Can't build anything in the expedition

[TheDreamXV]

Hi,

I actually just dicovered that you need to start new game for the expeditions, so i went into new one.

And i can't build anything, especially the refiner (or how does it called), to fix my ship. Is is some sort of bug or i miss something? It says i have no permission to build it, but i playing in my own party with no members and can't understand the problem..

You can be connected online using Steam while playing games but if you disable Multiplayer in No Man's Sky Network settings, that will remove players from your game, However because you are playing online you will discover other player bases and encounter discovered systems and found fauna and flora that have all been previously claimed and uploaded to the Hello Games server.

If you can not place a portable refiner or build one, that is because the game will recognise if the location you are in has already been claimed by another player's base computer nearby. You may find if you move a distance away you will then be able to build your refiner.

If you are doing the Expedition a personal refiner is installed ready to use in your exosuit. Community expeditions will have many players taking part so you will encounter more locations already claimed by players affecting building or editing of terrain. The planets are enormous so simply find nearby another location that will let you build and place your portable refiner. It is easier to use the refiner in your suit unless you have a lot of stuff to refine and need to split the load across several refiners.

'No Permission to edit' messages often mean a location has been claimed by a player base computer. If you disconnect from the internet entirely by playing the game through Steam set to Offline, then you will be playing the game completely solo and without any connection to the Hello Games server. No bases will be downloaded or appear in your game. As you travel back and forth to systems any downloaded bases from other players will vanish from your game. Once you go back online claimed areas and discoveries will once again populate your game.

Thanks!

Yeah expedition routes are popular with players, which is great. Simply wander off a distance to find somewhere nearby where you can place your portable refiner. Going offline with Steam is a bit extreme (but can help) as you will miss helpful bases and fun things than help speed up progress on an Expedition, especially if you are a latecomer to the Expedition.

You can always go back online again with Steam and then see everything again later. While offline you will not be able to upload your on discoveries but you will be able to claim your own base computers. When online again you can then upload stuff and upload your own bases, Also there are sometimes milestones in expeditions that do require an internet connection, so be sure to be online when you complete those.

You start with the person refiner in your exo suit tech section so you don't need to build a portable refiner.

💯%

OP: When you see that message 'No Permission to edit' it means you are in another players base area. If you move around 300u away you should be able to build whatever you need.

Yeah, the problem is - i actually did that, but for some reason i can't built even like 30km from the base.. feels like entire planet is restricted

Omg, there is actually one! I never seen personal refiner in standart game.. Thanks! Will use it now :)

You aren't playing a standard game, you're in the Expedition which always provides something different each and every start.

PS you really didn't have to build ;)

While you are at it, go ahead and change your settings where you allow multiplayer...turn your PVP to off. That way later, if you decide you want to see other people ( less chance to get your loot ), you won't be attacked and killed.

PvP is voluntary with no in game reward or ranking. Some players set up battle arenas and make up their own matches.

New save default to "players can damage players" set to "on". This allows griefers to kill unsuspecting players if they don't know to turn that off.

Oh, i see now. Surely will turn it off in that case.

Players can not take other player's loot. Rarely do players kill anyone and in Options network settings PvP can easily be toggled on or off, if you want. Occasionally NPC pirates will create an attack from their spaceships. You can ignore them or fly up to defeat them. If ignored they stop attacking after a few minutes (if you get lucky : )

With online play, one advantage of joining any community Expedition late, is you get to use and see other player bases, marking important locations than help you on the journey. Some bases are well made and often helpful or provide shelter while attacking sentinels.

This deffinetely will be a nice experience, i've played standart mode for quite some time, but never seen any bases / players, even though i played online.. or i think i did.. Need to double check on that. But in expedition i want to see other players for sure, maybe cooperate as well
