Is there a way I can put a claw tub like pic related on something it can overflow into? What kind of flooring or whatever would I need to put beneath it?

Just treat it like a shower. Standard water proof tile flooring with tiled wall, grate in the floor with a shower drain.

you do know that the tub has an overflow drain, right?

That doesn't negate the fact that I want it to be able to overflow without damaging anything.
Wet room the bathroom or part of it.
bamboo is what you want. Also you need to make a large shower pan for the water to escape into a modified drain that also lets it drain from the tub.

Quick paint dwg but you get the idea.

You could put it in a giant drain pan, but that would be a trip hazard

that looks like the bathtub will slide downward making it unlevel unless you put notches into the floor for the claw feet, or secure it in some other way.

personally, i'd build a tiled in section with raised ledges around the floor drain, and put the tub into that. you're going to have to be mindful, though, as to how much weight your subfloor can bear in this area. if it's on the second floor or higher you're going to have to reinforce the fuck out of your floor.

Doesn't need a drain pan. Just needs to be surrounded by drains and walls. The drains can be level with the floor (with a bit of work).

>i like plugging up the overflow drain so I can completely submerge myself and pretend I'm a submarine but when I do the water all pours out the edge. Please help /diy/!
That's what you sound like

Put it in an enclosure for a roll-in shower with a trough drain.
