How to restore the escape pod? Sub escapepod not working

[Cadu]

The pod started drifting away. After I built the fabricator in my base, I stopped worrying and turned of the ping por the pod.
Until yesterday I died, and spawned inside the pod, 14000 meters away from the base...
I had to use the console to warp back.
I saw there was a command for making the pod teleport to your position, but it doesn't work. I tried in a different save file and it worked, so I guess it's not working due to the distance.
Honestly, I don't care about the pod, but I need to have a spawn point in a viable distance in case I die again. So, any solutions?

If you have a base and are entering it that base should become your new spawn point I believe.

In the future to avoid this kind of stuff again make sure you repair your lifepod. That will make it not drift away.

Yes, I have the base and it didn't became the spawn point.
The pod was repaired in the very beginning of the game. It drifted away repaired, so I guess it's not related to repairing it.

You had a bug. The lifepod has something called I believe a "gravity anchor" that keeps it in place after its repaired.

I've had that bug in one of my saves. Repaired pod just kept drifting. I paid it no mind after I built my 1st little base then eventually deleted that save. Didn't go very far with it anyway.

wow that's weird, didn't know that was a thing. bug indeed!

Any solutions? Does anybody know if you can restore the position of the escapepod, without using the console? Maybe messing around with some files?
I had a bug in the aurora where the doors disappeared so I had to clear the cache, and even after clearing, the lifepod is still kilometers away

For some reason the game will occasionally "unrepair" the lifepod, which removes the anchor it has and causes it to drift until it's repaired again.

If the console command "randomstart" didn't bring the lifepod back to the map, then you might just need to spawn a new one with the "sub escapepod" command.

Edit: I didn't even read the damn title, you've already tried sub escapepod. Well, you're boned if randomstart doesn't work then.

Yeah its very strange how things that float tend to move.

Hey, that actually fixed it! Thanks man, you're the best
