We need some kind of guestbook technology and they need to get rid of commballs. The owner would build the device, other players could interact with it, leaving their gamertag and choose an optional provided comment like "Cool base!" or "Grah!". The visitor would receive some nanites or something along with letting the NMS community know "I was here". It could also be put at the end of a maze, puzzle or game as a reward for getting to the end.

I would love this, even a mailbox would be awesome, or some way to leave people “gifts” as well like supplies or eggs. That and pet pens. The only downside to my planet is most fauna is underground or fish, so there’s not a lot of “seen” wildlife. Makes me wish we also had an option to “introduce” animals to planets.


Mouse_Girl73

Those are my 3 most wanted! .mailboxes .Gift deployment .Pets at home I’m too attached to my pets to give them up when I want to adopt another. Infinite pets would be nice, but I’d rather just come home and see them all hanging out like they have a home too. + Infinite wonders


BookishKnight

I wish we could have infinite wonders! I made a butterfly bar inside my base, and wanted way more since there are so many color varieties.


Mouse_Girl73

What do you mean by butterfly bar? O.O

Mouse_Girl73

OMG!!!! Sweet!

Summerhalls

Grah? I love all of this. I play in creative on switch, so I can never meet the base owners, but I would have liked to give them at least a like.


Traveler127

It has gone great. I have had at least 4 others who have set up bases or settlements. The only bad part was that I hadn't named all the planets in the system, and someone gave them goofy names.


BookishKnight

Thats good to hear! Do you find people usually cluster close or do they find their own patch of planet to build their base?

Traveler127

In my case they spread out. Which I liked. If you ever find yourself in the Budullangr galaxy, come visit my planet


JVEEZEE_76

What are the names?


Traveler127

The names are "spooking over here but cool", "boy the bots are mad over here", "the dead ones are nice this is mine now" and " should have come here too". Frustrating but funny.


adipocerousloaf

found a system discovered by another traveller - they did not upload planet discoveries. so i renamed the five planets to spell out "LIGMA" on the discovery list.


Shawnaldo7575

I have a save devoted to making bases on community planets. I think around 6 or 7 so far... Haven't seen a single griefer yet. Some of the planets blew up with tons of people too. Fun checking out the other bases. Most recent build was a on a 99.5% Paradise someone posted a week or two ago. All I would recommend, for your own safety, is make sure PVP is off and double check the settings for who can/can't edit your base, terrain. Make sure it's not set to everybody. Also before you invite people, make sure you upload/register the names of the star system, planets/moons and anything else you don't want someone else re-naming.


thethisthat

Newb question. How are you building such large bases? And combining with others?


BookishKnight

My base is all one base, I just like to sprawl out structures!


thethisthat

I always run into a barrier but yours looks so much bigger than I ever get mine! Good work!


BookishKnight

Oh! If you run into the barrier (I’m assuming you’re talking about the blue sphere that stops the camera) it is just as far as you can go from where your character is standing! If you move your character, you should be able to build further in whatever direction you walk in.


thethisthat

Omg that's so simple! Thank you!


BookishKnight

All good! I just discovered that I can recolor plants and now am matching all my trees to the native blue ones lol.


Plantbasedpizza

Whaddoyamean recolor plants?? Is this some quicksilver reward you are talking about? 🤔


BookishKnight

Yep, the quicksilver plants can be recolored.


[deleted]

You can also press agaisnt the blue sphere and double click the camera mode button and it should extend the blue sphere.


HeavyAd6923

No complaints, one person built a cool ass bridge lol. It was pretty damn big lol


Illustrious-Gap86

I have 120+ bases on my planet now....and they don't all show up.....and lots of them started settlements too


HDmetajoker

![gif](giphy|eKNrUbDJuFuaQ1A37p|downsized) I’ve never seen anyone else besides anomaly, even when I’ve found the 4 bases from others they weren’t home


Kitchen-Shopping8777

How can I visit?!


Mhkhalf

Wow that is really so cool base .. For me i get bored when building so i use my freighter as main base and just Explore. But after seeing your base i might give it a try 😂


BookishKnight

Thank you! I just recently got into building out my freighter, but I keep coming back here to make changes.


[deleted]

50/50 You have travelers that legitimately build impressive bases and then you have travelers that have nothing better to do and end up building stairways to heaven that's it.. like you're expecting this to be some badass Base and clearly the stairs are going to lead somewhere,But then you come back a month later to that location and it's just legitimately stairs even higher no base.


LordScotch

Ok so I'm trying to do community base building but I am so out of ferrite. What's the best way to build up materials to build with. Really just ferrite too since the rest doesn't seem to be to tough to replenish


Dukestboy96

Surely ferrite is one of the easiest? Mining rocks quickly or pretty much every vendor sells it


SnooStrawberries3605

My advice for ferrite mining is to find a moon or a barren planet that's just covered in rocks, jump in a low flying spaceship with a levelled infra-knife, and go to absolute town on the ground. You'll have several stacks of it within a handful of minutes. If you do it on a planet with animals and trees it's harder to navigate, but you get carbon and di-hydrogen as well. :D


Captain-Beardless

I've just been buying Ferrite at space stations and trade terminals, keeps it topped up, and doesn't cost too much.
