While a powered base is flooded there is an area at the top of the moonpool that contains oxygen.

Entering a flooded base and exiting through a Moonpool with a Seaglide equipped will cause the player to swim at incredible speeds.

If the roof is not being used for anything else (particularly Solar Panels in shallower water), there is enough flat space to place Exterior Growbeds on it.

With full acceleration, a Seaglide can jump into the moonpool without using the ladders. If a moonpool is located next to another moonpool, a double connection is possible. This allows the player to freely exit and enter the Seabase outside their vehicle without needing to use a Hatch. The Moonpool also allows the player to access their base from the water via two Ladders on either end of the bottom entrance. The 'rear' of the building is where the rotating antenna is located on the roof: the 'front' of the building dictates the direction a vehicle will face when undocking. As one cannot rotate the Moonpool with the builder, the player will have to physically position themself so that the building 'faces' the direction they want it to. It should ideally be built far enough off the seafloor that a Seamoth will not hit the ground when it is deployed, but close enough that a Prawn Suit can easily reach the entrance with its thrusters. It is recommended to have an appropriate amount of space between the bottom entrance of the Moonpool and the sea floor. To reliably charge a vehicle, one Moonpool requires at least 150 Energy, equal to two Solar Panels. The rate of charging at a Moonpool is much faster than if one were to use a Power Cell Charger: this means that docking a Prawn Suit and swapping out its two Power Cells (which the player still has full access to) is superior to building a Power Cell Charger. Docked vehicles will be charged from the base's Energy, restoring an equivalent amount of Energy to the vehicle's Power Cells.

It can, however, release vehicles without power. The Seabase that the Moonpool is attached to must have power (except in Creative Mode) in order to dock vehicles. These can be found in Wrecks or the Mushroom Forest. To unlock the Moonpool Blueprint, the player must scan two of its Fragments. They can also access a Prawn Suit's shoulder-mounted Power Cells, though they will have to jump into the water to access the Power Cell of a Seamoth.

From here the player can access the vehicle's upgrade slots and any cargo storage, repair the vehicle, or re-enter the vehicle upon which it is automatically released back into the water. Upon entering the access area, robotic arms will reach down and grab the vehicle out of the water, securing it for charging while a short animation plays of Ryley getting out of the vehicle. The Moonpool can dock one vehicle at a time, and is used by approaching the underside of the structure. It must be placed below water to be useful. It functions as a dock and charging station for a Seamoth or Prawn Suit and is the only room where the Vehicle Upgrade Console can be placed. When docked, the Seatruck cab detaches from the module train and swivels to one side, allowing the player to walk freely into either.The Moonpool is a Seabase module which is constructed with the Habitat Builder. Instead, build it in open water so that the Seatruck can have an open space to dock and eject from without having to worry about it crashing into terrain.

It is recommended to not build a Seatruck Dock next to any terrain where the Seatruck ejects from.

Placeable items such as Posters and Flasks cannot be placed inside the Seatruck Dock. On this terminal is two screens of live video feed. From the built-in terminal, the player can also customize their Seatruck and its modules to their liking. Once powered, the Seatruck docked within will both be repaired and recharged at the cost of power. In order to dock a Seatruck, the base attached to the Seatruck Dock must be powered.

The Seatruck Dock is a long constructible seabase module which is constructed with the Habitat Builder that acts as a docking solution solely to house the Seatruck and any attached modules.
