Talk about feeling absolutely stupid and crushed.

I have spent countless hours working on my main file to build with my dad. I was in a really good spot, enough units to cover any needs. My dad and I even shared the same planet. I was trophy hunting on a second file but did it wrong. I went to delete it. Y’all probably know where this is headed.

I deleted the wrong file.

 And I have no one to blame but myself. 

I will admit. I am sobbing. I worked so hard to be in a good place for my dad to be practically carefree. Now all of that is gone.

I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to move things forward quickly( getting upgrades, nanites, and units). It really hurts, but I have no one to blame but myself. I don’t even know if I should tell my dad. I feel so incredibly guilty.

I’m trying to build a stasis farm and would like to have all the gases in the same system. I have 2 questions :

1. How many bases can I have on a planet so other people see them?

2. Is there a maximum I can have in a system so other people can see them?

You can also drop a quick tip!

Tip #1: Always try to multitask. Too many new players seem to be hyper focused on farming for something rather than enjoying the game. You’ll get tons of units and nanites as you play. Always try to be doing multiple things. Pick up the portable refiner so you can refine something from your inventory while exploring and mining.

Tip #2: Avoid multiplayer until unlocking the anomaly, can be stranded if not.

Q- “I was on the Anomaly and a bunch of expensive stuff showed up in my inventory. What do I do with it?

A:” Congrats! Another player has bestowed you with a gift. Most likely it is an item to sell for some quick and easy cash, unless it is some form of egg (companion eggs for pets, void eggs to begin a quest for a living ship). Usually the item description will tell you what it is used for.

Q: “Help, I claimed a broken ship and now I can’t find my starter ship! Is it gone forever?”

A:” If you merely selected to “claim” the broken ship and not “swap” it, then your old ship is still around. If you left it with launch fuel in the tank, you can summon it with the quick-menu (if you select the summon icon, you can find current ship, exocraft, freighter and other ships). If it does not have fuel, it can be summoned on the Anomaly (once you unlock it), your freighter (once you acquire one), or it will magically show up in the space station if you decide to scrap the new ship.”

Q- “Are crashed ships worth repairing?”

A-” Unless it is an exotic, no. Scrap the ship at the space station, sell the items it gives you, and use those units to buy a better, working version of a ship in that system.

Q- “Any advice for new players?”

A-“For new players, make sure you read the guide in-game. It’s an excellent beginner’s guide for traveling, learning about the alien races, building, and etc. Take a look over the catalogue of items too. It’ll come in handy when you need to learn how to craft materials. Turn off pvp. Also, I’d strongly suggest mining a massive amount of carbon, oxygen, and sodium. These three items will be some of your most used and critical items in the game.
