Questions about flame altar vs return beacon

[emitfudd]

I have read multiple articles saying you can respawn after you die at a return beacon as well as the last flame altar you interacted with. I came across a return beacon outside the first cave but I didn't see any prompt to interact with it and after quitting the game and starting again it put me back at the very beginning of the game.

I currently have a flame altar and a decent sized base with some furniture and storage chests at the first base location you are steered to at the beginning of the game. I understand I can place another flame altar somewhere else as it says I have 1 of 2. One question is if I have the option of spawning at EITHER flame altar or just the one I interacted with most recently. It seems like it could be a long trek back to my current base if I died and respawned at a newly placed flame altar.

I would imagine this will be remedied as I progress and perhaps find a spot towards the middle of the map to build a final base. Typically in games of this genre, I tend to head back to base often to store items or expand the base.

So my main question is if there is an option after dying to respawn at the flame altar of my choice.

It is, TTBOMK, the last one you "interacted" with. Runs are not that problematic. With glider and the Spires, you can get back to your body pretty quickly.

You DO want to head back to base often. Refreshing your comfort buff is an integral part of this game. (Plus if you're like me, your backpack is full)

Na but you can fast travel after death to any altar you have, very good system.

Is this only if you die? Can you fast travel between flame altars? That would be perfect.

Yes you can, anytime you desire :)

You can fast travel between all the flame altars you put up and the spires you've unlocked. So say you're about to enter a dangerous cave and don't know what to expect, yet. Best strategy would be to build a flame altar right outside the cave so that, if you die, you can get back there quick by fast-traveling there. Note that there's a limited amount of flame altars you can build in the world, depending on your flame altar level.
