No Man's Sky: Easy to get stuck in freighter walls with a teleporter #190

Closed lgarron closed 1 year ago

lgarron commented 1 year ago

When I first set up teleporters in my freighter, I set them up in corners on the long end of a hallway. Unfortunately, this resulted in me getting stuck in a wall with no way out. Given that I was performing freighter construction, I was afraid of losing a bunch of design decisions I had just implemented.

Other seem to have run into this issues and have workarounds involving chairs or benches. However, I had not researched how to construct these yet.

It turns out that the the game has a dedicated button for this: Options → General → Reset position in freighter. This is definitely handy, but I never would have found it on my own and it probably took me quite a while to find this solution on the internet.

Ideally, the game would avoid placing beginners in this situation. Another option might be to detect a player who keeps treading over the same narrow few meters for 10 minutes, and at least once offer them some sort of "Stuck in your freighter? Here's how to get unstuck!" message.
