    We can't core and salvage the Heidelberg now??! Are you joking me?:eek:

    Removed core and it told me I couldn't place mine because it was a 'Regeneratable Base'.

    OK, I get that the storyline's POI's must be protected against a noob destroying it and breaking the storyline, but the Heidelberg is one of the biggest loot finds in early game!

    It's been my go-to strategy to Core it, quickly construct some Turrets to fend off the Zirax drones and use it as an early base.

    Now that's not possible, but more importantly is the inability to LOOT it! That dramatically changes the game.

    I just started my second run through of the new storyline. I hadn't started the story yet as I'm on an Ice planet trying desperately to survive and ran across the Heidelberg. FINALLY SAFE!

    Uhhh or not. I CAN access the Constructor and loot the boxes but can't core it.:(o_O

    Tell me it isn't so, Joe!

    If I follow the story and get past the point where the Heidelberg isn't needed does it change status then??

    Meh. Dig under core. Shoot it. Or use bomb.

    The regenerable base probably refers to the game settings where poi's that are marked to regenerate cannot be taken over as a base. This is more common on a server than a single player I believe. The only way to change it is to change that setting so that no poi's regenerate, it'll fix the problem but then it will literally prevent ANY poi's from respawning.

    Already dug under it and removed it as I'm early in this game enough I don't HAVE any explosives! :D
    I do kinda feel lost without my Plasma Cannon.

    I can REMOVE the core, just not place mine.

    After I removed it I found I could use my MultiTool to remove blocks, so you CAN loot it, but after the Core was removed the Constructor allows access, but won't DO anything because there's no core ...

    That's a PITA; at this point in the game I could really use a Large Constructor. I image the Food Processor's dead too, same reason, but didn't try it.

    I'm assuming {Ahem} that it regenerates back?? If so that represents an interesting scenario of looting it multiple times ... :oops::rolleyes:

    I'll remove a couple thrusters and check back later. {Insert evil giggle}

    EDIT: Yep. It regenerates, including cargo box content. Interesting ...

    Yeah, thanks, that was my take (WAG) on it.

    EDIT: I have since found all the POI's in the storyline are Regeneratable. So much for my standard game play of killing a POI and setting up as a base. {Sigh}

    Currently playing a slow start building up and still haven't taken out a Zirax base. I've used the Drone POI as a base before, hope it's still able to be taken over, although I gave in and built an underground, inside a mountain, base.

    The Zirax thoughtfully keep sending me ships and solders full of loot. Very kind. Oh and once a day a Golem spawns on a nearby hill. Poor thing doesn't seem to like my 30mm Cannon. Sad.
