I'm trapped in another person's dead base with no power

[ThriceFive]

I was revisiting my portals all over the galaxy. I have been playing a long time, a billion credits and many many hours of gameplay. The problem is I went to what was a friendly base awhile back and I saved when I got there, because stuff happens I save regularly. I'm stuck inside a massive base with no working exit, my autosave and manual save are both inside the base. The base has no power, I don't have modify permissions, and the player hasn't been back to the base since the power patch. Can't dig my way out, can't walk out and can't add a power unit (I have materials just no build permissions). My ship is frustratingly just outside the base on the landing pad. Are there any saves for me to get back to my frigate or my own home base? Any suggestions of things to try? Thanks! [PROBLEM SOLVED - Go into build menu, and REPORT BASE - this makes the base disappear for you and you are free. Thanks to Chro & Happy Monkey for the solution]

Options:
-Try to get in touch with the player and ask them to help you get out.
-See if a mod that disables power requirements works in that situation.
-Use the Save Editor to change your location.

cant you just report the base and it will disappear?

The autosave occurs when you exit from your ship. What else causes an autosave? (I thought everything else was a manual save?).

Right, that seems a flawed story, there is no mechanic to autosave inside a base.

[japp_02]

The last autosave should be listed nr.2 in the menu because it's older if you did a manual save inside the base, that's the one to load.
And restarting game in single player mode doesn't work? Reload last autosave in SP.

But your autosave will be where you left your ship. How can that be inside the base?

[japp_02]

If reloading saves don't work, then you must use Save Editor.
Load your last save by date in the editor, go in the menu Coordinates, then press Warp/Save button. Your save will be backed up and written again, You will spawn in the system outside of space station after restarting.

This is Fake News. autosave is when you exit your ship, a restart would put you in that spot.

I am open minded. There are lots of bugs in this game. There are also players that exploit bugs in the UI to place parts where they do not normally snap - glitch building techniques.

It does not help the OP, but I now know not to use a save point inside someone else's base, and I'll keep making backups of my NMS save files to zip files.

Only cheating will get you out of this.

But know this: You got yourself into it in the first place!

So, what if someone visits him there? Can we help him? Destroy part of the base to set him free?

[Flaming Orb]

I'm willing to attempt a rescue. Getting stuck in a base instance sounds nightmarish. Hell I hope it's not my base! I've been gone for days. lol

If he cant edit the base, then you wont be able to. Sounds like he needs the builders help or the save editor
