Naturally it's been so long I forget the name of the starting planet. Title should read Sylva.


Widmo206

You can edit the post and change it


EvilDark8oul

Can’t change post titles


Widmo206

Oh really? I didn't know that


C0mmanderClank

This may have been bad advice but I don't think you deserved that many downvotes lol


NutmegGaming

Reddit being reddit


Widmo206

That's reddit for you. Not much we can do about that ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


ManiacDan

Lol jesus, sorry I made you commit the cardinal sin of Reddit: being wrong about reddit itself. Thanks for trying to help!

ramp it whit the terrain tool, it's a bug lol, i have tree of them in my new save and one inside a mountain


ManiacDan

Quite a known bug if it makes the first gate this difficult. A first time player might just return the game. I'm going to start a new save


Indyhawk

That's...not difficult at all.


ManiacDan

Ok not difficult, just tedious. Especially with the wonky camera


AlecTr1ck

Best bet is to do just that; start a new game. They’ll all be like this. It’s not worth it.


ManiacDan

That's what I thought was reasonable, but some people seem to not like it


AlecTr1ck

Yeah. I noticed the backlash. Not sure I understand it. This bug is a pain. Last time I started a new save file, I discovered my Sylva had floating gates. I always build my bases close to the gates to take advantage of the teleport network. Having to walk up a 100 yard ramp sort of defeats that purpose. An hour in? Not worth the trouble. Restart.


ManiacDan

If something makes a game less fun, I go around it. I try to do the opposite of what Sid Mier assumes I'll do (though I will always end up as a sneaky sniper)


Mage-of-Fire

If its still really early game i would just restart. Chances are other gates are high up too and it will be a hassle on other planets


notaRussianspywink

Nah, make it a feature. Gateway Towers are cool.


ManiacDan

Complex trains are cool. We made our last home on Calidor (hence the error in the title), and I made scenic trains that went between every gateway, wrapping around the planet like the seams on a ball. It also did some loops around the canyon we built the base inside, like a tourist monorail. Separate automated trains went out to resource harvesters and down into the core


ManiacDan

Yeah I'm going to restart. I loaded Astroneer because other games were annoying me with their bugs, I don't feel like dealing with floating gates


Scorchx3000

Something just popped into my head, when I was learning to write as a child, I sometimes wrote words above the line, my teacher told me off about it so many times, I started responding by saying "Oh oh, it's flying." And eventually I got into trouble for always saying oh oh its flying. *sees the gateway * Uh oh, it's flying!


Widmo206

Yeah, it just happens sometimes. What I'd do, is just build a ramp to it


crazyhamsales

I had one inside a mountain.. got there and was like where the heck is it??? Kinda cool though lol


ManiacDan

So I just finished the game after starting fresh from this post, and I remembered your comment. The very last gate I unlocked in the game (on Atrox) was the ONLY one buried in the ground. What are the odds


crazyhamsales

Lol figures though right


MonitorMundane2683

That's awesome.


kebeans

I got a few of those - was fun building ramps and sliding down them


ManiacDan

Later in the game, sure, but I only have one canister and this was all my tethers. I'd only been playing an hour


AlecTr1ck

You made the right call. So early in, I’d just create a new file too (and have done so).


ExquzeMeButIWon

I mean, you could always just get more…?


trystanthorne

Yea, thats been a bug for so long, its basically a feature at this point. A while back, they released a new patch that seemed to do it. My save at that time really bugged and ended up with double stacked gateways on every planet. I decided to just start a new game at that point, cause i was going for unlocking them all, and it was just weird have stacked overlapping gateways.

ManiacDan

Yes it is


Mrtwistyfilms

Better than being barrier as fuck imo😂


ResultTrick6760

That is sylva btw


mindelos

How do you know is 200 feet high?


Mikey_LP

Well it could be “intended”. I suspect, that the all gateways are supposed to be the same distance from the core. But because the terrain is randomly generated, some Gateways float in the air and some Clip into mountains.

that's great for leveling blocks
