It looks like the game tried to spawn the enemies, but the location looks a little off. This is the third time I have started a new game to test this issue so it is repeatable.

Thanks to our extremely active builders community more and more vessels and bases are being build for the Colonists, Warlord, Pirates and other main factions. Some of these, like Tresari, ARC, Wastelanders, Skaar are specifically tailored to be some kind of "sub faction" but, as we currently do not have a "sub faction" system in place, are added to the main factions.

Question remains: if someone puts some efforts in the builds, is there a chance to make the faction a legit, independent,...

I’ve returned to Empyrion after a few years, since my return (about 15hrs or so) I’ve realised I’ve accomplished sweet bugger all other then have the makings of a small base with walls and roof, some solar panels and a small constructor.

I thought to myself, where did all that time go. Most of it was trial and error with building, blocks falling off roofs etc, rocket drones smashing my two beginner turrets, getting poisoned and not having the mata to craft the antidote.

Right now I’ve just...

I have always loved the scenario of the protagonists disguising themselves as the enemy to get inside an enemy base or ship to gather information, steal an item, rescue someone, or eliminate a specific person, with no suspicion until they attack or are caught doing something. I would love for that to be in this game.

What do you think?

Randomly NPCs will all stop walking around or attacking. If i reload sometimes they will start moving again but within a few minutes they all stop walking or attacking again. This applies to all NPCs, animals, enemies, friendlies.

UPDATE: I restarted the game and again started a new survival mode. I have not had an issue with NPCs for 2 days. It seems to have fixed itself.
Though i still have to restart every twice an hour because external view engine trail and sound stops working...

I've never bothered to use teleporters. This will be the first scenario where I do - 1.5 playing through the new missions.

I've gone to Sanctuary when instructed to use the teleporter up to the orbital station to advance the next mission. The destination list is empty.

Built my own at base. Same thing. Empty.

What gives?

You fixed Sanctuary base now so it is a Polaris station, but when I talk to the guard he gives me an appointment and tells me to use the lift., but the lift doesn't work now because it says its another faction lift.

Upon first starting up a new game and following the mission quests at the very beginning, there comes very quickly (within the first day or 2 of landing) a mission to interact with a teleporter. When it explodes and 2 enemies show up, the next mission is entitled "Fight" with the objective of defeating 2 drones that show up. However, if you are just following the first initial mission, you were sent to a crashed ship where you find a pistol and just a few rounds of ammo. That ammo is not...
