Exocraft summoning station Vs Sentinel Minotaur

[Kirshak]

hey guys,

I have an issue with my exocraft summoning station. I can summon all the other vehicles I have unlocked with it, however, multiple time it will deny the sentinel Minotaur saying I haven't unlocked it yet.

I have to use the Minotaur platform in order to summon it

You must have the specific summonig stations built somewhere (I usually have a base for that), then you can use the generic summon station or the freighter to summon exocraft who have their geobay built.
The generic one, after the exocraft has been deployed, can be picked up. The exocraft will remain available anywhere on that planet

[Paddy]

It requires you have one built all the time somewere for any exocraft to be summoned. Even the freighter one needs this. Are you sure you have one at any of your base's (can be in any galaxy). If you can call it from a freighter then you will and it's bugged. Otherwise you may need to put one at a base and leave it then you should be able to use summoning station and freighter one anywhere.

Isn't that the summoning room in the freighter's job to send your exocraft where ever you want? I thought you had to have that room in your freighter to be able to summon any exo's from your menu

[wkitty42]

the summoning room on the freighter simply allows you to summon any of your exocraft while you are on any planet in a system and your freighter is in the same system... if you are in another system, the summoning room on the freighter has no effect and you need to use a summoning station for the specific craft or the generic summoning station that looks like a radar dish unit...

Step #1: Build one geobay. Do not destroy it. Give your 'mech a coat of paint if you like.

Step #2: Craft a summoning station, then pick it up OR build the OEM in your freighter.

Step #3: That's it. You're done.


You do not need a base. You do not need to carry the parts for a geobay around with you.

Footnote: the hyperdrive upgrades that permit your freighter access to red, green and blue star systems will also need to be unlocked if you go for the second option. The alternative is to keep a summoning station in your pocket much as you already do with your save point(s).

I must be missing something, I did what you said and made a summoning station for the Minotaur, changed it's colouring, went to my freighter, dismantle then rebuild my summoning room, went back on the planet to take the Minotaur summoning station.

It's working if I am in the same solar system, I can summon the Minotaur an every single planets. However, as soon as I jump to a new solar system (note that my freighter is able to jump and is present in my current solar system) I cannot summon the Minotaur anymore. I think I am halfway there because I can summon my Pilgrim even tho I haven't touched it since probably last year as it's a rather old savegame that I'm messing with.

I even went to the Anomaly to buy the Roamer but I cannot summon it either

You dont take the minotaur summoning station you leave that at the base (must have one geobay for each exocraft built somewhere to be able to summon them.). Then you build the one that looks like a radar dish and take that one with you, if you walk up to it, there is the option to pick it up like a portable refiner.

[Kitet]

Are you saying you can itemize an already built planetary summoning station as opposed to deconstructing it?

[taniwhat]

You need a minotaur station somewhere in the multiverse.

You need the freighter and the freighter summoning station - NOT the planetary one.

[Paddy]

yes the planetary summoning station now works anywere not just in the system,

1 build geobays at any base in any of the 255 usable galaxies.
2 go to any other system or galaxy and place a planetery summoning station and summon exocraft.
3 pic up planetery summoning station and its stored in your backpack.
you dont even need a freighter now to do it as of sentinels update

from sentinels update 3.80.
The Exocraft Summoning station can now be picked up and carried around in the Exosuit inventory.

and it does work i do it all the time. they changed it as of 3.80 and you only need to place it once, summon exocrat, then pic it up and you can use all exocraft like the freighter summoning one without the freighter in the system or without a owning a freighter. You now have both options.

so either use a planetery summoning station each system of call your freighter each system up to you

[Kirshak]

That did it, I went to my base, built all the summoning exocraft I need. And now I can summon them anywhere, thanks guys
