I just started a few weeks ago and had about 70 hours in. I know it’s not a ton but I was very invested in the region I started, exploring all of the systems around me and building up my base and wealth. I had a few adorable pets I loved, a coupe S class ships nearly fully upgraded, my exosuit was almost maxed out, I got a free S class freighter, I had about 300m saved.

I was playing with a permadeath save to see what it was like and after experimenting I decided I wanted to try one with serious effort, so I backed out and immediately deleted the second save file thinking they were put in order and not by most recent. My heart sank and I exited the game immediately, deleted local save data and restarted, but it was still gone.

Just needed to share my devastation.

On the bright side my girl just started, so I’m gonna start fresh with her. I can apply what I learned to try and help it not be as confusing for us in the beginning 🙂

So i am 13.7 hours into the game, and recently found out about terrain regeneration. I was devastated, i already found a planet that i feel like settling in, but this terrain regeneration gonna eat my base if i don’t come back in a day or two. I don’t want to devote so much of my time building a base if it’s gonna be ruined by some terrain regeneration.

So, my plan right now is probably buy the damn expensive freighter and build a base inside , where nothing can get to me. But it will take me forever just to farm these damn units. Please give me suggestion guys, i really love base building, but i dont want to get it ruined

I’ve seen with the 4.0 update and now the redux expeditions, along with quite a few posts that a lot of players are stressed about what they HAVE to get or do.

Don’t be a completionist. You don’t need the “best” freighter, ship, multi tool, or anything else. Just do what you want. Get the first freighter that’s free of it looks cool to you. Use a subpar multi tool because it does what you need. Build a lame 4 room base. It’s OK.

This whole game revolves around a story of repeated failing simulations in which the actions of those within really don’t matter. That gives you the freedom to do whatever you want. Don’t hamper your fun with obsessively reloading saves to get the “right” ship or freighter, just get what you want. Don’t stress about missing out on an expedition, all the rewards are pixels on a screen.

This isn’t against the completionist players or the min-maxers. If that’s what you WANT to do, I just see too many posts of people asking if they should do this or that, and you need to know this-

In a universe of infinite possibilities, all of them are correct. Have fun – don’t complete goals.
