Regrowing Terrain on Base.

[Reshi84]

Hi Emm I have a problem. The terrain is growing back on my base. I am talkong about mountain in the structure, plants growing throu the structures. It is so annoing. Do you have any idea how to solve this.

[Pickleton+]

No, it's been an issue for awhile now. IIRC, it has something to do with making sure the planet doesn't run out of resources. Sorry

One of the things I learned the hard way in NMS: Build on stilts or in "the air", never on flat ground or even underground.

Its the nature of the beast. The program can only store so many changes and once you've used all those changes no other changes are saved or initial changes are discarded depending on how the program is set up.

The best solution is to build up off the ground. You can use basic parts to make a "basement" on ground level and then build your main level on top of that. You can put your storage containers and batteries in the sublevel and can hide the wires by running them up through the floor.

Think of it this way: If you have to remove terrain features to make room for your base, they will grow back and annoy you. I use a layer of cube rooms that contact the ground and I don't care what grows back in there. The floors added on top will always be free.

Exactly this^

Use the Terrain Manipulator Flattening tool to quickly sweep round and clean up terrain that appears in a base. It's faster than the mine . If terrain will not vanish from tight corners or behind placed decorations, use the Geology Canon (fully upgraded will remove large areas of terrain very very fast. Take care though you don't blow yourself up, so make a manual save before using the geology canon indoors.

I would heartily recommend that you start giving Beeblebum's videos on glitch building/low orbit a look. I know they look complex, but once you get the hang of things it makes base building to avoid these kinds of issues much easier.

By way of example, here's my base Regulus Core.

You'll notice I have no trouble with terrain regrowing... that'd be the benefit of building at a 9 minute invisible ladder climb above the surface of the planet. Low orbit bases are helpful that way. I haven't picked up a freighter yet on this save, but skydiving into my base from a frigate is one thing I'm looking forward to. If you want the basic floorplan here, give Xainesworld's channel a look. It's the base building segment of his "Amazing Race" series.

Ahhh so i ned to start again. I have all of my bases on flatend terrain and all have the same problem that removed ground in some ponit grows back and takes my base. The buildings are still there but i vant use them aney more . and removing the ground by hand and by tools it would take too much time. Thx for help next time ill build my base just on pilars and hop[e it will be fine.

That's why I always prefer setting a base beside some building, where you have wide flat surface.

I have been playing since day 1 and this problem has never gone away, just rebuild on stilts if you can.

It is still possible (though rare) to find a free base computer in the wild. It has the terrain pre-flattened just like any other POI. I found this one just a few months ago.

And you can find these Habbitable bases with Commercial charts. However they occur infrequently

Terrain respawning is a bug that HG has been unwilling and/or unable to fix since day 1 : after a while the terrain will grow back. The only solution I know to avoid the problem is to build above ground.

Upload base and the terrain never regrows.

Where did you get that idea?

My base terrain regrown on my save several times before, but actively uploading base, I don't encounter that anymore. So I guess it works that way,
I'm currently building an underground mineral extractor and the terrain doesn't regrow.
