    Sometimes when I (And I suppose other people, though I haven't seen anything on others having this problem.) jump to a new planet, I have to use the Teleporter multiple times, as when I use it it just teleports me back onto the Pad on the ship. Usually just goes away after 2-4 tries and everything goes back to normal, but I was playing earlier and it ended up happening 7 times before the teleporter seemed to sort itself out. Perhaps I'm just trying to teleport too early, but I doubt that as I always wait until the ship is stopped in relation to the planet(s) before doing that in order to avoid any bugs/deadly consequences. Other than that, game works perfectly fine. Looking forward the the coming updates.

    This happens to me quite often, but with the starting planet.

    This is also happening quite a bit on my starting planet. It eventually takes me down, but sometimes takes 5 or 6 tries.

    I've been getting this too recently. On the planets that don't want to teleport me down on the first try, it also loops the beam-down sound a couple of times when i finally go down to the planet, as if freezing for a second. I never had that mini game-freezing effect before, and don't have it on planets that actually let me down in one go.

    yea my brother gets this. i got him a copy of the game, and i had not had any issues with it, and walked by him playing and trying to beam down and it took like 6 tries. not sure what causes it, because i have made many characters and never had this problem.
    also worth noting, we do not play on the same computer. so maybe that is a factor in getting the bad beam down planets? you guys say it is only your starter.

    I get it almost all the time on my FORMER starter. Before the character reset, i kept the coordinates for my old starter planet, the one I called home (after sitting stuck on that rock until I beat the UFO and finally learned how to travel through space), just so I could return to it, land and trees intact, before it had been brutally ravaged for space-faring resources.

    It's not my starter planet for my character, but it was a starter planet (in perturbed koala)... If that counts at all.

    so, it used to be your starter before the wipe, you kept the coords and went back and you have gotten the teleport bug on both characters? or just the new one?
    because if its on both characters then that means the bug is likely in particular planets, and not just some random thing. and that you just happen to get one of these bugged planets as your starter sometimes.

    I never got it before the reset at all. I did not get it on my current starter planet, nor most of my planets I explore to (2 in about 20 or 30? excluding the home planet). I do get it on my new reset character on the home planet. The thing is, every planet I get it on, I always have it on that planet - it's not a one-time thing that happens randomly for every planet, but every time on specific planets. (eg every time on planet A, every time on planet B, but absolutely never on planets C, D, E, F, or G)

    yea i get it. so that means it probably has something to do with the characters. if you are getting it on that planet on one character and not on the other, it has to be something to do with that, right?

    Well the other character was in a previous version of beta, and no longer exists. The new character was created after the reset, and so could not exist at the same time as the old one. That does bring up a point though - I should make other characters and bring them to the planet as well, and see if they also have the problem on landing.

    Updated: Both a glitch character and apex have the problem going to their starter planets, and to the one with the recorded coordinates. It might be something about how it generates / picks starter planets?

    yea maybe, i have so far made 1 glitch, several avians, and a floran and have never had this problem. but i suppose it could happen on my next one. my brother got it on his first character, which was a glitch. he hasnt made any others.
