I honestly don’t understand the appeal of ruining such a chill game.

You spend hours building a base, something you think would be fun and interesting for other players to visit, and then POW— you log in for another session and some crotchmonkey has built his weak prefab base right in the middle of yours. Twice now.

Apparently the trick they use is setting up their base juuust outside yours, and building into it.I’ll probably get in trouble for leaving this appropriate message next the their base computer, but whatever– my base is ruined anyway.

An update would be nice, Hello Games.

If anyone is interested, some systems spawn pirate freighters every time you warp in, seen all classes. Found 3 near each other in Euclid, one gek, one vykeen, one korvax so you can just hop between them till you find what you want. Saving and reloading not needed, they appear right in front of you. Take the engines out first so they can’t escape, then guns, shields generators, fuel rods, take your pick. When they surrender land on board and have a look, if you like it keep it, if not you can ransom it or destroy it for hefty rewards and just warp straight to the next. The glyphs are the vykeen one, the map shows the other two. Hope this is helpful. Happy hunting 👍

I find the building system in No Mans Sky is generally pretty good. A bit shonky with pieces suddenly snapping to a different location as you build them. Generally fine though and not too annoying.

Half ramps and small panels though. What the hell went wrong? They don’t snap to anything, they don’t rotate properly, they only snap in stupid orientations (see picture). I’m aware free placement exists but I don’t get why the auto-snapping was released in such an absolute garbage state. Feels like they are so buggy and next to unusable. Makes me rage.

Anyone else or just me?

Edit: Actually add picture

Testing the limits of how complex I can make my freighter base before I get irretrievably lost or my processor explodes. I’ve got the “bones” constructed. Next up, filling in some of the spaces.
