I have built a base on Atlantis that started at a class 6.5 or so before plants went in. Now that I filled it with plants its been pushed up to a class 7.66 ( 8 ).
What I’m wondering is if I need to remove some plots to take it down to a class 7, or if grow plots don’t really effect the build limit restrictions?
If the grow plots don’t effect the build limit then would I be able to build say a class 7 base, then fill it to class 8 or 9 with plants?
I asked in the Global chat but no one seemed to be able to answer me. thanks for your time! 🙂

hey everything counts to increase the class size, including the plants themselves, class limit is 7 or 7.45, be careful on how you build, try and take out devices that u dont use eg lights…

yeah, thats exactly what i thought.
I currently have a 7.66 base going on Atlantis right now.
Adding the plants pushed it over 7.45 and so far everything seems fine with it. I haven’t received a warning or anything. what should happen to the base?

That is a gray zone we allow due to structures class raising when damaged.
If you get over you get a warning. but better to keep below it from the start.
