Moving a base to another system

[Musashi]

Hello guys .. I want to build a n ew base on a nother planet/system... do my Container (have 3 of them full with my stuff) travel with that base or will i loose all my stuff ?

Your containers will retain all inventory, but you'll have to rebuild them so make note of the container numbers (and have some power cells on hand, unless you're fine with gathering atrium at the new site). Also stock up on some stuff to rebuild. The game says you get nearly all your resources refunded (which you collect from the base container inside the initial pod structure), but I've moved to new bases twice now, and its more like half or two thirds.

Ok ... i gonna try it :)

did work :)

Good to hear. To make moving to a new base easier each time I've started stocking up on some of the basics while I travel and just dumping them in a container when I return to base. Each new base get's bigger and I dont always want to waste time gathering supplies when I move to a new site.

Can I build a complete base from scratch? I've not seen a way to build a teleport or the component that lets you retrieve the materials from your previous base that you find in uninhabited structures

If u have enough space in your exosuit/ship you can first destroy everything (but not your container s long there is stuff in) than takeover another basebuilding . There you can rebuild all what you want again.

But I can't build one completely from scratch?

My base is on a terrible, barren world ravaged by incredible heat storms during the day and deadly cold at night. There is a beautiful lush world in the same system I'm in, but the sensors only detected this habitable base on the barren world. I'd rather go live on the lush planet, personally.

Not that it really matters

When you have a base and select another world's Habitable Base terminal, it deconstructs your original base and makes the one you're at your new one.

- Inventory of your vaults are preseved. When you build your numbered vaults at the new location, they will contain what they contained at the previous base.
- Workers are preserved. When you build new specialist terminals, the specialists you hired will be working at them immediately.
- All the materials used to physically construct the old base will be placed in the Previous Item Cache. They can be moved from its inventory out to your ship (iirc) but you cannot manually put items into the cache. Pretty sure you don't get ALL the materials back, either. I know every time I've moved, the materials returned have not been quite enough to build the same design again.

Yeah I got that.

So the answer I'm sensing is that no, you cannot build a complete base from scratch. You need to find an empty habitable building to start off with.

Ok what boutique all of the plants that you are growing do they travel with you?
