How to find my base computer

[DeVeers]

I got lost exploring and can't find my base again. The only thing I'm sure of is that I'm on the same planet as my base. How do I find it??

Fly off-planet, and you should see it looking at the planet.

Easiest way would be to fly into space, just far enough to get a good look at the planet, now scan around it, you WILL see your base if it is there.

There should be an icon on your HUD that looks like a Dome with a line under it. That will be your base (and like the icon for your active ship and active exocraft, it is visible at any distance in the same system, even on another planet). If you are in an area with a lot of elevation changes like mountains or deep caves, you may need to use the analysis visor and look some distance above or below the local horizon to find it (and if you have been flying around on a small planet, it could even be straight down if you have managed to go halfway around).

Quick Menu: call in your starship and get off planet do as others have suggested and if you still dont see it, Quick Menu: call in the Space Anomaly and use it's teleporter to get to your base, or use the in system Space Station to teleport to your base.

If he just put down a BC without Claiming the area.. duh ...there is no Base.

Visit a SpaceStation ... there use the teleporter back to your base

And yeah ^^^^ Prescient Stones

From what the OP said, I don't think that'll work. No teleporter built before wandering off?

[Zigamus]

a teleporter from a station to your base does not require a teleporter in the target location, just a base computer.

this was within my first hour of gameplay, I thought it would mark my base

can confirm, did not build a teleporter but was able to teleport from the space station

[Raf]

What's the point of building a teleporter then?

Good your back on track and perhaps learned a few things. Building a portable Save beacon is trivial and easy too. In case you run across something you want to remember. Color assignments can be made too so you can distinguish between items of interest. Play around with the color and that might be a thing you can rely on in the future.

To teleport to any base, settlement, Freighter, Space Station you've previously discovered (Space Station).

...or as in this thread; to ask a question.
