Base Starter

Base Starter is the primary block needed to start a new Base (BA). It can be placed on most terrain, including underground, underwater, and in Space.

The Base Starter currently occupies a 1x1 block (2mx2m) when placed. Previously, the Base Starter had a in the middle with 8  surrounding it (similarly to the current design of other Started Blocks).

Currently, it is the only Starter Block that consists solely of a Core and no other blocks. Once additional blocks have been added to the Base Starter, the Core can be safely removed and replaced using the Core item, if required.

It takes "Base (BA)" as it's name by default when placed, which can be changed later in the Control Panel (accessible by default key P). It shows a ghost box when held in hand (in hotbar). The ghost box turns red if the terrain is not suitable and turns green on suitable terrain. It can be placed when the ghost box turns green by left clicking.

Objects (such as Trees and Rocks) will be removed if the player attempts to place the Base Starter on them. If the player attempts to place the Base Starter on an object that cannot be removed (or structure), the error message "There is another object in the spawn area" will be displayed. If the player attempts to place the block on unsuitable terrain (red ghost box), an error message will not usually be displayed.
