I dunno if this is already well known, but I figured out you can base-build inside the PCF!

From the very beginning, you should be able to build base modules either on the aquarium floor or near the main entrance; building by the entrance is handy since you can park a thermal reactor on the other side of the door. I set up a simple I-tube just so I could grow some potatoes & melons inside; that way I could explore around without having to worry too much about hunger/thirst (no way in hell I'm bringing the Cyclops down there). Handy for storage, too, if you're looking to hoard ion cubes or whatever. Putting a fabricator in there might be a decent idea, though I never bothered.

ANYWAYS, I soon discovered that by chaining pieces together, you can build *anywhere* in the PCF, which makes some otherwise inaccessible parts of it reachable if you can line things up right. The trick is to begin from a legal starting point, then snake your way towards your destination three or four modules at a time, deconstructing the "tail" of the snake as you go along and re-using the recovered titanium to build the "head", if that makes sense. I managed to build all the way up to the far side of the moon pool so I could investigate the otherwise inaccessible balcony (this was before I found out about the second teleporter). Completely pointless, but there's something deeply amusing to me about having a multipurpose room just hovering stupidly over the moonpool. One thing I haven't tried yet is building a scan room - wonder if you can fly the cameras around indoors?
