Starting gear

[Tsuhiki Tsukiyama]

Whenever i start a game in singeplayer i keep having the same starting equipment without a survival constructor. does anybody else have this problem?
it doesn't matter at which dificulty i set the starting equipment, its always the same.
Does anybody have an idea on how to solve this?
i have tried different scenarios and different starting planets, but it all ends up the same

i have had a similar problem since 6.0 came out ..i saw another thread discussing editing or deleting .yaml files and save game files....rather then go through all of that i just uninstalled the game and then deleted the empyion folder from the steamapps/common folder..re-installed the game again and all is good now...i think its because your saves are from pre 6.0 release

It's because they moved the usual starting gear into the nearby POI that always spawns. Crashed Shuttle, Wood Cabin, a similar name to that.

Yeah, it's all in the POI, either in containers or installed at the base. I've dismantled nearly every component in the Shack POI and just made an ugly concrete bunker instead.

The components from the other gear allowed me to build the Large Constructor pretty quickly, seeing as I didn't have to build either a fuel tank or a generator.

after starting 4 worlds over, only on our first one did we land by a starter poi and have a drill and chainsaw in the invantory. The other three we just had our gun. Finally i suicided and took a pod renetery,, started with the drill chain saw constructor and no gun. Never found the poi untill this morning,,, on the oposite side of the world were our pod landed.
Im guessing if the starter POI isn't by you on start its probably on the exact opposite side of the world you are on. Or just drown yourself and reneter with a new pod.

In every SP game I have started to date that uses the starter base POI (wreckage), If I turn to the right in the Pod on the way down, the Wreckage (starter base POI) is always there...
There seems to be an endless amount of seeds though, and for sure I havent seen them all, but out of hundreds, turning to the right on my way down has taken me to the starter wreckage every single time so far... and inside the personal container in that starter base is the survival constructor...

[El Dedo Sucio]

Yeah - steering your pod in a wide arc on the way down allows you to scout for the POI, and any resource nodes that might be in the vicinity.

Open the map wile falling down and you might see it on there.
