Did I miss the Sunbeam events?

[[DT] GoblinKing]

After I got the first initial message from the Sunbeam, I deconstructed the radio because I didn't want the event to progress.

However now that I built the radio again, I'm not getting any message from the Sunbeam, even days later.

Did I accidentally skip the whole Sunbeam event?

Nope, you have to answer the radio to make those events happen.

Eventually they'll come back

Just give it some time, it usually takes a while, but at long as you don't hear the radio, nothing will happen

You can skip it till the end, I think it will trigger an alternative ending to the sunbeam

Sadly, the Sunbeam has but one fate. Even If you disable the platform, it still gets destroyed. Personally tested it.

Poor sunbeam, wish the developers made it possible to save them

You technically can.
But you basically have to disable the gun before you start opening any radio messages at all.

I've gotten the event where the Sunbeam says they can't land due to the debris.
And they just leave you after coming all that way.
It's rather off putting.

IIRC, that used to be a thing, but no longer is. I wanted to try and save the Sunbeam, so I ignored the radio until I disabled the platform. Afterwards, I answered their calls, they started coming in for a landing, and the disabled platform proceeded to ignore the fact that it was disabled and shot them down anyway.

If that changed, it must have been done in an update after full release.

This was streamed just last Saturday.
I've got the video started on the moment the event starts and the Sunbeam tells you they can't land.

In this play-through, the streamer disabled the gun platform before getting any Radio messages.
This time around, there was no count-down and no beacon to send you to the island.

So it's still possible to save the Sunbeam.

I ended up getting the second message, about 40 days after the first lol.
