Question: I love that the Discovery Menu now informs you of the area where missing animals are found, but has anyone concluded what it means by Base? I am not going to have a base on every planet. Does it mean any structure on the planet or maybe the animals have a “base” ? 😄 ---

We’re they swooping into the water by any chance? Lately I’ve seen a lot of tiny flocks of birds swoop into the water and back up. I figure it’s just a pathfinding issue but it’s a nice accidental behaviour to witness. I keep expecting to see little fishies in their beaks. Speaking of weird glitchy creature behaviour, has anyone had an issue with underwater crabs since beyond landed? Might be a console or PSVR thing but they either go flying through the ground when you try to scan them, or get whisked away topside and disappear into a hill or they just outright vanish. Usually on first encounter, second time you happen upon them on same planet they seem to behave normal. ---

# Crownememium — The Diplo I was searching for a crashed starship to repair and call my own, and what should I come upon but a lonely Gek needing help to repair his own stranded situation. He survived the crash. I thought to myself, “why don’t I help him”. And as I was doing so, I saw an amazing creature. The Diplo was staring at us as I was repairing the starship. ![20190901172751_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/3/e/3ee2df158c61b4d24e7324487b69d8833f01b8b9.jpeg) ![20190901172904_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/d/f/df41eb53534f985d4899ef2ad63d34bde116fb9a.jpeg) As I spotted the Diplo, I thought I would go observe it. 👀 ![20190901153525_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/a/a/aa6ed8faa21aab1f574264c8b87eac9704e456ed.jpeg) ![20190901153630_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/0/9/0908e3ad0398059dffc834b99211bb510f651268.jpeg) ⬆ _ **Portal Address.
