+
+**Seabases** are installations created by the player through the use of the [[Habitat Builder]]. Not to be confused with [[Pioneer Seabases]].
+
+A Seabase provides an area where the [[Player]] can return for oxygen and serves as an alternative to the [[Lifepod]] as a base of operations. Within a seabase, the player can construct additional storage space, access appliances not available in the Lifepod, and add aesthetic options. Thus, seabases provide safe havens away from the [[Shallows]] the player starts in.
+
+The player will start with most of the blueprints they need for a basic Seabase, but many more [[Blueprints]] can be found which allow additional module types to be created. The initial compartment must be built on or near the ground but any additional compartments can overhang without any issue, allowing bases to be built over cliffsides.
+
+## Energy Usage
+
+[[Energy]] can be provided to a Seabase by building various types of generators near or inside the Seabase. Any number or combination can be used. Appliances such as the Fabricator will drain energy from the Seabase.
+
+There are currently four generators available to power Seabases:
+* [[Solar Panel]]s, which work best near the surface
+* [[Bioreactor]]s, which consume any organic matter for power
+* [[Thermal Plant]]s, which collect heat energy (use near Lava Geysers and Black Smokers)
+* [[Hydroelectric Turbine]]s, which generate power from streams of water
+
+Seabases do not require energy to operate in [[Game Modes|Creative Mode]].
+
+## Oxygen
+
+Seabases automatically produce [[Oxygen]] as long as there is power supplied. If the power is depleted, the Seabase will slowly lose oxygen until it is completely gone.
