Unzip and place .biso file in your Documents/PlanetExplorers/BuildingIso/ folder.
100x100 Block Platform uses 3301 Dirt and 262 Wood. (This may change with revisions.)
Use Free Camera mode, Arrow Keys and PgUp/PgDown to position a large BISO. Do not move mouse, as that resets the position. When in position, carefully click the mouse to place the structure.
Lower platform deck is 15 blocks high. You want to keep the deck at least 8 blocks off the ground to stop most large predators. Upper deck is 20 blocks above the Lower deck, so there is room for most vehicles and all colony equipment except for the Fusion Reactor on the lower level.
Because the BISO includes ramps, the in-game material list will not display correctly. Ramps face N-S, and you can usually only rotate 180 degrees using ramps or the ramps will glitch (game bug). If you want an East-West facing, you will likely need to replace the ramps. I may include files for E-W replacement ramps in future revisions, if there is a lot of interest.
The design is intended to provide a large colony area with minimalist approach to materials, both for easier material cost and to reduce lag time when approaching the colony.
It is not meant to be fancy, but rather fast and functional for an early colony placement. It is, however, an elegant design in some respects, both in form and functionality. Materials can easily be replaced or filled in using a "drag and fill" method, if you decide to continue using the design for an end-game colony.
Future revisions may include: Stub-outs for bridges to other colony platforms, farming platform, MCTAL platform, bridge sections, ramp sections.
