Pick-up crafted machines/items?

[bsrlinmaz]

I left the game for a bit and came back today, to see a few new things -- the 'Move' feature...does that mean I can pick-up something such as the 'Wellhead' and/or Mass Storage and Power Storage devices, to be able to move my base? Hoping to be able to take as many of the crafted things as possible with me to new location...are there any things I cannot pick-up and carry to a new location?

Also, a tree has grown through one wall of my structure -- was not there a cpl. months ago when I last played...is there a way to completely remove/cut-down a tree?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Items can be moved, but only within the range of your BCU. e.g. An item will not go back into your inventory, but instead has to be placed within the blue sphere before moving another item. Hope that helps.

Thank you for information/reply...to make sure I understand: to move to another location on the map would require me to 'dismantle' everything and rebuild in new location?

Thank you.

yes you have to do that or leave the base there and build another

Ok, thank you for replies and information.

This got me to wondering? What if the OP put up a foundation, a wall, and a new BCU at the new location they wanted their base. Then, in theory, any item could be moved and placed at that new location from his old base, right? Have not tried this yet, but see no reason why one could not remove, say, a wall unit from an old base, walk across to the other side of the map with that wall, and then place it at the new location.

Anyone ever try this?

Won't work as the movement of items as the BCU area limit even if there is no BCU.... but I'm thinking of trying to hopscotch/leap frog item to my new base after deleting the BCU's at the old one.... I'll let you know if it works.

[00 Critical]

LOL nope.... if the item needs a BCU to be placed then you can't move it without one. That didn't take very long....LOL :)

Thank you.

you could make a 'train' of BCUs, add one so it's sphere and the prior overlap, move everything then delete the old and add another until you've kind of scooted your base all the way across the map...seems like a pain though

move one foundation and add a bcu, move everything, delete the old bcu and do it all over...you'd only get 50% back for the BCUs you delete though

Well you could build 60 bases, each with a foundation/wall and bcu within the bubble of the previous bcu. As far as I know there is no limit on the number of bcu's you can build. Then you could carry an item from base to base and place it at your last base. LOL what a chore that'd be :)

Imo this should be added :)

There is a distance limitation. There are ways to do it but requires modifying the .sav file.

hover over the item and hold down the end key

WARNING: If you use the delete key isntead of the end key it will delete the object instead of moving it

you can also bind those options to keys of your liking.
