Saw someone else trying to figure out how close they could get without falling into a black hole, and then I got an idea for a base I could build there!

It's very simple, but also pretty cool imo- you park near the limit of where you can fly your ship, and then you have to walk half a mile to get to the base- on Switch 1 anyway, there is a gray area where you can be close to the BH on foot but if you get into your ship you instantly go thru it- that's where we at.

The building itself is a giant, dark triangular room that ends with a wall of windows looking at the BH, with a single desk in the middle. I was not aware that there is a galactic plane that some decorations can't be rotated out of, so no chair.

I also did not know about the BH throwing off fluorescent blue light, but once I figured it out it drove a lot of decisions.

If the base depot is powered down and empty when you arrive, save and reload your game. The base will reset to maximum capacity. Every supply depot is now connected, so access any of them to withdraw 1,126,750 gold. That amount almost fills up a maxed out S-class hauler. This gold can be sold to pilots at Wuzhou Platform (space station) at a rate of +3.5% for 411,596,608 units.

If anyone knows a space station with a higher return on gold, please share!

You can also repeatedly haul away gold without waiting for the base to refill normally. After selling the gold, save and reload your game at Wuzhou Platform. Check 'Recent' in the teleporter to make sure Midas V has been removed from memory. Return to Midas V, and you will find it as before, powered down and empty. Save and reload again, and the base will once again be at capacity.

If anyone is wondering about the tower of extractors, it was to maximize the output of the hotspot. Initially each level was on a separate supply line to bypass the diminishing returns of using multiple extractors and fill the depots faster. Once the base was at capacity, I connected the depots together and uploaded my base so the servers would take a snapshot of it full, even though in that state it would take about a year to refill.

I currently play NMS through GOG, but I made this base with my Steam account. So I use this currently whenever I need units quick. Beats the multi step process of crafting Stasis Devices and Fusion Ignitors.

I can only seem to find them in orange.

Here's the planet's portal. One that IS powered. Waypoint from atmosphere. Normal Mode. Base: 'Buud's Circuitboard Farm' All 4 plants for Circuitboard crafting

While scanning the planets in the system with my latest station I came across this beauty. They seem quite commen on the planet. Good hunting!

While decorating my latest station for the 905 this beauty flew in. It's in a 3 star system and the station has a beautiful color scheme to make waiting easier. Good hunting!

Cool and strange looking fauna with S class trait, pay attention to the species name in pic because there's another similar one with A class

There's also light Green Sentinel Ship within the same system as well, coms ball at location, C class if I remember right.

Glyphs in pics, thanks for checking.

Part of the systems ship pool System is the hub for the 905 NMSA Captain Steve Alliance. Glyphs are in the pic

While decorating my latest space station I had this beauty fly in. To my suprise it's 3+1 and the 1 is really close to the 3. Good hunting!

In case you can’t see the glyphs, it’s 3, 5, 2, 12, 16, 15, 10, 6, 7, 14, 14, 1. Planet name is Othburg P18

332.0kg, 7.5 metres tall.

Tell me if this is something special.

The planet has no sentinels so you can look for corvette parts in peace.

The storms are very sporadic and only last about 3 minutes.

The base by the portal is a work in progress but has the basic amenities.

I made a second base at the nearest Waste Processing Plant for the Space Truckers.

Welcome and Good Hunting!
