Absolutely for the multiplayer.

The game evokes memories of some games: Dungeon Keeper (the underground digging part I suppose),

I don't know if you've ever seen that program/algorythm called "game of life". It's maybe a bit to far but have mecanics of self replicating structures could be interesting. For different purpose as explore, fight, replicate and so on.

You got it for the abandonned bases! Sounds funny and rewarding :)

For the bosses, depending on the story/universe you could have some big creatures (or other structures) trying to grab your precious ressources. Imagine those creatures attracted by light or electricity. They'll go away with a few hit first but they'll come more confident. Then they could if defeated give you the reward with those same blueprints.

One interesting thing with your ressource management is that if you have some limited core energy, you'll be forced to make choices (could be tough ones) to dismount some old constructions to build somewhere else. It could lead with some weak points in the structure where you should pay attention. Or try to grow like the enveloppe of a cell :)

I have seen the game of life! It's insane what some people have made in that simulation, including a giant simulator of the game of life itself! 

I love the idea of giant creatures attracted to light/electricity, perhaps it even bothers them hence why they're trying to destroy you (the electric field gives it a headache?). It would give players an incentive not to get too big. I also like the idea that they get scared at first but get more confident and start to get more aggressive once they've checked you out from a distance.

I love the idea of having to destroy structures and recycle because you're low on resource, and that it could create weak points because of limited resource. Perhaps there's a second resource (metal) that has to be conserved. 

I also love the metaphor of a cell, that's really interesting. 

Do you have any other thoughts? Also your ideas are amazing, I would love your input throughout development.

Not any other ideas right now, but I'll check the discord for sure :)
Have a look at this video, maybe it can trigger some more ideas: 

(and the channel is really interesting and inspiring btw)
