How to Teleport to Your Friend’s Base in No Man’s Sky: A Comprehensive Guide

Teleporting to your friend’s base in No Man’s Sky is a fantastic way to explore the vast universe together, share resources, and embark on cooperative adventures. However, the process isn’t always immediately apparent to new players. Here’s a detailed guide on how to quickly and efficiently warp to your friend’s carefully crafted home in the stars.

The most direct way to teleport to a friend’s base is through the Space Anomaly, also known as the Nexus. Once you and your friend are in a multiplayer session, follow these steps:

1. Summon the Space Anomaly: Use your quick menu to summon the Space Anomaly. This is a large, circular space station that appears in the orbit of a planet. It may take a few seconds to arrive.
2. Enter the Anomaly: Fly into the opening at the bottom of the Anomaly to land inside.
3. Locate the Teleporter: Head towards the back of the Anomaly, where you’ll find the large teleporter device, distinguished by its glowing blue interface.
4. Access the Teleporter: Interact with the teleporter. This will open a menu showing you a list of your available destinations.
5. Select Your Friend’s Base: In the teleporter menu, you should see a list of bases and space stations you’ve previously visited. If your friend has uploaded their base and you are in the same multiplayer session, their base should also be listed under the ‘Other Bases’ or ‘Multiplayer’ category. Select your friend’s base from the list.
6. Confirm Teleport: Confirm your selection, and you’ll instantly warp to your friend’s base, ready to explore and cooperate.

This is the most reliable way to reach a friend’s base, ensuring you arrive quickly and are ready to team up.

Additional Ways to Find Your Friend

While the Space Anomaly method is the most straightforward for established multiplayer sessions, there are other methods that can help you meet up in No Man’s Sky, which may allow you to eventually reach their base.

Using the Galactic Map

The Galactic Map is an essential tool for navigation and finding friends. While not as direct as the Anomaly teleporter, it provides a universe-wide overview. When playing in a multiplayer session, the Galactic Map will show the location of your friend’s currently, allowing you to try and travel towards their location.

• Access the Galactic Map: Open the galactic map.
• Locate Your Friend: If you and your friend are in a session, their location will show up.
• Navigate: Plot a course to your friend’s system. This can be a slow process if they are very far away.
• Use Other Methods: Once in the same system, using the anomaly to teleport to their base will then become possible.

Joining via the Main Menu

• Main Menu: If not already in a session, from the main menu, you can select the option to “Join Game”.
• Find Your Friends: Once on that menu, you can join a game that a friend is actively in, if their session is visible to you.
• Join and Teleport: Once in the same session, you can use the space anomaly teleporter to reach their base.

Tips for Easy Teleportation

• Ensure Base is Uploaded: For your friend’s base to appear in the teleporter list, your friend must have uploaded their base using the base computer. This ensures that it’s shared with other players in the universe.
• Multiplayer Settings: Double-check that you are both in an active multiplayer session. If a player is offline or not in the same session, you will not be able to see their base.
• Friend List: Add each other as friends in-game. This will allow you to easily invite each other to your sessions and appear on the friends list in the Anomaly.
• Plan Your Travel: If you are starting far from each other, it may be better to join together before trying to travel to your friend’s base, in order to minimize travel time, and be available to join from the anomaly.

FAQs: Teleporting to Friend’s Bases in No Man’s Sky

1. Can I teleport directly to a friend from anywhere?

No, direct teleportation from anywhere to a friend is not possible. You must use the teleporter in the Space Anomaly or the Base Teleport Module. You cannot, for example, teleport directly to them from a planet’s surface.

2. What is a Base Teleport Module?

The Base Teleport Module is a base building product that allows you to teleport between your bases and space stations you have previously visited. It does not allow you to travel to a friend’s base directly from your own, however.

3. Do I need to be friends in-game to teleport to their base?

Yes, it is highly recommended to add each other as friends in-game to ensure you appear in their session, and to more easily travel to their location using the Galactic Map. This can help with visibility in the space anomaly teleporter as well.

4. How do I join my friend’s session if they aren’t in the same system?

From the main menu, navigate to “Join Game” to find sessions hosted by your friends. This will allow you to join their current game. If they are in a system far from your current location, you can travel there, but it might be more convenient to join first.

5. Can we build on the same base together?

Yes! In No Man’s Sky, players can build on the same base together, creating and sharing a base.

6. How many bases can a player have?

A player can have multiple bases across different planets and systems, but only one base per planet or moon will be visible to other players who are not in the same multiplayer session.

7. Can I see my friend’s base if it hasn’t been uploaded?

No, your friend must upload their base via the base computer for it to be visible to other players. Make sure they remember to do this.

8. What is the Space Anomaly (Nexus)?

The Space Anomaly or Nexus is a large space station that you can summon, and is home to a variety of useful features, including a teleporter that allows you to teleport to previously visited locations, or to your friend’s bases.

9. How do I get to the Space Anomaly?

You can summon the Space Anomaly from your quick menu while you are in space. It will appear in orbit around a planet in your current system.

10. What if my friend’s base doesn’t appear in the teleporter list?

Ensure they have uploaded their base, that you are in the same multiplayer session, and that you are both in the correct system. Restarting the game may also fix this issue.

11. Can we share base materials and resources?

Yes, you can share base materials and resources with your friends while you are on the same team. However, you may have to drop them as physical items, they aren’t automatically shared.

12. What happens if I teleport to a friend in a different galaxy?

If you teleport to a friend’s base in another galaxy, it is recommended to have your own base in that galaxy for more reliable travel. Teleporting to their base will bring you there, but it may be harder to travel to other galaxies by yourself.

13. How far can we build our base in No Man’s Sky?

You can build your base within a certain radius of your base computer. This can be extended to 1000u both horizontally and vertically by placing objects outside of that radius.

14. Do I need special equipment to join my friend’s base?

No, you don’t need any special equipment to join your friend’s base once you are able to reach it via the space anomaly.

15. Is it possible to find friends in the random player sessions?

Yes, you can meet random players by using the “Join Random Player” option in multiplayer. Once you have joined the session, you can add each other as friends and explore the galaxy together, before then attempting to reach each other’s base through the normal means.

By following this guide, you’ll be well on your way to exploring the universe with your friends, sharing the wonders of No Man’s Sky together.
