Is a listing outpost that's, of course, not friendly.

[Capt Fuzzy]

Damn, that things got shields?

[Jack Schitt]

I think it's some kind of Safe Zone, but yeah...and it looks cool it spins around the structure.

Hi Jack Schitt,

looks like the Factorum have Trade stations !?

That tells me there is a way the be allied to use their Store.

That's my thought too since the entity list said "Factorum Listing Outpost".

I spectated through the inside. They put it together really well.

[ShadedMJ]

I "saw" one of those too. "Saw" meaning I was in spectator mode because they were 2700km away when they spawned.

I just created a brand new SS world, spawned on Earth like and first thing I see is Prototech block to loot in space that spawned at 2400Km of where I started :

I also noticed new encounter options in advanced world settings on creating new and I just used the default settings for my first testing.

EDIT
Went their using spectator mode and it's close to Triton planet :

+ We can add more encounters from advanced world settings.

[Dan2D3D]

Oh! and the F5 trick to respawn at another area was not working so I had to kill my character +10 times to respawn at a ice lake having Gold.

Edit
= Why you see a lot of respawn ship signals in my screnshot ;)

We started an alien world.

one spawned 4900 km above us.

[Dan2D3D]

Oh! 4900 km!
They told the community that far away Station with Prototech Block to recover may get deleted when not visited but will respawn at another area.

So far it's Jack Schitt's find that is completely new, so not found yet and not seen on videos.

I got a Factorum Logistics Facility in orbit of the Alien Planet, and I operate from the Earth-like, over 5300km. Self destruct activated on arrival. Multiple ships and satellites defending, some have railguns.

[Dan2D3D]

Cool!
Looks like there is a lot to find, I also found a station with Warheads hidden inside its walls ;)

[ShadedMJ]

I'm concerned prototech is not viable in survival mode. Sure you see prototech at 5000km away, but in survival you have to make a ship, get it going, probably invest in a jump drive, go there probably get prototech scrap. I don't see survival mode being able to use the Factorum drill or refinery because by that time you should have plenty of ingots made up. Lot of investment but not a lot of reward in survival mode.

Edit after tenohol : I think Factorum spawn in one group and stay in game and don't despawn.

[tenohol]

since i am not rdy to poke the factorum yet, i let timer ran out.... game crashes every time it despawns. bummer...
