People keep objecting to a wipe because they say it would take too much time to build a base again.
Except your levels and skill would NOT be wiped. That means you would be starting again fresh but you could go right into building a black ice base if you wanted. Also keep in mind the fact that you would KNOW where everything was. Unlike your first play through, or your learning process, you would be able to go straight to what you need because you KNOW the map.
A lot of people who think that building a base would take “forever” are forgetting that they already know how to play the game well. How to build, where to get the materials etc. It would be easy.
