Fixing beam down location.

Well I dont know about you all, but many times I find a really nice spot a planet where I want to build my base, only to realize that if I do build it there I would have to walk 10 mins to get there again. It would be nice if we had an item similar to the distress beacon that we could set the location of where we would beam down to. This would make base building more feasible for anywhere on the planet.

It should be pretty simple yet I believe this would help base building quite a bit.

 

I really like this idea. it would be very usefull for many thing

 

Yes I really want this. I found a nice glitch castle on a planet but its a 5 minute walk from beam down. I'd hate to have to deconstruct it and move it piece by piece.

 

Im sure everyone wants this. Could simply be a craftable item, like a beacon you plant in the ground.

 

This is a great idea - would vote for this all day long!! Infact i feel like this could make/break the game in regards to building or having home planet base.

My only concern for this would be how to handle this on online servers as this could make it very easy for griefers to troll

 

I'm actually very surprised that this isn't even a thing yet. It has to have annoyed the devs during they're own testing. We need this in the game. However, I think it needs to be kept above ground (the way beaming currently works)

 

I would agree with you Woodogg, this is not meant to be used to beam underground but just so the planet becomes more accessible.

 

this is planned

 

Link or reference? Haven't heard about this yet so hopefully it is official

 

Want this. +1

 

Sorry, i tried but i cannot backtrack to find where i read that, it could be in this forum or reddit, but i'm 99,9% sure it was from one of the devs.
It's my fault to say without the source, you gonna have to trust me on that

 

Ok no issue - will just wait with my fingers crossed!

 

I say it can be placed some level below the ground as well. Say, we want it to be placed in buildings that we made to beam straight into our room or something.

 

I think another item should be used for transporting into rooms. A ground level teleporter that takes you to a set location anywhere on the map, even below ground if you have the linked network. I think the current teleporter wont let you beam down or up if you have anything above you so it should stay that way.

 

I like the idea of ground level teleporters. Perhaps such a thing could be implemented to allow the user to create a sort of "smaller" structure that would then allow them to beam to various locations on the planet they have visited.
