Only one terminal per base...

[Thors]

So my mission tells me to build a Scientist Terminal, but when I am trying to build it, it says only one terminal per base.. I allready have construction terminal but also need a scientist one.. So do I need to build a new base to do that or is it an bug? Tried to build 2 separate large structures too..

You can have one terminal of each kind at your base. I have never run into not being able to build one unless I already had the same terminal already.

I always put just one specialist terminal per large cylindrical room. I don't know if you have to do it that way or not. It still worked for me a few days ago (in exp version).

When you select a terminal to build, are you switching to the correct terminal?
It can be difficult to read sometimes in close quarters with it projecting to so many different places.

Will try again today guys, Thanks :)

Another possibility is that you accidentally built one somewhere on the terrain. Accidentally building things is common since the build menus are so cumbersome and slightly buggy. If you point off in the distance by accident and pressed the build key, this can even happen if the key bounces, and you have accidentally built a scientist station off in the hills around your base. It may be tough to find if you suspect you did that, so it may be easier just to delete and rebuild the base. I did that once and it took 20 mins to find the misplaced build item because it was behind a rock somewhere.

Can you do that with terminals? They used to be buildable inside ONLY. They even needed their own room!

FYI: You can put up to four terminals in one of the standard circular rooms - the game will snap the terminal to an appropriate spot.

That still leaves space for doors and corridors.

I know you can put multiple specialist terminals in the cuboid rooms..just need room to fit them.

Found it now, was placed in the terrain :P
