this, the developers quickly removed them and asked pictures of them to be prevented from spreading; they called it "a huge screw up".+ +The small structures that surround the Primary Containment Facility are known as Sonic Deterrents. Lore-wise, they are designed to protect the bases from large creatures, but do not function in gameplay.
