One time we had like 7 or 8 decent bases, and each had several satellites. But our portal stuff was daisy chained all wonky and we kept getting lost. One night i got tired of it and made a central portal chamber, linked everything, built a nice little rest stop inside. Spent like 4 hours re-configuring the roof to make it look nice and called it a night.
Woke up the next day to find they deleted the server
