Use camera mode when building, it helps. I am not even sure if weather or being underwater affects the player when using the camera mode for building. If it does, be at the surface (or inside) when activating it.

I believe the camera mode renders you immune to environmental effects while in camera mode.
(
Not sure about when in multiplayer though, as time does not pause while using the general camera & therefore may be the same for the construction camera)
Typically, I stand indoors near an open exit anyway just so if I get distracted, the environment doesn’t get me.

Yeah, I figured that, but only after a while…

Okay So I had this question posted some time back in the forum. Here’s how i solved my crisis:
-
The verbiage says you can get it from crashed freighters. I raided a dozen or so but no luck there.
-
They do come in frigate missions, but that’s to few and far between.
-
Fastest Way is to raid a Freighter group, but only the freighters themselves. If you attack the frigates or the Free floating Cargo Pods, each attack nets a negative standing with the system faction. But you can raid an entire freighter with only one faction standing loss; and easily make up to 10 Modules per freighter. Just buy them gifts afterwards to make up for it.

Soooo… wouldn’t you want it to look good at night rather than by day?

I’m too lazy to rig up power for lighting so it’s never gonna look good at night

I bet you haven’t seen one of these freighters before…
(No, it’s not really new - it’s a standard Star Destroyer, but the middle part has failed to render. Amusing, though.)

I recently located to the Hilbert Dimension in my permadeath save and my first discovery has been a lot of fun. @jedidia you’ll like this one. Given it is a location most won’t be able to access I’ve been a bit indulgent and taken a lot of pics to share.
On the extreme toxic world of Luise G12 lays the remains of an original Atlas Rises Era freighter wreck. It features the circular bow and ‘suspended’ cargo pods we would all remember from the first freighter wrecks, as opposed to the variety of wrecks from the Next era with the cargo rooms.
Identified as the MV Settsu Hauler, an apparent victim of the Sentinel Wars and the summoning of 16, it provides a striking site for wreck diving. .
Rising out of the toxic mist, the Settsu Hauler lays torn open across a shallow lake, providing pristine diving conditions so long as you have the appropriate safety gear for an extreme toxic world. Naturally excavated, the hull has become home to all manner of plants, squids, clams and even a surprisingly docile Abyssal worm…just don’t get too close.
By day you can explore the depths in a brilliant tangerine glow, weaving around the mangled superstructure and undamaged cargo pods.
Or by night the twisted ruins take on a darker more foreboding hue, with the dark shadows contrasting brilliantly as you explore by torchlight.
The only excavations have been a small scraping to locate the log but otherwise the site is untouched. The cargo included polyfibre and acid but the rest of the pods are unopened.
Should you wish to visit and are in the Hilbert Dimension, you’ll find the coordinates below.
Safe travels.

I think all sunken freighters are, actually.

Haven’t seen this configuration before.
Exactly what I would need to stop bouncing off the top of the one that I have.
