Before I got my freighter I salvaged 2 wrecks - picked add to collection then jump back into the previous ship. Since getting the freighter I summoned it but they aren't in the landing area. Do they appear somewhere else or do I need to specifically summon them too while in the landing bay?

You need to warp with the freighter. When you summon it it's just empty.
I guess they forgot to have the 'place ships in docking pay' logic run when summoning it.:shrug:

And then you also have alien monuments where you can learn the location of either a nearby ancient place, ( which'll net you anywhere from 100k - 2,500k units it seems like.) or a whooping 1 word.

To be fair, the language choice does also give you a boost to reputation with that species, and also sometimes teaches you an Atlas word as well. And thanks to Superprocessors, money is zero issue for me so I pick the language option every time now.

They added all this base and freighter stuff but you can't collect multitools like you can collect starships because reasons. They have animated multitool displays ffs let us build those and hang them in our bases.

Hop in a chute from the bridge, land in the cockpit, get blasted out the ship.

And yeah, the freighter technology slots are eerily empty, I'm curious if they'll add a freighter based item teleporter too.

It would be nice if it had a range of a couple thousand units, so that you could just park it in orbit above your base and access it's supplies.
(As it is it right now it absolutely doesn't mind chilling out in the lower atmosphere, hangar bay full of clouds. Hovering above your base like the moon from Majora's Mask. )

I'm looking right at the quest text. It says to construct a Microprocessor. I am also looking at my inventory. The green chip says Microprocessor.

If I remember that quest right, he wants one of these which you do indeed learn from the base researcher at some point.

I remember being stumped by that mission for a while as well, and just putting it off.

Yeah I really wish you could have an armory or something. I keep seeing neat looking weapons that are a higher class than mine but my old save 22 slot B tier weapon isn’t going to be best by a rad looking 5 slot A.

Hell I’d be happy with the ability to have a a primary and secondary so I can play with mods.

I looted the stranger's spaceship instead of repairing the signal beacon, but I think it's too damaged to even auto-warp to my freighter. :v:

I want to use the items in decorations, like the cylinders, but they do not snap to the bottom of the floors. Does an item like this exist?

Is there a trick to finding 30+ slot explorer or fighter ships? I'm seeing a lot of 40+ Haulers, but most explorer or fighter ship seems to be in the <20 range, with a few 20-29.

Or a skin system like a lot of MMOs use. Merge stats of item A with looks of item B.

According to the NMS wiki, they're limited.

Well it turns out the quest text wasn't entirely accurate. He DID want microprocessors. Just not ONE. I bought a bunch in bulk because I was crafting stuff, and then I burned through some facilities and some more scientist quests, hoping he would give me what I needed, and after cycling through my log again and selecting the quest, I saw the gek was finally highlighted. I guess he wanted multiple (no idea how many.) I didn't even notice how many he actually took. But at least that is over with.

One of these abandoned facilities got me 3 million on a bad economy. Just need to find one or two more and I can send a full frigate group because I'm guessing it's just not going to cut it with just one.

I figured out the frigate bug I saw too. Do not answer the hail until you're off-planet. They come to you when hurt and don't fully spawn when they enter atmosphere.

Ah sorry, might have been one of the earlier quests that I just clicked through quickly. There is a later quest from him where for some reason I thought for the longest time that he wanted microprocessors and thought it was bugged, when it turned out he wanted a circuit board when I actually tagged the mission and looked at the tracking text.

Well thanks for the heads up because that is precisely the kind of mistake I was likely to make anyway. Now I know to double check the text when I see that icon next time. I also need to make a habit of selecting missions and looking through my scanner since the log is basically useless.

This might also work for other "I'm supposed to have a quest but I don't" situations, if you're willing to do some experimenting.
