Here is my rendering of Talos-I station from Prey 2017. It's still WIP, the sub-sections that are complete now are: Arboretum, Crew Quarters, Bridge and Deep Storage
The interior is a bit lackluster on decoration because the base is at high altitude (almost 2000m) and a lot of base parts don't render correctly. I made a separate post about that:
https://www.reddit.com/r/NMS_Bases/comments/1svmj45/high_altitude_base_building_list_of_parts_that/
A couple of month ago I started to work on a high altitude base.
One of the issues when building those is disappearing base parts. After placing them and teleporting away from the base and back again or reloading the game the base part no longer renders (and thus cannot be removed), but is still contributing to base part count.
Testing with the save editor, if the base has been restored at the lower altitude the disappeared base parts start rendering again.
Some parts have been observed to disappear intermittently - they sometimes stop rendering, but are restored after teleporting from and then back to the base or reloading. The ones I noticed it happening the most with were Supply Pipe, Electrical Wiring, Save Point and Nutrient Processor
I have tested most of the available base parts. I don't have the base parts from the expeditions, legacy blocks and some of Quicksilver parts. If the part is not in the table, it means that I don't have it and thus didn't test it.
The parts are broken down into the categories they show up in, as in Building Menu. That means that some parts are listed twice since they appear under multiple categories
All of the Timber, Stone, Alloy and Salvaged parts persist, so I didn't make tables for them. All of the tested Freighter Construction parts (glitched in) persist as well. I couldn't test Reinforced Window, Ladder Module and Internal Freighter Wall, since my glitch building skills are not good enough too properly place them =)
I only tested a limited number of decals and posters. Only newer decals persist. None of the posters persist, even the ones from the recent Expeditions
The tests were performed at approximately 1700m height.
Overall, the newer parts are more likely to persist

*Unconnected wire seem to disappear permanently! That might be important for the glitch builders who make extensive use of wires - make sure to remove them immediately after using. Sometimes the connected wires disappear temporarily, but the connection keep functioning
**Solar Panels, Biofuel Reactors and Batteries stop rendering, but continue functioning. If they are connected to the grid, it will continue to receive energy from them.
***Supply Pipes unload so often that I'm reluctant to mark them as persistent. Connections made between depos and extractors keep functioning regardless of their state
****Power Inverter and Auto Switch stop rendering, but continue functioning. Proximity Switch does not work, but it can be replaced with Floor Switch (they operate mostly the same way, at least if you scale it down via universal adjacency glitch) Out of all electrical switches, the only persistent one is Floor Switch. That means that using powered doors in default configurations is inconvenient, and you might opt to build airlocks (see Beeblebum's video) or use non-powered doors.
