is it possible to set a new spawn location?

[sandwichlizard]

i have searched discussion and can find nothing on this. can players set a new spawn location in game?

[sidrat]

I thought the world was randomized? Sometimes there's a deep bowl other times there are not.

[Heightmare]

The terrain is definitely randomized, but within a world the spawn point is always the same place. You can edit your save to make a new one, but we'll likely make this an item-based thing at some stage.

[hektor]

I wondered about this as well but also wonder why... Are you spawning into objects or trying to go far from your base?

You can find spawn item in the scenario world.xml and copy from it.

I thought it was startingconditions.xml - or is that for newly created worlds only?

You can edit your world.xml and put it inside with custom xyz

Perhaps something like the Minecraft thing of sleeping in a bed to change your spawn point? Maybe even include the spawn point reverting to original spawn if that object breaks or is missing / blocked?

It still work in latest beta versions? can't get this work...

[Kastuk]

Can find similar thing in an Training scenario.
Like in Tutorial 10 - Circuit Logic Solar:

<SpawnPoints>
    <ThingSaveData>
      <ReferenceId>1</ReferenceId>
      <PrefabName>SpawnPoint</PrefabName>
      <CustomName />
      <WorldPosition>
        <x>-28</x>
        <y>26</y>
        <z>-35</z>
      </WorldPosition>
      <WorldRotation>
        <x>0</x>
        <y>0</y>
        <z>0</z>
        <w>0.7071068</w>
        <eulerAngles>
          <x>0</x>
          <y>0</y>
          <z>0</z>
        </eulerAngles>
      </WorldRotation>
      <States />
      <IsCustomName>false</IsCustomName>
      <CustomColorIndex>-1</CustomColorIndex>
      <OwnerSteamId>0</OwnerSteamId>
      <Reagents />
      <Indestructable>false</Indestructable>
      <DamageState>
        <Brute>0</Brute>
        <Burn>0</Burn>
        <Oxygen>0</Oxygen>
        <Hydration>0</Hydration>
        <Starvation>0</Starvation>
        <Toxic>0</Toxic>
        <Radiation>0</Radiation>
        <Stun>0</Stun>
      </DamageState>
    </ThingSaveData>
</SpawnPoints>

yes, i found it.
But after adding to user world, spawn still work as area, not point.

Did you edit in the file save or did you edit and start a new game?

edit and load existing save

Perhaps the player location is saved elsewhere in the files within your save folder. Or you can try starting a new game, but that's not going to tell you much straight away - unless you wake up in rock or very high up.

How should editing a saved world help when starting a new game?

Also can place CryoTube and register your body for respawning inside.
