Respawned 200km away from last coordinate

[andi9x17]

Friend of mine created a server yesterday. We both repawned pretty close. But today joined the server and I landed like 200km away from my initial spawn place!? Where can I enter coordinates to spawn at my intital spawn point?? Build so much already. Don't want to reset server.

The only way is to kill yourself and respawn at your medical/survival block.
Unless you want to use the admin fly and fly all the way there.

I guess, I am doomed? We haven't established a medical bay yet. And I also the game spawned me with drop pod.

With a Pod? That means you died.
There's enough parts on that Pod to create a good rover to get you there.

not a clue. that would be the only way you would spawn there with a pod.

Easy to die when offline in MP, the game tracks your o2, h2 (if in use), power and health bar. Power runs down and you lost your life support. You can also die if weather is enabled and a lightning strike hit you when off (yes it happens).

Best thing to do is make sure you and your friend are in a faction together. Then quickly build a bunch of large grid scaffold material into a floor and grind out one of the survival kits from the pod and put it on the new base. The small grid and large grid survival kits are almost the same material wise.

With this when you die with both in a faction together you will either:

1. Spawn directly at the nearest spawn point you are aligned too. (if auto spawn is enabled)
2. Have the option to spawn at the survival kit/med bay of choice.

It should also be told that your spawn pod WILL despawn when you log off, so make sure to grind it down before you go offline to keep the material.

Hi, I recommend to disable the "Auto-respawn" if you play with Friends so you can use the respawn screen to respawn where you want to!

Auto-respawn ON = We can't respawn where we want to because it uses the auto options.

Auto-respawn OFF = We can select where we want to respawn.
+
Auto-respawn OFF = We can use Medic Rooms and Survival Kits shared with Faction so all members will see those in the respawn screen to respawn at.

+
Important

We must enter a Cryo chamber before leaving a server, that block was especially made for MP to keep the character position and inventory.

Sorry I made some corrections :

Auto-respawn ON = We can't respawn where we want to

Edited my previous post.

Info +

Auto-respawn option was added epecially to prevent players from using the Medical Room as transport system a bit like a "Teleporter", also because some stranger players could use the shared Medic Rooms to respawn at and destroy other players creations.

-> But no need if you play with friends only.

you dont have to die, lets see, servers usually clean the spawn ships. you have to go to an asteroid, build a merge block on it, and then connect your ship to it, later you grind down the merge and turn your pod into a ship again (merging with asteroid turns it into a station) and fly around the space

[Anvil_Phoenix]

If you can't edit the respawn setting (Server), you can get to the respawn menu by dying/respawning twice in short succession.
Since there is usually a cooldown, the closest point will be invalid for respawning for some time, and it might bring up the spawn menu instead.

it is a multiplayer game?

If yes then you have to log out while in a cryo pod. If you log out and are not in a pod you will stand there and eventually die when the game boots you for inactivity.
I learned them when taking a pause to kook dinner once.

Worth noting also is that other players can come along and dump your body out of the pod.....don't ask how I know this :))))
