Okay- Hello all. So, I completed the milestone saying I had the base computer plans- but can’t build it, looks like when I land in my corvette the system thinks I’m “in” it, even if I walk a few dozen clicks away. Want to build a base- what am I doing wrong? (Btw-also says I have to place the portable refiner “must place in corvette”??) Thanks ---

Welcome to the community! Yes, the game sees the Corvette as a base. So it seems, from what you described, you will need to walk a good distance away from your Corvette or, call in a regular ship instead. You can walk while holding the Base Computer until it turns green. That will show you how far away you need to be. Also, I moved you to the correct topic so we can get more thoughts on this problem. Playing the main story will be interesting after building a Corvette. Normally, a person would have already done all of the missions before reaching the point of Corvette building. There may be a series of conflicts due to you already having a Corvette. As for the refiner, the game is walking you thru a tutorial, more or less, so it wants you to build a refiner so it can show you how to use one. It should be possible to set it anywhere and have it count but I would put it in my actual base just to be sure. ---

In the top corner when in build mode near a corvette it should display a button prompt for changing to regular build mode and vice versa. Can’t remember if top left or top right, no need to move away. Welcome to the forum 🙂 ---

So this is something I have not noticed since I have not build a base with a Corvette in tow. I don’t actually like Corvettes for planet exploration because of getting up and walking out and the gravity shift when entering and exiting. I have all I need on my Freighter which has been and will continue to be my main base. ---

Yeeep. That did it. Changed to expedition provided explorer ship, landed away from corvette and “bam💥” building a base. ---

Cool! Feel free to share your build in the Base Building topic. > [@Base Building](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/base-building/8845): > > Continued on from [Base Building](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/base-building/8264) (Worlds Update) With all the Hullabaloo over these new flyable bases it’s been hard to get back around to building a static one. Built a little scrap collectors hut on my favourite scrap heap of a planet. ---
