Base building broken (PC - Feb 2025)

[B!tchStewie]

I can build the structure, and can place teleporter, refiner, save point, but can't add any decorations, lights, or other items. Error says "Invalid location", when it's really not invalid. Sometimes when I leave the planet, save somewhere and come back it works again, but not always. Another issue is when I'm in third person inside the base building, the camera moves in and out on its own and makes it difficult to place walls, floors etc. Changing to first person sometimes helps but not always. Anyone else having these issues?

Try placing it even tho its red. I have the problem with calling my ship on some planets, it shows red and "invalid location" but its works anyway.

I can't do that since I can't even see the item, it's just an "X" and the error message "Invalid Location". It's like the items can't see the building or recognize the base itself.

on PC, restarting the game completely fixed this issue for me, but merely going back to the menu didn't
if it happens again I'll add more details, I only noticed this when landing at a settlement

Reloading the game is needed for a bunch of issues. This patch has been problematic on many levels.

Ive had the same issue this patch, happens mostly when teleporting from a station, directly to your base. A relog helps but seems like we will have to wait for a patch to help with this issue
