Summoning Exocraft from Freighter

[Flaccid Snake]

I had not built the required equipment before this Freighter update, now it doesn't seem to be available to build anymore. I built an Exocraft specialist room in my Freighter, post-update. What else do I need?

You need to have the exocraft pads built somewhere in the galaxy you are in and your freighter must have the exocraft materialiser. The specialist is not required.

[cruste]

you need the orbital excraft modul not the exocarft specialist

the specialist is simply an option to unlock exocraft content with missions instead of nanites on the anomaly

Do you mean Solar system when you say "Galaxy" or the actual whole galaxy?

Im pretty sure just in the galaxy. once you reach "end game" only then would you have to build another set of exocrafts.

So if you change galaxy what happen to your previous ground base ? can you still teleport there ?

[Shaauppp]

Your bases in the previous galaxy remain. You can teleport back to them or any discovered stations in the previous galaxy.

You dont even need a freighter now you can build an exocraft summoing station from build menu planet side and call any exocraft then pick it back up. You still need a base with the original station anywere in any galaxy, as long as its at a base, for it to work.

Yea so let's say you want to summon a Roamer anywhere on a planet.

¹You have your Orbital Exocraft Materialiser on freighter.

²You build a Roamer Geobay. You technically only need to build one in the entire universe. It doesn't require you to build it on a base -( no base computer setup required because it's under Deployable Technology) but you probably should build it somewhere that you frequent.

Now you can go to any system or galaxy and summon a Roamer on planet as long as you have the freighter in the same system.

But what if your freighter is in system A and you want to keep it there but still need a Roamer for System B?

³ build an Exocraft Summoning Station on any System B planet. It's the one that looks like a Geobay with radar. As mentioned above it's portable.

This is a nitpick, but if you have the exocraft pads built in any galaxy, they'll count in any other galaxy. Only need to build them once per *universe*

Legend:
Star system: collection of planets/moons. e.g. our Solar system
Galaxy: collection of star systems. E.g. our Milky Way
Universe: collection of galaxies. e.g. NMS universe has 256 galaxies.

If you had the exocraft summon thing you need to buy it again. You can use a salvage tech again instead of a freighter one at the anomaly

Well I'm confused. I've built the Orbital Exocraft Materialiser on my Freighter, summoned it practically into orbit of a planet I've landed on and I can't summon any vehicles. On another planet in the same system I have the Rover pad built. Why isn't it working?

Is it the new one or the old one? The old one doesn't work. You can tell by the big tires in the corner of the old room.

Pretty sure it's post-update, but I'll check. Thanks!

However I've just built the Exocraft Summoning Station and that seems to do exactly the same job? I was able to summon two different Exocraft (Roamer and Nomad), one of which i'm pretty sure doesn't have a hub in the system I'm in.

You have to have 1 of each summoning station somewhere in the universe. Once you have that, the exocraft summoning room in the freighter will work from anywhere. Hence, only build one of each type of summoning station planetside to enable the freighter's functionality.

Oh it's the room on the freighter AND the summoning station on the planet that work together? I totally missed that bit. I thought the freighter room was supposed to just send you vehicles. Thanks for help!
