All the objects and specialists in my base are floating off the floor slightly

If the game is telling me that my home base computer is the one I have to go to for the base archives mission, and puts a red base icon on it, does it matter towards the new permanent base that I'm making?

Building around a shelter in place seemed a good idea but now I kinda feel suffocated. The solution may be to put more coloured lights all over everything. Only one way to find out.

So I'm a bit ambitious with base building and like to get clever with certain things. I discovered that the floor panels you can build individually will automatically flatten out an area quite nicely. So you can use it to "carve" a nice area for a base, or use it to build a base nicely into the terrain. Or so I thought. Turns out, by bug or by design, there are a limited number of these edits you can make in a given save, period. After which panels will simply be built into terrain and stop auto-forming the terrain around them. This limit appears to be permanent. I've tried terraforming the area "back" after removing the panels. I've tried other bases, planets, systems. It seems to be coded into your save. Fortunately, for now at least, the terrain manipulator still works and the "prefab" rooms still carve out the space they need. Unfortunately, I'd only discovered this well into building my base, so now I have an ugly, half-finished section of my base that's kinda ruining the vibe for me. Oh well, honestly wasn't digging what'd I'd done with the panels anyway, might just use what I've learned and start over somewhere else. I feel like prefabs work better with my classic "moon-base/mars colony" aesthetic I had in my head about a space base anyway. td:dr You can use floor panels to nicely carve out flat terrain, but there may be an arbitrary, permanent limit to the number of times you can do so. Edit: Cuboid rooms also stopped carving out space. Viperix fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Aug 13, 2018 |

Seems to me the obvious solution to this would to layer foundations and floor panels over each other until the ground stays flat because all of the terrain is under your foundation.

ToastyPotato posted:Lush/nice planets seem to have the most buried tech modules, so if you want to grind up salvage tech to unlock base parts, you might want to find one of those. Is selling these among the best way to get money early on too? I found like 25 or something in 2 hours, sold em for a million credits, seems way better than any other activity I've tried thus far.

I found like 25 or something in 2 hours, sold em for a million credits, seems way better than any other activity I've tried thus far. Probably not the best way to get credits. But definitely wouldn't hurt if you already unlocked everything from your blueprint machine. If you wanted insane bursts of income early on, I would invest in warping to as many systems as possible, collecting as many quests as you can, and doing them all, while scanning everything you can along the way (assuming you managed to grab S class scanner mods.) Combining that with treasure hunting and you can make much more than 1 million in 2 hours. Several times more if you have all three scanner upgrades.

Good to know. I am just at the quest to build my hyperdrive, then it'll be time to look around for better gear, my starting system is pretty damned empty. Is there only ever one spaceport per system, or should I look around harder? Why oh why is there not a system map at least...

Only one per system. Except for the weird dead systems that have the empty station.

CarlCX posted:I appear to have run into a bug in which the final mission given by your base armorer keeps resetting itself instead of tracking your progress and none of the fixes I have seen have budged it at all, and even though it's a completely unimportant side mission and all I would get for finishing it is some nanites, it's bugging me so profoundly I don't want to play more of the game because it's all I can focus on.

Bullfrog posted:All the objects and specialists in my base are floating off the floor slightly  One of my frigates is bugged, I can't debrief the captain w/o getting "inventory full" BS even though I made sure to clean it out (unless that particular mission paid off over a dozen slots worth of poo poo). Which means I had to build another stupid terminal just so I could sent out another frigate

It's weird that the v3 pass will open v2 locks, but neither the v2 nor the v3 will work on v1 stuff.

Yeah, I thought that was it at first, but nope. Thus far, in aggregate from all the bugposts and attempted solutions I've seen, I have tried:

Ammonia is almost always just a secondary item from plants on toxic planets. Your best bet is to find a system that happens to sell it at the station and buy in bulk. Or get enough that you can fluff it up infinitely with enough oxygen. It turns out that the exotic ship with the huge vertical fins clips into the customizable area in your frigate, which may get awkward if it ends up blocking off a hallway you built.

If you have 2 screens, use the windows snipping tool. alt-tab out, hit new snip, select the snip you want, then go to the imgur uploader and hit CTRL+V you don't have to save the pic or anything, just doing the snip saves it into your clipboard, and it can be pasted straight onto imgur's uploader. If you own the game through steam, you can also use steam's screenshot utility

LOL, I found a planet that alternates between freezing cold and boiling storms every few minutes. It’s impossible to see anything because it’s also dusty as hell, and the dust makes the entire planet 10 FPS. If you have a worse planet than this, I’d like to hear about it Oh, and the Po Po Will immediately attack you on sight Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Aug 14, 2018 |

Just curious since I'm not completely done with the blueprint analyzer. Is there a way to put a hole in the ceiling/floor between 2 floors of a building and _not_ have a ladder there? Climbing a ladder is just so much slower than using a jetpack to get up a hole.

Since someone asked earlier, but mentioned it in connection with a bug, can I deconstruct my different terminals (along with their overseer/scientist/mad weapons dude), reconstruct them on a different planet, and not lose the base mission progress? I cannot, for the life of me, find a scorched planet to find solanium for the refiner-unlock from the overseer, and figured I'd just rebuild entirely on a different base before getting serious about refining.

I don’t know about a different planet but I accidentally deleted my co structure terminal and when I rebuilt it the dude just appeared along with it.
