Control Room

The Control Room is a base piece in Subnautica: Below Zero. It allows the player to name and color their Seabase, as well as managing power.

Uses
The Control Room has a number of displays and interactive components. On one wall is a display showing the current time of day, the base's name and total Hull Integrity, and general details of base power. The latter shows the base's current power reserves as a percentage of its maximum storage, the amount currently generated in green, and the amount currently being used in red.

On the opposite wall is an interactive display, which uses the same interface as a Vehicle Upgrade Console, allowing the player to name their base and choose its colors with a color picker.

In the center of the Control Room is a console which shows a holographic display of the base's layout (rooms, corridors and Foundations), with base parts defaulting to blue save for the Control Room which is yellow. The player can adjust the position of the map by interacting with the joystick on one side. While interacting with this, the movement keys will move the hologram around, while swim up and swim down are used to shift it up and down.

Placing the crosshair over any part of the base hologram will show the component's name, current power generation and consumption, and its contribution to the base's overall structural integrity, the latter including the bonuses of any parts that strengthen or weaken it.

Clicking on a room while its description is visible will toggle its power supply on and off: rooms that are switched off will change from blue to red. This can be used to manage base power in case of shortages by turning off rooms with high power consumption, or to save fuel in a Bioreactor or Nuclear Reactor by switching off power-draining rooms before leaving the base. Turning off the power to a base piece will also turn off any internal lighting in that piece, but does not deactivate Floodlights. The Control Room cannot deactivate itself.

A Control Room automatically adds a beacon for the base with the chosen name appended to it.

Recipe
The blueprint for this object is acquired from a Data Box in Research Base Omega, at 546, -202, -1054. It is crafted in the Habitat Builder.
