Moonpool

The Moonpool is a seabase module that creates an opening in the floor of a seabase.

Recipe

The blueprint for the Moonpool is unlocked by finding its Recipe Data Card, which can be found at the Tailings Village, Tadpole Pens, and Canteen, or by scanning two Tadpole fragments.

Purpose

The Moonpool creates an opening in the floor of a Room module which can be used as an entrance and exit, as well as a mount point for Tadpole Docks and Vehicle Fabricators.

Once constructed, a Moonpool can be extended indefinitely, as long as there is floor space in the Room it is placed in. Additionally, the edges of a Moonpool can be changed to a yellow-black pattern by selecting them with the Habitat Builder directly.

The Vehicle Fabricator and Tadpole Dock can only be constructed on the edge of a Moonpool.

Ladders can be placed on Moonpools to provide an easy entrance point for the Player.

Databank Entry

Moonpool

An opening in the habitat's lower hull for direct entry by divers and submersibles.

Because the habitat's interior atmosphere is at the same pressure as the surrounding water, seawater cannot rise through the moonpool. No hatch membrane is therefore necessary, although this comes with sanitation and quarantine risks.

Moonpools are good locations for vehicle bays, high-traffic dive sites, and brief idylls such as kicking or stone-skipping. Be sure to wear your AEP suit to avoid loss of heat.

Caution: unless locked behind a bulkhead, moonpools offer free access to your habitat for intruders.
