Just booted up the game again after a significant time away and figured I’d try doing something new; building a more robust base rather than something that’s just practical.
Thing is I’m used to searching only on the basis of practicality. So, how do you find nice locations to build something aesthetically pleasing rather than just fit for purpose?
Thanks, I have a rough idea of the kind of place I want it to be but I’m probably going to compromise on it if too many other people have the same idea;
Paradise World or similar low Life Support using world with low/no storms. Area including a dial-gate for checking on interesting places with minimal additional effort and to give me more inclination to put effort into what the place looks like; anyone could dial my base and check it out.
For the most part I have the things I need on this save. I have a Bioship in progress… all the pieces ready just having an issue with the gates that I don’t remember what it was anymore. Regardless I use a Sentinel Interceptor, also S Class, for my primary vessel. Overcharged sentinel cannon shreds just about everything :D
Portals can be found on any planet (I think…maybe not the totally dead planets) so that’s not a problem. Use your Exocraft scanner to locate a Monolith and the Monolith will locate a Portal (make sure you have an artifact for whatever species dominates the system you’re in to pay the toll at the Monolith).
Yeah, Sentinel is best ship, but some people wanna Catch 'Em All.
Oh, and as far as other players visiting, you’re bases will show up at the teleporter to anyone that’s in the Anomaly with you, or in the system with you, but I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for someone to show up. I’ve been playing since day one and I don’t think anyone has visited any of my bases without me taking them there. People tend to visit other’s bases more on Expeditions or one of the highly populated hubs. And if you don’t want people to visit (so they don’t crap up the place with bases or you just want to be alone or whatever), I highly recommend hopping to one of the less-traveled galaxies in the higher numbers. Oh, and galaxies can help you find worlds more easily because they have different properties themselves. https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Galaxy
That page may not be entirely accurate as to which one is which type as I’ve been to them all up to Ogtialabi so far, and some of them didn’t seem to be like they should have been according to the wiki.
