Player Stations Introduction

Player stations can be built by placing a Station Foundation (Inside Safezone) or a Station Foundation (Outside Safezone). These must be within or outside of Origin's Safezone respectively. Player stations provide the user with a 1,000 meter Safezone which can be entered freely by the creator and anybody who is permitted.

Creating a Station

To place a player made station, you first need to research the foundation block. Go to your research tab (K) and find the "Advanced" tab. You will need to research the predecessor, the Advanced Crafting Bench, before being allowed to research the station foundation block. If you wish to make a foundation outside of the safe zone, you will need to get to the bottom of the research tree to unlock the Station Foundation (Outside Safezone) research. This will take significantly more research.

The player made station MUST be at least 1,000 meters (1km) away from another player station and at least 30,000 meters (30km) away from an Origin station.

Once the station has been placed, the button on the projector has been pressed and there is no errors in chat, it will begin a ten minute timer. Once the ten minute timer is complete, the Station's Safezone is now active, alongside the transponder.

Permissions

To access the permissions menu, press your inventory key (I) and select "Stations". You'll then see the "Stations List". Select your station. In this menu, you can change the access privileges that all players, friends, your company and group have. When the station is first created, you only have the ability to change the transponder and who can view it.

Building

To build on your station, you will need the Advanced Crafting Bench. This provides the user with a variety of blocks to build their station with. However, the user will need to research these blocks in the "Advanced" research tab before being allowed to use them.

Troubleshooting

Invisible transponder

If you can't see your station's transponder (i.e: User's Station) after the Safezone is secured, go to your Settings -> Transponders -> Station Transponders. From there, set these values for the following labelled settings:

• "Amount of received signals from Station Transponders" to 30
• "Receive signals from owned stations" to 3.0
• "Station Transponder range" to 500
• "Distance for hiding Station Transponder signals" from 0.1 to 1.5
• "Speed limit for Station Transponder visibility" to 0

Can't press blue button without a system error

If you are too close to an Origin Station, you will get the error that says:

"You are attempting to build your station in a restricted area, please find another location"

To alleviate this, ensure that you are at least 30km away from an Origin station.

If you're too close to a Player Station, you will get the error that says:

"You are too close to other stations to activate the projector"

To fix this, look for any player stations surrounding you. In your transponder settings, max the "Receive signals from x" values to ensure that you can see all player stations, regardless of affiliation. This can be reverted afterwards if you wish.
