Removing bases that belong to nobody.

[TacoRaptor]

Is there a way to do this? Could I report the bases as "Offensive or Inappropriate" so that they'll be removed? Me and my group of friends built in an area of a planet and somehow my original base didn't get removed when I deleted it, so there's a base sitting next to a wreck that has no real "owner" it just shows as Logging in as GUEST. There's also two other bases that have this same issue in the area so our HUDs are getting cluttered with all of the Base markers.

Is it the same in single player and multiplayer?

[TacoRaptor]

Only in Multiplayer. If I load the save in Singleplayer nothing is wrong but if I join my friends it loads the busted world. I ended up just moving again and I can only hope it won't happen again.

seems the bases are in your friends save game

I've run into similar problems but haven't had the opportunity to test out some solution ideas.

(Idea) Everybody that is going to be multiplayer needs to remove the phantom base from their save file using the Save Editor. Do this after starting and then exiting a single player game.

Once you've seen someone else's base, it is stored in your save file and NMS doesn't seem to sync with the save file of the player who deleted his base. This may work differently between uploaded and not uploaded bases. So while the original owner of the base can no longer see his own base because he deleted it, everyone else can see the phantom base because it lingers in their save file.

We have found that if you delete an uploaded base using the Save Editor not the base computer, the base remains visible to everyone (even single player) but everyone is a Guest even the original owner. This could probably be reverse with a SE edit. The benefit to this is that the phantom base doesn't contribute to your total parts count. I don't know if a newly uploaded base would overwrite the uploaded phantom base.

Also the moment you enter a solar system, every base visible to you is added to your save file. You don't have to actually see the base. You only need to register with the base computer if you want to be able to teleport back to that base.

How do you go about deleting the phantom bases with the Save Editor?

[Gatun]

Do you have any experience with the Save Editor?

[TacoRaptor]

Never used it, but I'm sure I can figure it out. Looking at it now and it seems pretty straightforward, but I don't really see a way it can be done through it.

[Gatun]

first save all of your bases as files so they are backed up.

[Gatun]

Make sure the save editor is working with the current save file. The date and time of the save shows when you pick a save slot.

edit > edit raw JSON > PlayerStateData > PersistantPlayerBases

Each folder is a base, folder 0 for me is my freighter.

Find your phantom base and delete the contents of the whole folder for that base, cntrl-A on the right side to select all then delete.

Save the edit window and "save changes" button on the main tab, reload your game. Do not save from the game before reloading or you will overwrite the changes you made in the Save Editor.

Omg... thank you SO much! Got my friends to do it as well and now we're down to just our 4 bases. Woo :D
