Base Computer & Claiming a Base

Base Computer & Claiming a Base

Establishing a base in No Man's Sky provides a safe haven, a place to store resources, and a hub for crafting and research. The Base Computer is the cornerstone of any base, allowing you to claim a plot of land and begin construction. Understanding how to place and utilize the Base Computer is the first step to creating your own sanctuary among the stars.

To claim a base, you need to deploy a Base Computer. This can be done on any planet where you have permission to build. Once placed, the Base Computer marks your territory, preventing others from building within a certain radius and allowing you to save your progress. It also serves as the central point for your base's power grid and allows you to upload your base to the network for other players to visit.

• Deploying the Base Computer: Access your build menu and select the Base Computer. Place it on a suitable location on a planet.
• Claiming Territory: The Base Computer automatically claims the surrounding area, preventing other players from building nearby.
• Saving Progress: Interacting with the Base Computer saves your current game progress.
• Powering Your Base: The Base Computer acts as a central hub for your base's power grid. Connect power sources to it or to components linked to it.
• Uploading Your Base: You can upload your completed base to the No Man's Sky network, allowing other players to visit and explore it.

The Base Computer also allows you to manage base permissions, deciding who can build or edit within your claimed territory. This is particularly useful in multiplayer scenarios.
