No Man’s Sky: How to Build a Base - Ultimate Guide

Having a strong base on a planet of your choice could give you advantages in case you find yourself in trouble when playing No Man’s Sky. Being an important part of the game, we have brought you a series of directions that will help you when you want to build a base in No Man’s Sky, so you should take a look.

Building a base in No Man’s Sky is probably something different for the new update. Well, you'll notice that things don't work the same way they used to. You should know that No Man’s Sky offers you several different ways to build a base, although each one starts with a base computer, which you will need to find or create from scratch.

STEP 1: land on the planet of your choice. To do this you can make use of a signal amplifier, which will help you find a habitable base, which will have a base computer, although you also have the option to build one from scratch in the place you want.

STEP 2 (OPTIONAL): In case you have decided to start No Man’s Sky again, you will be presented with a small tutorial on how to build a base, where you will have to build a rudimentary log cabin using a base computer. On top of that, you will receive a base building tutorial. To compile, you must press the d-pad up and enter the compilation menu. Once there you can place objects and build as you wish.

To do this you must first land on any planet, leave your ship and press up on the d-pad to select portable technology, then move to the base computer. To do this you will need 40 Chromatic Metal. Once this is done, create the base computer and build.

Collect saved technology to access all available construction materials in No Man's Sky. Make use of the plane analyzer to unlock them. To get the rescue technology you must find buried technology modules using your Analysis Viewer, when you have them, you must build a Blueprint Analyzer using 20 magnetized Ferrite and a carbon nanotube.

With the update of No Man's Sky, the bases that the players had built were lost. However, Hello Games has allowed the inherited bases to be restored to the habitable bases found in nature, so players can move to where they wanted, so it is not so bad news after all.

To do this you must first go to a planet of your choice, build a signal amplifier, enter the navigation data and then select "Search habitable base"

To be able to locate the base, then you must walk to the Base Computer housed inside, login and select "Restore base" and ready now your base will be built from that point.

Luckily No Man's Sky allows you to use teleportation portals at space stations to be able to return to your base.
