No Man's Sky: How to build in a large radius around your base

The most important info on base expansion:

• Your base is basically defined with a radius of 300 u around the base computer.
• By building within this area, however, the radius is expanded. These can be structures as well as decorations or other building objects.
• This is important if you want to develop an electromagnetic source that is not directly at your base.
• Remove yourself from the base in the direction of the hotspot source and build an object approximately every 50 u.
• This will extend the buildable zone. Repeat this until you reach the source.

However, this method also has its limits: although not officially stated, most players report a limit at around 1,000 u. So the power source should not be further away from your base if you want to use this method.Tip: If the method does not work, save and reload the game. In many cases it will work then.
