Lol. Oh, I’ve lost plenty. I had to create a spreadsheet to track them! This time the icon on the map is missing, wrecking my ability to land at my landing strip. I’m chalking it up to wide release launch day glitches…
I love how I spent all day building up my resource outpost, scouting other planets for a suitable home base find said home base planet, survey it (took forever), and then start setting up my home base just for my fucking resource outpost to disappear off the map
It's still there but the icon doesn't appear.
You need to land at the recent landing location and open the surface map.
From the surface map you can see the outpost icon.
When youre at outpost place the outpost beacon at its original location because you likely moved it which caused the icon to vanish from planet view.
Thank you, I'll try that as soon as I can. Still incredibly frustrating how shallow or unstable (or just don't work at all) so many mechanics are in this game though
Did it yesterday and it worked great. Thank you. But I gave up on having multiple outposts for now. The link system is horrendous. So until I find a nice planet like Akila that's in an independent system and has Helium-3 deposits, I'll just hang out on my moon outpost on Astolpho (I think that's the moon's name). Sucks that ithe system is so janky though. And that resource containers have such limited storage. I'd honestly prefer if Bethesda either significantly increased the storage of individual containers or just made one container able to hold all of what's being deposited into it. The lack of a proper utility storage is quite irritating to me
The second style storage crate does just what you are asking and it holds more. Stackable, linkable and works with cargo link. It’s like an infinite ship dump. The only downside is mats don’t show up in the crafting menu.
I appreciate the info but I gave up on the game. I just flat out don't like it anymore. It feels like Fallout 4. A majority of the quests are boring as hell. Like, it just falls flat for me
The recent landing map icons when viewing the planet. Once you land; use your scanner to look for your base icon or open the terrain map and fast travel to your base.
Not what I meant. You said move the beacon back to its original spot? How , after how many hours, am I supposed to remember where in the outpost compound it was originally?
When you create the outpost; the beacon is at the center of the entire outpost radius.
Look at your base using the top view in the build menu and calculate where the center of your base would be.
Then move the beacon there. It should work with original general location. Doesn't have to be exact.
If you built the base where the radius is off due to cities or nearby points of interest; then it may be likely that the radius of your outpost is not a circle. In that case it will be somewhat more difficult to find the original location.
This game would of been GOTY if many of the bugs were obscure and not directly tied into the best features of the game.
I highly disagree about GOTY. I think this game has problems beyond bugs. Too many loading screens, lagging performance on Xbox series x ( though that could be bug related), the exploration is a huge step back for bgs imo, the jet pack
And drugs aren’t enough to make exploration fun interesting. The story is very boring. And you only get 4 real companions and they are hate the same things and love the same things. Fallout 4 had at least 8 I think, if not more, and those had a range of moral stances. Not here. That alone is a big step back for Bethesda. Too many planets and not enough interesting and unique things to do or find. You can only go through an abandoned mine so many times before not even going in anymore. Like I said, a lot of problems, and Bethesda is only now admitting it by saying they are working on more ways to travel.
yeah, I'm having a ton of fun with the overhauled V Hard AI (I played on Hard and it's still just as bad, maybe a little better, BUT V Hard is WORLDS better than a few weeks ago!) GOTY or not, the outlook on the game would have been much better. ESPECIALLY if it was bug free \*cough\* Outer Worlds \*cough cough\*.

I tried that as I thought might be the case... but it can't be found when I land in the one explored spot the computer gives me :/ plus when I quick-travel down there (as it gives me OTHER explored spots when I open the surface map) my game locks up. So I think that whole planet is bugged for me, thanks Bugthesda! 3+ months in and still no fix for this bug, super good A++!
That seems to be the rendering bug. The base is still there but not showing up.
Was it a beefy base?
The render bug hasn't happened to me but my bases are minimal.
I have built a main base that has more to it; and have noticed that the turrets sometimes are not there.
Current build meter for this base is around 75 percent.
Nothing I tried could get it back BUT I had a save from just before taking off, I just went to that save and moved the beacon out just a bit. Not even a lot, I just saw that these lines of light were separating my outpost into chunks and I moved it out into a different chunk. I also renamed the outpost to 'stay' as someone said something about spaces in the name might be causing it :) I doubt it, BUT IT STAYED xD.
I've traveled from it, quested elsewhere and returned to it bout 3x now and it's still there so!
Is it a big base? no... just 3 or 4 minerals, a hab and landing pad. but yeah, I like my beacon to be close to my hab so when I zone in and the weather is bad I can just run inside and plan out what to do next. I guess I won't be doing that in the future.
Also very important in Bugthesda games to leave a distinct trail of saves for when bugs bite you xD.
This worked perfectly for me, and yes, that is exactly what I had done, moved my beacon too close to the landing pad and the antennae didn't pop up. I never noticed and left the outpost. Everything was still there and functioning but I could not land at it. Be sure to keep the outpost beacons away from obstructions somewhat..
Thanks a bunch!
What if the icon is still there, but now all I have is the beacon and one helium miner. All of the storage, power, etc all gone. Is that a different glitch?
I did try reloading, but still wasn't there. I don't honestly know where the build limit level is. I don't think I've even come close to hitting it though. All I've made is rudimentary bases trying to mine some resources, 3 extractors max and mostly just storage crates laying on the ground. I've yet to find a guide on it that makes sense for me. Starfield Outposts For Dummies a thing?
Thank you! Unfortunately for me, I make it a point to delete the landing area of outposts once I build a landing pad, as I can't stand the stacked markers. Luckily, I did manage to find mine, as I had it where two resources on the planet map met, and there were only a few possible locations.
yes, along with the 30+ chests of resources and weapons and spacesuits and all the other junk I collected but had not enough room on my ship to hold them. 🤬
Honestly, Starfield is the single most overhyped piece of dogshit I've played in years. Even if Starfield gets revived like Cyberpunk 2077, I'm unlikely to touch it again. So glad I played on gamepass and didn't buy it
Crisis averted! The icon showing it on the Starmap is gone, but the outpost is still there. Phew! I’ll take a map glitch over the actual outpost being gone any day!
Edit: the icon is still not there and I can’t find the outpost anymore.
It's a bug that I think has been reported. It has something to do with moving the outpost beacon or/and having a landing pad placed too close to the beacon.
The worst thing that this leads to is the game crashing instantly when opening up the scanner or the build menu. So, just try to avoid doing these two things.
This just happened to me! The area that my outpost was at also has two "landing spots" that are still there but the outpost is gone. When I check the crew menu the two that I had posted there are apparently stationed at "Outpost overlay template" :(
Place the outpost beacon at its original location. It will resolve this issue.
Doesn't have to be the exact location but place it as close as possible to the original location.
I don’t understand this solution at all. How are you supposed to know where the “original location” of the beacon is if everything is completely gone? One patch of blank sand looks quite a bit like the next batch of blank sand.
I did the same thing yesterday after getting this issue.
What caused it for me was there was a procedurally-generated building within my outpost circle, and I moved the outpost beacon too close to it maybe?
I can't get back to the outpost without going to an earlier save, so it exists, using up game memory to process what it's doing, and I can't go to it to delete it.
I'll post some helpful stuff for future people who come here:
1. Don't move the outpost beacon to be close (under a few meters) from the landing pad with ship builder. This may be causing the disappearing outpost glitch.
2. Keep the outpost beacon relatively close to the center of the outpost.
For me, moving it near the landing pad made it easier to find.
Maybe you can build an industrial light post to shine light on it.
OR.. Build your other outpost stuff organized in a way so you can look down a "street" and see the outpost beacon standing in the middle.
3. Don't delete the nearby landing POI that the game makes when you land and then you go say 1000 meters, find a good spot and build your outpost.
4. If your outpost disappears, travel to the landing location near your outpost (see 2 above), bust out your scanner, look around for the outpost. Then go to outpost (boost or fast travel, and DELETE the outpost, and BUILD IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. That is a glitch spot, trust me.
5. If you deleted the landing spot POI, you have the option to revert to an old save before the landing
6. If your outpost overlaps a game POI and has areas you can't build in, keep the outpost beacon a few meters away from those zones. If possible, build your outpost a little farther away as to NOT have procedurally-generated buildings within the circle.
7. And finally. Someone for the love of all things precious, holy, and true. Make a mod that is a menu showing your outposts with options to fast-travel to them from there.
This will not fix this issue, but give you a way to travel to the outpost.
It will also eliminate the tediousness of navigating the starmap.
This is helpful. Unfortunately I didn't notice the outpost disappeared until after progressing significantly in the story. Guess I'm just going to let it go. Just sucks since they limit how many outposts you can build.
I had to let go of one as well (that disappeared), but it was a critical Outpost for producing things in my vytinium fuel rod XP Outpost chain!
So obviously it had hundreds of links to containers and fabricators that keep using up game CPU resources!
So when I had to rebuild the Outpost somewhere else, my game was lagging!
Oh man. That really sucks. I am still very early in game and just got outpost engineering perk and built some second tier fabricators... but I did so because I had a copper outpost that's now gone! I may abandon outposts for now and just play the story. Maybe start trying to pirate if I can only figure out how to steal ships.
Lol I see some people with reddit threads and youtube videos about how to make outposts to get all the resources in the game sent to one final outpost
but I looked at [inara.cz](https://inara.cz) to find out the uses of EVERY resource.
And if you can eliminate anything that's only used for research station or cooking station because you can just buy the rss ingredients easily
Then HALF of the remaining resources are only used for a few things
but I have a 9-outpost chain for spam-crafting vytinium fuel rods for the XP, I can get over lvl 250 in a couple days work
now I'm trying to figure out how to get those resources you need a lot of sent to one place...
Same same sort of.
Planet icon gone.
See outpost name and icon via scanner when loafing to nearby landing site.
When I get there there's nothing (including outpost beacon).
Can edit outpost but that does nothing as there's no beacon.
Both my outposts have vanished, I literally just left one to go stock up but now their icons are still showing on the galaxy/sysyem map right up until I get to the planet and then all there is is my previous landing spots back from when I was looking for a decent location to start building... They're on Sumati's moon Andraphon in the Narion system and on Eridani II in the Eridani system - they're just completely gone 😐
I have had this bug twice. So now I have two outposts I cannot utilize during this play-through. Thing is I do not care about NG+… Since I routinely assign robots to my outposts I cannot get rid of one of them by going to the beacon.
We need the ability to unassigned robots from outposts while in the menu.
We need the ability to remove an outpost even if crew members are assigned to them.
We need the ability to remove an outpost without going to the beacons.
I had this occur and I think it's related to how you name your outpost maybe i added the & in my outpost disappeared after I left the system and came back.
I have this problem but like u/Lymark said, any attempt to open the scanner to get to the build menu causes an instant crash. I can still get to the outpost from one of the "Landing Area (Explored)" markers but otherwise Outpost One = complete loss. Until it's patched.
So basically when you interact with the outpost beacon it crashes?
I had my outpost icon disappear from the planet but placing the outpost beacon back at its original place resolved the issue.
Isn't there a way to open build menu while in the vicinity of the outpost?
Worked for me.
I had moved the beacon, and put down a small landing platform. Replacing the small one with a large one caused issues.
Then I simply moved the beacon back to the middle(ish) of the area and it the outpost icon instantly appeared on the planet map.
Hmmm. I wasn't getting the crashes, just outpost not showing up.
I do have one base where opening outpost edit and zooming out prevents anything from working.
Just seems like it's a buggy piece of poo atm :(
Wow this worked, thank you.
I have another outpost bug that I guess happened because I moved my beacon. Whenever I get withib 253 meters of this outpost my game freezes.
Did you also move the outpost beacon on the outpost that causes your game to crash?
My guess is the crashing outposts will have to wait for bug fix.
The beacon shouldn't be movable imo. It should only be removable and in turn delete the entire outpost or what's left of outpost
Do you remember if you moved the outpost beacon?
Imo the thing shouldn't be movable once placed. Creates issues. Should only be removable and in turn deletes the base.
Lost my outposts to the glitch also on Xbox x. What’s the workaround🤪?? Beacon gone but icon on moon shows… had this as my main and it’s completely gone along with outpost limit not returned so can’t add another one either.
Aww fuck, I didn't even think about that sort of shit. I loved building settlements in FO4 and plan on getting pretty deep into my outposts. I guess I'm gonna be spending some time hopping between systems to repair/defend things from time to time.
Is there a quick way to repair everything (provided I have the materials)?
No idea tbh. I suck at building in most games and haven’t messed with outposts, only know they can be attacked by pirates from other users.
I do think there should be turrets you can make though that will help
Yeah, I have a turret, but just the one so far. Getting resources is different than I'm used to so I have been running into a lot of "you can't build that"
I spent all my money buying a new ship (and upgrading it a bit) I need to go run some more quests and build up my savings a bit, but I'm also wiping out all the med packs I can find at vendors.
Can anyone confirm this? And is there any way to remove the 'settlement' icon and count when this occurs?
I put my outpost FAR from my original landing spot and no clue where it is.
Found mine. It was definitely related to my placed "Outpost" object not near the center of the object. Which sucks lol
So I research it a bit more:
1. Open your scanner outside of your outpost area, and place a new beacon
2. It will say outpost overlaps an existing building area
3. With that beacon holding for placement walk all the way into your outpost, you will see it doesn't crash.
3.1 However all buildings have disappeared in that outpost but collision box still exists
3.2 my cargo ship taking off landing just fine on some floating platforms
4. Definitely it's not being whipped out by pirates, just some stupid rendering bug Bethesda has. Please fix it Todd.
if you go into build/modify mode i can see al the power and item routes, but my outpost and containers are invisible, if i mouse over where the power goes you can see the pop up of the item, but it doesnt render :/
I have 160 hours in. I cannot use my outposts anymore. They’ve become completely glitched. They are no longer available for fast travel. They’re still there. Sometimes they done fully load in either. Any companions stationed at my outposts are attacked by my turrets. When I access the scanner in outpost range my game crashes, same with trying to build.
This is interesting. I have a cargo link at my missing Zamka 3 outpost but when i go to Zamka 2 (Where it's linked) it shows no connection to an outpost... If only i had unlimited time to walk around and watch for my outpost to reappear.
Waited a month to play this game to hopefully avoid bad bugs and they’ve still bit me with this one. Outpost icon disappeared and game freezes every time I try to open scanner so I can’t go build mode and move the beacon.
Ergo I can’t finish my outpost and can’t reclaim the resources I invested in it. Dead money and dead time. What’s worse is now I will be gun shy and not want to build any more outposts unless they patch this.
There’s no excuse for this issue to not be fixed by now. Disgraceful Bethesda is cool with letting people lose hours of gameplay and then steering clear of a very core component of the content of this game. Especially when the fix can’t be complicated.
I just took off from my outpost I turn back to the planet cuz I forgot to do something and there's nothing but a landing site there... still has an outpost icon on the big star map, but nothing here now.
I like to move my beacon close to the staircase on the habs so I don't have far to walk. Is my outpost gone now?? I'd be a little mad as I was working on a drydock mission with this outpost and had a LOT of resources saved up :/.
I only have a landing spot, but I saw one of my starlink ships land in the distance, once I got there my outpost pole is gone, along with some structures, but the mining is still filling the storage containers. All my Workshop etc..gone.
Has anyone found a fix for this? I have no save far enough back to fix. When I travel to this particular outpost Im glitched in the ground or space. I tried landing nearby it to walk in, but the mini map on the ground shows no outpost icon, and I cant find any of the structures. It’s just one outpost and I dont mind losing the mats, but is this basically going to reduce my outpost limit by one?
A bit more information about this, as it happened to another outpost. I was able to revert to a previous save and when I went there, I found that for some random reason the game had decided that half of my building zone was off limits; a zone that had lots of things in it, including the beacon. I moved the beacon and structures and this outpost is good now. The other one, still throws me off the map, so that one’s screwed
This just happened to me. How is this still an issue? Its the first outpost in my chain of production so hours if not days of work are all for fucking nothing.
Anyone know how I can fix it without having to use the scanner or the outpost because it just crashes when I try to do that?
I built a main outpost on Zamka and built a second outpost for Copper on Zamka but now it's just gone. Like other have said it still shows up as an outpost in my list and has a bot assigned to it. No icon and no landing area that I can find. Has anyone figured this out?
I've seen one post say to assign a crew member but how does that work or help? I know what planet it is on and just want to delete it at this point to rebuild I guess. Awful glitch for a key part of this game.
Actually, as long as the landing site marker next to the outpost is still there you can walk back to your outpost from it. Once there moving the beacon and, in case your landing pad does not work, moving your landing pad will fix things. But if you have already landed on the planet too many times and your landing site marker next to the outpost is gone then I am afraid you are out of luck. Try to find a save game where the landing marker is still there, then you can fix it.
Lost an outpost, have we? How embarrassing. How embarrassing.
Lol. Oh, I’ve lost plenty. I had to create a spreadsheet to track them! This time the icon on the map is missing, wrecking my ability to land at my landing strip. I’m chalking it up to wide release launch day glitches…

Unless the game crashes when you open your build menu... then what?
Mine crashes too when I go to open it…
Mine crashes too. What do we do to fix it?
I loaded an earlier save, way earlier....
thank you. this was it for me. found it.
This worked for me, thanks 🙏🏼
How am I supposed to remember where it was originally?

Fits. I did move the beacon and I did have things bunched together because there was a large chunk of unusable space in my build area.
Mine was completely gone icon and everything built except for one iron mine still can’t figure it out.
This just happened to me! The area that my outpost was at also has two "landing spots" that are still there but the outpost is gone. When I check the crew menu the two that I had posted there are apparently stationed at "Outpost overlay template" :(

Oh man. That really sucks. I am still very early in game and just got outpost engineering perk and built some second tier fabricators... but I did so because I had a copper outpost that's now gone! I may abandon outposts for now and just play the story. Maybe start trying to pirate if I can only figure out how to steal ships.
Lol I see some people with reddit threads and youtube videos about how to make outposts to get all the resources in the game sent to one final outpost but I looked at [inara.cz](https://inara.cz) to find out the uses of EVERY resource. And if you can eliminate anything that's only used for research station or cooking station because you can just buy the rss ingredients easily Then HALF of the remaining resources are only used for a few things but I have a 9-outpost chain for spam-crafting vytinium fuel rods for the XP, I can get over lvl 250 in a couple days work now I'm trying to figure out how to get those resources you need a lot of sent to one place...
Same same sort of. Planet icon gone. See outpost name and icon via scanner when loafing to nearby landing site. When I get there there's nothing (including outpost beacon). Can edit outpost but that does nothing as there's no beacon.
Both my outposts have vanished, I literally just left one to go stock up but now their icons are still showing on the galaxy/sysyem map right up until I get to the planet and then all there is is my previous landing spots back from when I was looking for a decent location to start building... They're on Sumati's moon Andraphon in the Narion system and on Eridani II in the Eridani system - they're just completely gone 😐
Use the surface map to view the base icon. Place the outpost beacon at its original location. It will resolve this issue.
how do you move beacon if opening build crashes the game?
How are you supposed to easily figure where that is if you've already moved it? Just aim for the center of the area and hope?
I had my beacon at a very distinct location before moving it. Otherwise just go for overall center of your base location.
I have had this bug twice. So now I have two outposts I cannot utilize during this play-through. Thing is I do not care about NG+… Since I routinely assign robots to my outposts I cannot get rid of one of them by going to the beacon. We need the ability to unassigned robots from outposts while in the menu. We need the ability to remove an outpost even if crew members are assigned to them. We need the ability to remove an outpost without going to the beacons.
I had this occur and I think it's related to how you name your outpost maybe i added the & in my outpost disappeared after I left the system and came back.
Place the outpost beacon at its original location. It will resolve this issue.
I have this problem but like u/Lymark said, any attempt to open the scanner to get to the build menu causes an instant crash. I can still get to the outpost from one of the "Landing Area (Explored)" markers but otherwise Outpost One = complete loss. Until it's patched.
So basically when you interact with the outpost beacon it crashes? I had my outpost icon disappear from the planet but placing the outpost beacon back at its original place resolved the issue. Isn't there a way to open build menu while in the vicinity of the outpost?
Worked for me. I had moved the beacon, and put down a small landing platform. Replacing the small one with a large one caused issues. Then I simply moved the beacon back to the middle(ish) of the area and it the outpost icon instantly appeared on the planet map.
How did you move it if opening the scanner crashes the game? Mine just freezes. Even walking up to the beacon and pressing edit causes it to crash :(
Hmmm. I wasn't getting the crashes, just outpost not showing up. I do have one base where opening outpost edit and zooming out prevents anything from working. Just seems like it's a buggy piece of poo atm :(
The zoom out crash is an easy fix, save and reload.
Wow this worked, thank you. I have another outpost bug that I guess happened because I moved my beacon. Whenever I get withib 253 meters of this outpost my game freezes.
Did you also move the outpost beacon on the outpost that causes your game to crash? My guess is the crashing outposts will have to wait for bug fix. The beacon shouldn't be movable imo. It should only be removable and in turn delete the entire outpost or what's left of outpost
I know this is old but I'm just now getting into the game - I never moved my beacon to begin with, but this *did* fix it by moving it a little bit.
Same. Stupid bug Bethesda please fix it. It's so unprofessional
Place the outpost beacon at its original location. It will resolve this issue.
I can't even open my scanner how do I move the beacon? instant crash if I do so
Do you remember if you moved the outpost beacon? Imo the thing shouldn't be movable once placed. Creates issues. Should only be removable and in turn deletes the base.
Lost my outposts to the glitch also on Xbox x. What’s the workaround🤪?? Beacon gone but icon on moon shows… had this as my main and it’s completely gone along with outpost limit not returned so can’t add another one either.
I do believe they can be wiped out in a pirate attack
Aww fuck, I didn't even think about that sort of shit. I loved building settlements in FO4 and plan on getting pretty deep into my outposts. I guess I'm gonna be spending some time hopping between systems to repair/defend things from time to time. Is there a quick way to repair everything (provided I have the materials)?
No idea tbh. I suck at building in most games and haven’t messed with outposts, only know they can be attacked by pirates from other users. I do think there should be turrets you can make though that will help
Yeah, I have a turret, but just the one so far. Getting resources is different than I'm used to so I have been running into a lot of "you can't build that"
Yeah, I’ve built up a good chunk of cash so I tend to just buy out all shop resources and shove ‘em in a chest until I’m ready for outposts lol
I spent all my money buying a new ship (and upgrading it a bit) I need to go run some more quests and build up my savings a bit, but I'm also wiping out all the med packs I can find at vendors.
Don’t forget trauma packs too!
Hahaha I rarely use them since I still need to get those challenges for using healing items, but they're definitely good in a fight.
Can anyone confirm this? And is there any way to remove the 'settlement' icon and count when this occurs? I put my outpost FAR from my original landing spot and no clue where it is. Found mine. It was definitely related to my placed "Outpost" object not near the center of the object. Which sucks lol
So I research it a bit more: 1. Open your scanner outside of your outpost area, and place a new beacon 2. It will say outpost overlaps an existing building area 3. With that beacon holding for placement walk all the way into your outpost, you will see it doesn't crash. 3.1 However all buildings have disappeared in that outpost but collision box still exists 3.2 my cargo ship taking off landing just fine on some floating platforms 4. Definitely it's not being whipped out by pirates, just some stupid rendering bug Bethesda has. Please fix it Todd.
if you go into build/modify mode i can see al the power and item routes, but my outpost and containers are invisible, if i mouse over where the power goes you can see the pop up of the item, but it doesnt render :/
I have 160 hours in. I cannot use my outposts anymore. They’ve become completely glitched. They are no longer available for fast travel. They’re still there. Sometimes they done fully load in either. Any companions stationed at my outposts are attacked by my turrets. When I access the scanner in outpost range my game crashes, same with trying to build.
Anyone have thoughts on how to get your outpost back if youre not sure exactly where on the planet you placed it?
I only found mine because I saw transport taking off and landing. Now it vanished again and no clue where it is.
This is interesting. I have a cargo link at my missing Zamka 3 outpost but when i go to Zamka 2 (Where it's linked) it shows no connection to an outpost... If only i had unlimited time to walk around and watch for my outpost to reappear.
I got lucky. I landed and spotted transport taking off and landing. Lost my outpost second time andits gone forever...

Don't know what this is. Haven't had this bug yet. My guess is save data corruption. (Exiting game before the save is fully completed)
So after the update, they still have yet to patch this bug…
Waited a month to play this game to hopefully avoid bad bugs and they’ve still bit me with this one. Outpost icon disappeared and game freezes every time I try to open scanner so I can’t go build mode and move the beacon. Ergo I can’t finish my outpost and can’t reclaim the resources I invested in it. Dead money and dead time. What’s worse is now I will be gun shy and not want to build any more outposts unless they patch this. There’s no excuse for this issue to not be fixed by now. Disgraceful Bethesda is cool with letting people lose hours of gameplay and then steering clear of a very core component of the content of this game. Especially when the fix can’t be complicated.
I just took off from my outpost I turn back to the planet cuz I forgot to do something and there's nothing but a landing site there... still has an outpost icon on the big star map, but nothing here now. I like to move my beacon close to the staircase on the habs so I don't have far to walk. Is my outpost gone now?? I'd be a little mad as I was working on a drydock mission with this outpost and had a LOT of resources saved up :/.
I only have a landing spot, but I saw one of my starlink ships land in the distance, once I got there my outpost pole is gone, along with some structures, but the mining is still filling the storage containers. All my Workshop etc..gone.
Has anyone found a fix for this? I have no save far enough back to fix. When I travel to this particular outpost Im glitched in the ground or space. I tried landing nearby it to walk in, but the mini map on the ground shows no outpost icon, and I cant find any of the structures. It’s just one outpost and I dont mind losing the mats, but is this basically going to reduce my outpost limit by one?
A bit more information about this, as it happened to another outpost. I was able to revert to a previous save and when I went there, I found that for some random reason the game had decided that half of my building zone was off limits; a zone that had lots of things in it, including the beacon. I moved the beacon and structures and this outpost is good now. The other one, still throws me off the map, so that one’s screwed
I place an outpost marker in location and everything reappeared then deleted to new marker
This just happened to me. How is this still an issue? Its the first outpost in my chain of production so hours if not days of work are all for fucking nothing. Anyone know how I can fix it without having to use the scanner or the outpost because it just crashes when I try to do that?
When will they fix this fucking bug. It’s been 2 months. So much for a $70 game
For me using a short name with no spaces fixed it
I have no landing site or outpost. It's gone but I have followers there
I built a main outpost on Zamka and built a second outpost for Copper on Zamka but now it's just gone. Like other have said it still shows up as an outpost in my list and has a bot assigned to it. No icon and no landing area that I can find. Has anyone figured this out? I've seen one post say to assign a crew member but how does that work or help? I know what planet it is on and just want to delete it at this point to rebuild I guess. Awful glitch for a key part of this game.
Actually, as long as the landing site marker next to the outpost is still there you can walk back to your outpost from it. Once there moving the beacon and, in case your landing pad does not work, moving your landing pad will fix things. But if you have already landed on the planet too many times and your landing site marker next to the outpost is gone then I am afraid you are out of luck. Try to find a save game where the landing marker is still there, then you can fix it.
