Someone built on my base!

[DrakeNate]

I have a base up on a hill, a very short distance from my base terminal. I have been slowly building and adding terminals as part of the game progression. But today when I played the game, there was suddenly another players base right near my base terminal! How can this happen? I did upload my base at one point, but I never set anything to allow editing of my base. I’m not even playing multiplayer. I’m just shocked to find a new neighbor!

Anyone know what I need to do so this doesn’t happen again? I plan on building my real base soon, and once I start, I don’t want to find my building opportunities cramped because I have a squatter on my property. I appreciate any help.

Make sure you go into the multiplayer settings menu and turn off letting other players modify your base and terrain around it or you can have people really ruin your day.

So it's enabled on default?

[Solistis]

yes

That's awful! I remembered discussions here about the same topic and I was pretty sure people were wondering why it wasn't disable instead... 🤷‍♂️

Is it a base without a computer? -> PC player removed build restrictions.
Is it a base computer from a console player? -> eventually both merged after the crossplay update.
Do you give free stuff in the nexus to random players? -> Eventually you offended one and they went to your base through the portal to mess it up.

ur either extremely lucky or unlucky

I did not know that! Thank you - and thanks for the info before I really made something!

That setting doesn't allow people to build on another persons base.

There are ways to do this that, unfortunately, you can't do anything to stop. The best you can do is report the base so it disappears from your view.

Not in itself, but it gives means to build inside someone's base without being identifiable.

Are you sure? My understanding and experience with this setting is that it only affects the complexity of your own bases as does not affect any other player.

Not talking about in-game options, if that's what you suggest, but from the tkgraphic file. In combination with wire-glitching that bypasses base edit restrictions, it is possible to easily build inside someone's base without using a base computer to do so.

Yep. That's what I'm talking about as I have "RemoveBaseBuildingRestrictions = true" set so that I can use all base objects on my freighter. I haven't seen it affect other players bases though.

You might try deleting your base computer to see what happens to the squatter.

In a previous long ago version I had a base near a trading post that I decided to delete.
When I did that it deleted the trading post as well!

Fun times.
