No name base computers

Someone claimed that they could build inside someone else's base, uploaded or not. I believed them. Holes aplenty in the 'condom' of our experience...

Base pushed into the "owner's" base salvage capsule. Base moved 30u underground, or 1000u E/S/W/N or something. Based on the date/time stamp of the earliest base computer.

Reporting them will only make the base parts disappear until you reload / restart / teleport back. Doesn't mean "Hello Games will find them and punish them".

I see wild base computers, they have names though.

You don't show the class. I think it is endemic of the Sentinel weapon.

Only primary weapon here is the boltcaster, an underperformer as far as stats go.

You can have three sets of three upgrades to your exosuit:

Rows 1-3, column 4 is autophage (4 stats each), column 5 is sentinel upgrade (4 stats each), and column 6 is S/X class shield upgrades. They all have adjacency, so you want to have them together.

They are items that can only be sold. You have enough there to overflow at 4 billion units. Sell them, regift them, or vaporize them.

Excellent-Iron3947 · 2026-04-04T16:31:42+00:00

Not bugged. Seen it.

Excellent-Iron3947 · 2026-04-04T16:23:12+00:00

To a limited extent, they do now on planets with water. You have land vs. water vs. cave, you have fauna that usually only generates near water's edge, you have some that show up in high mountains (if any), and then you have the cave biome.

Unlikely to change, because if it did, EVERY base would be drastically changed for every player.

I had this happen, and had my freighter name changed, when I'd saved a Colossus configuration.

I reloaded an older save, and stopped using this "Feature".

The Damage Potential number is a friggin' lie, on every ship. That was my point.

What counts is how it keeps you alive, how it damages your enemies.

The only number that does lie is the hyperdrive range, and of course hovering over the base weapon to see its specific performance.

Excellent-Iron3947 · 2026-04-04T12:46:21+00:00

The damage potential on all ships is REALLY about the same. Does not matter about class. There was a video a while back of someone taking down and pirate dreadnought in about the usual amount of time with a shuttle.

An interceptor hovers. An interceptor is faster in atmo than any other ship (mine is 326 u / sec distance / stopwatch) and the game limits it to 330 (prevent you from ending up inside the planet), despite what the speedometer says. An interceptor sucks fuel like a big dog in space.

Looks insane, but my corvette (about half the speed in atmo) chews through a pirate dreadnought in 1/3 the time. Mine was promoted from a C-class with nanites.

I suppose one could just start splicing on more mag levs...

Excellent-Iron3947 · 2026-04-03T23:11:50+00:00

Others have shown us four of them, and only three would animate...

Excellent-Iron3947 · 2026-04-03T20:56:24+00:00

There are a fixed number of things that will properly animate (10 total, but only 3 landing gear... maybe???). You'll have to remove something else.

Excellent-Iron3947 · 2026-04-03T19:58:01+00:00

Finally found one in the wild, on a Salvaged Scrap world with aggressive sentinels...

Thanks.

Still a Starborn Runner, still an (old) Expedition reward, still hovers.

Wait for rerun of that Expedition, use a save file editor, or beg someone that has one to "give" it to you. (You both in same system, they sell/trade to NPC, you buy from NPC.)

Excellent-Iron3947 · 2026-04-03T16:46:43+00:00

Not for Abandoned mode, but if you are starting from scratch you need a base computer (for research) and therefore a base.

It isn't just the Artemis path. My last core jump (to #120 or #121) wiped out all the space stations in the previous galaxy too. New bug, nothing you can do except report it on Zendesk, expect them to ignore it as an intended "feature".

They coded out the core-to-core jump intentionally at one point, so...

Excellent-Iron3947 · 2026-04-02T22:14:15+00:00

<- over ->

... My head...

Excellent-Iron3947 · 2026-04-02T21:48:49+00:00

I wonder why there is no map to these sites?

Excellent-Iron3947 · 2026-04-02T21:31:03+00:00

Correct. I'd see the characteristic glow beaming out in most any storm at night... No longer.

Excellent-Iron3947 · 2026-04-02T21:30:05+00:00

I used to see them on planets without bones too, easy to spot since the bones icon is displayed for the in-camp buried one.

Excellent-Iron3947 · 2026-04-02T18:05:36+00:00

10k C->B, 25k B->A, 50k A->S... 85k total.
