Base icons should have the base name

[Hugh Manatee]

My home planet is cluttered with bases. Haven't counted them, but there must be at least 20. Pinpointing a base is a hassle. It's a damn nuisance how all the base icons state the obvious. "I am a base." Umm, I already know it's a bloody base, the icon symbol informs me of this fact. The base's name in the icon would take away the guessing game.

And, yes, I know I can just use a portal. But, I'm not always in the mood to portal and perhaps I enjoy taking the scenic route. It gives me the opportunity to find new locations for a new base I'll always have trouble finding, since there is no way to map our planets.

Don't get me started about no mapping in the game! The useless base icons are bad enough!

Surely, I'm not alone? If you read this and agree, you better bloody post!

Huggiez!

Build a message module in the base, type the base name inside it.

But more importantly, only build one base per planet :o

Message module. Good suggestion. Thanks. =)

Tragically, you couldn't leave good enough alone. Could you?

One b-b-b-base p-p-per p-p-planet?

Great. The stuttering is back. Happy?

Are you mad?

Why don't you advise me to cut off my nut5? And, since I'm rather fond of my nut5, you can imagine why I'm agog.

Yes. Agog.

Here I was thinking I was the crazy one. =P

One b-b-base per planet.

Hilarious!

one of the main reason to make multiple bases is to have easy access on different ressources and a teleporter to move around the galaxy free of charge... On a sngle planet you will have a limited variety of ressources, and teleporting would be pointless. Myself I even refrain from creating multiple bases in a single star system because of this.

P.S.: when I say ressources, I'm talking about the more interesting ones, those you cant have an infinite amount by expanding a single stack in the medium/big refiner, so gases (only 1 type per planet) and ore deposits (3 types per planet), also you can only put 3 oxygen harvesters and 3 atmosphere harvester per planet....

Ah! I see your point and it makes sense if you don't play in creative mode.

The fact I play in creative is my main motivation. Also, you haven't seen this planet. It is amazingly beautiful. I finally found the perfect planet. Perfect weather, never too hot, or cold and no storms whatsoever. It consists of mountainous islands with commanding views, private coves perfect for beach houses, even the frikkin caves are inviting.

I'm an artist, in every sense of the word. So, having a world of my own to design comes natural to me. I see it as a palace planet, with different amazing locations where I can build. Perhaps this is more to the point. Creative mode should have the flexibility to build multiple bases. And, it's not like the game doesn't allow more than one base. There are planets that have different people sharing it.

By the way, Happy Old Year until it's new! =)

I'd appreciate if you share the system's coordinates. I'm gonna visit it with relish (I promise I won't litter there with my base).

[Ǥɾᴧᴤʆᴧᵯᴧ]

andr99, i guess you need a creative savegame to visit bases made in creative mod.
aaand if you don't know what you can do next in this game then install eucli-ea mod from winder. idk if you have already done it. you need this mod for the unity system because some big bases are build with it. ´just remembered that we exchanged some lines there so i write this...

@byte me, if you are a base builder, maybe you like this mod too

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/367

Oh, just an idea. idk how much bases you have built on your home planet but i would place down the signals and give them a color. that may help a bit to find the right base...
ofc a name would much better....

[Zhunt]

I would like the galactic map to have the base name on it. I have several bases, in some cases multiple ones in the same system, so just having them all listed on the map as home base isn’t that helpful

[andr99ru]

I just want to look at the "amazingly beautiful" planet. That's all.

I've seen a great number of planets upon my 300+ hours of playing, but I can't say there were any beautiful, just no more than nice. Maybe I'm kinda unlucky, idk.

[Guh~hey~hey~♫]

Would be nice to have some sort of terraforming feature, allowing you to shape a planet or entirely creating one to your likings. Like picking the type, climate, color palette, landscape, etc....

[Hugh Manatee]

@Ǥɾᴧᴤʆᴧᵯᴧ. You rock! Thanks for thinking of me and providing the link. Yes, I know that mod well. In fact, if it wasn't for that mod, I wouldn't be playing NMS again. I won't play the game after an update until that mod is fixed. There's no point. Let's face it, the decorative items HG provide doesn't add up to much and you can only mix up that selection a limited amount of times. It baffles me how stupid HG are by withholding items that can easily be made available to us. Don't they want to make amends after the fiasco release? Taking away possible creative avenues certainly doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies. I dread the possibility of that mod dying without someone picking it up.

Obviously beauty is subjective. As well, "amazingly beautiful" has as much to do with its beauty as much as it does with me flourishing my words to describe it. My mother has always told me beauty is in the eye of the beholder and ugliness goes right to the bone. Clearly, this means if you're ugly, you most likely suffer from lumbago with sciatica. It's all rhetorical jibber jabber if you ask me. My rhetorical jibber jabber is, beauty only matters to the observer. If they can see it and appreciate it, then it's only their opinion that counts. This forces me to ponder if a person without sight can truly see beauty.

My planet is amazingly beautiful, in my opinion. And, I must add, my opinions are never wrong. Therewith and therefore, my eyes are biased. Then again, I only said that so I could say therewith and therefore in the same sentence. And, yes, I admit it, for cheap comic value.

Tell you what, since I'm not in the habit of putting out my system's coordinates to any Tom, ♥♥♥♥ or andr99ru who asks for it, I'll graciously compromise. Below, you will find a selection of snapshots of my precious planet. Plus, I added a couple extra because it's the holiday season, look out for the penisfish, my homeworld's only predator. Also, my first concept idea for a swimming pool, which is suprisingly easy to make. The structure with the circle lights is a beach station with a portal. You access it through a tunnel in the rock. And, how my freighter's bridge used to look. The rest is pure scenery.

We'll examine the possibility of providing you with my, now controversial, system's coordinates at a later date when we can be chaperoned. After all, I have my flawless reputation to preserve. Therefore, I will consider it foul scorn if my good name is besmirched.

Enjoy the pics. Happy New!

Thanks a lot for the pics. Yes, this planet is nice one, pretty nice, but not uniqe at all -- after the 'Visions' update there's a whole lot of them.

It is very good that you didn't give me the coordinates. Otherwise, I'd be quite disappointed on arrival after a series of warps (i don't like portals).

You know, after more than 300 hours of gameplay I've got nothing to do in this game anymore, except warping from system to system searching for interesting worlds in terms of flora, faund, and landscape. And I can't find any, cause they're all the same to a large extent -- same boring. The procedural generation implemented by HG is very very restricted. Imho.

[Ǥɾᴧᴤʆᴧᵯᴧ]

Winder is very active at the moment and has made several updates in the last week. This mod won't die in the next weeks because he found a "unity system 2018" community for create bases with mods. Read his lines at Nexus...

I think HG is well adviced <not> to implement these assets in the normal game. When i look at my bases, built with Eucli-ea, the fps drop is - uuhhhh! ;). The "normal" players would complain about it. They doit for really minor problems either. Ranting seems to become a major part of the citizen lifes... A mod is imo the best way to build extended bases *g*

The fish has company:

Happy New Year to you too!

@andr99ru. I wholeheartedly disagree and believe you have overlooked some other things you do in connection to NMS.

For one, you are clearly a critic and self-appointed pseudo connoisseur of all things that make a special planet extra spekshul. You must be proud. For some reason. Cheeky monkey. Also, you're a crusher of dreams, a serial killer of feelings and a quasher of orange, perhaps even grape quash, which isn't the direction I intended at the start of this sentence. See? Your brutal attack on my precious planet has me befuddled and bemused. And to think, I was going to introduce you to my late Aunt Winnebaga.

I am beside myself and I'm not even a twin. Looks like I'll have to cancel the New Years Eve party for the sad orphans and terminally ill children. The event would have raised millions of eyebrows and billions in cash. Happy? Still feeling proud? How do you sleep at night? Because if you're like me and toss and turn all night and wake up feeling tired or hungover, then part of you're problem is too much alcohol. The other problem is you need a new matress. I get you good deal on new used matress, only one owner who never use it. A hospital. Tree fiddy? You pay me.

And that's how one carries oneself with dignity. Good morrow to thee.

@Ǥɾᴧᴤʆᴧᵯᴧ. lmao! It's amazing how often something looks like a penis in the game. Some critics, who shall remain nameless, certainly look like a huge... member. It's not like I'm actively looking for them. They just stand out, like a sore thumb that resembles a penis. They are everywhere! It's as if the game is forcing them down our throats. Which is a bad, yet hilarious example.

I should rant more. My problem is, I keep things bottled up. LMAO! Even I can't buy that BS.

@byte me. Sorry man, I'm from Russia, so I didn't understand almost everything that you've written in the last post (probably due to different language mentality). But its okay, no need to clarify.

What about your planet -- seriusly, there are a vast number of them since the 'Visions' update released. A moment ago I've taken a look at my save files (one for Normal mode and one for Survival), and found out that I have summary visited more than 1000 star systems. In about half of them I was visiting planets. So, I can certainly say, there are very many planets quite like yours. It is nice colored, beautiful and so on, but far from uniqe.

I didn't want to offend you, not at all. Sorry if I did. Happy New Year! In my place it will become in less than 20 minutes )

[mrjvoorhees]

OP, your verbosity really isn't very clever or amusing. Great that you like to play in creative with 20+ bases on one planet, but that's so far from the typical or intended way to play this game that you shouldn't be upset if it doesn't work to your liking. In any case, as others have said, this so-called perfect planet you've found is far from ideal in my opinion... that red earth is positively garish.

@andr99ru - don't worry if you can't understand OP. He thinks his loquacious thesaurus-happy style is clever, but it isn't. Far better to communicate clearly and concisely.
