Can crafted objects be moved?

[Darkkhelmet]

I laid out my base pretty haphazardly and would like to redesign it or even relocate it. Is it possible to move the hydroponics and anything else I have created to a different place in the same base or to a new base? If the hydroponics can be moved with the plants be moved with them? The thought of gathering all the necessary components for agriculture gives me cramps.

Is there any advantage to relocating the base as you travel from system to system?

You can destroy and re-create for free inside your base radius. (free meaning full material refund).

you can only have 1 ground base and 1 freighter base at one time. So you can't really move items from one base to another and have 2 bases at once; but you can destroy all, grab all your materials, and rebuild elsewhere.

you should destroy a plant, then the hydro to move a plant. Pretty much follow the rule of destroy in reverse (generally) of how you made stuff (decorations and interiors before rooms, as another example).

No, only relocate when you want to, the only advantage is if you want to harvest a different gas, mineral, or grow a different type of plant outside (without trays/domes).

you probably want to destroy before you hop galaxy, I forget how that behaves now... havent done it in a very long time.

if you destroy before crossing the center to another galaxy you get everything back. If not then you only get ~half of it back. To break down my fairly complex base and store it in my freighter I need 2 48 slot haulers and just about every slot filled in my explorer. This way I bring down the ship that has the materials needed to build that section.

ie. The explorer has the materials to build the ground level with the storage containers and the galactic trade terminal. The haulers are named for the levels they hold materials for. My base has 4 levels. Hauler 1-2 has the materials to finish off level 1 and all of level 2. Hauler 3-4 has the rest.

This way I get everything back and don't have to collect/mine materials to do it all over again.

Also consider this when crossing to the next galaxy. If you take your fully decked out, main ship to cross the center it will come out the other side completely broken, requiring a lot of scavenging to make it all work again. If you get a junky cheap shuttle with ONLY the three warp upgrades installed you will only need to fix the launch thruster to get back to your freighter (once you call it) to get your main ship back and be off and running. You can fix the junky shuttle at your leisure.

Also, there is no need to dismantle your base everytime you go to a new system. You can always teleport back to it from the station of whatever system you are in. The only time I relocated my base was when I found a newer, cooler location. When I was still in Euclid I kept my base in the rim for a very long time while moving closer to the center. I only moved it when the last universe reset put most of it underground.

Good luck and pleasant journey Traveller.

Thanks, I have a long way to go and this info will help. I found a crashed B class ship a while back and still can't afford to fix all the storage slots so a freighter or A class 48 slot ship is far in the future for me. You did remind me of something else though. Some time ago I received the plans for a galactic trade terminal, looked at the material requirements and thought I would start putting stuff away to build it. The thing is, I can no longer find the blueprint for the terminal any more. Where is it supposed to be and have you heard of this issue before?

The Galactic Trade Terminal should be under "Room Parts" in your building menu.
The blueprint can be learned by completing an Overseer quest nowadays.

And indeed is there, thanks.
