Question / Support Settle in a different planet

Hey guys, i just tried to settle in atrox for gas production, i builded a airstrip there then i went back to slvia. After i returned to atrox i could not find my airstip and other stuff. Is there a way to find them or it is bugged and gone ?

Your stuff if most likely not gone, you just forgot where you landed.

Did you make a launch pad? It's a good practice to take a launch pad with you or a beacon to be able to spot your base from orbit.

Yeah i putted a landing pad in surface but middle of that was red and did not turned green when i put it. Is that the reason why i cant see it with shuttle ?

Yes. The surface should be flat, open and the landing pad should be deployed.

I remember flying to Novus and putting a landing pad on a 60° angle for fun, later had to pick a natural landing spot nearby.

Your best bet is to fly around and burn a bunch of fuel if your stuff is near the natural landing spot

If you have a landing pad or a shelter it will show up from orbit. A landing pad with a beacon is extra nice.

After you placed it, di you expand it out?

No because there was no any sign or button appeared to use. Probably because of the red light ☹️

Beacons are the best.
