tether doesn't work at all

[ALPHA-OMEGA]

i make and put down tethers and they will not connect to the habitat no matter if i put it at the edge of how far away they can be placed or right next to it. exited and tried to reload, same result. started a new game, same result. also the platforms get power but i don't get connect to them for power or oxygen. nor do the tethers connect to them.

Did you placed O2 generator in you'r base?

yeah, like Catazeus says, you need an Oxygenator in your habitat to allow tethers to connect... It is one of the three items you get in the supply drop that you activate after you first get out of your pod. And the same goes for vehicles like rovers and shuttles... You need an oxygenator on the vehicle if you want to be able to attach tethers off of it.

Ok Tethers dont work. I cant build and oxygenator if i cant go get the stuff to make it

If you are starting the game, you go to that pad outside it and request your started packs. One of the boxes is the Oxygenator, that you need to slot to the side of the habitat. You will notice a ghost shape where should go.

This is a tip of the new mechanics of how bases will generator O2 now. You need to build one and slot in any platform that is connected to the power grid of you base. A blue line will indicate that platform is now sending O2.

Same goes to the shuttle, that also have a slot with the ghost image.

...Pretty sure I just said the same thing, didn't I? lol. But yeah, this is correct, thank you for reiterating it. =)
I'll go ahead and repeat it one more time just for good measure:

You get an Oxygenator in the supply drop that you get by interacting with the circular landing pad that pops up when you first exit your pod after starting a new game. The other two items it drops are a medium platform and a medium printer. You must put the oxygenator in a little alcove slot on the side of your habitat shelter and then it will allow tethers to connect to it and all other platforms and items attached to the shelter. If you want to tether off of a rover or shuttle, that rover or shuttle must also have an oxygenator in order to supply oxygen to tethers.
