Delete a base

[largegroh]

I want to delete a base to move it to different place on planet. Can this be done and if yes how?

Never done it myself, but use the save editor. Make a save copy of your base, then relocate your base computer to where you want and restore base with the editor. Others can provide better details than I can. GL!

bah. so other than using save editor there is no way?? sigh..that sucks.

You can delete the base in the Base Computer, and the mats ends up in Base Salvage Capsule.


from gamepedia.

>When a base is deleted via the Base Computer, any raw materials used in its construction will be retrievable from the Base Salvage Capsule.
>It can be crafted on a freighter or inside a base.
>It is not needed prior to deleting an old base in order for the materials to be refunded, it simply allows the player to retrieve the refunded materials.



And later you rebuild the base in the new location, lol.


ps.
But you can have many bases, 5 per planet.
So If you think you need to delete it to build new base, not necessary.

What about a base setup on freighter? If you trade freighters does the old base mat's go into the salvage capsule?

I may want to experiment.!!!

Perhaps I misunderstood, but from the OP I inferred that the question was to move an intact base without the demo-reconstruction part. So if the former is correct, then that is the only way that I am aware of. Otherwise it's the latter.

I deleted a base when Next first came out. Even though I deleted the base computer...it still showed up on my list of bases and I could see the icon on the planet.

In my case, I had given up on resurrecting my pre-Next base, and got the mission to do that right after I placed a circular room. Since I had barely got started, decided to delete it.

Not sure if they have worked the "still shows up" bug, but you can functionally delete a base. Unless you have a real good reason, usually better to leave it and just build a new base.

Using the Save Editor bases are saved to a file that can be assigned to any base computer.
