Placing the core.

[gadget51]

I am going through the tutorial and have taken the base (training base), built the core, but it wont go into the hole that the old core was in. It just says that it is unable to spawn as there is something in the way.
Not doing very good so far. About 7 hours of game play, been killed six times with many deaths as I re-spawn - damn spiders!

Did you build core or a base starter? Base starters are for starting completely new bases. If you just want to stick a core in an existing base or vessel, you want just the core from the devices tab.

Check to see if there is "debris" in the original core location; otherwise, you could place the core anywhere on the base to continue with the tutorial. I didn't have any problem placing the core there when I ran the tutorial scenario. As Midas said, the core used for replacing another core should be the standalone core, not the starter base core.

I haven't done that particular quest. But any other time in the game you don't have to put the core in a specific spot. Just put it anywhere.

Ah!!! I am using the starter base core. Better get some minerals then. Thanks.

This is THE go to place for help in this game. Best forum ever;)

Oh... and for those spiders.... Build a shotgun. The basic shotgun is your best friend early game.

Going to start over. Base was demolished by Zyrax when I was collecting plants for food. Next time I will go out armed and in the hover. I was only 100m from base. They blew it up, then killed me. Hope there is no limit on how many times you can play the Tutorial.

[mathaniel]

As many times as you want.

Yes remember its easier to just place your core out in open so they can easily take the core

That way you don't have to delete your save when they take over your base through magical hacking (hacking occurs when they can not reach your core within time limit) and you are unable to get it back cause your own defenses will be used against you and you can't magically hack like they can.

Sorry that is on you though boo

At least as dev trying to make posts claiming everyone is liar post on ONE other game forum so it isn't so obvious.

got it?
Don't forget to give your game a good review too.

[ravien_ff]

I won't debate this as there's nothing to debate.
Zirax can only hack your core if they are within 10 meters (5 BA blocks) of your core.
That is how the mechanic works. I don't owe you any further discussion.

Yeah at the start the spiders can be tricky. Dance with them. Keep moving. Notice how before they strike they stop and take aim... during that time you can run over the top of them or otherwise dodge and they won't hit you. Watch your stamina though. And as Gray suggested, the shotgun is excellent for close range, but any weapon will scatter them. While they run away you can reload and rest. But watch for spiders attacking from the side.
