Best place to build base?

What should i look for to find planet that isnt dangerous. I want a planet i dont need life support or hazard protection on lol Do these planets exist?

You can definitely find planets where you don't need hazard protection, though that and life support won't matter inside your base anyways.
AFAIK, you cannot find a planet you don't need life support on.

Most planets have some form if hazzard. Honestly don't stress over hazzards they are not that big of a deal.

Find a spot with good resources and/or a nice view. As long as your inside hazzard protection is irrelevant.

Find a Paradise Planet. They usually have perfect weather and minimal Sentinels

Desert/Barren planets also work well, since they only need hazard protection at night (being inside at your base is safe). Paradise/Lush planets will have heat storms periodically (just go indoors or get the protection). Upgrades, bought with nanites at the space stations, will help you last much longer without having to recharge.

In case you don't know, you can stack life support and hazard protection to make those unfriendly planets more hospitable. You can have 3x S class but you need lots of slots.

desert and barren sound doable. I have bunch of those upgrades. But have top keep recharging them :-/ Wanted calm planet so i could run around harvesting. And bring to base to refine or sell. Love game but its a bit complex at times. like im supposed to hire some one for base... a colony chief or such. But only one i ever found was a weapons dude lol

Overseer is a Gek and usually found on the Space Station in the room with the Alternate Commodity Terminal thing. Down the side from the Multitool vendor go through two doors and you will find a small bar and terminal a few NPC's will be there.

You should have a Quest to find the Overseer it will pinpoint him.

Good ^^^ suggestions so far. All I can add is pick a spot that looks good to you, esp if you’re going to spend any amount of time there. I’ll also add that you might want a large open area for your 1st base but then once familiar with building a semi hilly area can help make awesome looking builds

Oh & you always need life support & airless moons use it up twice as fast

i like planets with burried bones, they are big money. and i usually camp near trade outposts and minor settlements. although one annoying thing about trade outposts is if you're about 200-300 meters away the npc starships will circle the trade outpost 24/7 without landing and its very noisy lol, this didnt seem to happen when i build closer. but i also wanted to be in range of a power source + mineral farm

OP: bountiful planets. They have paraffinium and star bulbs. If you land on them and analysis visor says 'weather: mild rain' then you scored. Not all planets of this variety (having paraffinium and star bulbs) are safe, some have weather saying some variant of 'storm' word, There will be hot hazard occassionally and you will let your guard down, leave for the loo and find youself dead when you return.

Personally I like frozen planets.

ah interesting. I built on first planet we start on. But seems like i harvested all the ore. argh.. finding ore is rough as i go to spot... and i already cleared it but still shows.

Oh and ya quest finally sent me to guy. I had to do couple other steps before showed me. Odd it says need guy but doesn't tell where till later lol

now need science guy bah
