Space Stations disappearing from portal list

[Jaggid Edje]

Two space stations which I visited recently are no longer available for me to portal to; they have vanished completely from the list.

I know there's a limit but I'm no where close to it, I had only a total of 16 stations visited so far in this save (14 now available on the portal list). I did switch galaxies, at the end of the expedition, but all of the other stations from that other galaxy are still showing up in my list.

Can anyone explain why those two would have vanished?

I had this in the latest Expedition too.. sort of.
As I progressed some stations no longer showed as options in the Transporter list tho if I travelled back to one of the other previous stations then the other "missing" stations showed up as option from there.
Maybe they've introduced a distance or using junction points now to require you to travel through some points to get to others ?

Thanks that made me chuckle…. and if you’re asking such a question you’re still a new star forming in the NMS galaxy*….

Have fun & stay safe out there Traveller 🖖

*(It means you’re a noob, jesh can no one read between the lines, pick up on my ‘warped’ sense of humor?).

@Geldric, I have played probably close to 1000 hours in the game....Steam reports 400, but I've played more with steam offline then online, and it does not track offline hours.

I think it's a valid question, considering the two stations that vanished are the the last two stations I both discovered and visited in the last galaxy, whereas 7 other stations from that galaxy which I had discovered and visited earlier than them are still available.

Or are you saying only a noob would ponder and wonder about baffling things happening because it's just "to be expected"?

[Geldric™]

Easy does it... feathers should not be ruffled and I was poking fun at the perpetual state of NMS "bugginess" hence my comment... def nothing to see here and I wish you all the best on your bug/glitch quest.

[Jaggid Edje]

@Geldric, Okay, that's fair. My last sentence alluded to the fact that I almost kind of figured out that might be what you meant lol

At first I thought you were poking fun at me not knowing something that "everyone who plays knows"...

I travelled through the first 10 galaxies and visited at least one or two space station in every of these galaxies (much more in Euclid and Eissentam). Yesterday I wanted to warp back to a station in Hesperius Dimension - just to realize that the entries from space stations in about 4 galaxies have vanished. So yesterday I went back to 3 of these galaxies through the galactic core.
But know it crossed my mind that there would be a limit to the entries in the teleporter list.

So currently i have 90 entries (21 bases and 69 space stations). So it looks like that there may be a total of 10 pages (9 entries per page).

Can somebody who really know about the limits confirm that there is a limit of 90 entries (10 pages)? Or explain how the teleporter list exactly works.

I prefer factual comments, useless ones don't help.

10 pages always was the limit, yes.
They made it easier, though, by filtering now so that you can have more bases and teleporters to appear in the list. But ten pages per filter, yes.

It is only last visited stations in the list. But maybe these two just been renamed by users that own that discoveries?

Interesting theory.
They were the last two systems I visited right at the end of the expedition. I'm pretty sure one of them was the final expedition goal, and those systems, if I remember right, all were considered discovered by "Hello Games".

Thank you @SaD-82. I didn't know about this limit. So I have to reconsider how I manage my bases. I don't understand Hello Game's concept. There are 256 galaxies, one can have max of 200 bases (not even one in every galaxy), but via teleporter you can only travel to a max of 90 of your bases.
I have only visited 10 galaxies so far, but have already lost direct access to a few of them. For me this seems to be a bit of annoying.

You say these space stations have 'vanished' from your list, meaning they were in the list before, is this exact? If so I cannot tell you what's wrong, but If they were not in the list although you were in that system it means you haven't put your feet in the space station yet (exit your ship in the space station), which is required to save it in the list. That's true for normal gameplay, but in Expeditions special rules apply which are different from normal SP or MP games, and these rules can even change in different expeditions, that means: in Expeditions you have to play with what you get.

[Jaggid Edje]

Yes sir, @japp_02, they were originally in the teleporter list. Heck, I'd teleported to one of them as recently as a few hours before it vanished from the teleporter list.

I keep a record of noteable items for sale at space stations which I visit, including what S-Class upgrades are for sale as well as less common galactic trade terminal items which I may buy. That's the only reason I noticed they were missing....I had checked my list for stations that sell some upgrades I wanted to go buy.

I see, I cannot tell what's wrong. You didn't change the filter in the menu? That would hide some stations.

The only time when I heard of vanishing space stations in the list in new galaxies was some years ago when several people reported about it. And everytime it had something to do with jumping back into an old galaxy (by either station teleporters or the Anomaly).
Unless you didn't go back to a previous galaxy this sounds like the exact same bug that should have been fixed a long time ago.
Maybe reintroduced? Maybe a new one?

And can you start a new save, speed up the progress of changing galaxies and see if the same occurs?
Unless other people will jump into this thread and tell that they have the exact same bug, that is. Just to be sure that it's something consistent or if it's just this save that got f'ed up.

On a side note: Those stations you did visit in your normal gamemode or did you have a multiplayer session going at this point?

[Jaggid Edje]

@SaD-82, I did jump back to the old galaxy several times before it happened, so it could be related to that.

As for multiplayer, I was in and out of multiplayer a few times in the 24 hours before it happened. I normally play with multiplayer disabled, but had toggled it on to do some Nexus missions, then back off after. Pretty much how I always have played.

I'm not going to start a new save to see if I could duplicate the issue, more bother than it's worth (to me). And it could just be something mucked up on this save.
It's an expedition save, but then I went offline and set my computer time ahead to end the expedition early so I could start getting the missions related to base computer and the various terminals....I want to keep playing this save and there are some recipes that you can't get any other way so I was impatient....and I'm sure that could muck things up after I went back online.
