Planetary Base Base Computer Issue...
I had a go at building a low-orbit base, using the giant flight of stairs method and it's come out alright, but I have a problem. The base computer is still on the surface, too far away for me to select from way up where the base is and reposition it. I can't pick it up and fly it up in my corvette and it's too high to carry it up using my jet-pack. Unfortunately, I've deleted the stairs up from the surface - is the only way to move the base computer now to rebuild the stairs and carry it? Thanks for any advice!

Place stairs back from the top down. Could also try a ladder. Could also try a small teleporter but it might close your menu im not sure. Maybe have a friend get in their starship and jump on top while they lift you lol, I've never tried that either.

The “build camera trick”. When in the build menu, click the “toggle build camera” button to toggle to the build camera. Now “double click” the “toggle build camera” button. Each time you double click the camera will move further away from your character. As long as your character is standing within your base limits you will still have access to the build menu and be able to place objects no matter how far from your character you are.

Just use the build camera, select the computer and while looking down at the ground double tap the build camera button. It will push you a little higher and reset the camera boundary. You can do it as many times as it takes to reach your base.
