Building a low orbit base in No Man's Sky (old method - see link in description for a faster way)

greetings Travelers in this vid I'd like to share with you the things that I have learned building my low orbit base check the links below for more details about the actual build this is just to establish a low orbit base so the first step is to find the right planet in the right system this is actually probably the longest step because it's a low orbit base we want to have a nice background of stars and within this system you should build on an airless planet might take a while to find the perfect system but I think it's worth it for the view as you can see here even within the atmosphere there are no clouds or Sky obstructing your view of the Stars if you're not using creative mode and you need power the next step is to find an em hotspot on the planet's surface preferably at a low point on the terrain when you found a good one build a safe Beacon to Mark the Spot the EM energy actually travels in an invisible cylinder all the way up to the top of the atmosphere foreign so now let's look at the technique that I used to build a base computer in low orbit a quick shout out to beeblebum with his video which is how I learned to use this technique so the basis of this technique is as soon as you activate a new base computer it's live even during the zoom out animation so what we want to try and do is build a landing pad couple of seconds after the animation starts to zoom back down to the planet just a couple of things to make sure of before we do this is that you have the required materials to build a landing pad and that you are in free placement mode you might want to practice finding the landing pad on the building menu before we do this so I deleted the previous base computer and built a new one and let's give it a try [Music] one two and build [Music] so remember not at the very top but a couple of seconds after you've started falling back down to the planet so there we can see The Landing Pad way up there now is a good time to make a new restore point either in your ship or at the save point and then reload just to make sure you haven't put it too high if the landing pad vanishes after the reload just delete the base computer and try again [Music] so get into your ship and fly up to The Landing Pad and land on it so if you open your build menu you can see that all the build parts are still available but just remember you're at the outer limits of the original base computer down on the surface so what we want to do is establish a new base at this altitude to do this we'll use the exocraft pads and geobase to LeapFrog outside of the current base limits so build up and away from The Landing Pad fly up and check to see if you've reached beyond the Baseline nope so let's try again as there's only a one per base limit for these you'll have to delete them as you go or alternately use a different one each time you can probably notice that I'm building outputs more than upwards just because we're so close to the outer build limit of the planet I don't want to go too high another nope so we'll try again [Music] okay success or it looks like success but in actual fact it's not [Music] because although we're outside the build limit of our base we still are too close to build another base but we're getting close okay let's try again okay so we're able to claim our base this time so before we go any further we want to make sure that we are still within the limits of the planet's atmosphere so we want to build another Landing Pad summon our ship make a restore point reload [Music] okay well The Landing Pad is still there so we're all good to keep going so after moving the new base computer onto the landing pad we can go ahead and delete all the exocraft Bays at the base down below [Music] foreign [Music] while it's okay to delete the base you should not delete the save Beacon because that marks our EV hotspot [Music] foreign [Music] deletion animation it's a good chance for you to get an idea of how far away you are now from the EV hotspot because we're going to have to make our way back over there so we can tap into the energy of course if you're planning to use solar or the creative mode you don't need to worry about this step so please skip to this time code for the last step to check the height limit for your base get back over the EM hotspot I essentially played Marco Polo with the EM generators foreign by checking the energy output of each generator I could see if I was getting closer or not so I built out in each Direction and placed a generator at the farthest point and checked the readings and whichever had the highest energy output I'd rinse and repeat from there foreign 92 is pretty good I reckon that's as good as I'll get it so now I'll build another landing pad and this will be the center point for my new orbital base [Music] so we're getting close now all we have to do is call in the ship go and retrieve my base computer and bring it back and then I can go ahead and delete the other old landing pad platforms [Music] just keep in mind that if you do move your base computer Center of your base is still where you originally built that base computer [Music] so the final step is that we want to check the maximum height that we can build before we hit the outer build limit of the planet so an easy way we can do this is to build a wall five high and then we can use a floor plate to mark it then create a restore point reload and see if it's still there [Music] as you can see I had to go quite High but every time you do this make a new restore point and then reload it and eventually you'll hit the top you build one tall tower immediately that's fine but just remember that hidden objects are not actually gone they're still there they're just invisible so they will add to your build count foreign [Music] ly we can see the top part of that Tower is missing now so that means that is our maximum height build so anything under that is perfectly fine so that's what I learned when I built my low orbit base I hope it was helpful and good luck with yours thanks very much for watching [Music]
