How to get Exocraft Terminal

[Uther]

I have been playing for quite awhile and still haven't received directions on how to get an exocraft terminal.

It's been so long since I built terminals in my base I don't remember where to get them.

Anyone help with this?

Searching and youtube for exocraft comes up with a ton of useless stuff as far as I can see.

That should be the last (IIRC) one you get from the Overseer base missions.

you can buy it in the anomlay now, easy, no need for base.

two ways to get exocraft.
1. do the expanding your base missions, at one point you'll get an exocraft engineer and he'll give you the blueprints for 3 of the 5 exocrafts (nomad, colossus, and roamer)

2. go dig up a bunch of salvage data so you can buy the blue prints from the construction terminal located at the Space Anomaly.

I can't find the blueprint in the construction terminal in the anomaly.

I haven't been given a mission for the EXO terminal yet either and I'm 40 hrs into this. I have NPC's asking me to hire them for the EXO terminal but the option is greyed out and says I need to install the terminal first.

Maybe this save is bad?

Just unlock the geobays with salvaged data in the Nexus/anomaly. they are under the transport section of the construction/base blueprint kiosk. then you can build geobays on planets and summon exocraft. I think once you build a single geobay of any type it unlocks that type of exocraft for your save forever and you can summon them to your location. I havent been able to figure out how to hire people for your base so this is the only way i know how to get exocrafts in beyond

I'll give that a try.

I've hired people usually in the small corridor rooms off the main space station's shopping area.

I know where to go to hire people, but they always say i cant hire them for some reason. maybe its because i dont have any large prefab base parts in my base, i always manually construct custom structures so maybe they wont occupy those.

The mission shows you. Go to space from your base planet. Look at galaxy map. The mission icon will appear in a adjacent systems station were you can find the people to hire.

No, Oatbran was asking about how to unlock the terminals to allow hiring.
Correct answer is: Use base computer.
Every few hours the base computer will give you a blueprint or some other valuable unlockable. One of which is the construction terminal. Once you have that, you will be able to unlock the relevant questline that will also allow unlocking other terminals.
