I was thinking about this while doing some Nexus quests this weekend. Anyone happen to have a wonderful peaceful planet with your base, only to have it overrun by temporary bases or hundreds of communication beacons?
I'm still scouring for my "home" and wondered if it was a possibility.

I’d like to offer a perspective.
This is actually no different than real life. We like to share with like minded people to connect and to enjoy together. At the same time we all have the not-in-my-backyard mind set, not wanting the undesirable in our neighborhood. I remember the first time I saw a ship landed near my base. I was like who the f was that?! Turned that was just an NPC. We are all somewhere on the spectrum of oversharing-therefore-over-exposing and hiding-but-being-alone.
Yes, most of us have dealt with undesirables even in a small game like this. People who grief us. People who block our bases. People who lock out traveler graves. They are here.
But this galaxy is huge but it doesn’t belong at anyone of us. Neither do systems, planets, even areas on a planet, just like neighborhoods, districts, towns, cities, states, even countries. As we traverse through this galaxy and the next 255, maybe we can take the time to learn how to welcome neighbors and to be good neighbors ourselves?
I love this perspective.
No but never reveal a cool ship in your home planet if you dont want bases on bases called 'cool ship spawn' etc
Ah yes. Ran into this hunting multi-tools. Someone made a teleporting "puzzle" over the sentinel tower it was at.
You can always report a base to remove it from your iteration. Keep this in mind if you ever get trapped in a griefer base.
Note that sometimes there are several bases one on top of the other, so you have to keep removing. I've seen this at some expedition waypoints - half a dozen bases superimposed on one another.
Is there an "easy way" of removing or do I have to take screenshots every time ?
Even worse are those aholes that build bases to make your game crash. Happened while I tried to get a sweet sentinel multitool, someone built a massive base just called "nope" that would block the mutlitool and make my game crash. Thankfully reporting the bases makes them de-spawn
The only populated planets i encounter are the ones that get targetted by weekend Nexus missions. It's silly to fly around in a wide empty gaxaly and then have one planet with 93 bases on it.
I have never ran into another players base aside from on those missions. Is it possible to remove another players base?
You can remove it from your iteration by pointing at a part (or interact with the base computer) and choosing 'report base'
Good to know
There is a “report base” function from your quick menu that will remove the base for you
I feel like that would be HIGHLY unlikely.
Cool question
I haven’t seen it, but I wouldn’t have a problem with it. All the traffic would probably die down soon after the weekend missions are over. I like to explore in solitude, but it’s also fun to run into other players. I just wouldn’t want to be in a crowded system all the time.
I stick to the edges of the galaxy when I build bases to limit the likelihood of that happening. I feel the closer to the center of the galaxy you go the more likely you will run into other folks. Also I tend to head to other galaxies as soon as I can to establish bases there so I am not in the more populated galaxies. If I want to find people I can always head to hub space or the Anomaly.
I ran into a player base camp today called the Skyscraper Project.
Then I stepped off onto the grass and plummeted below the earth for the next 5 minutes :/
Firstly, some of you have to do a better job of finding your perfect planet. If you insist on staying in Euclid, warp many, many units up or down, just get away from the same plane as everyone else. There's plenty of undiscovered systems in Euclid. I don't even play in Euclid. I travel between 14 system, including 256, the one you need help getting to. I just prefer to play alone.
I have not that I know of. I built two bases in Euclid, one on the planet I spawned on originally (as close to coordinate 0,0 as I could find a mesa, changed by the time I returned), and one at a portal so I could buff my Living Ship. Guess I need to merge those two.
Don't build in Euclid. Or go way above / below plane, or far out away from center, if it bothers you.
Oh, it's never happened to me, but I was more curious about it.
I do not care as long as it's my planet and I named it. Please build on my planet and I will build on yours in return. I want tons of people. Please populate lol.
Yeah I was sent to a plant this weekend that had hundreds of bases on it and I definitely set down a BC. Not going to have time to build there yet but always cool to find a very populated planet!!
I feel the same way. I haven't found a planet I like yet to begin building on, but I totally want the planet, and maybe even the system, to be discovered by me.
I'll get there, but visitors would always be welcome!
