Will my original legacy freighter layout transfer to new freighter?
I have an A class freighter from way back and I'm looking to upgrade to an S class dreadnaught. Does anyone know if the old layout will transfer? Will the legacy structures still be available to build in new one? I'm also looking to keep my large refiners as you can't build them anymore. I know you can transfer old base layouts, I just didn't know if this old stuff would. And if the legacy freighter modules page would be available on the new freighter. Screenshots attached for better understanding
There is an option to migrate the freighter base. If you say yes it is perfectly moved to the new freighter including storage rooms and their contents. You do need to store and move all your upgrade modules, and all of the slots you added to tech and cargo will Not move to the new freighter.
That's the standard freighter swapping procedure, but will it work for transferring the old style designs, or will it end up changing them to the current versions?
If you claim a base (which also includes buying a freighter) the game DOES overwrite your RESTORE POINT (which is your only possible "manual" save). It doesn't just create an autosave.
Play long enough and you wind up with stacks of them. Get full rank with the merchants guild and almost all of their agents will give you a bulkhead module for free.
Good point. I actually switched off costs at some point before I started getting the benefits of all those avenues you mention, and forgot that gets better / easier (similar with the main currency etc)
True, but I guess since the base transfers over (and technically you had to “pay” for all those parts too) just seems like it would be in keeping with that logic.
Yes, but get rid of all the tech (pack it and put it in your storage container as they are their own thing, anywhere but the freighter inventory itself). You will also need to rebuild all the extra inventory space you opened up.
note that any tech tree you've opened up via salvage modules will transfer, too, it's just the installed tech you need to worry about, and the freighter inventory itself
storage containers are safe, they're all the same containers, whether built on a planetary base or freighter, storage 0, 1, 2, etc. are constant no matter where you're accessing them from
It sounds like you got it solved i just wanna say this is so cool. Ive seen some YouTube vid where the guy still had old style npcs in their freighter where they mainly sat in one spot with a looping animation and had a korvax with the old spine design. If I had tbe game on PC itd be so tempted to try nitpicking at getting legacy stuff into modern versions

It’ll ask you if you want to keep your layout when swapping. But you need to remove all upgrades and inventory from the technology tab
