Outpost just disappears

[lalala]

Its shown I have outpost on the planet but its not there. Not even when I land where I landed before building it.

Mine just vanished too.

Did you move your base core? I found mine after hour of searching. It was not there on the map. I moved the core by 5m from initial place and it appears that broke the system. I've moved it back by the 5m and it appeared back on the map.

Same issue. I replaced my beacon in the original position and the outpost is back.. It's so badly placed tho. Lot's of running to get to workbench now etc..

The crazy about it is that you probably don't check the map and realize it much later when you want to come back. And depending on how far away from landing spot you've built it might take time to find it, provided your landing spot is still marked. It appears the game also only remembers so much and if you landed in many other places might get deleted. What the game also does, and contributed me to not finding my post is grouping landing locations together after the fact:

I landed on two different spots, which on the planet map (not surface map!) where initially shown in different locations and there were also different resources. The icon was displayed in different places. When I wanted to go back, I had two landing spot icons on the same place and I thought its both the same. I was confused why suddenly there are the resources of the first landing (I recall it was silver and lead, the proper one had alk and iron). So I recalled I landed before more to the north-eath and tried to land there again and find the post with no success. Then I tried to click the second icon on the same spot with silver and it turned out to be another landing location that previously was a good distance to north east...

After I got my outpost back, the game ♥♥♥♥♥♥ me with another 3 bugs, starting from unusable benches regardless where they are placed, to the game thinking inside of buildings is outside and vice-versa and many more.

It just works

I move all of my beacons after I get my layouts set up. With this one base though I cannot find it. The landing site and everything from that area were gone. The planet icon is still there, my limit is still counting it but I cannot for the life of me find it.

I cant believe in a game of so many menus we didnt get an outpost menu with every outpost listed for quick traveling to and fro.

Yeah the degree at which its deliver is abysmal. Though regarding beacons: I did not move it outside of its initial range, I thought maybe that is the problem. It was just like 5m from previous location. What I've noticed is, that the radius display was somehow broken, like a straight line going halfing the circle and I had to basically move the beacon past this line. The line didn't make any sense after long deep thinking and testing. It guess something is broken with the calculation and the game things the beacon is outside base and not part of it, so you can not teleport to it and that is what is shown on the map.

It might not help with the one you've already lost (and can't find back again?), but with new one: I could test if the new position is valid, because when I've opened the map, it was gone, when I closed the map, moved the beacon to a spot back and it appeared on the map back again. I assume you can test the validity of the location before you leave. Though maybe it only works AFTER the bug was triggered once, since it was a settlement I lost and had to find back again and I've tested it AFTERWARDS. So no guarantees

You mean the outpost edit screen?

When within the outpost range, if you open the scanner and hit the 'place outpost,' button it launches the build menu.

[lalala]

there is no place outpost button when you are in range of an outpost, its replaced with build button, but not sure how this is related to beacon placement and the settlement not being shown on the map when moving it.

That's a restricted area. Never move over the straight lines. Things will not work. Learned from experience.

[lalala]

Yeah but it goes arbitrary through the middle of my settlement.

Ive noticed on one of my bases where my ship refuses to land on the large landing pad that there is a red box corner visible in build mode, partially going thru my landing pad. Looks to me like a "restricted" area generated by my ship landing kinda by the base. Even though I select the actual base to land at, which has the large landing pad, it still always lands at the close "landing site." Ive done the trick of landing at several other locations to clear the one close to said base but my ship still always just generates a new landing site close that base.

We need a way to clear old landing sites, or the game should let outpost boundaries trump landing site boundaries. Or both.
