Featherbed

Good news! I was able to find the zone on the spawn planet that corresponded to my market zone on Sanctuary moon I took the shuttle back to Sanctuary moon I hiked to the location of my crashed ship and compacted it I hiked another 25km to my base and repaired my ship I have started mining and building I am a happy colonist now

The discord has been helpful this morning. I discovered that I can transport back to Alioth and "teleport between districts" to get a better location to transport to Sanctuary with. From that point I should end up about 30k away from my 'base'. I was also told that compacted ships in your inventory don't get lost when you die. I'll need to pack a spare

Started playing the game last night Went through the long tutorial Walking through the startup with friends on Discord chat Got a transport from the starting planet to the Sanctuary moon Friends flew me to a spot near where their bases are Friend trades me a small craft for my speeder so I can travel faster (thanks!) Plant my base. I have a home! Tutorial says it's time to gather ore. I gather ore Tutorial says it's time to sell ore. I start flying to the nearest market thingy Try to chat with friends while flying Unfortunate key binding for push-to talk I crash I respawn on starter planet I find my way back to the Sanctuary moon I am something like .7 SU away from my base It's literally on the other side of the moon I have no ship and no possessions F I'm going to have to RUN for days
