A station of your own can be a great asset in your exploration of the Starbase universe. Whether you build one in the permanent safezone near the Origin stations, or far out into the belt; it can be a place for you to craft, store ore, and set up a living space of your own.


'''Step I'''
To begin making a station, you'll have to get a Station foundation, the "Inside Safe Zone" one if you plan to build inside the permanent safezone, and the "Outside Safe Zone" one if you want to build further out into the universe.


Start the game and choose "ENTER UNIVERSE" from the Main Menu.
This guide assumes you are taking the route of crafting everything yourself, though if you bought a foundation and station parts on the auction house, you can skip ahead to Step 3.

Crafting a station foundation takes a good bit of material, and the "Outside Safe Zone" foundation is significantly more expensive to make than the "Inside Safe Zone" foundation.

Either foundation needs to be at least 30km away from the nearest Origin station, and 2km from the nearest player station (as opposed to the 1km the description of the item mentions). To place it down, you drag the foundation out of your inventory, and press the button on top. Keep in mind that the button will be the top side of the station; while you can walk on any side just fine, there are some parts that you can't rotate in every orientation with easy build mode right now, so keeping the "up" direction of the foundation in mind is advised.


'''Step I'''
If you want to rotate the foundation, you can do so before pressing the button by aligning your player how you want the foundation to be aligned, and grabbing it with E. (This is a bit of a weird way of aligning things, but just experiment with it until it is oriented like you want.)


Find the shop called "Constructs".

Buy the Station Foundation Blueprint Projector and make sure it is in your inventory when leaving the station.

=== Create your station ===
Find an empty spot in the universe and press the button on the Station Foundation Blueprint Projector.
* You cannot create your station too close to other stations
* You cannot create your station in restricted areas
* If you try to create your station but the area is restricted, pick up the projector and find a more suitable place

=== Build station foundation ===
Build the Station Foundation Blueprint. You can build it in three different ways:
1. By using a building tool and having the correct materials in your inventory or station storage.
* You can see which materials are required for each part by accessing the Universal Tool and choosing the Materials tab
[[File:2020-12-07_16_34_32-Starbase.png|600px]]
2. Automated building; you have correct pieces in your inventory or station storage and they automatically go to the blueprint at the rate of one piece in one second.
* You can change the automated building settings by pressing I and navigating to Stations tab, and choosing Building page
3. Manually snapping the correct piece into place (press C to toggle snapping on/off) and weld with M1 (and unweld with M2 if needed) using the welding tool.

=== Add modules to your station ===
Once the station foundation is finished, the Station Designer can be accessed from the terminal inside it!
[[File:2020-12-08_13_08_34-Starbase.png|600px]]
==== Warning! ====
Your Station will not work properly if the modules are not fully attached to the Foundation. The Landing Pad does not snap to it, only lot modules. Use the '''"Show detached Station parts"''' button in the station desinger to highlight faulty modules before saving.
=== Resigning and claiming a station ===
* You can resign a station from the terminal inside the station foundation at any time
* You can also resign the station by pressing the button on Station Foundation Blueprint Projector, if nothing has been built yet
* Once you resign your station, anyone can claim it, becoming the new owner

Summary

Guide for Starbase Station building.

Introduction

A station of your own can be a great asset in your exploration of the Starbase universe. Whether you build one in the permanent safezone near the Origin stations, or far out into the belt; it can be a place for you to craft, store ore, and set up a living space of your own.

To begin making a station, you'll have to get a Station foundation, the "Inside Safe Zone" one if you plan to build inside the permanent safezone, and the "Outside Safe Zone" one if you want to build further out into the universe.

This guide assumes you are taking the route of crafting everything yourself, though if you bought a foundation and station parts on the auction house, you can skip ahead to Step 3.

Step 1: Research

To be able to craft a station foundation, you'll need to unlock the Station Foundation research in the tech tree

Step 2: Crafting

Crafting a station foundation takes a good bit of material, and the "Outside Safe Zone" foundation is significantly more expensive to make than the "Inside Safe Zone" foundation.

Step 3: Placing the foundation

Either foundation needs to be at least 30km away from the nearest Origin station, and 2km from the nearest player station (as opposed to the 1km the description of the item mentions). To place it down, you drag the foundation out of your inventory, and press the button on top. Keep in mind that the button will be the top side of the station; while you can walk on any side just fine, there are some parts that you can't rotate in every orientation with easy build mode right now, so keeping the "up" direction of the foundation in mind is advised.

If you want to rotate the foundation, you can do so before pressing the button by aligning your player how you want the foundation to be aligned, and grabbing it with E. (This is a bit of a weird way of aligning things, but just experiment with it until it is oriented like you want.)
